There are many commanders that have tried to assert their dominance over the battlefields of Company of Heroes. Over a titanic eight year 'war of attrition' many have come, many have fought, and many have failed. Greats of the game such as Sepha, SiberanPlatoon, or DevM have asserted their dominance at one time or another. But this is not that time.
A new breed of players is evolving, that have only known Company of Heroes 2 - a game that is slowly emerging to be an excellent competitive experience. These players are unfazed by the supposed flaws of this new title in its first year; they don't hark back to glory days gone-by, instead they hunger for the chance to compete.
On Saturday 1st of March at 20:00GMT two players have that chance, the chance to reign supreme, the power of the acknowledgment of their peers, and the prestige of final victory.
This tournament has been a grueling month-long contest, we've seen some undoubtedly epic encounters, and some truly brutal contests - a legacy that will weigh on both players shoulders heading into the final. There can only be one winner, only one man can take the spoils of their conquest, and defeat will be crushing and absolute.
The Players
Jesulin - tourney record: eight wins two defeats.
Jesulin cruised into his game with Helping Hans with a growing self assuredness, he was tested by one of the best in the game in those matches needing all five games of the series to win. He came out the other side scarred and bloodied, but non the less victorious. His consistent style of play puts an emphasis on late game armour, but he he's shown a maturing strategical depth that makes him a possible favourite for Saturday's clash, depending on who you ask. - Playercard.
mTwCataclaw - tourney record: eight wins.
This maverick young commander has risen through the ranks quickly after graduating from Dota 2. He famously beat Lollipop live on stream in the game's first months and shocked many in his aggressive command and cut-throat tactics. Beating his opponents in straight games he's undefeated in the field of combat, and a very real threat to his opponent when they draw swords tomorrow. - Playercard.
Interview with mTw.Cataclaw:
Of note is that he now represents the mTw e-sports organisation, which is a great sign of growth in the competitive side of the community.
The Live Cast
Making strides in the technology of Company of Heroes streaming these games will be cast 100% fully live, no replays will be used.
Making this possible is Janne252 a prodigious coder on COH2.ORG who has made observer mode a reality. Special maps have been made that have two player slots and four observer slots. Fog of war is removed for the observers and the building units, commander choice, and resources of the two players are shared to the observer slots.
Interview with Janne252:
A guide on how to use these maps is being made by Janne for the guides section of COH2.ORG check back in the future to use these maps in action. Big thank you to Janne252!
Also community legend Rogers will be 'sending' the footage of the games in flawless 1080p, this will rectify the technical issues the casts have suffered in the past.
Join A_E, IpKaiFung, Imperial Dane, and Rogers for a thrilling company of Heroes experience as we watch the action unfurl 100% live!
