--STA News Post


Match Date: 4/15/09
Round #1 Map: Sewer
Time: 9:30 PM EST (Default)

TITLE MATCH:
#1 mainLine gaming (mL) vs. #2 hubris (h.)




TreeFrog: Finals: mL vs hubris. Last time we saw mL take hubris easily. Will it happen again?
raccoon: what map is finals
TreeFrog: Sewer
raccoon: Sewer?
TreeFrog: same map as earlier in the season.
Deivid: no Dommafia + no Raccoon = no
Backdraft: mL has lost key members and hubris has a bag full of tricks
raccoon: I don't think Hubris will fall for the same first obj rush a second time like they were saying. holly always has a few tricks up his sleeve but hubris will put their try faces on and go over demos


TreeFrog: Who will play for mainLine in place of Dom & Raccoon?
Aristotle: Nehtor and animal most likely
Aristotle: animal is zefunkmaster
raccoon: I don't really feel confident about zefunk
raccoon: Nehtor is a good replacement for me as far as shooting goes
Aristotle: it's really him, me or roach, and nobody can fill Dom’s spot


TreeFrog: What really happened to Dom?
Aristotle: Real life issues.
Backdraft: Street Figher IV I hear
raccoon: Not Street Fighter IV, he had Mexican stuff to work out…so he claims
Deivid: He’s Dominican
TreeFrog: He's Dominican!
raccoon: He’s Mexican
raccoon: To me everyone is Mexican.
Backdraft: Some gangsta shit probably


TreeFrog: Who will fill his role of the mainLine hogger then?
Aristotle: Raptor is trying
Deivid: no one?
Backdraft: uh...not hooooooolly
Aristotle: Although he had a few fail moments last night, like when he rode up the railing of the bridge and got stuck.
Deivid: yea lol
Backdraft: hubris will probably own outside regardless.


TreeFrog: Let’s break the game down into two categories: Outside, who has the advantage?
raccoon: mainLine probably
Deivid: I say it’s even outside.
Backdraft: If they can keep SniperSteve down I’d say hubris.
Aristotle: mL in my opinion, L4nce is a beast


TreeFrog: mainLine's SniperSteve normally sits on up of the buildings with the obliterator. It is getting very predictable. Do you guys agree? Can it still be effective?
Backdraft: He still gets his 2-3 kills in the opening seconds
Deivid: Chump with Accurized Lacerator can take him easy.
Aristotle: Honestly though, I think we can expect Steve to be in his normal spots. They may be predictable but are generally still pretty effective. He's also pretty damn good at dodging fire.
Backdraft: I don't think hubris will bring any new strats to the table, least not at first.
raccoon: Everyone knows there is an Obliterator on the roof, there always is.


TreeFrog: Can theredbarron dodge sub6's Hog?
raccoon: can mL dodge theredbarron's rockets?
Deivid: he can
Aristotle: As long as they communicate I think he can.
raccoon: Bear can dodge anything and run over a teammate in the process
Aristotle: ^


TreeFrog: Inside, who has the advantage?
Deivid: Hubris inside
Aristotle: mainLine if they don't team kill each other and bitch about it on vent like they did last night. I could be wrong though.
raccoon: mainLine will have to make their grenades count.


TreeFrog: Who's has the better AR/Lac shots: mL or Hubris?
Backdraft: If mainLine can stay together, mainLine
Backdraft: If L4nce, SniperSteve, and Holly are backing each other up I mean
raccoon: Ras, Chump, and Prophett are the best h. shots.
raccoon: Raccoon, L4nce, and Dom for mL
Deivid: hubris


TreeFrog: How do you assess both teams’ semi-final's performance on Island?
Deivid: fuck Hubris
Backdraft: lol bias much
Aristotle: I only watched the first half of it, but to me it seemed like Hubris was a bit sloppy. Not playing as they normally do anyway.
Backdraft: mL did better thru their whole match against l1t.
raccoon: mL executed and worked together well. Hubris was surprisingly bad as far as shooting went, but One Shot didn't take advantage of kills.


TreeFrog: Quick answers, tell me what you think of when I say these words:

TreeFrog: theredbarron
raccoon: teamkill
theredbarron: great success
Backdraft: ringer
Deivid: titan
Aristotle: failbarron


TreeFrog: Rowdy
Deivid: cyclops
theredbarron: old
raccoon: worst player on h
Backdraft: get out of the titan please


TreeFrog: sub6
Deivid: hog
Aristotle: hogging
theredbarron: WOW
raccoon: wow


TreeFrog: raccoon
Aristotle: Backwards Hogging
Backdraft: extermin x2
Deivid: BMXer?
theredbarron: woodland creature
Aristotle: uh raccoon = hardup
raccoon: virus


TreeFrog: Not practicing for the finals.
theredbarron: hubris
raccoon: lies
Aristotle: mainLine
Backdraft: unwise...but probably what both teams will do
Aristotle: actually "care-face"


TreeFrog: Stacey's performance on ETTV?
Aristotle: TOO QUIET
theredbarron: ringing
raccoon: go to kitchen


TreeFrog: Quakecon?
Aristotle: win
theredbarron: win
Backdraft: trying to go
raccoon: hack irl
Deivid: need a visa
Backdraft: oh and wolf beta


TreeFrog: Final predictions? Give me a reason why you think one particular team will win.
theredbarron: mL 4-0
Aristotle: mL 4-0, would like to see 4-2
Deivid: hubris 4-2
Backdraft: 4-2 hubbies, Hubris has a hogger, mL doesn’t
Aristotle: L4nce, Raptor, and SniperSteve = win
Deivid: Raccoon + Dommafia
raccoon: mL because they have Aristotle
theredbarron: I don't see Hubris scrimming, Raptor will do fine in the hog.


TreeFrog: who do you guys want in the next interview?
Deivid: me
raccoon: me
theredbarron: not raccoon
Aristotle: St00p1d again, find out what the fuck happened to him.
raccoon: lol
theredbarron: Chump
Backdraft: Dom
raccoon: Shelly
TreeFrog: haha, you egoistic fuckers.
Aristotle: Stacey, GreasedScotsman needs to get to know her
Deivid: Nefilav and the whole XP drama
raccoon: Ask nefilav what it takes to be #1
theredbarron: not Stacey
Backdraft: Just pull some obscure pubber of the street
theredbarron: Hollywood?
TreeFrog: obscure pubber on the street! I like that one.


TreeFrog: Very nice, thank you guys for doing this. Last chance to say whatever you guys want for ET.TV!
theredbarron: cock shit balls fuck piss
Backdraft: Korean Starcraft II is next on the shoutcast list!
raccoon: Do you put FishStix in your mouth?
Deivid: Gl to both team, and please practice!





Even Kristen Bell gets excited for the Championship match!

must...
google...
Kristen Bell!

NIce write up frogmeister!

Nice write up, though the backwards hogging comment was about sub6 not raccoon :p

That was one of the cockiest interviews I've ever read. Both teams have great shooting skills and it should be a good match. GL to both teams.

win

Hubris 4-0. mL can't do it without Dommafia in the hog and Raccoon sniping. ZeFunkster doesn't have what it takes infantry wise to compete. Nehtor is good but doesn't play nearly as well with the team as other mL. Of course Hubris (mainly VtmN and Sub6) are rusty as hell, but not rusty enough to counterbalance Hubris' expert teamwork and strats, esp on Sewer.

lul, our teamwork blows ass on Sewer.

failstix

I blame it on raccoon.

Sorry for getting current/former mL guys in the interview. I just grabbed whomever was around at the moment, who was willing.

Sewer is our worst map, like I said on the post-game, which Virus heard, and then it was picked for finals...odd.

You know what else is odd...that an aimbotting hacker thinks a convicted cheater is the worst player on our team. I find that hilarious for some reason.

An interview with mL players is better than no interview at all, Froggie. Nice work.
