The final 5 games of the TWLD season went down today. Here's a look at them.
dice vs. Fierce
37 - 50
MVP: Dak!
The first of three games that really mattered today proves to be a letdown for dice, as they stumble and fall to Fierce by 13. Congratulations to Fierce on their undefeated season! And Fierce did it today without anybody really taking over to carry, as everyone on their line had at least 9 kills, with Dak (9-3) staying back and letting everyone else take deaths to nab the MVP. Not too shabby at all. Delectable (10-10) led a respectable effort for dice, but they had a mountain to overcome to guarantee themselves a playoff spot. They'll need help from Thunder now, though.
TL;DR Dak dodges heavy fire and gets a clutch kill.
LEGO vs. Spastic
50 - 0
Spastic forfeits
Nothing really to write about this. LEGO gets their 2nd win via forfeit. Don't even need a TL;DR gif for this. But here's one, anyhow.
TL;DR When LEGO wasn't looking, Spastic ran away!
Penetrate vs. Real
37 - 50
MVP: avaruus alus!
A game for positioning and nothing else, really. Penetrate, with a win, had a chance to secure the #2 seed had Thunder also lost. Instead, Real bumps them down to the #4 seed with a 13 point win. Leading the charge was avaruus alus (14-6), a name that most of you would know better as Sika. Also, I'd like to note that Jones (11-8) had a solid game against a potential future playoff opponent, so that's a bit of good news for Real to see him perhaps get back on track. Penetrate was led by Bacon (11-10), someone who hasn't seen a huge amount of play but will probably be relied on more with the recent departures of Rasaq, Raazi and Guero. Shame about that, really.
TL;DR Despite Penetrate's best efforts, Real didn't have to try very hard to win at all.
Potenza vs. Quicksand
50 - 28
MVP: Izor!
Perhaps it was an attempt to bring back some old magic. Perhaps Quicksand merely couldn't field enough players. Whatever it was, they went old school and tried to 4v5 their way past Potenza. It didn't exactly work, as instead, they got steamrolled as Potenza picks up a win and a playoff berth. Izor (14-10) played a good, albeit selfish game to grab the MVP while his team (14-30 combined) managed to match his individual kill total. okyo (12-6) led Potenza in scoring, although, let's face it, they didn't really have to do -that- much to win it. Congrats to them, anyhow!
TL;DR okyo ruins Kyou's day.
hit vs. Thunder (Game of the Week)
50 - 47
MVP: Lasenza!
This was an awesome game until the ending came and made it all hilarious. A tight battle for the first quarter highlighted by a strong start by Ease (13-9, subbed out) and LaSenza (18-9) when hit pulled out to an 8 point lead, lost it, and didn't pull a LEGO, although we may never be entirely sure about how it could have went down. The moment everyone is going to remember from this, of course, is CrimsonX's untimely sub, where he subbed himself in right as Ease escaped danger, instantly lagged out, and cost Thunder the match. Amazing, isn't it? That lagout alone may have cost Dice the playoffs. You can thank him at your leisure. And I forgot to say Congratulations to hit for making the playoffs as well! GJ
TL;DR This is probably how CrimsonX feels now
Hot of the Week: LaSenza! (18-9 MVP)
Honorable Mentions: Fierce (for a solid spread of scores this week and going undefeated), Sika (14-6)
After the game ended, there was no doubt in my mind who Hot of the Week was going to be. The LaSenza-led hit made Thunder work for a win and they didn't even get it. Ridiculous game, and a great season for LaSenza, leading every WB in total kills.
Not of the Week: CrimsonX! (For one of the most untimely subs in TWLD history)
Dishonorable mentions: Spastic (for not showing up), Kyou and wicket666 (5-20 combined)
After the game ended, there was no doubt in my mind who Not of the Week was going to be. While I'm sure it was meant well, CrimsonX cost Thunder, at the very least, an entertaining finish to the match, and at the most, a win. At least it was hilarious, though.
Time to talk playoffs.
1) Fierce
2) Thunder
have byes next week due to seeding.
Which means next week, we'll see
#3 Real vs #6 Potenza
#4 Penetrate vs #5 hit
Good luck in your best of 3's, guys. Welcome to the playoffs.
