For the past two days, Devoted.CoD2 have been competing in the prestigious CODQCUP. They have played three games so far, and have six left to go in order to reach the finals. So far, our team has played against the strong teams KomaCrew, defusekids and Insignia Cadre. After being knocked down to the loser's bracket yesterday by KomaCrew, they played a strong game vs. the well known defusekids, and eliminated them from the tournament. Building on this, they played an exciting game vs. the famous Insignia Cadre, and eliminated them from the tournament as well. On Sunday, our players will play against inteRaction in LB Round 3. Assuming this will end in a victory, they will yet again face off against KomaCrew, who were knocked down to the loser's bracket by Team Oxid, with a chance to redeem themselves. **UPDATE** Sweeping past inteRaction without a hitch, the guys were looking forward to eliminate the team that had knocked them down to the losers bracket. Going into the game with confidence, they secured a safe 16:7 win, eliminating KomaCrew from the cup. After this, the focus was turned on getting past nEophyte, a strong team with the backing of both Intel and Nvidia. Expecting a tough game, the team kept their composure, and in the end, were able to walk away with another 16:7 win, eliminating yet another top team from the cup. The next day saw what was probably one of the most tense match-ups in the cup, going into three overtimes. The match finally ended when Devoted managed to win one of the overtimes 3:1, bringing the final score to 19:17. This lead to yet another top team being eliminated, HighFiDelity, one of the event's favorites. An hour later, the toughest match so far for Devoted.CoD2 began, versus one of the best teams in Europe, Logitech.fi. The team did not expect this to be easy, and true enough, Devoted Gaming was finally out of the tournament, with a 5:13 loss. Devoted Gaming has finished the July CODQCUP with a very respectable fourth place. Great played guys. |
