MikeSan (Challenger) vs snowbody (defender)

Date: 4/22/2017

Winner: snowbody (3-0)

Challenger: Kalle
Defender: Frostfire

Round 1
Map: Sprawl
Picker: Frostfire
Winner: Frostfire
Score: 173-135

The two advanced marblers started out hot with the score tied after one minute. In the second minute, though Kalle was working hard and playing well, Frostfire overtook him and increased his lead by around 10 points every minute until the game's end.

Round 2
Map: Maximo Center
Picker: Kalle
Winner: Kalle
Score: 127-112

In some ways, this match was the opposite of the last match. Frosty started ahead immediately and kept a 10-20 point lead until near the end of the match, when Kalle came back with vigor. The final moments were intense, until Kalle made some slick moves and cinched the victory. Also, a good 30 seconds of the map was spent camping.

Round 3
Map: Horizon
Picker: Frostfire
Winner: Frostfire
Score: 93-63

A strange and competitive match. Frostfire stole the first blue and Kalle retaliated by mega marbling him twice. There was another long standoff. Frostfire got a bunch of blues and Kalle effectively surrendered before the match was over.

Round 4
Map: Marbleland
Picker: Kalle
Winner: Frostfire
Score: 154-118

A very solid match, close in scores for a lot of it. Frostfire slowly accumulated a lead using many spawn abuse tricks. In the last minute, a crucial platinum gem appeared that could have quickly changed the course of the game, but Frostfire got the gem and the win.

Great game to both!

145-143 on Sprawl (3-1 Rosie) - I was showboating and gave Eguy 30 seconds to catch up from 30 points behind. Almost backfired on me. Lesson (not) learned.

Challenger: Frostfire
Defender: Hperks

Round 1
Map: Bowl
Picker: Hperks
Winner: Hperks
Score: 142-102

Hperks took an early lead, then Frostfire closed the gap. In the last couple minutes, hperks got into the zone and finished 40 points ahead with what he considers perhaps his best match on this map. Interestingly, no blues spawned in the match.

Round 2
Map: Marbleland
Picker: Frostfire
Winner: Frostfire
Score: 139-136

Hperks built a decent early lead on Frostfire. Frostfire got the first platinum gem using a cool super-speed trick, and this catalyzed his epic 30-point comeback. The match was close until the end.

Round 3
Map: Playground
Picker: Hperks
Winner: Frostfire
Score: 131-124

Playground was close for the duration of the game. With 30 seconds left, a blue spawned close to Frostfire and far from hperks, which proved to be the edge Frostfire needed to take home the victory.

Round 4
Map: Vortex Effect
Picker: Frostfire
Winner: Frostfire
Score: 122-112

Frostfire maintained a slight lead throughout most of the game.

Great game to both!

Oops, I forgot to post the match that me and Sefaro had last week.

IIRC it's a 3-2, I won.

MBOUltimate (iirc again) was also there, so he can be the witness.
