UnrealNorth 2on2 SteelCup - xTp wins!
The cup is over, and after what I can only describe as a massive success we're ready to look at what happened in this tournament.
Last night we had some of the, in my opinion, best UT2004 2on2 matches ever played!
We had UTV, shoutcast and even scorebot, it couldn't have been better; check inside for results, demos and everything else!
UB Final
xTp ( zeD + inSi) [2:1] Saints and Sinners ( luxxiz + Freeman) - demo.
The UB Final was the first game to be played last night and it kicked off in the best possible way, xTp and sas going head to head with almost even scores for the whole game, ultimately we found ourselves watching a blasting 5 minute overtime, which was only decided with approximately 30 seconds left with sas stepping up and taking the last few frags to secure the first map, DM-Rankin.
Second map, Corrugation was won in safe style by xTp, after map elimination the decider map was Campgrounds which was pretty much a one sided affair later on into the game, xTp wins their way into the Grand Final, while sas must play OctopuS in the LB Final.
LB Final
OctopuS ( sebo + Lazarus) [1:2] Saints and Sinners ( luxxiz + Freeman) - demo.
After a short break, we were ready to go yet again. First map was Campgrounds, OctopuS' choice, it seemed as sas had lost their motivation after losing to xTp, and OctopuS played an amazing game, taking Campgrounds home without further problems. But it wouldn't just be a walk in the park for OctopuS, on Rankin sas managed to bounce back and beat OctopuS in a strong style.'
Yet again we would have to see a decider map, this time it was AkBal, a quite different map to watch for many, but nevertheless it turned out to be a real thriller, sas and OctopuS both seemed to want the Grand Final spot very much and were certainly not giving the other team any chances of walking away with an easy win. 1 minute left and the score different were switching between 1-2 frags all the time, UTV was glowing hot by spectators cheering and A_Spec's voice seemed like it would die any second, 30 seconds left and the score is tied up, 40:40 and both teams know that the years of practise can be what decides this game, 5 seconds left, A_Spec is doing the countdown, 4 seconds, and Freeman takes down an OctopuS player and thus makes it 41:40.
After one hell of a game, OctopuS drew the shortest straw and thus sas advances into the Grand Final, where they once again will meet up against xTp.
Grand Final
xTp ( zeD + inSi) [2:1] Saints and Sinners ( luxxiz + Freeman) - demo.
The time is nearing 23:30 and we're finally ready for what we've all been waiting for this tournament, the Grand Final, yet again sas picks Rankin and xTp picks Corrugation. After both winning each their map they head off for the decider map, which yet again is AkBal.
Despite it was getting late, and we'd been going since 19:30, everyone was in their best mood on UTV, A_Spec kept on going on the shoutcast and the players were playing better than ever. The match progresses fairly even, with xTp maintaining a small lead most of the time, with a few minutes left that lead has increased to almost 10 frags, as time ticks down it seems to look darker and darker for sas and with around 30 seconds left, they know it's over and start spamming out the smilies and calling the good game. After a really good final we've finally found the winner, xTp!
Ranking
 xTp ( zeD + inSi) - 2 SteelPad QcK Heavy + 2 SteelSound 3H
 Saints and Sinners ( luxxiz + Freeman) - 2 SteelPad QcK Heavy

Last but not least, I hope you enjoyed this cup, the games and the coverage.
I personally want to thank the people who made it possible for me to run it as well as it was.
Thanks to Cosmo for UTV, thanks to A_Spec for shoutcasting, zech for helping me during the groupstage, thanks to all the players being easy to handle and getting demos from, especially luxxiz who took care of the Serverside demos from the last 3 games.
Of course thanks to everyone who signed up, and obviously also everyone who followed the cup, it wouldn't had been anything without you guys!

Thanks, tewic, cosmo, a_spec and alot of other guys in the background. Brings back some great gaming memories.
And also thanks to all players in the finals, semis. Very funny to watch your skilled movement, aim and gameplay.

to bad lux and freeman, was really hoping you guys should win this and show that sweden are still Nr.1 FPS country, but to bad you had to loose the final, still really nice job, I knew you guys could go really far.. TBH i thought you guys should win the cup but gha, it was close =)
congrats xtp for the win tho.. Really nice, and really nice boost for the UT2lk4 community just like Freeman said.
Hopefully it will be more of those cups in the future..

WP everybody, a lot of tense matches, good spiriit and of course a lot of matches.
I still need to understand a looot of things in TDM, but still it was great.
Thanks you tewic, Cosmo and A_spec for your verry good work
The only bad point imo was that we had to play almost every match during a single weekend.
I really hope to see some more cups like this one soon.
