Impact WINS Germany European Masters – Millennium Series 2014
Impact WINS Germany European Masters
– Slow and Steady wins the race –
There were some long winded points to the Germany leg of the 2014 Millenium Series. With a field built to accept locking down lanes and making it hard for some progressive front player movement it was a very strategic balance of risk vs. reward.
The European Masters tournament was caught, hanging in the balance, for the entirety of this match. A slow four minute long first point was the pretense of what would come of this chess game like match-up, each team trying to not be the first to make a mistake. After the eternity (it seemed like!) of a nail biter Breakout Spa lost enough bodies for Impact’s Justin Cornell to run down the snake side and finish it up.
Edmonton, trying to capitalize on the lead and create more distance, placed the same lineup on the field. Much to their chagrin they quickly lost bodies on the dorito side, and while Dave Baines (Impact) attempted to recover that side Breakout had plans of their own. A two sided attack from Axel Gaudin (Breakout) jumping to the 50 dorito bunker and Quentin Duchene (Breakout) closed the deal on the second point.
Of course the European Masters can’t end in a tie, so with the final two points Impact was much more efficient in placing themselves at the top of the podium. After sitting the first two points Justin Rabackoff (Impact) dealt enough damage for Breakout to concede the deciding point. With a lead of 2-1 Impact need not do more but let the remaining 1:09 roll off the clock, however after bodies flew off the field from each side they safely stalemated a 1-on-1 opportunity to cast the first place shadow on Breakout.
