Klown Kolledge April Rocket League 1v1 Tournament Results
Here we go again, and yes the crazy, unexpected, "What the hell happened?", "Are we really doing this?", and "Will we have enough players to even play?" moments did ensue.
It's Tournamant time again at the Kolledge with the Klowns warming up with some free play rounds to get everyone in the mood and more importantly, make sure everyone was here. Seeing that they would be a player short, there was some discussion of possibly having one of the head Klowns play, reaching out to past players, or just going with three rounds for the tournament. It was suggested that RS see if Little RS would be able to play. With a quick check with Mrs. RS, Little Rs, who will go by Tinker Captain, was given the green light. With Icky, Galaxy_Sayber and 0xtian also ready to go, the tournament was set to start.
The opening round of the tournament saw Icky facing off against Tinker Captain. Icky quickly showed the Klowns his skills by getting the first two goals of the game. Tinker Captain, though young, was able to cut the lead in half with a kickoff goal. Though strong on following kickoffs and scoring a long shot goal, Tinker Captain was notable to overcome Icky and lost the first game 4-2. Icky started game two off with a goal, but Tinker Captain was able to tie it up with a kickoff. Though Tinker Captain showed some impressive defensive moves and saves, Icky was able to outmaneuver him with some drifting skills and scored three more times.
