And there they sat again, five fallen warriors. Second place, again. One more final played in front of the magnificent Bercy crowd, resulting in a very anti-climatic ending for a team that throughout the tournament played inspiring and with a lot of heart. “They seem to have a problem with the Danish team”, a man to my right muttered. I quickly nodded. “Next time, they will beat them next time”, I said, trying to imagine what they felt after the very one-sided final.

Hehehey guys. We got back from Paris a couple of days ago. I guess that you could say that we made a bad mistake not removing D2 in the finals, but we stuck with our plan and it worked out terribly. Oh well. At least we had MTW sweating for a couple of minutes – apparently they hadn’t played D2 at all prior to the tournament. It works like this; one team removes one map, then the other team removes two and then the first team gets to pick which map they want to play out of the two remaining. When it got back to them they had to pick either D2 or Tuscan. They went with D2, good pick for them apparently.


Anyway, it feels good that Chris aka Sunde had his karma account drained due to the fact that he hit a shot with AWP to kill me through the double doors when there was a smoke there. DID YOU HEAR THAT SUNDE, DON’T EVER DO THAT AGAIN, BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN. Obviously that tilted me enormously. Anyway, they are really cool guys and I don’t feel as bad as I would’ve losing to some other team. But two consecutive final losses in a row versus them are two too much.


Danish teams have always been a huge problem for us and I don’t really know why. Statistically we match up terrible versus them -- we have to work on that. Anyway, as for the rest of the tournament, I felt that the bootcamp was really good for us and we played really well.


Our next event is Estars in Korea and I’m really pumped to go there and show some good results, as well as having a good time. After that some of us play the ENC finals, FORZA SWEDEN, and then we’re heading for the states and San Jose for the ESWC main event.



ESWC knows ESPORT, playing a stage match is amazing.

One last thing: I just switched back to my MS 1.1 SE from a Deathadder and I think I'm in love. I will probably be tons better because I've always loved it and always played with it prior to getting sponsored by Razer.

Fnatic in our hearts,

Harley.
