fnatic are your champions for the CoD4 tournament here at CIC7 after winning in 3 maps against Reason gaming. It was a simply classic game, with Reason winning the 1st map and then fnatic taking the next 2.

As you can see it was an incredibly tight game that went all the way to the end. fnatic however, were your eventual winners of the tournament. I did an interview with Stevy that you can find in the Cadred version of this post.
But for now we will call it a day. fnatic are your champions of CIC7 and walk away with a massive cheque for €5,000. They gave us one of the best finals of all time, and I am sure the talk about it will go on for many a month after this.
We have a gallery with lots of great photos of the final coming your way very shortly so stay tuned.
ODYX - STEVY
= mans of match
good performance for that reason was not expected on the podium
gotta say though, was really impressed with Reason, they seemed to have a very controlled playstyle and duffeR was an absolute machine in those last few matches i saw :)
Keep doing like this Reason, and you will keep on top of every tournament :-]
reasons silly little mistakes cost them in the final rounds on strike and also no being able to close out many 4vs2, fanatic on the other hand were solid didnt really make mistakes and pulled it out the bag when needed.
TimD saved the day on crossfire though, If he woulnd't of killed the defuser one millisecond before he was killed it would most likely be a 2-0 game
Good working tim making it more tense :D
they played corgz, who beat dig
they played infinity, who knocked speedlink out and beat a few other good teams
so wasnt THAT much easier, just cos reason played dig n h2k in the PO's :D
[R] dUffER: we lost
[R] dUffER: did crap
[R] dUffER: should of won
my thoughts ;/ stevy is the best though any team he joins will be a top3 team
The whole reason Fnatic where in the final is all down to odyx amazing 4v1 clutch at 11-6 vs Hostile Faction. They were playing so off until that moment it just lifted the entire team from then on not dropping another round and then taking 2 quick maps vs Infinity Skills. For me by far the best play of the tournament despite some of the good aces we saw this time around.
In the finals D1ablo didn't really get going and Stevy had Soclon locked down on strike so much it took him out of the game for a large portion of the map. duffer went above and beyond literally carrying the team to rounds for a while but couldn't match the scope of Stevy for map control. Reasons nades were also not landing on Strike like they had in the group stage due to Linqan/odyx changing it up a little on A defence.
Good to see everyone, not sure if I will be doing any more events (getting old and like my home comforts!) that's not to say I will be stopping casting.
