eSports SLTV ★ Finals - Match 4 & 5

[r_Damn_Slow0 12,476]

Tankers! We have our Super-finalists!

We’ve been holding our breaths for three long days, but we finally have the verdict.

As commentator keeps claiming, “All empires will one day fall”. And that day has come for three-times-champions Arcade, who have been cast out of the tournament by eGuards.

eGuards gained the upper hand early in the match, securing a strong 5:0 win in the first round. Arcade had their chance to reassess their strategy, but despite a valiant effort, nothing could save them from the mighty fortress.

eGuards finally managed to fell the current reigning Star Series champions.

You can watch the whole spectacular battle in the video below.

But eGuards had little time for celebration. With just 15mins of rest, they had to move on to face Angels & Demons — the very team who not only defeated them twice this season, but also forced them into the Loser bracket.

But A&D weren't “third time lucky”. With a spectacular boost of stamina, eGuards dominated the arena and brought their grudge on A&D, driving them to the ground and securing their well-deserved place in the grand final.

Watch eGuards claim snatch their victory in the video below.

So tomorrow, the grand final of Star Series season 4 awaits.

Having qualified directly into the super-final, ALL IN start with a 1 round advantage. But eGuards won’t let themselves be intimidated.

Both teams deserve the title, and you can rest assured they’ll spare no tricks in trying to claim it. There’s no telling who will win this one. But we’re sure you’ll be glued to your seat till the very last minute.

Don’t miss eGuards vs ALL IN the Super Final for Star Series season 4, tomorrow at 17:00 UTC on our eSports channel.

The thoughts of the players from each side

 

 

RanzeR (eGuards):The matches were very intense. The beginning seemed hopeless; we didn't really “feel” our game. We were worried for a while, and were trying to recall how we should play. The battle continues, the intensity grows, and the understanding of the game becomes stronger, which gave us the advantage in the battle. We were then able to keep our concentration in both matches, and in the end – victory! 

 

 

ChoodOFirE (eGuards): Both matches were difficult, With Arcade it was long because of all the lags, here we barely start winning, the fighting attitude of the opponents drops, and boom – the match is postponed to the next day. Coincidentally, there was time to once again get our thoughts together and plan our tactics and with new-found strength move headlong into the battle. But Arcade clearly did not use this opportunity, and we got the victory. With A&D it was also difficult, but our morale was very high after having beaten Arcade. A wonderful, productive conference, and excellent coordination and communication gave its result. We’ve beaten A&D and are in the final, where we will meet All-In. Be there – it will be epic ;)

 

 

Saint-Hov (Angels&Demons): First of all I want to thank everyone for their warm support. Thanks to the finalists for the amazing and equal game.
To be honest I'm quite disappointed with our result. The things that didn't let us play like before were the feelings we had after losing to All In, but on the other hand this was a motivation for us as well. Also eGuards' game against Arcade had already warmed them up and as you know there were no teams we could play with before the game. I wouldn't say something was missing and if we did that we'd win, but maybe if I played from home I'd be able to help A&D with my gameplay. We're disappointed from our season result as we could play better and get to the superfinal. We couldn't put the final step in both of the last two games we played!

 

 

Holy_Hero_alexxxxxx (Epic Guards Captain):

 

So,

 

Well, from the first match I can say that with everything that was going on, Arcade pulled it together and put up a good fight. It was very worrisome, although we had the clear score advantage. The game was played till the last seconds, and the 4^th flag in Forest, in essence, confirmed our score in the match.

 

It is only because of the absence of training that these guys get 4^th place. Honestly, notwithstanding everything that came before, I truly respect these guys. I truly doubt that there will be a team, in the near future, that will achieve all that Arcade has achieved since their appearance.  

 

The match versus A&D was a little more personal, as they were the ones who sent us into the Loser’s bracket, and that with a crushing score. Although everyone was saying that we can’t do anything any more etc., we were still able to achieve what we wanted – in a fair game, where no one lagged out and there were no problems with the internet connection, we defeated them, even though the guys put up an incredible fight and were closer than ever to the grand finale. I believe that 3^rd place for them – is a worthy achievement. Naturally, the ambitions of the team were toward the ultimate prize, but to say that the guys failed the season – that would be impossible.

 

In essence, our team is very excited and motivated for the final battle. It makes us happy that we will meet with our friends there – the guys from All In.  Nonetheless, however we end up playing tomorrow, I am already very proud to have been able to raise such a wonderful team. I am truly proud for all of my guys!

The thoughts and opinions of some famous eSportsmen

 

 

TRIatlets (LTU): (about Arcade vs eGuards)

eGuards were fighting hard to stay in finals after their shocking defeat to A&D. They didn't give up and they believed in themselves. I want to mention the first two Parma rounds where eGuards crushed Arcade with their spirit (especially in round 1). During the whole game itself Arcade wasn't playing surely and eGuards aggressively used their opponent's mistakes to gain advantage over them.
