RTCW: Final Time

After RTCW-Cup III finished the game was dieing out slowly again. So when I decided to organize a cup I was hoping to get together eight teams for a small tourney like a year ago. Two weeks later I was racking my brain about how to manage the 26 signups.

Needless to say the cup is and was a great success. Now, after about 50 matches, some amazing moments, many clutch plays and great kills it is finally coming to an end. Tomorrow at 21:30 the Grand Final between 118 and Chaos will be played.



Before the match I sat down with dictator and crumbs to for a short interview.


What does it take to beat 118?
Dictator: 118 have managed to keep a level of drive and motivation that is lacking in a stagnant RTCW community.
In order to beat them you need players who listen, understand the game tactically, have decent aim and excellent teamplay. For this season we brought in some players without much RTCW experience, which initially brought some new energy to the team. However, we haven't practiced at all since XMAS.

Do you think your team meets those requirements?
Dictator: I have faith in my team though OFC !


What needs to happen for you to lose a RTCW match?
Crumbs: Hmmm tough question, I think lack of scrimming has made use more vulnerable to losing, as in both the quarter and semi-final we could of actually lost.
Also lineup changes, since this is the first cup for 118 we havent had juncie so we've missed the combination of MerlinatoR grouping up opponents for juncie to panzer.We've also had to introduce new players, which although they have played well, I think it takes people a bit of time to get use to playing in a new style and in new positions.

How do you rate Chaos? Do you think they could cause as much trouble as KiH and No Pressure did?
Crumbs: I think Chaos are tactically better than both KiH and No Pressure, or at least they seemed to have looked at what we do and tried to counter it. While I think KiH rely more on their big revive pushes, and No Pressure on out aiming teams.
However although they have good individuals I don't think Chaos are as objective orientated as they should be on attack so i guess it depends what Chaos team turns up. A Chaotic one or one focused on winning :).
