Hi,
we've just finished the 2nd SpaceSpeed tournament, and I'm bringing you the results and again few gifs and moments from the tournament. But first of all, let me say few words about the map again. I wanted to make the ball a little slower after the first tournament, because all the results were like 5:4 4:5 5:3, so the results would be more diverse with slower ball, but this tournament we tried to play 1 min. games instead of 2 min., and it was perfect in my opinion. So in conclusion, when we want to keep the SpeedGol idea, we need to keep the ball as it is. It really depends on few mistakes and perfect kickoffs. After this tournament I must say that kickoffs again skilled players are not that easy, actually I think they are a little bit harder than at normal SpeedGol. So I'm not saying we wont be trying to make the map even better, to test some tweaks here and there, but now it's perfect for the sake of the SpeedGol.
So here are the promised results:
As you can see, the creators of the map ended up with medals again, but this time we changed our places a little bit, as Vida was 3rd and I (*humbly*) won.
But I must say it was really nervewrecking, especially the final match. You'll see in a minute.
I got some gifs for you again:
Lets start with our admins, SanRoo and LorZ, having fun on the field.
New player Cosssta was not very experienced, but he was also a bit unlucky. Of course Vida punished him for not scoring
But Cosssta fought as he could, and he made a nice save against SanRoo
Vida's bad/unlucky kickoff against lorZ, and snipershot by lorZ
Knarrr's 1bounce kickoff goal vs dulli's 2bounce kickoff goal
Funny own goal by Cosssta
Lets jump straight to the semifinals with this lorZ-save-shot-offThePost-dulli-fail goal
Nice bounceshot by dulli
Vida's beautiful save and 2bounce goal secured him the 3rd place against lorZ
Ok. Now for the final. I dont even know how I managed to proceed through the group stage. I screwed up my matches against dulli, and if dulli would lose against knarrr in their last match, I would have no chance to continue. By they tied, and I took the chance, and won my last match.
In the semifinal I met Vida once again, but this time I have won. I kept cool head, and tried to make as little mistakes as I could, and it paid off.
Dulli has beaten lorZ in the semifinal, so he and I met in the final match.
It was really tough match. I had a big chance of winning, but I scored and own goal with my last kickoff (3:04). So there had to be an overtime. I screwed up the first half of it, and I thought it is over. But, luckily for me, dulli made critical mistake in his last kickoff (4:53), after which I scored, and we went to the second overtime. This time I made no mistake in the first half, and I scored nice counter-kickoff goal (5:52) at the beginning of the second half. After that, it went down quickly, and I won the Final Match.
It was great match, and if you dont believe, check the whole match out!
I could've made gifs out of the replay, but I think that the whole match is worth watching.
Thank you for reading, and thank you for participating!
See you in the next tournament
