Arriving back home from DH... partially

Tuesday 16th June 2009

 

So first off; SORRY THERE WASNT MORE BLOGS OR UPDATES (!!!!)

 

Everything has just been semi hectic and since I didnt bring my laptop, the only time I had to blog or do updates was whenever I could cheat one of the players ouf ot their of their PC inbetween games or when they were not at their tournament stations.

Anyway, its been a really good trip, our hotel was okay, except for maybe a peeping hole from the hotel room into the shower, the food was DH was good, the tournament arrangements went really smooth, everything was pretty good.

 

The DreamArena extreme was especially really good, a huge props out of the stage team and everyone involved with the stage part, it really felt like ESWC Masters just more professional and way BIGGER.

 

As to results.. what can I really say, we had a really smooth first 3 matches, then with TLT suddenly showing up they were alot more of a wall than we expected and they caught us sitting on our hands in the WB final and they swiped us away pretty easily

 

We crushed 4Kings in the LB final pretty easily though and won back out well deserved slot in the grand final.

 

The final went really smooth technically, we had 2 admins and 3 technicians helping us out and we quickly got setup. The commentating was okay, though they had to do spoiler free as 1 of the TLT guy has a void stage-headset and had to use his own where he could hear it. But as most of you probably have already read, and maybe seen in the replay, we took the first game pretty easily and Im not really gonna go into it. The second game we really felt we had the upper hand when picking, but loda pulled a stunt from the Kingdom days and played a really good spectre and with the support of all 600 spectators in the arena TLT took the final game and won teh final.

 

So a bit off to the dota part again, as the title say.. We made it back.. partially, around soon, when car 2 had just pulled out on the freeway, about 500m in smoked started coming from the engine, so they pulled over and then slowly made it towards a shop, after them doing a quick review and fixing a pipe in the engine, they let us off again, but then, 50km later, shit happend again and they had to pull over in the side of the road, and we just headed home, not being able to help them, and here, 8 hours after we arrived home we heard from them that they were stranded in sweden with a car that doesnt work and no current way to get home, though help is on the way all the way here from Roskilde in form of tow truck and an extra car.

But but but, time to get some rest as the redbull hype is wearing off.
