Triggers Down 3-0's Instinct, Advances to Championship Match
By subtheorist | Published: July 13, 2008 4:44pm EDT
It's the match we've been hoping to see for over three weeks now: Triggers Down and Instinct. The two teams have been dominating their competition all throughout the weekend, which inevitably brought them together in the Winners Bracket Finals just moments ago. A very particular chain of events had to occur in order for the this match to happen, and many people predicted it would never happen—but sure enough, it did. You know about the rivalry, you've heard about the controversy, and it all came together on MLG Championship Sunday just moments ago.Here's a game-by-game breakdown of the match. The match started off on CTF Onslaught, a map and gametype that Roy is particularly good at. However, with the intensity radiating from Triggers Down, it would prove to be completely irrelevant in the end. Snipedown knew he needed to make a statement very early, and he did just that with a flag capture within the first minute of the match. The crowd went wild, chanted in the name of TD, and gave Triggers Down the immediate momentum boost. Instinct were eventually able to capture 2 flags of their own, but the pure slaying abilities of Triggers Down proved to be too much to handle as they took Onslaught CTF 4-2.
Game 2 took us to The Pit Team Slayer, which ended up being a much closer game than the previous. Triggers Down took a quick 10-5 lead, but were eventually trapped in their spawn by an extremely aggressive Instinct setup. Despite this, TD kept their cool and somehow held onto their lead throughout the punishment. For the second time on the MLG Main Stage, SK took the reins and led his team to a total victory. He racked up 15 kills in a short amount of time, propelling his team to a thrilling 50-46 victory.
That brought us to what would become the third and final map. The gametype was Oddball and the map was Guardian. Triggers Down took a dominant 48-0 nothing lead over Instinct, and showed no signs of looking back. Instinct began to gain some momentum, which enabled them to cut TD's lead in half. However, it wouldn't be enough. Triggers Down's setups were flawless, their BR's were on-point, and there was little Instinct could do to stop the inevitable. TD walked away from Guardian Oddball with an impressive 200-101 win.
Triggers Down has now earned their place in MLG Orlando's Finals, where they will take on the winner of the upcoming Losers Bracket Finals. Be sure to stick with mlgpro as MLG Championship Sunday rolls on!
