2/26/10 - TwC Wins First In XPL, 16-6

In a match on de_cbble in week 3 of XPL Open, TwC got the chance to start as ct on a heavily ct-sided map. Getting off to a strong start in the pistol round, TwC quickly got out to a 8-0 lead, helped out by a 1v3 clutch from Snoop in the third round with an mp5 against unarmored aks in the B site. While .NET was able to take a couple rounds later in the half, strong play by everyone (CeNTR in mid, P in A hallways, ant and 7rig towards B), including a strong 4-kill round by CeNTR with an awp on the rotation to B, and a quick 3 kills with a deagle rushing into B hallways by Snoop during a save round, carried TwC to a 12-3 at half. In the second half, TwC started with a strong delayed B rush in the pistol round that quickly took the site and won the round. TwC was able to use their gun advantage in round 2 to take A site, to take a quick 2-0 lead. While we faltered in round 3, we were able to win a 3rd round when 7rigger got into the bombsite with 3 hp left, as CeNTR took out 2 of the 3 remaining cts to cover him, and 7rigger fought through heavy lag on his connection and a flash that blinded both him and the remaining ct to clutch out the round. TwC was then able to win a 4th round, finishing the second half 4-3 and the match with a 16-6 win. The win moves TwC to 1-2 in XPL.
