Cosmic Rick's Teamwerks Tournament Wrapup
So, after 4 weeks of fierce competition (umm... kind of, anyway), Cosmic Rick's Teamwerks Tournament has come to a close. The season was plagued with scheduling difficulties and collaboration issues. As far as we can tell, the closest thing to an official game happened in round 2 where 3 Roosters and a Cat beat The Buttered Bisquits by bringing in a ringer. However, after 3 tiers of no-shows and forfeits, it all came down to the Teamwerks Championship, which took place Tuesday night. The competitors: Cosmic Rick's "Team A.E.S.F." and TXGhost's "Pain Train". Here's what happened:
Round 1:
The first round started off in Pain Train's favor, with the blue team leading off by several points. After some initial problems with Team AESF's BR-man were dealt with (Insane had some late-join and lag issues), AESF quickly picked it up, beating Pain Train 48 to 29.

Round 2:
Round two is perhaps most accurately described with the term "furious". Not because of anything Furious did... just because it was complete mayhem. Team AESF came through the whirlwind of plasma-blasts, sticky grenades, and man-cannoned bodies with a 66 to 19 win.
Please notice which team's shields are down...
Round 3:
The picture below describes the general tone of Team A.E.S.F.'s highest scoring round for team Pain Train. Cosmic Rick managed to bring himself into top-scoring position this round with 2 grenade sticks, one of which shattered TXGhost's spine. Despite Furious D 18 and TXGhost's valiant shield-draining efforts, A.E.S.F. pulled out the win: 77 to 32
TXGhost's broken body after an early-game grenade from Cosmic Rick. This is how grudges are born.
So, that's it, then. Team A.E.S.F. won the first ever Teamwerks championship 191 to 80. Don't get me wrong. Pain Train put up a good fight. I was completely surprised when I saw the final score, though that's likely due to the fact that I had the most deaths on team A.E.S.F.
Team AESF decided to pose a little bit for the winning score-board screenshot.
Do I feel bad about winning my own tournament? Sure, a little bit. But when it comes down to it, I had a great team. We worked together well, we knew the arena, and nobody practiced as much as we did (no, I'm not talking about the game... We talkin' 'bout practice!). If anybody would like to challenge the team in the future, we're always up for a game... Just be ready for what's coming.
Prizes
Each member of my team will be getting $10 sent to them via mail. This includes both our subs, even though they didn't play during the season. Please send me a PM with your name/address/phone number, and I'll mail some billz out to you. I was going to give the winning team's captain a signed picture of me, or something like that... but since I won, I think I'll just treat myself to a frosty beverage.
