YYT.Royal X vs dignitas

Tonight's CoD4 tournament final just took place with 2 of the best teams in Europe fighting it out for 600 Euro's worth of prize money. If you missed my pre-game report find the link located on the front page.
Dignitas 360 unfortunately couldn't field a full strength team and instead borrowed two Team Cooler-Master players: Gunshy and TCM Rumsey.

Match Report:

S+D Strike: Royal X 8 - 5 dignitas

Sabo 1st Half: dignitas 2 - 0 Royal X

Domo Crash: Royal X win by 70+

Royal X win match, tournament and 400 Euro prize money 2-0!

We spoke to U4EA briefly after the game:
Was a relatively short final compared to the usual 3 hour battles we've had in the past. Sadly our lack of preparation showed when Royal X put the game up to us and they stormed us on the Domination which we couldn't reply to. The better team won today so congrats to Royal X on their first big tourney win, shows how any team willing to win can.


Instead of just a quote for the winners, I sat down with the entire Royal X team to find out how they felt about winning!


CSL: Congratulations guys, you have just won the CSL final, beating a mix-dignitas team. How does it feel?

Bissell: Feels great, a great win for us as a team and I feel we played very well seeing as we only just got Necrome back and put him straight back in the starting 4. After winning the first SnD we knew we had a chance and we took it. But overall it was a great game and well played to Dignitas.

Godlike: Unbelievable. It's our first major win as a team, we just can't wait for the next one!

Tobi: Feels great - first money tourney win. I hope we have silenced some haters, it was a great game and I know it was against a mixed team but they are still some of the best players in this game so it meant a lot.

Necrome: It feels good to be honest, even though it was a mix, they still had U4EA who's and absolute animal and XLNC. Most people have been doubting our spot and today we just proved every single person out there wrong.




CSL: Does beating a mix-team make it any less of a victory?

Bissell: To be honest I don't think so, they are all great players and have been from the start. Throughout this game they have been in all of the top teams and at some point played with each other, so overall it is a great achievement beating players like these and a great win for us and no I dont think it did take anything away from the victory.

Godlike: Personally, it doesn't change anything for me. They are all great players, and it's our first big win, so we are all hyped up about winning!

Tobi: Yeah a little, but a wins a win. They are brillaint players so it's still a massive achievement.





CSL: Would you have beaten the full strength dignitas squad with South as captain?

Bissell: I don't know, I feel Gunshy should be in dignitas as he is a great player, so even if they didnt have South or their fourth, Gunshy was still there who is an absolute beast, but this question is still left to be answered.

Godlike: Yeah I feel the same as BisseLL, I think Gunshy is an absolute tank, and I consider him a much better player than South. And Rumsey is a former dignitas player so it was just like playing Dig anyway. But I think South's leadership skills would of definitely paid off on the night as you could sense that they were a bit weak on Search and Destroy.

Tobi: I would say yes, I think Bobby (XLNC) and Euphoria are Dignitas' two strongest players, the two subs they used are in my opinon are just as strong as South and p0si.

Necrome: Pretty much agree with what the others have said to be honest, but South does have some kind of control over the team. They were still a strong team, Rumsey's an absolute tank at SnD.




CSL: What was your favourite part of the game, except the bit where you won?

Bissell: Bringing back the SnD!

Godlike: Erm, I'd say the second Domination. Just as we knew that we couldn't lose (laughs). We were so happy, sweating with pistols, and some kid on their team running round with an RPD. Brilliant!

Tobi: Agree with Sam (Godlike), but when we three-capped them in domination, that was just as good.

Necrome: I loved every single bit of it to be honest, nice coming back after one month and then three days later beating Team Dignitas! But the SnD was amazing as Bissell said.



CSL: You didnt do very well on the Sabo, is that something you guys need to work on?

Bissell: Yes definitely, we used to be able to hold our own on that gametype, but Dignitas were a very strong sabo side.

Godlike: Oh my god yes. We got slapped hard, and I hope it gets taken out (laughs).

Tobi: Yes, but it didn't help with Euphoria going huge, it is now probably our weakest gametype and we will be working on this for future competitions.

Necrome: I didn't play the sabo, but that was my favourite sabo map, and sabo is my best game type. But it doesn't seem fair that Ludo really wanted to play it, as I've just come back and to watch him have to sit through something he really wanted to play does it? Plus Ludo is an absolute animal when it comes to sabo!



CSL: Tobi, In the pre-game report that I wrote, you said I was incorrect about saying you're stronger at S+D than sabotage, do you believe me now or am I still wrong?

Tobi: I said sorry (laughs), I thought you meant as a whole RxG's strongest gamtype is SnD. You're right, Emo is god.



CSL: Glad you agree (laughs). So what will each of you be spending your winnings on?

Bissell: Probably help me get to the ESGN LAN and just keep it aside for a holiday.

Godlike: Well we havn't worked out how much the winnings are, and how much we all get. If it's alot then maybe a new headset, or I might invest in a monitor as my TV sucks right now so that would be handy. But I'll most likely put it towards LAN as well.

Tobi: Putting it towards a new cap card. It would be for LAN but I live in Manchester so I don't need a lot of money for that.

Necrome: I really don't know to be honest, but I'm saving up for a motorcross bike, so it'll probably go towards buying me that Suzuki 125.




CSL: Gaming aside, can you give us some info on yourselves?

Bissell: My name is Sam Bissell, still a school student and play football in my spare time. I also love the beach.

Godlike: Yeah sure. I'm 17, I live in Middlesbrough in the North-East of England. I went to college last year, but I'm going to a different college this year to do A-Levels.

Tobi: I'm 23, I am an engineer and have a one year old son.

Necrome: Well I am 15, and I live in Liverpool (proud of it too). I'm still in school, and I love to play footy and go motorcrossing.




CSL: What do you all think of the XL being in Manchester?

Bissell: I think it's a great place to be but it's just along way for myself to travel, I hope me and my team can go there and cause some big upsets.

Godlike: Doesn't make a difference for me really. Manchester and Birmingham are pretty much the same distance for me on a train so I'm not too fussed. I'm just glad it's not in London!

Tobi: Brilliant best thing in the world.

Necrome: Not bothered where it is to be honest, but the closer the better.



CSL: Various speculation regarding who you will be representing at XL. Care to fuel any rumours?

Bissell: No comment.

Godlike: No comment.

Tobi: No comment.




CSL: That doesnt give me much to work on guys, they must be big to keep it all hushed up?

Bissel: Ok it's dignitas.

Tobi: No it's Crack Clan!

Godlike: No it's Button Bashers!

Necrome: Everyone knows we're joining iC.

*Necrome lags out*



CSL: I guess we will just have to wait and see. Thanks for the interview guys, would you like to give a shoutout to anyone?

Bissel: Yeah I will, Sammyk, Spray, Blackout and also Makkaz.

Godlike: No bother, big shoutout to Tango and Miracle.

Tobi: Yes, Ultima and Gx.

Bisell: Oh yeah, GX guys aswell!



So there it is, our 4 v 4 tournament has come to an end and without a doubt the best team has won it. I am personally looking forward to the next one which should hopefully be coming soon and remember to check back to Consoles for all the latest news on Esport!
