Sunday, June 12th 9:00 pm EDT - dod_harrington - View Full TPG Schedule

We are down to the final four in both divisions. JgN has returned to provide his excellent insight, as well affording himself the chance to stroke his ego! they will be added to this thread. Again, looking for volunteers for the Finals predictions next week!

Upper:

(1) THUNDER vs. (5) team risK
Well, if you had asked us during week 2 or 3 who we would least prefer to play in a playoff match,we would have said risk. If you had asked us what map we would least prefer to play on, we would have said harrington. With that said, I’m hoping risk is firing on all cylinders on Sunday night and we can put on a show for the people in the hltv. The most important spot on the map is going to be the mountain side, big battle with cableguy vs ryanemo. + dorito vs vasily at long.

JgN’s pick: GLHF

risK seems ready to go now that the playoffs are here, with patten, cableguy, and vas being able to hang with pretty much anybody, as they proved with a 100 point win over dgf last week. THUNDER beat down GSR last week and still seem to be a lock to win it all this season. Patten definitely has the ability to hold down middle, but I think THUNDER’s deeper roster will be too much for risK to handle in this one.

Airnick’s pick: THUNDER by 120


Players to watch
THUNDER: ryanemo, JgN
risK: Patten, cableguy



(3) team 99 vs. (7) slow loris
Okay slow loris, one question...who do you guys think you are? We anally raped you a couple weeks ago (srsly, check the scores) we're then pretty sure we killed your team after kraut left the roster, then you suddenly reappear to kill the hopes of the masses by eliminating the second best team left in the game. Seriously though, I don’t think this match will be what people expect it to be. slow loris was the hottest team in DoD (next to those thunder guys) until well, they played those thunder guys. So I think that will carry over to this match, unless craig and 1 other team99er can have a big matchon axis half, slow loris should be okay to take this one.

JgN’s pick: slow loris by 99

Slow loris pulled off an upset that was supposedly aided by Jules missing about 10 minutes during one of the halfs last week, unfortunately for Winnfield that happens sometimes, and deprives us of the THUNDER/Winnfield Finals most expected to see all season. Slow loris is definitely not a pushover and it wouldn’t have been unreasonable to see them have won regardless of connection issues last week, as they have proven week by week to be a real threat in Upper despite a lack of experience as a team. Hildebrand and shogun (hate you!) can both definitely do damage on this map around the middle cap. 99 made this round after poizoned of dpK was banned for cheating against them in the Quarter Finals. No jokes from me about this yet as I have not watched the demo yet, but plan on doing so, especially after the thread that was created after the banning. 99 has some solid players like alpha, Bobson, and our DCN bench threat acetamino, so this should make for an entertaining match. I like 99 for taking long, but am not sure their middle team will be as successful dealing with slow loris’ mid team and support from ladder. And as this map goes, he who holds middle tends to be the winner.

Airnick’s pick: slow loris by 80


Players to watch
99: acetamino, Bobson
slow loris: hildebrand, shogun




Lower:

(2) 1080p vs. (3) Fatal Mistake
Ceebz. Watch his recoil, watch his omniscience. Watch him cut a turkeys head off. Just watch him, that cheating fuck.

JgN’s pick: 1080p by 169

1080p had a decent lower team to start off the season and skyrocketed to the top of Lower with the addition of Nugz, bromley, and ceebz after FLATout disbanded. They’ve had a fun time stomping pub clans in the last few weeks, and now they will be slightly more challenged, as I will predict right here that ceebz will NOT drop 75 against us. If this occurs, I will probably never play again after suffering a rage induced heart attack during the match. In the other corner, we have Fatal Mistake/SuaP, defending champions of Lower, with a bit of a different roster than last season. We are coming off 4 straight FF wins, but back to back losses prior to that (3 before conv1ct was banned for cheating against us in Week 10). Harrington is definitely not a favorite map of ours, but as I like to say, winners win. I’m expecting 1080p to have a lot of pressure on mountain/bridge side, which will force us to maintain a solid hold on mid as well as have our rifles pushing from long. This one should be close.

Airnick’s pick: GLHF


Players to watch
1080p: ceebz, ngz
fM: Expunge, skull



(5) Most Valuable Playerz vs. (8) Heavy Hitters
Okay, so I know all of MVPz, I don't know most of HH, but clearly they've made it this far so they must be pretty good. MVPz, led by all of my old favorite dod players from the golden age, should take this match. However, if a few guys on HH can put up big numbers and stop the beast known as Chuck D'Angelo (spellcheck!?) then they have a shot. Let's just hope Chuck doesn't treat HH like he treated Prostar the first time they met...

JgN’s pick: MVPz by 83

The battle of senior citizens vs. the underdogs, I like this one. The members of MVPz are rolling in here in their wheelchairs after beating KS last week, and I’m hoping my buddy Scotty gets to play this one so he can drop bombs. Jb and motive have rounded into playing shape again, but if hellfire is playing, have to ensure that his head is in the game as opposed to going on rants about how many people on the other team are cheating and how they aren’t good because they haven’t made money in the game. HH come into this match after upsetting the top seeded TeamLess, just a week after losing to them. HH has a bunch of solid players led by apple and khoi, who will look to do damage at long and middle respectively. Long should feature a good battle between apple and jb which should be a wash, and I think HH’s heavies have the slight edge. This one is going to come down to which middle team can cap and hold on the longest, but I think that HH’s heavy can support the middle enough to help them lock it down. I like HH in this one, just barely.

Airnick’s pick: HH by 30


Players to watch
MVPz: jb, motive
HH: khoi, apple




SA:

(1) wild ineters vs. (2) dreamWorks
I am very familiar with both of these teams, mostly due to each of them beating us once this season, although wildI had an unfortunate rate situation in our DCN match leading to an overturn. With that said, there are some serious Jesuses on both squads and dW brings it hard on harrington. wildI is going to need a HUGE performance in middle from deluxe and hutch up against rodz. rodz is king. rodz is god. rodz will make you feel like you haven't ever played this 11 year old game before, and rodz will do it all while stossing middle like a champ. However, wildI has been practicing quite a bit and I believe that lead to this match coming right down to the wire.

JgN's pick: wi by 10

Despite the South America ladder going totally downhill in regards to its number of teams, the current best teams from each country still endured through the season. Due to lack of teams, dod_harrington is going to host this final clash. I'd bet my money that both teams will likely alternate control of mid during their halves as Allieswill try to hold mountain house and long as much as possible during Axis. Well, glhf.

cAss' pick: GLHF (Winning team by 100-150)

Here are interviews with a member from each Upper team playing in the Semi Finals, conducted by Alex “soma” Kirk.

(1) THUNDER vs. (5) team risK

Alex: Let's get the basics out of the way: briefly introduce yourself and give us some insight into your DoD history.

JaGGoN: My name is Corey James Marko, the JaGGoNaToR. I’ve played dod for about 7 years now and have the most LAN wins that any other player in the HISTORY of DoD.

Alex: How would you say this season has gone for you? Assuming you stay together, how do you intend to improve for next season?

JaGGoN: This season has been going very well. We are starting to come into our own as far as team work and chemistry. I am considering leaving after this season to help out another team. I feel that with just my presence I can turn any Upper team into a contender. As far as the rest of the team I don’t care what they do.

Alex: Coming off your last win, how are you feeling about risK? Who are you most afraid of on risK? Who do you think is the shittiest player on the other team? And how do you plan to exploit that?

JaGGoN: First of all I am not afraid of anyone who plays this game. risK does has some decent players in patten, fenton, cheng, but brian "trackpants" is beyond washed up and useless. If they were to have a lineup consisting of patten, fenton, rubel, ham, cheng, and SAIDER I would expect a great close match. Yes, saider. The shittiest player is definitely winto. We don’t even have to exploit him. It’s like having 7 players when playing against him.

Alex: How are you feeling about playing risK on this map? Would you like to see this match-up go down on a different map?

JaGGoN: Yes, this is quite possibly our worst map. Any map other than this would be better.

Alex: Give us a brief synopsis of what you expect this match to look like - long, middle, and mountain house.

JaGGoN: Long will be a roll over fest as the 2 best rifles in DoD, dorito and tox cheat their way across long and throw perfect nades. Middle will be very 1 sided as pat will be lagged out in spawn and I will be going mid alone and going 4-16 or so. Mountain will feature ryanemo cheating and attempting to carry riv to some semblance of a victory over the obese cableguy.

Alex: Pat would like to know your penis size. Erect.

JaGGoN: They call me the human kickstand, 9.5 inches.

Alex: Bette Midler, Amy Winehouse and James Van Der Beek - you've got to fuck one, marry one, kill one. Go.

JaGGoN: I’d fuck Bette Midler, kill Amy Winehouse, and luckily I live in NY so I’d marry James Van Der Beek.

Alex: How many times have you fallen in love with "the one?" Based on Facebook statuses estimates are as high as 7 times in the last 4 weeks. What's your estimate?

JaGGoN: So this is me swallowing my pride, standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night and I'd go back to December all the time. It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you. Wishing that I'd realized what I had when you were mine. I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right and I go back to December all the time.

Alex: Thanks for the interview! Any shout-outs or last words for the 6 people that will read this?

JaGGoN: Shotouts to my feet, thunder, winnfield, and dW rodz.





Alex: Let's get the basics out of the way: briefly introduce yourself and give us some insight into your DoD history.

Ivan: Ivan "vasily" Cheng. Started out as a pubber in [DSSG] for a while until recruited me for CAL. Played with them for a long time until I joined veracity/Enervate/terr0r1z3d/MugNMouse. Won a few titles and then joined TAP for the WSVG and KY lan. Now I'm just a washedup kid getting carried by cableguy and npatten.

Alex: How would you say this season has gone for you? Assuming you stay together, how do you intend to improve for next season?

Ivan: Season's gone alright. After taking a few years off, our chemistry is still there but only a sliver of what it used to be. I think for the most part, our skill is intact but our consistency is somewhat volatile. Personally, I can have a game where I shit all over teams and drop 40+...but is that in kills or deaths, haha. Hopefully we don't get bored and stay together. If we do continue, I think we might pick up one or two unless a few of our backups become more active.

Alex: Coming off your last win, how are you feeling about thunder? Who are you most afraid of on thunder? Who do you think is the shittiest player on the other team? And how do you plan to exploit that?

Ivan: Thunder obviously has the best players. However, I think their chemistry is what limits them. When you put 5/6 fragwhores on a team, they're just gonna drop bombs and annihilate most other teams. But if you put them faced with another pretty good team, they may stumble. Who knows what'll happen! I'll probably eat my words as we get capped out 10x. I'm most afraid of toxinator; he's the most consistent player and he definitely knows his strategic spots. I wouldn't say anyone on their team is "shitty", but chimpanzebra probably has a tough time getting kills with dorito, riv, etc on the flanks. And we have nick patten, who probably is the best sniper still playing. So hopefully nick doesn't choke and we can dominate middle.

Alex: How are you feeling about playing Thunder on this map? Would you like to see this match-up go down on a different map?

Ivan: Apparently this is their weak map, but I call bullshit on that. There will probably be a lot of sick shots and crazy battles in all 3 routes. Personally, Harrington is one of my favourite maps so it's going to be fun regardless of the outcome. If I were to pick another map to play them on, it would probably be anzio.

Alex: Give us a brief synopsis of what you expect this match to look like - long, middle, and mountain house.

Ivan: Ryan and Kellen mountain vs. Jordan and Alex; Chimpanzebra and Corey vs. Nick and Wint0; Bryan and Jared vs. Chris and myself. But don't count on that...our team tends to pick routes 5 minutes before the match. If you're watching this match, watch the heavies. If it's Alex and Jordan vs. Ryan and Kellen....that'll be a battle of the 4 best heavies in the game.

Alex: Pat would like to know your penis size. Erect.

Ivan: 3 inches - the same as the amount of kills I'll have on Sunday.

Alex: Bette Midler, Amy Winehouse and James Van Der Beek - you've got to fuck one, marry one, kill one. Go.

Ivan: Fuck you.

Alex: Have to do it.

Ivan: They're all white, are you racist?

Alex: YOUR FANS WANT TO KNOW, IVAN. ANSWER THE FUCKING QUESTION.

Ivan: Fuck Amy, marry James, kill Bette, and then jump off a bridge. Fuck you for asking that.

Alex: umad. How does it feel to have gotten away with cheating as long as toxinator? Also, tox wants to know how dog tastes.

Ivan: Wtf is this? HAHA. A) Watch my movie, blatant cheats. Community is full of idiots who think I don't cheat. B) Tox is a ginger, so he doesn't get an opinion/answer/respect/fuckyoutox.

Alex: Thanks for the interview! Any shout-outs or last words for the 6 people that will read this?

Ivan: Shoutout to alex kirk. Thanks for wasting my time. Want rifle lessons? Msg me, $40 an hour. #subwaydod

Alex: I find your lack of xmvc shout-out disturbing.

Ivan: Fine, #checkmate

Alex: Don't "fine" me - you were in the fucking movie.

Ivan: ONLY FOR LIKE 1 CLIP. IF YOU REMOVED THE BADS AND ADDED THE GOODS, IT WOULD BE A MOVIE OF ME AND YOU TOGETHER.





(3) team 99 vs. (7) slow loris

Alex: Let's get the basics out of the way: briefly introduce yourself and give us some insight into your DoD history.

Leroy: My name is Andy Sheen, I played CAL O in 2005 and became the best player in 2 months. I created SoV in the summer of 2004 or 5 and picked up kirk on the fraghard recruitment forums and he now ignores me.

Alex: How would you say this season has gone for you? Assuming you stay together, how do you intend to improve for next season?

Leroy: This season has been gone terribly, mostly because none of us want to play and Kevin “nopantsnofun” Gardner forces us to play on Sundays. We can’t improve.

Alex: Coming off your last win, how are you feeling about slow loris? Who are you most afraid of on slow loris? Who do you think is the shittiest player on the other team? And how do you plan to exploit that?

Leroy: I feel pretty good, since I wasn't trying at all and we still managed to win. slow loris raped your team so this should be an easy win for us. I don't know who is on slow loris so I'm guessing they're shitties, all shitties.

Alex: How are you feeling about playing slow loris on this map? Would you like to see this match-up go down on a different map?

Leroy: What map is it? Craig has informed me it’s Harrington, so I should drop 50s both halves on this map. The rest of our team sucks on harrington though, so I would have preferred to play on rr2.

Alex: Give us a brief synopsis of what you expect this match to look like - long, middle, and mountain house.

Leroy: stealth is most likely going to whine constantly at mid saying they're sending their whole team mid, and why aren't capping everything else (INTERRUPTION FROM AIRNICK: THIS SOUNDS JUST LIKE ME, I FEEL YOUR PAIN STEALTH). Mountain house should be fine on our end of course, jackson will go where ever the fuck he wants to go and leave bobson at the mercy of two shitties I don't know.

Alex: As the resident grumpy player, who do you hate the most in this community? If you were in a locked room with that person, any "tools" at your disposal, what might you do to him?

Leroy: ITSAFUCKINGMARIO oh my fucking god, WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY? I'd have to cut off his tongue because that kid’s voice is so fucking annoying. We can all thank dpk for itsamario as well.

Alex: As a citizen of Ecuador, what sort of discrimination have you experienced living in America?

Leroy: For some reason everyone fucking hates the fact I say as well in sentences instead of too. Other than that I have had no problems and love living in this land of opportunity and freedom.

Alex: For the record, I almost quit your shitty pubclan in 2004 when I heard your voice in Vent. Almost joined Jolly Jews after that deal-breaker.

Leroy: Wtf? Everyone loves my voice.

Alex: How come the Incredible Hulk's pants never ripped?

Leroy: Dean said he has a small wiener, so I’m going with that response.

Alex: Thanks for the interview! Any shout-outs or last words for the 6 people that will read this?

Leroy: I hate everyone in this fucking game.





Alex: Let's get the basics out of the way: briefly introduce yourself and give us some insight into your DoD history.

Carlos: I'm kraut. I've been playing competitive DoD for about six days now. In those six days I've managed to lead quite a few mediocre teams to early playoff eliminations, likely due to the fact that I lack what it takes to be a pro gamer like Pat C. Oh, and my favorite DoD player is andrew olsen.

Alex: How would you say this season has gone for you? Assuming you stay together, how do you intend to improve for next season?

Carlos: I threw this team together in like two days out of DoD friends I've been playing with for years (with a few exceptions). Our half season in TPG has been pretty fun, didn't expect to be playing past week 8 (which is why I'm not on the roster), but Ben rallied us together with his charisma and good looks to show up for quarter finals. Also, there's no way in hell I'll be playing another season.

Alex: Coming off your last win, how are you feeling about team 99? Who are you most afraid of on team 99? Who do you think is the shittiest player on the other team? And how do you plan to exploit that?

Carlos: I have no idea who starts for 99, I haven't played a match or scrim against those guys since like 2009. I'm going to guess they'll have Linus starting (the guy with 3000 ping who sounds like the evil robot from A Space Oddysey). Andy Sheen, who in my mind will never be forgotten as an MGing wallhacking little bitch (<3). And leroy, jackson and some other dudes (maybe joe ledmunds?). I don't really think they have a worst player, I'd say their best player is cooLwhip though.

Alex: How are you feeling about playing team 99 on this map? Would you like to see this match-up go down on a different map?

Carlos: I’d rather play Lennon again.

Alex: Give us a brief synopsis of what you expect this match to look like - long, middle, and mountain house.

Carlos: Well we're going to be sending 2 rifles long, a rifle and a sniper mid, and 2 heavies to mountain. We know it's risky and unorthodox, but we're going to hope for the best.

Alex: Being an alleged fan of good music, let's see that top 5 list of yours.

Carlos: Currently (in no order): beach house, bon iver, the antlers, LCD soundsystem, beck. All time: radiohead, matthew good, the beatles,the strokes, arcade fire

Alex: Who are the top 5 people you want to punch in the face? Preferably still living, but dead if you REALLY feel it necessary.

Carlos: There's only one, Bill O'Reilly

Alex: Would you just want to punch him 5 times then?

Carlos: At least.

Alex: Bette Midler, Amy Winehouse and James Van Der Beek - you've got to fuck one, marry one, kill one. Go.

Carlos: fuck Bette, marry James, and kill Amy Winehouse

Alex: Thanks for the interview! Any shout-outs or last words for the 6 people that will read this?

Carlos: Not one remotely important person comes to mind.







Here are interviews with members from each Lower team playing in the Semi Finals, conducted by myself, with help from Kirk, who interviewed me.

(2) 1080p vs. (3) Fatal Mistake

Airnick15: Let's get the basics out of the way: briefly introduce yourself and give us some insight into your DoD history.

Skinnto: Started out with *s/A* Shock & Awe Back in Winter of 2003. We did Cal-O a couple times and finally made it to main. Then played with a bunch of different teams thought the years until now. Played Heavy most of the time but have been sniping for the last couple years. Teams: [sAs], TB, RS|, [^p], DeT.LaG, Bovice,|B.A.M|, 1080p.

defiance: defiance: !!!D-DAY {D.D} !!!!, Thirty Aught Six aka Trademark Main, Bad Ass Mother Fuckers and 1080p.

Airnick15: How would you say this season has gone for you? Assuming you stay together, how do you intend to improve for next season?

Skinnto: We played VMF for preseason and barely squeaked out a win. Then we had this scrim where heineken dropped 80 in a half and we did have a certain ringer...And well heineken got a whole bunch of packets during our match that week...and we lost by alot!

defiance: This season has had its up and downs. We started the season as BAM the avalanche pub clan, but that didn't work out so well. Me, skinnto, and heine had the urge to scrim more and play better so we had to get some other people to keep up with us. Obviously did in nugz, bromley, and eventually ceebz. We have gotten better every day. Next season, ceebz is leaving us, so obviously we won't be as good, but likwid will take his spot and defiance will move back to heavy. If we practice we can compete with a lot of teams and improve without him.

Airnick15: Coming off your last win, how are you feeling about fM? Who are you most afraid of on fM? Who do you think is the shittiest player on the other team? And how do you plan to exploit that?

Defiance: Our last match was on harrington in DCN vs. Keyboard cap. Not going to lie, this was one of the most exciting matches i've played. We were down big (150+) after the first half, but somehow in the 2nd half we capped out 3 times in the last 6 minutes to get the win and it gave us a lot of confidence. Our most feared players on fM are Airnick and whoever is going middle with him. Skinnto and I are the weakest link of our team and we will be going up against you guys.

Airnick15: How are you feeling about playing us on this map? Would you like to see this match-up go down on a different map?

Skinnto: Scrimming our good friends from Brazil has helped us get better on this map but we would prefer another one.

Defiance: This is our worst map as a team. Our team work sucks on it, and we definitely wish it was on rr2 or something.

Airnick15: Give us a brief synopsis of what you expect this match to look like - long, middle, and mountain house.

defiance: I expect it to be a close match. Ceebz will dominate mountain. Airnick will shoot me and skinnto in the face, while long should be even. It will come down to a battle of flanking and teamwork.

Airnick15: Over/under 50 for ceebz each half?

Skinnto: Axis: Under. Allies: Over.

defiance: Definitely under, 40s both halves.

Airnick15: How did you guys end up adding half of FLATout after they disbanded earlier this season?

defiance: Defiance: Nugz messaged me after flatout died and asked if him and Bromley could join. We accepted since we had just lost Diso to WoW. Two matches later, ceebz wanted to join. After scrimming AGAINST him every day for like 2 weeks, we gladly said yes just to put an end to that.

Airnick15: How entertaining have all the ceebz hackusations been on 1911?

Skinnto: When you’re playing DoD...someone is always called a cheater. I called him a cheater when we played against him 3+ times a week. You want him on your team! He has only been disputed once with us....he only played half the match! (65-15)

defiance: I've never had any cheaters on any my teams, so i really don't like them and kinda take them seriously. But it’s whatever, if he cheated or does cheat, he would have been caught by now.

Airnick15: Thanks for the interview! Any shout-outs or last words?

Skinnto: Thanks for the interview Nick, hope it makes into the 1911 vault! nugz said eat a box of dick. From nugz: “likwid play defensive on long” likwid: "I was in Trademark dammit!"!Disputed! Nugz, Ceebz & Proning Defiance
"Watch in 1080 HD and keep an open mind." -Kodiac





Alex: Let's get the basics out of the way: briefly introduce yourself and give us some insight into your DoD history.

Airnick15: I started pubbing back in April 2002, started playing in BFE in January 2003 (BFE was the shit, screw the haters), and started playing competitively in April 2003 first with KSP-X, but then joining Vp. We had a few of BFE's better players all join at one time (Netherhell, Solitaire, and myself) and played in all the secondary leagues back then like STA/OGL. We played CAL for a team called rts, led by Op who later joined mts, but all pretty much got cut after a playoff loss. We formed SuaD (named by Op) immediately after that, and went on to win CAL O during our undefeated season. We split up after that as Nether and I joined ronin, but I was then benched when they added maingoes (Who would make such a bad choice?) so I ended up going back to Vp for fun (getting TPG banned and unbanned for cheating, in the process, gg to all the idiots who called cheats because someone in Vp wasn't a pubscrub). After Vp recruited some better players, we eventually went on to win CAL O and IM in back to back seasons, but lost interest when we were going to play Main, and disbanded. I played with your team for a little bit after that as you recall, and thought I was never going to play again so ended my last match with the memorable, "He's in lower Suze, trust me I'm cheating" quote. Bad choice there. A bunch of old Vp/BFE people got back together last fall and won TPG Lower last season, then lost some players and stayed in Lower, and here we are. Sorry for the essay, but I had to share such a memorable career.

Alex: How would you say this season has gone for you? Assuming you stay together, how do you intend to improve for next season?

Airnick15: I would say it has been kinda rocky, as at one point we had lost three straight. We have had some issues with people showing up as well chemistry issues, which we have tried to work on by scrimming a little more often now that playoffs are here. We expect to be moved up next season so we will be looking for a starting heavy as long as everyone else returns.

Alex: Coming off your last win, how are you feeling about team 1080p? Who are you most afraid of on team 1080p? Who do you think is the shittiest player on the other team? And how do you plan to exploit that?

Airnick15: I'm not looking forward to playing 1080p on this map because this isn't a good one for us. We often find ourselves having issues with ladder pressure from the other team's heavies, which makes mid not so fun for Expunge and myself. We really lucked out on this one, as we are facing ceebz...who will be heavying ladder! 1080p isn't really filled with any baddies, so we will just have to step up and outplay them if we want to win. I am fully prepared to get my Netherhell on and camp like a boss.

Alex: How are you feeling about playing 1080p on this map? Would you like to see this match-up go down on a different map?

Airnick15: As I said, we don't have much love for harrington. I would prefer anzio/rr2.

Alex: Give us a brief synopsis of what you expect this match to look like - long, middle, and mountain house.

Airnick15: I expect mountain house/bridge to be an advantage for them, so it we must be able to control mid and long to try to balance that. If we are able to have pressure on their spawn from long, then it makes it easier to pay attention to their heavies trying to sneak us at the middle from ladder.

Alex: Bette Midler, Amy Winehouse and James Van Der Beek - you've got to fuck one, marry one, kill one. Go.

Airnick15: I would fuck Dawson because he is a hottie, kill Bette because I find her annoying, and marry Amy because she is not a favorite to live for 5 more years, so I wouldn't suffer too much.

Alex: If Stamp and skulladin were to play 1v1 on harrington long, what would that showdown look like?

Airnick15: Alright, since this is the playoffs and I am looking to motivate my teammates as opposed to beat them down, I will say that skull would decimate Stamp. Skull, stop reading at this point...If I was being truthful, Stamp would make skull squeal like a piggy, bend him over, and fuck him until the round ends.

Alex: Favorite ice cream flavor that you'd get in an ice cream shop?

Airnick15: Cookies and cream ftw, gotta be Oreo cookies too.

Alex: Thanks for the interview! Any shout-outs or last words for the 6 people that will read this?

Airnick15: Holla holla holla, lemme holla at ya bitch to my dogs on fM/SuaP, and Blake Lennon, who we miss greatly but will not take back when he returns because I am too greedy to give the sniper back.





(5) MVPz vs. (8) Heavy Hitters

Airnick15: Let's get the basics out of the way: briefly introduce yourself and give us some insight into your DoD history.

Narc: My dod history goes back to the beta days. Started as pubber, joined a few teams (RCC,CosaNostra, Made a few teams (85th and mvpz), and became and admin for a few leagues (CAL,UGL,TPG,DCN).

Airnick15: How would you say this season has gone for you? Assuming you stay together, how do you intend to improve for next season?

Narc: This season in tpg I feel we did good. There were a few matches that I think we really should've won but didn't. At the start of the season I was not sure what our roster was going to be. Having to start over completely I am very happy with the old washed up guys we have.

Airnick15: Coming off your last win, how are you feeling about HH? Who are you most afraid of on HH? Who do you think is the shittiest player on the other team? And how do you plan to exploit that?

Narc: Well HH just beat teamless, the #1 team in lower. Jb isn't scared of anyone on HH so I think we have a chance. I do see khoi on the roster that’s always a threat, and I honestly don’t know anyone else on the team.

Airnick15: How are you feeling about playing HH on this map? Would you like to see this match-up go down on a different map?

Narc: Playing HH on dod_harrington I feel pretty good about, it’s a decent map and we have a super strat so we have a good chance on getting a win. They did beat the #1 seed so we can underestimate them either, should be a good match up.

Airnick15: Give us a brief synopsis of what you expect this match to look like - long, middle, and mountain house.

Narc: Jb proned at long, Rwc Tk's Jb, Motive will be sipping koolaid in mid house, and myself will be will spraying full clips mountain. The rest of the roster I have no idea who will show up and play.

Airnick15: Getting away from the playoffs for a second, how do you feel that DCN is going so far?

Narc: I think DCN is going good for being a new league, Alot of teams joined and played. As the Head Admin for DCN I am happy with the turnout. I will say that the DCN website is horrid, and it could be the subject if DCN does not return for a second season.

Airnick15: What is the likelihood that your roster stays intact with so many guys near nursing home age?

Narc: With the breakthroughs of science I don’t see any of us kicking the bucket yet. I require a prostate exam before every match performed by our health care expert RWC. Jb and schmiggs are always fighting for who goes first. As a whole we are healthy so expect us to show with our depends pulled up and ready to play

Airnick15: Thanks for the interview! Any shout-outs or last words?

Narc: Just want to say Thanks to my team, for showing up, dealing with each other, and getting into the playoffs. Daddy is proud of you!





Airnick15: Let's get the basics out of the way: briefly introduce yourself and give us some insight into your DoD history.

m0nsterr: Wow an interview? When's the last time one of these was done? Lol, my real name is Marc, I go under the alias m0nsterr and have stuck with that alias for awhile, if I gave you some of my older ones it would probably take up a few pages. I truly got my start in DOD when it became 1.3 with a pub clan called -=S2K=-, some might remember their upper CAL team called seclusion from WAY back. Then eventually I progressed and played with teams such as SAS, K@R, FGM, G4N(briefly), Profound (Cal-o IN the bag SHOUT OUTS TO MILO!) and so on.

Airnick15: How would you say this season has gone for you? Assuming you stay together, how do you intend to improve for next season?

m0nsterr: This season for me personally has been rocky, like most DOD players real life matters take first2 priority before video games so I naturally just show up for match time like everyone else on my team lol. As far as staying together, as a team we will most likely be around for awhile before the game finally kicks the bucket for real. It seems more teams have started to take interest into scrimming again so we plan on getting more involved as well to improve ourselves, we will be adding some new players as well as making changes to our roster.

Airnick15: Coming off your last win, how are you feeling about MVPz? Who are you most afraid of on MVPz? Who do you think is the shittiest player on the other team? And how do you plan to exploit that?

m0nsterr: Coming off from our last win though against teamLess I feel very confident and it should be a good match against MVPZ. They have some old school players on their team, but I’m not "afraid" of any of them really. Recognizing a few players from their team, Hellfire (if that's the real hellfire) from what I know of him has a history with the game and Motive obviously hasn't gotten too washed up it seems from the last couple 12 mans I had played against him in. I enjoy playing with and against those two guys so it should be fun and I hope they play.

Airnick15: How are you feeling about playing MVPz on this map? Would you like to see this match-up go down on a different map?

m0nsterr: Should be fun, I personally would like to play on marijuana map and wall with a tommy/unter but hey we can’t all get what we want.

Airnick15: Give us a brief synopsis of what you expect this match to look like - long, middle, and mountain house.

m0nsterr: I don’t know who MVPZ is gonna start cause I see a few players who I remember from back in the day. MVPZ has a pretty good roster of people so whoever they may choose to start I’m sure we have someone to put them against to make it a good match up. Anything could really happen in this match so I’m looking forward to it.

Airnick15: How did you guys manage to upset the top seeded TeamLess squad?

m0nsterr: Last week was a good week for us. I didn't play that week unfortunately, but from what I heard it was looking bad for us in the beginning. teamLess had capped out on us fairly quick off initial, but we managed to get it together and pull ahead with a win. We did hear through the grapevine that teamLess was the team to beat and when they had beaten us the first time we wanted to step it up for lennon_b2.

Airnick15: Assuming you win, who would you like to face in the Finals?

m0nsterr: Assuming we win, I’d have to say 1080p, but it seems FM will get a shot at them first.

Airnick15: Plans for DCN and thoughts about what TPG division you will be in next season?

m0nsterr: DCN is a possibility for us, we're in the process of building a roster for it. TPG we will be playing of course, hopefully in upper cause aside from the teams we know who actually can put up a fight in lower, playing pub teams and destroying them isnt really a goal of ours. Hopefully we will see those teams in lower next season and maybe a few others just to keep this game alive a little bit longer.

Airnick15: Thanks for the interview! Any shout-outs or last words?

m0nsterr: Thanks for having me!

Airnick15 wrote: JaGGoN: First of all I am not afraid of anyone who plays this game. risK does has some decent players in patten, fenton, cheng, but brian "trackpants" is beyond washed up and useless. If they were to have a lineup consisting of patten, fenton, rubel, ham, cheng, and SAIDER I would expect a great close match. Yes, saider. The shittiest player is definitely winto. We don’t even have to exploit him. It’s like having 7 players when playing against him.

Truer words have never been spoken.

Really? This is what you guys told people? Even though we played down a man pretty much all game with shogun's own connection issues. By the time jules left we assumed he had just raged. But whatever, you've let me down, Alex.

Uh oh are my sources making me look bad? I am not pleased.

Haha narcy you so funny! We really need some kinda dod retirement fund setup soon. I appreciate you giving away my secret prone spots at long! Oh and gj airnick on interviews!

No. I never said jules dropping was THE reason we lost. THE reason we lost, in my opinion, is because we weren't prepared for you. The guys had not played for a week and went into that match with a different strat/different routes. However, had jules not dropped for 10 minutes, you guys would have been up by ~30. But you were on allied side, so it wasn't exactly likely we would have won.

Shogun's connection issues aren't really comparable. The cumulative time of him being absent from the server was maybe a minute. He reconnected immediately upon each dropout. Jules was gone for 10 minutes straight.

I'm not even KTE'ing! I believe that you guys would have beat us regardless of jules dropping for 10 minutes. Our entire team acknowledges that the main reason we lost has more to do with lack of preparation. I don't know why you're calling me out.

nerds

It appears that Leroy was the best AND worst person you could have interviewed on the entire team. His answers did prove to make it a good read. Also, the Jolly Jews thing made me laugh out loud a little too hard. Good ol' Jolly Jews.

As a side note - I only say that we cannot get middle when they send 5 people and you still can't push mountain!

THINGS ARE HEATING UP

Thread updated to include the wisdom of Corey Marko.

Regardless of your true reasoning, my musical love, it just seemed translated into a KTE in Airnick's preds. Also, shogun's lag outs cost us a ninja cap and about 4-5 caps on well (it did more damage than you would think! ).

There wasn't really much to prepare for against us either, our team was dead until a few hours before match time when we decided to show. Provided you guys are the better team imo, I would attribute your loss to you guys simply playing like shit.

deep down inside those hollow legs I always thought we had a connection. Now I just don't know.

By the way props to the genius admin that makes people play matches on July 4 weekend

And yes I am whining because we have to use a really bad washed up scrub in the playoffs because we didn't get a week off.

Airnick15 wrote:And yes I am whining because we have to use a really bad washed up scrub in the playoffs because we didn't get a week off.

ceebz isn't playing either. apparently he is still 12 and likes to go see fireworks with his 4 year old girlfriend.

Weak!

Upper
THUNDER < team risK - Upset alert, simply for the hate of Winto "traxpants" Mcgee over there. Also, it would make it more interesting.
team 99 < slow loris - sure, i don't know. Are they the ones with the o/ tag thing? Creative! They win.

Lower
1080p >Fatal Mistake - cheezby will drop 75 as usual. Then go onto play cs for 8 hours afterwards.
MVPz = HH - GLHF

Also, It's sunday morning and i actually read the interviews, alot of you have turrible attitude towards this game that we still play. Such hate towards it, yet here we are in the playoffs of another season.

And i haven't played a TPG match all season , and i'm doing a 5k thingy for st judes & fireworks on the river! HAPPY AMERICA DAY

you know i love you brian! let's just say, jared may have been wearing my skin the day of this interview

I feel like we've already talked about this on Steam.

Can you play on the 5th, then? How about the 6th? It looks like 1080p might be willing to reschedule too. Why not use the match comm and ask them instead of posting here?

carlos gave a cute interview, kind of glad he's not playing, maybe we have a chance

Well that doesn't look like an x face at all.

That's the face you'll be making when you dump all over them.

With a world class 57 man drop in last half jaggon's pick for best player in all dimensions secured our last second win cap!

Me too man Me too

Just watched the HLTV with hellfire calling out people for subpar play and saying people couldn't have won in CAL O...wtf are you talking about? And I'm sure you will PM me now on Steam asking why I'm mean, but you are a unique combo of batshit crazy/egomaniacal.

guess i should get around to watching my awfulness and see the witty comments as well.

yay anzio next!

no minimap in those ss's...dispute ceebz for bad ss's!!!

Anyone know when our match is?

I hope hellfire watches the finals match so i can read more of his awful commentary.

"<h e l l f i r e> these guys wouldn't even have had wins in CAL O back in the day"

pretty sure 90% of the people playing in that played cal-m or I.
