Highlander Prem Bonanza: Colony vs SNSD
November 25, 2012
Highlander Season 3
Another weekend comes and goes, leaving a long soggy trail of faded promise and forgotten memories; however, every highlander aficionado will have been rubbing their hands together in expectation for tonight’s showdown, counting down the hours toward one of the biggest match-ups of the season, Colony vs SNSD. SNSD are on an unbeaten run after a convincing victory over the Max Play Highlander Team and enjoying all the perks and privileges being #1 has to offer. I sent star highlander journalist Peter ‘Hildreth’ Parker to get me pictures of Spiderman, however all he came back with was a statement from SNSD all-star Linus, which is a little better than nothing:
Linus – “Colony has been our longest-lasting rival. Ever since the highlander challenge they’ve posed a rather dangerous threat. They’ve had their ups and downs, and I think their performance often depends on the line-up they use, and their concurrent mood. They’ve beaten Parrot Gapers , which quite frankly surprised us – but then they lost to Max-Play. One thing I noticed is that Colony is always much better when Zoob plays. And it’s their home map Upward (the map they actually beat us during the HCC final) so I’m expecting a close game at the very least.”
Colony are a different kettle of fish, after a mixed start to the season featuring a merciless drubbing from the renowned Max-Play Highlander Team and a hard-fought victory over the infamous Parrot Gapers, things could be going better and a hell of a lot worse. Colony do have star sniper mInd to fight their corner, and it remains to be seen how he will fare versus Ginger Swedish Man-Child TviQ as they battle head(shot) to head to determine who emerges as the head(shot) honcho of the European Sniper Scene. I chat to TviQ for his take on the challenge:
TviQ – “I Cheat”
