As I said before, this match means more to me than JJ2WC itself. Since our encounter way back in 1999 or 2000, we have been enemies. ÇC and GpW members could never get along and we were always flaming eachother. My Co-Leader COOLM@N and I were always on the front row with these fights, usually facing Shadow and Newspaz. After the years, things have cooled down and we became rivals rather than enemies. Shadow and I have admitted to eachother that we were acting really childish and stupid back then. But since early 2002, we have always been hoping to get a clanwar ÇC vs. GpW to fight it out once and for all. Even although ÇC'ers and GpW'ers are getting along really nicely nowadays, the strong desire to face my old rivals never faded away.

And there was our chance in 2005; JJ2WCII. Originally, the warteam was going to be Grytolle - Sephiroth - Squirrel, simply because they were supposed to be the best players in Nuclear Afterblast in ÇC. Both Sephiroth and Squirrel were unable to play at the arranged time though. A good thing about ÇC is that we have enough warteam players (7) to fall in for people who can't play. This was my chance. I had taken a rest from JJ2 about three weeks ago, but I decided to come back earlier than planned. I found myself better and more motivated than ever before. Monday and Tuesday I didn't play any other level than Nuclear Afterblast. And out of the about seven training matches I played, I didn't lose a single one. And so I was able to force my way into the warteam.

In the 20 minutes before the game began, I had to pee three times. I was that nervous. This was going to be "IT", my most important hour at JJ2 ever. I felt so different than I normally would, about to start a match or clanwar. Something inside of me told me that I just "HAD" to win this match, and give everything I have. Then the game began, after a bit of waiting for SuperJazz. It took us some time (about 10 minutes) to really get into the game, and I was happy to reach a 3-1 lead in the first round. All three of us did a good job. But the second round, was just amazing. After a while I expected that we'd get 3-1 again, but in a relatively short time, Gry and I were able to score four more points to add to our total. Our teamplay and our timing were great! Yasco did well too. 10-2, what a result. A deserved victory for the Cracco Clan, but more than that, a personal victory for myself. If ÇC gets far this tournament, that's nice, but having defeated GpW is already the ultimate victory for myself. The old rivalry between the Cracco's and the Guru's has finally been settled. I'm happy. I have reached my goal on JJ2...

On a sidenote, I'd like to dedicate this victory to my old best friend and Co-Leader COOLM@N (aka HikariCM), for the reason mentioned above.
GG.
