First map:
cor
This round started out relatively fast. Notty died quickly, and it was suddenly 4v1 in favor of PaP, just like that. After another 2 quick minutes, Chillingworth succumbed to the zombie horde. It was a nice, quick victory for PaP, and every PaP member survived longer than either Swag member.
Score: 1-0 | PaP |
Second map:
nobuild128
In what would become one of the most intense rounds in all of the tournament, nobuild128 started out with Dessern5 dying fairly early in the round, making it 3v2. Pokemon365 was the next to fall, dying in a corner overrun with zombies, making it 2v2 [Jackamel and Malacath v. Nottycat and Chillingworth]. Tense minutes passed. Finally, jackamel was caught and dragged to the ground, eaten by a zombie, making it 1v2 in favor of Team Swag. At this point, only 6 humans remained, and 3 of them were tournament players. Suddenly, in the span of a minute, 3 deaths occured, including Nottycat. Out of the bloodbath, 3 players emerged, including Chillingworth and Malacath. By this point, 3 humans remained with about 2 minutes left. It was 1v1, mano-al-mano between Malacath and Chillingworth. Out of nowhere, a zombie cut Malacath off and he was cornered. Malacath died, giving the win to Team Swag. Ironically, just seconds later, Chillingworth was killed by Pokemon365 to finish the round.
Score: 1-1 | Tie |
Third map:
capital
After forcing round 3, Team Swag knew it would have a hard time beating a team of 4 on a small hiding map. The first casualty didn't occur via zombie; pokemon365 had to leave, and by doing so he gave Team Swag a free leg-up. After this point, it was 3v2. Both teams lived like this until about 3 minutes were left in the round. In extremely quick succession,
3 tournament players died; Jackamel, Chillingworth, and Dessern5. And just like that, it was 1v1 between Malacath and Nottycat with 1 minute and 30 seconds remaining. Desperate to help his teammate, Chillingworth went searching for Malacath. With about 45 seconds left, he spotted him! Malacath was forced to get out of his hiding place ASAP. If he could outlive or survive alongside Nottycat [who was still in hiding], he could force a win or a tie. Chillingworth ran Malacath into a corner, who did an evasive move to force his way back out onto the street. However, a zombie flanked him, and spleefed the ground under him, allowing Malacath to be infected! The chat flooded with words, as the round finished up. Team Swag, a team of two players v. four, had come all the way back to win the round, and the match!
Score: 2-1 | Win for Team Swag |
With this win, Team Swag improved to 4-0, with an astonishing 12 points in total tournament play so far. They definitely look like the team to beat.
