Tournament XIV: Before and After the Final

By kllthdyrctr - 1st March 2010 - 20:08 PM

On the 22nd February, GameReplays.org's Company of Heroes Tournament XIV concluded. The Final was played out between 12azor and tournament underdog Seb087 (MonsieurX).

Fan favourite 12azor came into the Final having battled his way beyond Slay33 in Round 3, 4ES creator Marinez in Round 4, the underrated Guderian in Round 5 and, perhaps surprisingly, dark horse GosuStarcraft (Situation) in Round 6. Even by his own admission he was hardly at his skilful best in the run-up to the Final but his wealth of experience and strong temperament had allowed him to overcome the many opponents who sought to beat him.

Compared to 12azor, Seb087 had made far less fuss of reaching the Final. Flawless performances, all 2-0, in the previous 6 Rounds saw him defeat the highly ranked UsPostal (TOMITOMA) in Round 3, the phenomenon that is Morelloo in Round 4, Panzer Elite #1 Freestyler in Round 5 and Siddy in Round 6. Seb087 paled in comparison to 12azor, and players he had eliminated, on grounds of experience but his almost machine-like play up to this point promised much from one of the lesser expected Finalists.
