Piece of Cake has blown their competition away and have won the first ever
Fnatic PLAY QuakeLive Clan Arena Cup, powered by BestPoker.com!
Piece of Cake (poc) started the cup easy, as they got two def-wins as their opponents didn't show up. In the Quarter Finals, poc met deathreign and the BO3 system kicked in. Piece of Cake won quite easily: 10-1 on ca1 and 10-6 on dm6.
A harder matched followed in the Semi Finals. They were up against Fishtix who were on a good run. The first map, dm20, was won with a close score of 10-9. The second map, dm14, went to Fishtix with 10-7. The third map, dm6, was again a thriller and went to poc with 10-9 again.
In the Grand Final poc were up for possibly their hardest challenge, the French all star team,
Weird Monkeys. The French side had been showing strong results all through the tournament with l1nkin leading his teammates to victory after victory. The most impressive match must have been against the mix line-up with Dutch stars such as Forever and tua, where they won 2-1.
But Weird Monkeys proved to be no challenge for Piece of Cake. 10-2 was the score on the first map, ca2. An easy victory was expected, but the second map was a lot closer, but poc again proved to be strong and took dm20 with 10-8.
Statement by Paganini, Piece of Cake player:First of all I’d like to say it was really fun to participate the fnatic.cup. All participators are very skilled and everyone had the same goal: to win this tournament! I’m very glad about that we has won this cup. In this respect I'd like to conclude, that many gamers all over the world should play quakelive, because it is a really greate game with big potential. I'm looking forward participating further cups in the time to come.
Statement by sanji, Weird Monkeys player:I'm very satisfied with this cup and hope there will be others. Most of our matches were really interesting even if the semifinal against bubbels was a bit too long. Of course we are disappointed about our loss in final. But at least we played the way we like it, very offensive in one zone with rockets and lightning guns.
The third-place match won't be played, the teams decided to split the money. So with this in mind the top eight is as followed
