RISEUP

The RISEUP Stand-Off Version 2 has come to an end tonight.

Bravado came through the tournament unbeaten until they met with boondocks in an earlier stage in the competition. They were defeated by the smallest of margins and were forced to the lower bracket. Bravado then dominated their opposition defeating both 501 and ESP to make it to the Grand Finals once again. Boondocks made it through unbeaten and have been unbeaten with their new lineup since last year.

With everybody buzzing, the finals got underway and the first map was de_inferno. After losing the knife round, the boondocks team went on to start well as terrorists and took the opening 3 rounds. Bravado fought back hard though and took majority of the remaining rounds and ended confidently 11-4 up. The second map saw the boondocks team with no momentum and went down without a fight 5-0, losing the map 16-4.

At the beginning of the second map, de_dust2, the boondocks team seemed to have no care for the game and had no focus.  The fresh new bravado team took advantage of this attitude and dominated once again to take the half 10-5. The boondocks team fought back a little in the second half but then lost momentum once again to go down 6-3 and once again loose the map, 16-8.

After being defeated in earlier stages, bravado took a swift revenge on the boondocks team to show why they are number 1 in the game. Many argued that the boondocks team were out of practice, with LighteR and sneaK not having stable connections over the past month or two, however the result will remain.

The final placings for the competition are:

1^st: Bravado
2^nd: Boondocks
3^rd: ESP
4^th: 501.a
5^th/6^th: Pantheon
5^th/6^th: 501.b
7^th/8^th: zE
7^th/8^th: motion
