The Console Gaming Battlefield Bad Company 2 Kick-off tournament launched some time ago and it has finally come to a close, with 'Brutal Squad' (BSQ) taking home the gold.
After becoming runners up in the previous Battlefield title, Battlefield 1943, and with RNX the BF1943 winners not competing on BFBC2 it looked as if we would be the clear winners with no other real competition left. With us also picking up 5 DoA members and maintaining an unbeaten streak on the CG ladder, them being able to win the tournament looked a certainty. However, with many American clans from the EA forums finding out about the CG tournament, the competition was much higher than first anticipated. With teams such as RaW, TaO, HK and MFH flocking over, it looked as if it would be a tough tournament for CGs teams, including us.
With us knocking out teams such as RaW and HK early on, we built up confidence and it looked as if nobody could keep up with the strategies that we had, never mind executing them as well. we met BsE in the quarter finals who were seen as the second best CG team. After a convincing 2-0 win TaO stood in their way in the semi finals. This was the toughest competition that we had came up against but we still managed to pull through after a 2-1 win. The finals were played against MFH, who had merged with AoB, one of the best conquest clans on the BF series.
After one of the most intense matches on BFBC2, we came out on top with a 2-1 win and with the winning round being won by only 1 ticket. MFH certainly were the strongest EA team and would not go down without a fight and therefore we were worthy runners up. We have done well and still continue our unbeaten streak!
Lets hope we can continue this success on other Battlefield games!
