Matt “teh0mega” Reiter played as the “Space Cadets” and Gordon “Lethal Mongoose” Cooper as the “Teamsters” in the final match that was played on a snowy landscape with Artic Seas and what very closely resembles the Titanic sinking in the background, complete with old school English looking flag and rotating props hanging in the air as the stern protrudes at a dangerous arc.

The match was off to an interesting start as the Lethal Mongoose and his Teamsters took a bazooka to the space cadets to start things off, but didn’t get much damage and left 2 of his worms in very dangerous waters. teh0mega and his Space Cadets took advantage of the situation and fired right back by parachuting down to where two worms were sitting on the edge and placing dynamite on them to send two of the teamster into the drink, and we all know worms can’t swim, so they were fish food.  There was some attempted volleys of hand grenades and bazooka rounds between the two, including one of them breaking out the homing missile to dislodge the other from the top of a signpost, and a beautiful airstrike performed by the teamsters to do damage to a couple of the Space Cadets at once. The Space Cadets retaliated with a bunker buster and dropped it directly on one of the Lethal Mongoose’s worms’ heads, causing significant damage.  A last ditch airstrike was called in my Lethal Mongoose and his Teamsters, but failed to hit their target with anything but a little fire damage from a blown up oil drum.  Teh0mega tried to fire back and launch a grenade but ended up pelting his own worm in the head and causing one of them to TNT into a tombstone with a shrill death scream bringing the worm count 3-2, still in teh0mega’s favor . Another homing missile from Lethal Mongoose and his Teamsters did some serious damage to one of the space cadet worms, but it was too little too late as Teh0mega quickly sent in some Baaaaaa-d news in the form of an exploding sheep to drop both of Lethal Mongooses remaining Worms to 14 health.  Lethal Mongoose tried to Ninja his way out, but ended up bouncing next to a mine sensor and sending his own ninja worm to his exploding death. Teh0mega finished off Lethal’s last worm with an airstrike barrage as the final match came to an end in a destructive blast, what was left of Lethal Mongoose and his Teamsters worm crew.

In the end Matt “teh0mega” Reiter was crowned the Worm Champion of the NW Lanfest and received a Saboteur prize package consisting of the Saboteur, a Strategy guide, and a rare 1941 Replica Morini Zippo Lighter donated by myself. It was sure a great way to end a day of worm battling for all involved, and it didn’t stop there, there were people playing worms for the entire LANfest and even up until the last hour of the event you could hear people having a good time with this great game that provided fun and humor nonstop.

A big thank you was expressed by everyone at the LAN event, and the select group that was given Worms Reloaded keycodes was even recorded showing their gratitude to Team 17 and Gamers Daily News for bringing this great tournament and fun game to the NW Lanfest. The organizer of the NW Lanfest, John “Pancake” Motter was overheard saying “Oh, the Wormanity” during the tournament and also expressed his own sincere thanks to Team 17 and Gamers Daily News for their sponsorship.
