Weeks 4&5

4 went wrong... We currently have a bye loss (as do they) but we played a match (which we lost, thanks to Wu and I really playing pretty damn bad.)

Week 5 was one of the best experiences I have ever had with CSS. de_Train is very far from my favorite map, it is very CT sided, and very AWP friendly. The saturday before we played, we practiced for hours, and Wu and (mainly) me blew. alot. I worked hard, and by practice on Monday I was doing ok, not great, but ok. We played the match, won 5 T side (which we played first) and it was looking good, till they took first 3 on our CT side. We pulled it together, and were 15-14 our favor on the last round, which we promptly lost. After a bit of a scramble to find out the OT rules, we started up OT (3 rounds on each side, 10k starting money.) OT we pull some good stuff, and then screw up CT again, tying 3-3. So it goes to OT-2 same thing again. And yet again, we (Wu, me and Tao) promptly pull some stupid stuff, and it goes 3-3. So we go to OT-3, seriously, the match had gone on way longer than any of us expected, and even our good players were a little nervous. We take only 1 T. CT round 1 we win, with the best cover I have ever seen. (Perfexion literally stood ONTOP of Wu while Wu got the defuse... they both died, but we won) Sadly, we lose 2, and then it goes to the last round. Looking like another OT, but it goes bad from the first few seconds, and the other team (U238) wins in triple overtime.
I have to say, most fun match I have ever played, and the most stressful. Still, THIS is why I play CSS. For those moments when they come inner, and I dick the awper with a well placed pick shot, nade the planter, and pick the guy going for the bomb for the win.
THAT is what CS is about, split-second timings, teamwork, and flashbangs. Nothing like it in the world.
Also, gratz to PerfeXion, he pulled some of the best rounds I have ever seen him do.
