Ravens progress to playoffs

Ravens have made it into the playoffs at the European Championship Finals by defeating oXmoze in the relegation stage.

Ravens and oXmoze, the two teams that have made people turn heads in the tournament. The two faced off in the relegation stage, where the winner would be allowed access to the playoffs. Starting on de_nuke, the Danes played a fair CT side, not allowing the French attacks to succeed, as they had done against mTw yesterday. The Danes had a 10-5 lead build up before switching sides. Second half with oXmoze as CT, Ravens had some clutch rounds going their way, which put oXmoze in a bad money-situation. This in the ended made Ravens win 16-12.

Second map, de_inferno, had oXmoze and especially Mickael "mSx" Cassisi written all over it. There was nothing positive to mention about Ravens, who got absolutely destroyed. Starting CT, oXmoze secured 14-1 at half-time, followed by two rounds as T, the French secured 16-1 and forcing third map.
