de_dust2- NoA16:3 Begrip

First half started with NoA as T, and Begrip as CT. The match started in favor of Begrip when they took the gunround without any deaths. NoA did not seem to like that, and took the second round with Deagles, and hooch running away to save his weapon. From that point Begrip did not have the best of luck and neither did they have the skills to take out NoA in those close rounds.
Even with Sunde in a 1vs3, they did not manage to succeed. Sunde killing all three, and defusing the bomb. NoA taking first half with 12:3, and forcing Begrip to play a very strong T side.

Second half with three NoA players in B, making it impossible for Begrip to enter the bombspot. hooch left alone, and Sunde takes him out easily. Begrip then tried the Deagles, which NoA suceeded with in the first half, but tough luck for Begrip, it did not make a difference.
The third round Begrip managed to enter bombspot B, with MJE taking out three of them, before they mange to take him down. Sunde quickly entering the bombspot, killing diNGo and defusing the bomb. Begrip had nothing, or NoA simply woke up upon the loss versus CMAX yesterday. NoA taking their fourth round in a row, and bring the match home 16:3.

Man of the match must be Sunde. He played two really good halfs, and proved the audience that he's clearly the fantastic player he is.

Next up will be the Grand Final. Yet again Team NoA made it to the final. Last year they made it to the final through upper bracket, and a win in the final versus Speedlink. This year, they come from lower bracket and will be faceing a the Finnish team CMAX.
