Open 5-Man
FAt the end of the weekend , it was Gridlock who took home the Gold . They eked out the win by the slimmest of margins , having won every one of their games with six flag hangs , and coming out two points ahead of the Saberwolves to take home the sought-after title of Classic Champions .
Open 5-Man
The five-man tournament was played as a standard multi-round playoff . With sixteen teams entered , nine would advance to a triple-bracket round robin semi-final , and then culminated in the traditional three-team round robin final .
Coming out of the prelims , Carolina Gridlock seemed to be the team to watch . In their first game , they fell to Lockout in a shutout match . Then they got spanked by acEvil Brown 98-4 . After that , however , they stood up and clobbered everyone placed in front of them , loding only five bodies through the rest of the early rounds and issuing a perfect game to the Toxic Teddys . This landed them a fortuitous spot in the Semis over a heavily favored Lockout . But this is where their ride would end .
Factory and acEvil Black , and then the acEvil Black showed its dominance over the Roadies to take the second finals spot . In the third bracket , Louisville Asylum bowled over Farside 96-8 in a stunner to earn their way into the final round .
The finals round was hotter than Orlando in August . acEvil Black would run a shutout on Asylum , leaving them headspun , and guaranteeing themselves the top spot on the podium . But then Brown would take a nail-biter win over Black as the acEvil squads went to time , and a narrow twobody win . Asylum then made a run at acEvil Brown . They managed to eliminate all ten players of the Brown squad , but a last-Brownie standing prevented a flag pull and the game went to time before Asylum would make a pull . This cost them second place .
So it would end with acEvil Black on top , Brown in second , and Asylum walking away with a bronze medal . .
The acEvil squads , Black and Brown respectively , were showing dominance over the rest of the field . Only Louisville Assylum seemed to be keeping up . And this played through into the Semis .
There , Lockout would skulltap the APE Guerillas with a quick 98-4 and then turn around to a hard-fought loss to acEvil Brown , giving the Brown squad a finals berth . Carolina Gridlock ’ s steam ran out and they were eviscerated by Roadies www . paintball . media
