DM4 and DM2 were close and exciting. The games were so close and could have gone either way however Doom was always able to just stay that little bit ahead to go into a 2-1 lead.
Dm4 [doom 19 - 14 xpr]
Dm2 [doom 15 - 11 xpr]
And then the decider. At 2-1 down xpr needed to win this. This was agonizingly close with doom holding his nerve to win by just two frags and to take the title by 3 maps to one.
