Week 1 Playoffs 11/19/08 --- de_season
Warchild vs. Control Gaming
Warchild is one of the only other top main teams I know
nothing about. We have never scrimmed them and haven't heard
much about them. Control Gaming is a solid team with some
incredible shots and true dedication. I expect Control to
really step it up in playoffs. It's time for those baddies
to make invite!

Warchild vs. Control Gaming
When I see Warchild's results the only I can realize its they have lost some close matches. When
you have 3 close matches and 2 OT on your page it definitely shows that your team is great
competition for others. As for Control Gaming, I've not watched them closely but all I can say its
when they're winning a match, they're not winning by close, they're dominating their opponents.

Cyberathlete League Main Playoffs Brackets:
Week in Review --- Issue Nov. 1-7
Patrick: Thanks for taking time out of your schedule for this interview Jake, hows it going.
Jacob: No problem, and its going great, yourself?
Patrick: I'm fine thanks, but lets get started. With the recent acquisition of Inimitable by Control Gaming, do you feel that the team as a whole has grown and if so, how?
Jacob: I feel we have learned how to contribute to a whole community rather than to just ourselves. We played to win for ourselves before, but that's all changed. Now when we win, we know we're contributing to our entire organization. I believe we accomplished this by surrounding ourselves with not only solid, dedicated players, but great guys.
Patrick: How would you describe this past season of Cal-Main? What were some of the steps the team took in preparing itself each week and how did you feel about the season's competition level as a whole?
Jacob: Staying focused throughout the entire season is always hard with a season as long as this. Fortunately we were able remain on track by adopting a multiple step process. Some of the approaches we took were to go over the map as a team and create strats that worked for our type of gameplay. We scrimmed with minimal strats, and then modified them to work better with the competition at hand. Our goal also was to get a solid 5 each week, which worked out well since we have about 7 dedicated players who are constantly working for the team. There have been some tough matches, but every one of our loses could have been winnable. Getting losses out of the way during the season is better than finding out how to lose in playoffs.
Patrick: That's a pretty smart philosophy. Now that Control has reached the playoffs, does the team have any specific approach to make sure things go smoothly?
Jacob: I guess our main strategy will be the same, but we will be much more urgent about things. This is what you play for, you play to win it all, and we're definitely here to win Cal-Main.
Patrick: Has involvement with other leagues such as CGS and CEVO conflicted with this past season's results? And if so, how do you manage to balance everything and maintain a successful team?
Jacob: It definitely effected things. As a team that is trying to do well in all leagues, you have to try to balance out the practice for each league, so that translates into practice cut short for both leagues. As a team, we decided to take CAL more seriously than CGS, primarily for the reason that CAL-Invite is on the horizon. Secondly we didn't have the starting 5 we wanted on the CGS roster. CAL is our main concern now with playoffs coming, and although CEVO-Main is just starting, it'll be on the back burner until playoffs are over.
Patrick: Alright Jake, thanks for your time. Best of luck to the team throughout the playoffs and CEVO-Main.
Jacob: Thanks, we won't disappoint. *Sings power rangers theme song*

Control TF2 is taking over CEVO-A
With a rocky start at the beginning of the season, Control's TF2 team is gaining more and more respect everyday. While holding a commanding record of 4-0 and surprising many teams with powerful victories, Control Gaming is now "the team to beat" in the Atlantic division.
The team started the season off losing their MVP "f00k" (medic), to retirement. He inherited a huge settlement and decided to travel the world. It was a devastating blow to the team. f00k was hands-down, one of the best medics in the game. Ax|, a former member of Control and a good friend of Out of Control, quickly joined Control Gaming for a second time as the new medic (and isn't doing too bad either). The team's demoman, Minty1, has gone back to college. He ordered his new gaming laptop at the beginning of the season, hoping to play in every match. Unfortunately, Dell has been very slow with the creation of his computer and has still yet to ship it 4 weeks later. Also having the computer shipped to Canada will thus delay the destination of arrival due to customs. The team picked up a new demoman by the name of "G0at" who has been a great asset to the team.
The team finally has their set roster and is ready to continue the season.With our two solid soldiers, PMB and Showstopper holding the front line, the crazy dodging skills of our medic Ax, the aggressive sticky jumps of g0at and Minty1, and the silent backcaps and flanks of our scouts, Jazzy, RubyIce, and Algaven we will be a dominant force this season.. Despite losing many great players the team is undefeated and pushes on beating the top teams in their division. This will be a great season for Control Gaming.
