L.A. Complexity vs. Chicago Chimera
Redemption was undoubtedly the theme of tonight’s first competition. The first three matches of the night featured players with less than stellar second season records looking to expand their victories. In Dead or Alive 4 (DOA4) male, Perfect Legend of Complexity went up against Black Mamba of the Chimera. After a back and forth struggle, Black Mamba managed to win by a single point, earning him his first victory of the season. The female competition followed much the same path. The Chimera’s Kasumi Chan rocked Complexity’s Belle the first few rounds until she managed to tie the game. Kasumi Chan pulled finally got on the board this season with her victory in the final round.
Complexity’s FIFA 08 player, KreeganBG, has had a tough season. While ranked highly during training he has thus far failed to live up to his reputation. Tonight faced Eafra, the standout FIFA player from Chimera. History repeated itself as KreeganBG failed to score a single goal and Eafra walked away victorious.
The Forza 2 race featured some of the most intense action of the night. Ch0mpr and GTO led the pack and changed places on several occasions complete with plenty of car-on-car action. In the end Ch0mpr pushed ahead and take first, but Complexity’s two players kept the score close by finishing in the remaining scored positions.
In a flashback to recent competitions, Complexity’s Counter-Strike team was again forced to make up for the franchise’s point deficiency. Complexity won seven points the first round playing as the counter-terrorists. Unfortunately for Complexity, the inherent counter-terrorist advantage also worked in the Chimera’s favor. Chicago dominated the second round and handedly won the overall franchise match.
| Franchise | DOA4 Male | DOA4 Female | Forza 2 | FIFA 08 | Counter-Strike | Score | Record |
| L.A. Complexity | 4 | 4 | 3 | 0 | 8 | 19 | 0-5 |
| Chicago Chimera | 5 | 5 | 4 | 2 | 10 | 26 | 2-2 |
Valve seems to have a handle on what they are doing when it comes to games. With Team Fortress 2 being such a success, they’re thinking about Counter-Strike 2.
