Core.CSS Wins First Match in Training Camp Week 4

Posted by: MarkDolven

Dave Geffon chose to substitute PEX for Volcano for 3D New York in this matchup. The Core on the other hand decided to run their full lineup. The match took place on de_season.

The match started out with the Carolina Core winning the coin toss and choosing to start as the Counter-Terrorist defensive team on Season. 3D New York came out on fire and seemingly caught the Core off guard through aggressive pushes. They managed to win the first four rounds to take an early 4-0 lead. In the fifth round, Sonny decided to get things started for Carolina by eliminating four members of 3D to get the Core their first round. They ran with this momentum and were able to able to win the next two rounds also bringing the score to 4-3 in favor of New York. In an attempt to stop the momentum, 3D managed to get the bomb planted and successfully defend it to extend their lead to 5-3, but the Core answered right back and won the final round of the half. After a full half of play, the Core was down to 3D by one round at 4-5.

Since the Core ended the first half by winning four of the five final rounds, the match was definitely leaning in their favor. Nick Nowakowski decided to do his part by ending this when he got four quick AWP kills to extend 3D’s lead to 6-4 overall. This was the end of anything positive for 3D because the Core just caught fire. The next four rounds were all Carolina behind some calculated attacks that 3D was unable to stop. This gave the Core a 8-6 lead and they looked like they were about to win another one in round fifteen, but Nickn0it was somehow able to defuse the bomb that Carolina had planted with a member of the Core still alive. An error on Carolina’s part should have cost them the match, but Org had other plans. He was able to open the following round with a pick off on Method which enabled him to plant the bomb. He then followed that up with two more frags before eventually falling. DAFF cleaned up the last two members of New York and Carolina moved to gamepoint. Sonny ended any hopes of a 3D comeback before they could even think twice when he had a three frag round that won Carolina the match. The final score ended up being 11-7 in favor of Carolina and this miraculously won the Carolina Core their first CSS match of the entire CGS Training Camp.
