Team Slayer on Lockdown was tied 25 each. Finally eXcellence pulled ahead, winning by 13.<\/p>\n<p>The next match was CTF on Sanctuary. eXcellence made quick work of USA and won that match 3 caps to none.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, King of the Hill on Lockdown. eXcellence once again showed it&#8217;s dominance. Not only winning by a large margin, but having map control. Snipedown had some simply SICK snipe shots. But would you expect anything less?<\/p>\n<p>So eXcellence moves on to play TCM, winners of the Gamescom Halo 2 Anniversary tourney. That match up promises to be a great one. Likely the best match up of the tourney. Since this is a double-elimination tourney, both teams have the opportunity to face each other again in the Finals.<\/p>\n<p>Who will come out on top?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><strong>-Sal<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With such heavy hitters on this team, was the outcome ever in question?\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32,57,59],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17078","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-conventions","category-halo-2-anniversary","category-halo-esports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17078","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=17078"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17078\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17086,"href":"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17078\/revisions\/17086"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=17078"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=17078"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=17078"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
