Our eighth match of the current CPS-Season was a derby versus another german team, RAPTOR-GAMING, brought along trouble.
The trouble was about our hardest opponents, as last season,  the wildcards. RAPTOR-GAMING had problems to get a proper lineup and so they've decided to chose a wildcard. After some discussions, they canceled the protest and the full match was able to be played regulary.

The first submatch of the evening was, as usual, the 1on1 played by BlackPhoenix and Sabre, participant of the british EPS. BlackPhoenix did a very consistent job and noticed early that he don't has  to push the whole round. Result 7-2 to BlackPhoenix, Overall: 1-0 to @team.

The second match was the 2on2 played by straucherl and BuMseBieNe, who had to compete vs a well prepared RAPTOR-Lineup. Both teams showed a well job and the match were head by head at the beginning. Then RAPTOR-Gaming pulled away to a intermediate-result of 4-2. Our two players wanted to start a comeback, but without success this time.
Result 5-3 to RAPTOR-GAMING, Overall: 1-1

The third match was the 3on3 on the special-map "W!nter", built by !ceman.
A little suprise was Olf, who played a map after a break once again. Our three players let their rivals, who were led by nugget, only a small space to fight back. Driver of this submatch was a powerful BlackPhoenix again, who was able to drive several excellent times.
Result 7-2 to @team, Overall: 3-1 to @team.

The last, and deciding, match this night was the 5on5. A typicall @team-performance again. RAPTOR-Gaming pulled away to 5-2, before the @team found their focus finally and were able to win every round to a final-result of 7-5.

So the Result was 5-1 to the @team, who showed that they've deserved to keep their place in the highest league of TMN:F.
