And so the clash of the titans ended in a smashing victory for the Cracco's. The final score was 10-2 for the clan lead by Chiyu, which proves again how strong the clan has grown recently. Beating GpW, which played really good despite the low score, will be counted as a crucial move and CC proved with this match that they are one of the favourites for the first place of this tournament.

Uhm, let's see... Yeah, Yasco and Veg didnt score, since they were always R... And I sort of expected this, although I wouldnt say it out loud before game. As the score shows the POTM was Chiyu, but I did excellent too. Really sick timing w/ Tom =) An eloge to Veg and Yasco too, who played better than all GpWers.

I just played my own game :P was R when I had to be R, killed when I had to kill... I am not a very well NA player though.. It isn't my fave level... the last time I played a clanwar (Vs. TF) it was Semi. The best level I have atm.. well yea, then it goes lots of better than this.. Anyway, I still think I am not good in NA.. just normal :P I am a better player in MS and Sacr..
Funny that 3 players which even werent in the warteam played and still beated them like this.. :P

As I said before, this match means more to me than JJ2WC itself. Since our encounter way back in 1999 or 2000, we have been enemies. CC and GpW members could never get along and we were always flaming eachother. My Co-Leader COOLM@N and I were always on the front row with these fights, usually facing Shadow and Newspaz. After the years, things have cooled down and we became rivals rather than enemies. Shadow and I have admitted to eachother that we were acting really childish and stupid back then. But since early 2002, we have always been hoping to get a clanwar CC vs. GpW to fight it out once and for all. Even although CC'ers and GpW'ers are getting along really nicely nowadays, the strong desire to face my old rivals never faded away.
And there was our chance in 2005; JJ2WCII. Originally, the warteam was going to be Grytolle - Sephiroth - Squirrel, simply because they were supposed to be the best players in Nuclear Afterblast in CC. Both Sephiroth and Squirrel were unable to play at the arranged time though. A good thing about CC is that we have enough warteam players (7) to fall in for people who can't play. This was my chance. I had taken a rest from JJ2 about three weeks ago, but I decided to come back earlier than planned. I found myself better and more motivated than ever before. Monday and Tuesday I didn't play any other level than Nuclear Afterblast. And out of the about seven training matches I played, I didn't lose a single one. And so I was able to force my way into the warteam.
In the 20 minutes before the game began, I had to pee three times. I was that nervous. This was going to be "IT", my most important hour at JJ2 ever. I felt so different than I normally would, about to start a match or clanwar. Something inside of me told me that I just "HAD" to win this match, and give everything I have. Then the game began, after a bit of waiting for SuperJazz. It took us some time (about 10 minutes) to really get into the game, and I was happy to reach a 3-1 lead in the first round. All three of us did a good job. But the second round, was just amazing. After a while I expected that we'd get 3-1 again, but in a relatively short time, Gry and I were able to score four more points to add to our total. Our teamplay and our timing were great! Yasco did well too. 10-2, what a result. A deserved victory for the Cracco Clan, but more than that, a personal victory for myself. If CC gets far this tournament, that's nice, but having defeated GpW is already the ultimate victory for myself. The old rivalry between the Cracco's and the Guru's has finally been settled. I'm happy. I have reached my goal on JJ2...
On a sidenote, I'd like to dedicate this victory to my old best friend and Co-Leader COOLM@N (aka HikariCM), for the reason mentioned above. GG.
