Pre-Game:
It all comes down to this, the final game of the regular season for
Loaded and Ultimax Gaming. The winner secures their spot at the ESEA LAN
finals held in Texas next month, the loser will be out with nothing to show for their hard work all season long. To say this match is important would be an understatement - winner takes all.
Loaded struggled to start the season which set them up to be in this tough position. Dropping five of their first eight games, things were looking bleak until the team added none other than Nazar "naZ" Vynnytsky. From there the team took a sudden turn and has only lost one of their last seven matches.
Ultimax Gaming on the other hand have had a very similar scenario. With a slow start to the season, things turned around when a few roster changes were made with Travis "tuBBy" Bechtol and Dan "mehLer" Mehler coming on board.
The final match of the regular season will get underway on Thursday June 10th at 10:00EST. The scorebot and HLTV information will be posted in #loaded fifteen minutes prior to the start of the match.
