2007-12-19 22:00:00 Four Kings vs EYEBALLERS

www.crossfire.nu Semi final match up between UK giant 4Kings and the Swedish EYEBALLERS who've yet to drop a map in the sixty four team tournament. 4Kings qualified by knocking out high flying Legendary 2:1 in the quarter finals, whereas EYE cruised past the Austrian GUMMI team.

EYE|Mint - Our last game against GUMMI was a great match. We had played them once before, but not on the maps of that day. We knew they were really good (not just from experience) and we took this match very serious. GUMMI got right into it after winning a thrilling knife battle and they went 9 to 3 up at half time on their pick mp_district on Marines. Things weren't looking too good, but we knew we were strong on defense so at half time it was a new game for us. The rounds started to go our way with GUMMI taking a few here and there, but after we started understanding how to set up against them we managed to get the score tied at 12-12 and we were really confident going into overtime. At this point I'd like to credit my team mates who have an amazing team spirit, they never let nerves get into play and they're always pushing each other. We won the first OT round and GUMMI won 2, then we picked up 3 straight rounds on defense and took home District. Over on Strike we were confident this was our game and after attacking with a score of 7 to 5 we felt this game was in the bag. Not taking anything away from GUMMI though, who were the best team we've met so far and not just in this tournament. On defense we only lost 3 rounds due to some bad calls and managed to win 13 to 8 (GG GUMMI). Against 4Kings it's a new story, but we will prepare the same way. I think it's going to be a great match and I think our team only got stronger from this match against GUMMI. If we can stick to our game plan it can be a really good game." 4K^corp - "The match against Legendary was satisfactory in our eyes, we were able to dominate the decider map and win the match overall. The next match will be the biggest match of the tournament so far and our biggest threat in this cup comes in the semifinals. We'll have to prepare well for this match, but it should be a pretty even match."
