well after days of whining, compromising, whatever you want to call it the game we all had been waiting for finally happend! We also offcourse spent like 2 hours to try to find the most equal server and we finally decided that get2net.dk was the best. FF had a average ping of 28 and tVS 35.

tVS choosed dm2 and got the better start. tVS managed to grab both low and high rl but the quad was snatched by aKKe. aKKe then got himself a armor and attacked high rl but he was killed fast. tVS then runs away to a 29-7 lead at the 18min to go mark. At this point FF has 3 rl but tVS gets the quad once again but now the map is neutral, the positions switches between safe/lost and this continues for about a minute before tVS once again gets control over water/tele but somehow pietro manage to grab quad, even though he dies fast FF is closing in fast on tVS lead. At the 16min to go mark the score is totally even at 37-37 and pietro gets his second quad in a row and goes and clean low rl. Pietro then gets his third consecutive quad and once again cleans low rl. So at the 14min to go mark the score is 58-36 to FF. The 8th quad between the the 12 and 13th min to go mark goes to tVS, even though the quad dies fast this ment that tVS got some more time to prepare a attack to get the map back. At this point the score was 79-38 to FF. When we reach the 10 minute mark FF's lead has grown to 98-41, but then tVS makes a very good and timed attack. Ihminen, Mirage and Blaze invades high rl, kills the 2 FF players that is there and Ihminen gets the quad, about 30 seconds later FF's lead had been decreased with 10 frags, the game now started to take a exciting turn again. Ihminen then grabs another Quad and tVS now have full control over the water/tele area. So with 8 mins to go the score was 107-68 to FF. Ihminen takes his third consecutive quad and attack low rl and there he met akke, 3 shots later Ihminen was dead and FF once again had some space. Ihminen takes for the 4th time but this time it doesnt go so well.. it's results in a bore. Ihminen still manage to grab his 5th quad in a row but he couldnt clean out ff completely. With 5 mins to go we had the score 116-79 to FF. And then when its time for the quad aKKe settles the game with a magnificent quadsnatch and he doesnt just take it, he gets away with it as well. That move was as highly skilled as the ihminen/blaze overtake earlier. When its 3 minutes left of the game it is clear that FF is going to win, the lead was then 148-84. The last minutes was fully controlled by FF, the game finished 177-93 to FF.

This game was very fun to watch, there was great quadruns and overtakes from both clans. Thanks for the show.

FF choosed e1m2 and this time it was they who got the best start getting rl/mega/ya while tVS got quad, but the quad was killed instantly at gl. After 1 minute the score was 12-7 to FF. The following 3 minutes aKKe has a really good period fragging like hell so after 4 minutes FF have increased their lead to 46-22. But they don't control the map 100% , tVS is getting frags now and continue doing good attacks at quad. With 15 minutes to go tVS finally got another quad but he died pretty quickly and the map was still open, the teams had vague control over different parts of the map, but it was FF that was fragging the most. The score at this point was 72-35. The following minutes is the first time in the game where a team gets pretty good control, and that was FF. Mostly because exile who did some impressive quadruns cleaning out tVS. tVS continued with their attacks from start/ga but at this point they were a easy bite for FF which had full control over the crucially important ya. 116-48 was the score with 12 minutes to go. FF's lead just grew bigger and bigger after some very nice tp and at the halfpoint mark their lead was as big as 142-56. With 8 mins to go Blaze gets a quad and tVS starts to get some frags again, this quad opens up the game a little and in the following minutes there is some intense action over the whole map, showing some great skills from all players. And with 6 minutes to go we allready could point out the winner because FF had gotten themselfs a 205-88 lead! this time it was pietro who had some kind of a "fragorgie", getting 25 frags in about 3-4 minutes. But tVS didn't give up til the end, they continued to spam the quad and sometimes they succeded but FF got the control back pretty fast anyway mostly because their welltimed teamplay. I'm certainly not saying that tVS had a bad tp, but it still seems like FF is the best clan without a doubt as well as tVS is without a doubt in the top 4 clans in the world, The last 5 minutes continued in the same spirit as the first 3 quarters of the game with FF as the dominating team. The final score was 264-126 to FF .. and I'm still amazed over both clans teamplay/overtakes/skills , specially FF's in this case.

This game was one of the best I ever seen, so I certainly want all off you to download demos from both maps!

GL to FF in the final, I think you will have a veeeery good chance of retaining your title as the best in the world :)

And offcourse also a very big GG to tVS that fought hard vs the reigning champions.
