Game 2 Snipers on Sanctuary. This game was wild. eX had the lead though they never got more than 6 up. At the last 20 seconds, VwS was down 43-47. They tied it 49-49 with a few seconds left. Until Ola picked up the last kill to win game 2.<\/p>\n

KotH on Lockdown is our game 3. Ola had some seriously sick Snipe head shots. eXcellence\u00a0took a commanding lead and had double points over VwS for much of the game. eXcellence continued to dominate so much so that they had enough points to win the game with more than 50 seconds left.<\/p>\n

This final game had more than 26,000 viewers!<\/p>\n
