Free Agents win FireCore 4
By: lurppis
Time: 2012-08-06 06:26
Event: FireCore 4
Game: Counter-Strike 1.6

British mixteam Free Agents have topped Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund's ColdGame 2-1 (15-19 de_dust2, 16-10 de_tuscan, 16-3 de_nuke) to win FireCore 4 and $2,170.

Free Agents had an easy way throughout the tournament this time as they escaped through the group stage and the bracket play mostly untested, with French iGamerz being their only real challenge in the semi-finals.

Alesund's ColdGame was slightly more battle tested by the time they reached the finals, having lost a map against ohyea before one their opponents had to get taken to a hospital by an ambulance during the deciding map, and having had a relatively even semi-final against UKLA as well.


GeT_RiGhT, FYRR73 & co were unable to win in Manchester 

The British side proved superior in the opening half by winning eleven rounds as counter-terrorists on de_dust2 in the grand finals. Despite of an early lead, ColdGame would not surrender as they fought back from a 10-14 deficit to force a map point at 15-14 before winning the map 19-15 in overtime.

ColdGame's routine would not prevail after the comeback win, as Free Agents converted a 5-1 early lead into a 8-7 half. They would not let this map slip away though, as strong play by Christian "ARCH1EB" Pedersen secured them a 16-10 win on de_tuscan.

It all came down to de_nuke where ColdGame won the opening pistol round as counter-terrorists. That was just about all they would win though, as Free Agents showed a dominating performance on the deciding map, winning almost uncontested with a 16-3 score.

2012-08-06 06:30:35
Lex went to hospital before asus final game and he was replaced by Adren, don't sure but it was like in 2009 year, maybe asus summer 2009, they were playing against tp.uSport :)

He must be very upset for losing in a dying game, while he's preparing for the main pro FPS of the future.

any pov or hltv demos? :S
saw only one match on hltv. :/
2012-08-06 06:37:14
Why did that guy have to be taken to the hospital???
2012-08-06 06:42:24
passed out on the toilet, not sure why. maybe not enough sleep, maybe too much drugs, who knows :D
2012-08-06 07:08:34
It was nothing to do with drugs. He didn't pass out on the toilet either..

He suddenly said in the middle of a round that he is going to the toilet and we should pause, when he wasn't back after 2 minutes or so we went looking for him and found him locked in a toilet unconscious.

I guess it's up to him if he wants to say what happened, but needless to say our lan was over right there anyway.

Thankfully it seemed like he will be fine when we spoke to the doctor in the hospital which is the most important thing.
2012-08-06 07:30:49
I suppose it was chiquita who tried to fast :D?

Probably due to malnutrition :D
2012-08-06 12:17:19
Wasn't chiquita.
2012-08-06 14:22:41
Who went to the hospital, was it jamie/ steve / mark or kal ? hope they are ok!
2012-08-06 16:51:05

2012-08-07 03:59:44
ok so you said that he was unconscious on the toilet but he didn't pass out? dont you pass out when you go unconscious? :D or is my english that bad to know there's a difference?

anyway i was just speculating, get_right said he passed out on the toilet so i just passed that along.
2012-08-06 19:26:55
I just meant he wasn't on the toilet, but he was inside a toilet stall for privacy
2012-08-07 04:01:31

Have you actually looked at their stats? Yes archie is top, but if you look beyond that and stop being a mong you'll see everyone contributed
2012-08-06 15:22:30
great LAN. shame about the delays, but it wasn't the organisers' faults.
2012-08-06 08:45:17
Man, the organisers hadn't got 20 computers to play on until like 11am xD They had to play on a laptop haha!

But it got sorted in the end :D

2012-08-06 12:53:30
and because your country is good at a videogame, don't think you're n1 in world rofl.
Btw your country sucks at olympic games.
2012-08-06 13:05:08
Pretty sure FA is more of a mix as there's no uk 1.6 teams left, and where has any sign of arrogance been shown by any FA player to warrent such a childish response where you finish by rofling at yourself, gimp
2012-08-06 13:16:05
No one said they are number 1, but previously "CG Easy" etc etc.

They also lost a map to ohyea who is a complete mix.
2012-08-06 14:35:05
Get a grip

The amount of butthurt cannot be contained.

GeT_RiGhT didn't play so much CS 1.6 lately thats why he wasn't as good as he was used to
2012-08-06 13:04:35
demo plz
2012-08-06 13:28:46
you all know FA aint a mix, so cut the crap.
how long do they played together now? maybe 3 or 4 years?
2012-08-06 13:32:42
Not even a year with those players( 2 weeks with onscreen) but they do not pracc or have any set tactics which is why people say they are a mix. They just play for fun and are good enough to beat good people if they play well:)
2012-08-06 13:41:03
We've been a "team" for about a year, and by a team I mean we enter online tournaments and UK LANs together without practicing at all. The only game we had played before this LAN with onscreen was the game vs beasts.

There's no financial backing in the UK anymore and hasn't been for a few years and we all work / go to Uni so there's not really enough time/reason for us to practice properly :)
2012-08-06 14:47:44
your team was awesome to watch.. welldone, next LAN tourny playing?!

He said on his facebook that hes playing with free in ISC;)
2012-08-07 16:49:05
Waiting a release of admins about the organization. Maybe you didn't heard about it but this event was a big joke.

Admins authorized their own team to replace 2 players before a match (to be sure to win) and the cash prize was not paid because the guy has gone to the casino play poker with it.

More information will coming in the next days.
2012-08-07 20:08:39
