Match 1: ELONG vs Horsemen

 

 

Match 1: ELONG vs Horsemen

After the first round of Horsemen vs. ELONG, ELONG had one member of their team disconnect, and after the game lobby was finished, he did not reconnect for three minutes. As a result, ELONG was given a default loss, and Horsemen moved on to the winner's match.

Match 1 Winner

ELONG 1:5 Horsemen

 

Match 2: Charlotte Tiger vs Team Efficiency

 

 

Match 2: Charlotte Tiger vs Team Efficiency

This match was simply too good for words. The two maps that we played on saw neither team drop a single map on defensive side, thus we saw a tiebreaker on Siegfried Line. And because there were no victories on offensive side, that meant that we would have the defense / offense team side determined by damage dealt. Charlotte Tiger had the right to choose, and so they chose defense. Team Efficiency just couldn't pull it off on the offensive.

Match 2 Winner

Charlotte Tiger 5:4 Team Efficiency

 

Match 3: Horsemen vs Charlotte Tiger

 

Match 3: Horsemen vs Charlotte Tiger

The first map was Murovanka and we saw a three to one point advantage coming from Charlotte Tiger, leading the Taiwanese Titans by two points. On map two, Steppes, we saw Horsemen take the score to three to one, and thus take it in to a tie-breaker with the most clutch plays imaginable. In the tiebreaker, however, Charlotte Tiger had once again chosen defense. The difference in experience on this map, however, became clear when Horsemen chose all auto-loaders, both heavy and light, to go in to the city and light things up. Charlotte Tiger's defensive setup was mostly geared towards the North of their spawning point. Horsemen moved in and started sniping them one by one, and the rest of the push came with a win from Horsemen. For the first time in 2015, we would see a Taiwanese team in the Season Finals.

 

Match 3 Winner

Horsemen 5:4 Charlotte Tiger

Match 1: ELONG vs T-E

 

 

Match 1: ELONG vs T-E

The teams played on Murovanka for their first map. ELONG was playing their usual bait-the-capture play style to lure out tanks for the first two rounds. Team Efficiency on offense went with a heavier tank loadout. The end score was three to one at the end of Murovanka, the score favored ELONG. Map number two was Steppes as we frequently see, and Team efficiency took one map, but the end score reached 5-2 in favor of ELONG who would go on to face Charlotte Tiger.

 

Match 1 Winner

ELONG 5:2 Team Efficiency

 

Match 2: ELONG vs Charlotte Tiger

 

 

Match 2: ELONG vs Charlotte Tiger

With Horsemen going to the Season 3 finals, we felt it a bit strange that only one of our two Season 2 finalist teams would be joining them in Season 3. Map number one was to be played on Prokhorovka, one of the least seen maps in Season 3's last three weeks of play. ELONG's offense rounds were played extremely well, getting them two wins straight from the start. Charlotte Tiger was able to take one round on offense, but this brought the score to three to one - once again, in favor of ELONG. Map two was Murovanka and ELONG knew from the get-go that rushing their opponents would be the strongest strategy they could employ. They did this not just in game one but in game two as well, taking ELONG straight to 5-1, putting them in the Season 3 finals with Horsemen.

Match 2 Winner

ELONG 5:1 Charlotte Tiger
