What an intense final it was! The two giants of TF2 competing for the biggest prize pot in TF2’s history in front of a spectating crowd. The event was delayed quite a long time because of PC problems on the main stage, Bybben’s sound wasn’t working and one of the TCM guys had to bring his own PC over to the stage.

After all of the technical problems had been resolved, I felt the pressure was building up. The first round begun and both teams begun executing their strategies like they have done so many times before, only this time with Redeye commenting on their air-shots and mistakes.

The first round was truly epic, lasting around 15 minutes each team attacking the last and being pushed back many times. In the end 4 Kings took it in one really strong push after losing middle only moments before.

4 Kings really started heating up after that, and seemed almost unbeatable. TCM pushed them back to the second cap and even the last a few times over the course of the game, but the sheer skill and intelligence of play enabled them to benefit from even the stickiest of situations.

I exchanged a few words with Alex “TeoK” Shalit before the award ceremony:
