aux. beat Aphotic in ED cup final
17-03-2010, 16:50 | By Jam0r
Yesterday saw us play our final game in the ED Challenge Cup #11 against 
Aphotic, who in all honestly we know nothing about. Being out of the CSS scene for quite a while now it's difficult to recognize any teams these days who we used to play against 'back in the day'.
Anyway, we went into the map cautiously making sure there were no surprises along the way. We lost knives and Aphotic choose CT side first, we've always believed de_contra was a T sided map so we weren't too fussed about this. However things didn't start off to well. We lost the pistol even though we got the early picks and the next couple of eco rounds went Aphotic's way.
Things started to swing our way however with the first buy round, since the map is so large splits and full on rushes work so well as it takes the opponent about 15 years to rotate from the other bomb site. Using this to our advantage we ended the half 9-6 to us.
CT side was another matter, we had the upper hand but couldn't leave anything to chance. Once again we lost the pistol round and Aphotic seemed to be concentrating on bombsite B a lot, getting their flashes over the walls well and having quite an easy time gaining entrance into the site and getting the bomb down. After a brief spell of abuse on Ventrilo,
Gandofini and Jam0r changed their setup and managed to lock the site down for the rest of the game.
This kind of sealed their fate, it seemed as though Aphotic had run out of ideas, with both bomb sites locked down, it was just a case of picking them off from afar.
Well played to Aphotic and a well played to the lads is deserved, our first achievement since coming back, lets keep it up.
