Since our
last edition of the Crew Cut, we mentioned a few Crews that were prepping to take their rivalries to the stage - hosted and live-streamed by Rockstar on our Twitch page. Soon enough, the floodgates opened and a range of Social Club Crews, from veterans to new jacks, reached out for the chance to settle their scores in public. Here's a proper war report of which Crews emerged victorious with their bragging rights intact and which are licking their wounds from the most recent round of Best-of-3 Crew vs Crew battles...
It was the
Ganja Outlaws Crew (WEED) who beat everyone to the punch when they challenged the
Rulers of Hell Crew (DEVL) to bump heads and trade bullets on the live stream. While the Outlaws are obviously a well-established Crew, DEVL - recently founded on March 5th - are not quite as known. In many ways, this was to be a matchup not far from the Clubber Lang vs Rocky Balboa title fight we were calling for - the underdog newcomers up against the seasoned vets.
The two Crews, eager to show off their marksmanship, tactics and teamwork, requested to play three rounds of Max Payne 3's signature Multiplayer mode, Gang Wars. Starting off in Nova Esperança, MaxPayneDev2 (remember that each Crew hosted a Rockstar player on their team in order to keep things fair and also to facilitate live-streaming) and the WEED Crew faced off with MaxPayneDev3 and DEVL. Although WEED edged the first chapter of All Out Warfare 31-27, DEVL took the second, third and fourth, securing an advantage in the fifth that WEED just could not overcome. Burning with anger in the São Paulo Bus Depot, the Outlawz were looking to make a statement. Rocking Dev3 right out of the gate, londonsfinestAJ2 certainly did just that. DEVL's elateduncle26924 just could not be stopped, racking up five kills almost immediately. Thankfully, THEBLUE3_D3VIL714 with 17 kills and sean_mallory with 15, stepped it up to capture the turf for WEED and some momentum. After losing in the second chapter, WEED went all out in the third, going on a 16-4 run straight away. DEVL came back with a vengeance and with 30 seconds left and a 49-48 WEED lead, the chapter became a punch for punch slugfest. With that, the Outlawz took it 65-50. They dominated even more so in the fourth and, in a very close fifth chapter, the Outlawz pulled through for the victory. At a 1-1 tie, this beef was to be settled in the final round.
Finishing things off in Hoboken, DEVL's cooljats led the way to a chapter one win, letting the folks in WEED know that they were not ready to get burned again. The second chapter saw DEVL destroying WEED yet again, 100-35. Despite strong efforts, the Outlawz just couldn't catch up and wound up losing Hoboken and thus the afternoon. Props to the victorious upstarts in DEVL for making WEED look blunted and burnt in the end - and to both sides for keeping everyone who watched the stream at the edge of their seats.
