These 8 contestants won an opportunity to play a match of Contractors VR
and win a VR Gunstock of their choice from Kobra VR.
Falandorn, the creator of Kobra VR and myself are
the team captains and the first team to win 3 games takes home the goods.
Let's get it on!
Man! Yo haven't played this map in so **** long in like 2D let alone in VR.
As we get this match started there's a couple things you should know. First of all one of
Falandorn's team members miscalculated the time of the match and was a no show.
DOH!!!
So they were playing a man down and as if that wasn't enough their entire team resides
in Europe and we were starting off playing on North American servers.
My team and I quickly found out however that
neither one of these potential problems was an issue for them at all.
Falandorn and his crew were keeping pace with us just fine, and we had ourselves a game!
Round one was going really well for my team and I...
Well... actually I should say my team was doing really well.
But Falandorn is a 6 year veteran of VR shooters and he and his guys came to play.
They just slowly kept chipping away at our lead and by the end of the round we were neck and neck.
My team and I couldn't believe we'd just lost,
but hats off to Falandorn and his team for playing a great game. This is a best three
out of five series though so my team and I are ready to tie things up here in round 2!
Despite my teams and my resolve to win this round though Falandorn
and his guys were still riding the momentum of their come from behind victory in round one
and quickly jumped out to a surprising lead.
And like he did in the first round,
Falandorn gave us a live demonstration of what it looks like to be a BOSS!
Meanwhile I was getting a sinking feeling I should have spent more time practicing leading up to this.
Round two was not going at all like we'd hoped
but in a last ditch effort to try and turn the tide and scrape together a win,
rather than running around frantically trying to not die, my team and I decided to all get together
and defend this office portion of the house and wait for Falandorn and his team to come to us.
Wow!!! Two games in a row... and this one was a beat down!
I knew Falandorn was good but, Wow!
My team and I were now down 2 games to 0. Falandorn and his team were just one
win away from a complete sweep but Team Maraksot wasn't about to let that happen.
It was our turn now. Round 3 was ours.
The fate of all humanity hinges on this round. If Team Maraksot loses this one
fire will rain down from the heavens, the oceans will boil, the Spaceballs
will suck all the air off the planet and politicians will actually tell us the truth!
Ok, so none of that is actually going to happen but if we lose this one Falandorn's team will
be the ones getting to pick whatever Kobra VR gunstock they want as a prize
and at the beginning of the round they were once again pulling out in front of us.
Rather than wait until the end of the round to get together and help each other like we did in round
2 we decided to employ this strategy much earlier on and began slowly creeping our way back up.
I wish I could say I contributed in some meaningful way to our midgame run but
despite my ineptitude my team was KILLING it! And victory was within reach.
We were so close to getting our first win we could taste it. We just needed
to keep going but Falandorn and his team weren't about to make it easy for us.
It was over. Falandorn and his team had won.
Congratulations guys, you freakin' rocked it.
For their prizes; Patryk from Poland and Liam from the UK
both chose the yet to be released Kobra Mag Lock aka Elite 3.0 and Wouter from the Netherlands
chose the Wolverine DMR with the as of yet unreleased pump action shotgun module.
As for Jonathan, the poor soul who missed the match he and everyone on my team all
walked away with the Wolverine Ultralite which is the stock I used for the match and
clearly need more practice using because it's a great stock for games like Contractors.
A huge shout out to Falandorn and Kobra VR for their participation
in this giveaway as well as to all the contestants and to everyone that entered.
It was a great time and I look forward to doing it again.
