Aftershock takes out X-Factor
May 2, 2009 in Aftershock, PSP, X-Factor
The grandstands chanted “AF-TER-SHOCK AF-TER-SHOCK AF-TER-SHOCK” and many of us were reminded of the many years when people feared the name itself. During the chant, Nicky Cuba and Matty Marshall even noted on the webcast that “Aftershock was a team to feared because you were afraid to get punched in the face.”
The match broke down quickly with over 7 minutes left to play in the end. Shock took down X-Factor after many hard fought points. The match finished up 7-3 in favor of Shock after Drew Templeton took out Colt Roberts in a 1 on 1. Colt ran passed the flag, but it slipped just between his fingers and there was no chance to try a second time. Colt then got put into a small position in the Xbox giving Templeton the advantage. Drew ended up coming out of the Towers after snapping out Colt, got the flag and walked it in to finish the match.
The chatbox has been blowing up with fans discussing X-Factor and their lack of heart compared to previous seasons. Perhaps they will come back strong after these losses and be back better than ever in time for Chicago? Share your thoughts and feelings in the comments!

X needs to stop “practicing” against themselves, go grind more pro teams, actually practice as a full squad, stop these “Lite practices” they love to have and get back to the old way they were. Everyone of those guys have lost a lot of their sharpness except Archie. No Heart, No Family….no victory for them. Their minds aren’t in no matter how much “they say they are”.
Lets see if they all put their egos aside and grind much harder for Chicago…sucks that even the Bushwackers beat them at MAO…
