TSA DiRT Showdown Tournament: Final Week

Third Place Play-Off

Sitorimon vs CarBoyCam

The Third Place Play Off started off with a closely fought battle in Knock Out. However, Cam was able dispel his losing streak, and end Sitorimon’s winning streak, taking himself 1-0 up. Unfortunately this left Sitorimon on the back foot for Head 2 Head and by the start of Race Off Cam had already secured 3rd place overall. Sitorimon couldn’t do much to stop Cam at this point, and the third place man completely dominated the Play Off 3-0.

Final

MadJunkBoy vs THLNetwork

The hotly anticipated final started off with a very close Knock Out which was won by THLNetwork in his refined vehicle choice. However, MadJunkBoy showed true class in Head 2 Head, beating THL by two seconds overall and levelling the scores! It would all come down to the Race Off then.

Although starting behind THL, MJB took to the lead very quickly and dominated the event for almost the entire five laps. That was until the final corner of the final lap where THL snuck up on the inside of MJB and took the win and the tournament!

So a huge congratulations to THLNetwork on becoming the new DiRT Champion! Commiserations to MadJunkBoy though who thoroughly deservers his second place. Hope to see you lot signing up to further TSAN events!

Thank you all for your support and see you next time!

  1. Wow – Well done THL!

    I think MJB was looking like the favourite going into the final too, so an underdog win? Does that count??

    & indeed commiserations to MJB who had a nice little run of success to the top & just got pipped to the post. Still, silver is still nice mate!

    So now that is all done & dusted, who’s up for some TSA meets & when can we start?? :)

    • yeahh i was thinking about doing some tuesday meets again, but there seems to be little interest in DiRT3 so i was thinking going for another showdown meet on tuesdays =)
      anyone up 4 it?

      • I was suggesting Showdown for Tuesdays, as a replacement for Dirt 3. :)

        As you say, i don’t think there is a massive amount of interest in Dirt 3 now, as most people that were going to have platted it (& gotten rid of it in some cases!).

        I have kinda given up on it myself – I may do the odd trophy here or there before trading it, but unless i can discover some way to stick tires to snow, i will never beat the bobsled & therefore never plat it. Not something i like to admit, but its kinda nice in a way, as i can dictate how much or how little time i put into it.

        But back on topic – Dirt Showdown meets. Tuesdays. About 8pm? Who’s in?

  2. Was there contact in the last corner?

    Well done chaps.

    • MJB simply went wide.

      • Uh oh, that’s a shame for MJB :(

        Credit to THL for keeping close enough to capitalise on his error.

        You thinking of arranging any other events Death?

      • havn’t u seen the MS:A thread Mr.Y? =D

      • MS:A thread??

      • Yeah, there is a thread in the meets section regarding Motorstorm Apocalypse &the next tourney.

        To be honest with you, i had no idea that existed either until it was mentioned here.

        Interestingly enough though, there appears to be no link to ‘TSA Meets’ in the forums at the moment. I had to reverse engineer it by jumping into one of my meets posts & then navigating back! :O

      • Ah, i found it – It’s been moved into the ‘Gaming Banter’ section as a subsection.

        I am right in saying that this used to be a section all on it’s own, right?

    • Even if there was contact, This is Sparta…er…Showdown!!!

      So its ok. :)

      • Exactly Forrest :)

        and to Youles I’d come back tomorrow ;) or just check the forums even :P TSA Meets people! Or actually you could just listen at the end of the video?

      • Can’t listen at work so apologies if I missed something

      • Yeah, i don’t tend to listen at work either – Tends to get me in awful trouble when people ask me about work i am supposed to have done though! :P

  3. well done to THL!
    and don’t feel bad about me, this is only my 2nd final and my 2nd final loss! :P

  4. Well done THL, that was the best way to win it!
    Unlucky MJB

  5. Well played and congratulations THL and comiserations MJB unlucky on that last corner there one again nice vid and commentary DIF lovin the tune at the end thought i was watching The Running Man or something for a second. ;)

  6. Congratulations Tom, at last the middle step of the podium from the usual one step to the left or right in racing tournaments. I must admit though that I had JunkBoy down as favourite to take it…he is definately a level above when it comes to offroad arcade racers, so unlucky to him, but congratulations on the Silver. ;)
    Also well done to Captain James Kirk for the coverage of the whole tournament. ;)

  7. Thanks for the well wishes, was a great tournament that was expertly organised by Death_In_Flamez. Great final video too. There definitely wasn’t any contact on the last corner and the accident earlier in the same race was simply as a result of me clipping the wall on the inside.

    MJB was an ace character to race against and in the meats. T-Bones are now officially Tea-Bags and I can swear in Swedish now! Great fun against all the other competitors too!
