Team Fortress 2: ESEA-I 1:2 Melee

By: Nick Pitts - Published May 13, 2009 at 6:02 PM EDT - Writer Archive
Our second set of well matches brings us some great match ups.
GotFrag.com - With the week 1:1 matches finished, we witnessed an upset in the United States Pure and United States Pandemic match. Pure's great use of the utility in badonkykong enforced a strong defense. The sentry at their fourth point was key. It is looking like Pandemic is feeling the beating after letting Jaeger go.

To finish off well, we find the undefeated (1-0) taking on United States Virgin Police after thier 5-2 loss to 20id. It will be an interesting measure of skill to see vpolice take on pure. Hopefully, they saw that sentry of doom and have a plan on taking it out quick.

Next, United States Pandemic looks to rebound against Canada EG who got taken out by coL 5-2. I think this is going to be a test for both teams. EG needs to show they are the team they once were and can compete with the top two. Pandemic needs to prove they are still on top, even after the Jaeger departure. I am expecting this to be a great match and much closer than first expected.

Last, we have United States coL taking on the euro pug Sweden Fuyanks. This match should allow us to get a better idea of exactly how the Europeans will measure up against the top teams. I am equally excited to see the new coL lineup in action again. Hell seems like a great addition but I really wish dummy was still at the demo position and Reptile the soldier.

On a side note, although pure did a great job throughout the match (jaeger is a nice addition), their ability to turtle surpasses any I have seen thus far. Hopefully a team can find a way to counter it when the time comes. Touche, Pure.

HLTV ip's will be posted 15 minutes prior to the matches and scorebots will be in the chanel posted.

pure > vpolice
Pandy > EG
20id > push
coL > Fuyanks

After an upset like that with Pandy, I think pure's going to go far, maybe farther than when they beared the AI tag.

Pandy looking to rebound, but I'm rooting for EG to be a contender and the top team they are. motw?

Push is good, but I think 20id is too stacked to win against.

coL if they play on central coast servers. Maybe Fuyanks if they try to even out the pings and if they don't sandbag. Crazy pro euros.

EDIT: There is no central coast.

#13 they didn't have 6 and said they wouldn't until next week. ESEA doesn't allow out of week matches so they forfeited.

Ah-so

In light of the following post I rescind this Ah-so.
