| Coming off a fourth place finish at Orlando, and a tremendous upset against Str8 Rippin, MLG’s Jokr had a chance to sit down with the new Ambush team.
MLG: Nexus and Heinz, at San Diego you toppled first seeded Final Boss. After the event, both of you were dropped, formed a new team, and beat first Seeded Str8 Rippin at Orlando; Which victory was bigger? Heinz: Str8 Rippin was a lot bigger because the games were a lot closer and we had something to prove after being dropped. Nexus: I agree with Heinz. Str8 Rippin was basically huge for me, because not only were the games closer, but everyone thought it was a fluke that we beat Final Boss and we wanted to prove that we could do it [again]. MLG: Could you briefly tell us what happened in Game 5 of the first series against Str8 Rippin? Nexus:Game 5, the famous Game 5, Pit TS. Basically, at the beginning they got rockets, overshield, weapon, and map control and the score was 47 to 35. I remember we started getting easy kills, they were rushing by themselves, and we realized if we could stay alive long enough, we could do it. So when the overshield was coming up, our coach told us… Pistola: Pistola... Nexus: Pistola told us we had to at least burn it, or make an attempt to get it, because if they got, it the game would be over. So I went down towards overshield and Legit was standing there. I shot him twice and he turned away from the overshield, which is what I wanted him to do, and I burnt it. I then killed Legit, turned around put a shot in Neighbor who was chasing me, then beat down and one shotted T2. Heinz: I finished off Neighbor and Mudvayne killed Elamite. Nexus: I went inside sword , Pistola somehow managed up in their shotgun with sniper. I don't know how, but he spawn sniped T2 off spawn. Heinz: I killed Neighbor in their courtyard and put shots into the spawners. Nexus: And Mudvayne jumped from their training to courtyard 'cause they all spawned there. He got Elamite to one shot and I was about to jump out into their courtyard and finish off Elamite, but Legit was looking towards their plat so I just turned to the side and assassinated him. That was the fastest 30 seconds, it was ridiculous. Heinz: The crowd got really loud when we... Nexus When the score was 49 to 48 us I just remember screaming, I couldn't even hear Heinz who was sitting next to me like seriously, I couldn't hear anything just screaming and I just saw Legit and assassinated him, it was crazy. [Editors Note: Ambush does a great job describing their Game 5 victory, but nothing beats watching the actual game itself. Included below for your viewing pleasure is WBR3 Ambush vs. Str8 Rippin.]
