Eurogamer readers spank Valve at L4D News
PC Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese
Last night a quartet of hardened Eurogamer readers soundly beat Valve at its own game, Left 4 Dead.
Yossarian, Psychokitten, MattyB2007 and Gl3n (who's shot me before, the madman) beat the Chet Faliszek-lead Valve gang by 2534 points to 1197.
"I am not sure what they are telling you, but we totally won... Yeah, that's it, totally won," reeled Faliszek.
"They beat us in the first map because of some poor Hunter handling and we never recovered. Past that it was a pretty close and balanced game, which always makes for a fun time."
Gl3n, Eurogamer pin-up, added: "I was just saying yesterday how the game didn't feel scary or at all like survival-horror anymore. But it was safe to say that I was completely bricking it on the first map there!
"Really excellent game," he said. "It was close and both teams were 'über tight'. I guess our lot just had the luck."
Round scores were as follows:
- Death Toll 1: Valve 91 - 900 Eurogamer
- Death Toll 2: Valve 714 - 1321 Eurogamer
- Death Toll 3: Valve 91 - 82 Eurogamer
- Death Toll 4: Valve 33 - 33 Eurogamer
- Death Toll 5: Valve 196 - 198 Eurogamer
Well done, boys, you've done us proud.
Incidentally, all this Left 4 Dead commotion coincides with the release of the free Survival Pack DLC on Xbox 360 and PC.
Are you excited about Left 4 Dead on PC/Xbox 360?

I enjoy playing Left 4 Dead a lot but it is really hard to find a balanced versus game.

That is actually pretty cool. My rusted cynical heart has been warmed. Well done all.

@ DDevil: "Great tournament and a well deserved prize. Glad to see we lost to the eventual victors, and even better to see them stuff Valve as well :-)"
In fact we only lost to the two teams who ended up in the final. We only beat one team the whole tournament as well, but I'm still going to count it. Well done lads and lass! |

Yeah, Brainboy really ought to get a mention for actually being one of the main team members (right up until the Valve match) who won the tournament!
