Haven

The game begins.
The game starts off with a bang as Aspas gets a 4K pistol round. This moment would go on to define the map as talon esports go on to lose the half 12-0 Yet, switching sides, it seems that talon finally find their stride as they are up 3v1 on the attack pistol, with the only player left standing for leviathan being com, who has had a quiet performance thus far going 5/6. Yet, in this crucial moment, he strikes, flanking through attacker spawn and catching all three members of talon off guard.
One, two, three. The Korean crowd goes wild. Leviathan take map one 13-0
Haven boasts a similar story as the map before, as leviathan ride their momentum from the previous map to win 12 consecutive flawless rounds, closing out the half 12-0 once more.
The crowd is stunned, having witnessed this embarrassing showing from talon. The local law enforcement is holding out nearby getting ready to arrest the players of leviathan for statutory rape in a public setting. Primmie has it the worst, having been put into a serious of seizures since the third round.
As the clock ticks down, and the teams switch sides, the coms of talon esports are silent, not a single word uttered cept for the occasional “Hsgeywbd” from primmie. Then, out of nowhere, a voice is heard, the unmistakeable voice of the one and only Peter “Governor” No.
“Guys, if we are good, prove it now.”
With these simple words, the roster of talon are rejuvenated once more.
“Yeah guys,” Crws resonates
“Let’s get this win” says jitboys
“We got this” follows ban
“Fuehvxghebd ” replies primmie, convulsing back and forth
The game resumes. Talon esports claw their way back into the game, winning round by round, eventually winning the map 14-12 in overtime.
Lotus too is hard fought as both teams fight back and forth. .
The score is tied 11-11. Talon decides to execute c site. Yet, holding the site is aspas, who, with a deagle, one taps four players of talon, leaving only one behind: governor, at 1hp.
With one hp to his name, governor picks up the vandal of his fallen comrad.
He lines up the first two, then two more. Suddenly it’s down to a 1v1 against com, who is flanking like the round before, and the round before that, and the round before that one. But this time, it is expected. With the last of his bullets, governor styles on com, as he flicks him with a 360. Talon win the round 12-11. “Fucking shitters” governor mumbles under his breath.
With their mentality shattered and economy in the dust, talon take the map and win the match 2-1.
Devastated, Aspas can do nothing but watch in horror and jealousy as governor and ban make out passionately wondering where everything went wrong…
