Introduction
Friendly versus Annihilation Society. Nos was very nice as he let us to pick maps and suggested that match would be played @ 20:00 CET. Wubsies for that I must say. We played on aS server which has proven to be very good place to play as during non-match time it runs on public mode and I've heard it's rather popular clan style place to play TFC. 2kfort4 and Stowaway2 were today's maps, both quite strong for us tho I wasn't sure what kind of lineup we would have. Blackout and pneumatic cancelled so I and extacy were there to fill their big shoes. Dunno how it was but in warmup extacy's laggy HTV cable was doing ok. Match starte a but late as aS guys were lured by their warmup or somthing. Must have been a thriller.
1st round - 2kfort4
ViltZ TSP, DMW lift, me at basement HWG and sohlo as engy. Offence was korpse, primalco, Samus and extacy. Narri's fastie attempt was stopped by my mirv that was placed strategically on our deck, luv those mirvs. Our team got initial touch immediatly and were able to roll it home after few min struggle. aS offence had no teeth against our solid defence. One of their players got pissed (?) and left the server but came back later. Dunno what was that all about. Another two had some conn problems with pings 200+, kinda shame. Narri was offying basically all by himself like he said on the server. Once they got flag to midspiral as ViltZ crashed but we returned it pretty easily. Offence wasn't able to do shit in warmup but in match they brought three shine flaggaroonies, well done.
2nd round - Stowaway 2
DMW topresp, ViltZ RR heavie and me and sohlo as FR tag team. First time ever as solly in FR kännis-läpäl-kajareil. This setup worked nice in warmup and ViltZ really knows how to play his pos, so I as FR defence was able to concentrate on things that matter, 3-bags resupping
Both teams got their 1st about same time but we got rebound I think. Soon we had the lead and slowly we got it to 40 - 10. Some dude dropped and we cba'ed to idle as it was prac match so let everyone play but Acci gave some sarcastic comments about it but was silenced by Nos. Match wasn't goin anywhere after midtime so ViltZ and DMW started to hunt Narri's head for some crowbar kills :R Well they got them Because of fooling around (ViltZ' crowbar was rusty as hell also), aS started to get our sentry down more often etc and we had to return flag couple times from upper lift and 3-bags. At the end, there was three mins left and our flag was on the loose. We decided to keep that one so we deffed and deffed and deffed and soon it was in water and I think there was like everyone after the flag... except korpse who got freebie flag from aS flag room. There was like 20 secs or so left and aS just wasn't able to cap the damn flag even though it was sitting next to their deck so they kicked me and some others from the server. Ouch.
Summary
Accipiter was pissed like hell, "never against AT" he said and Grand stated that I broke my promise (?) about decent match. IRC whinage was horrendous but I missed it as I was banned from their IRC chan, the typical pattern. I really don't get it. The last flag was not going to change anything and if they would have cap it, they would be happy and all. But now we were able to defend it, and korpse dropped the surprise number #2 so all was hell. The whole match was suddenly waste of time (!?) because of the last three mins from 2nd round. Is it about egos ? Or that we didn't want to give them the last flag ? Or the thing that they got kinda owned in the end as korpse capped and they did not, alltho they tried like it was the last damn flag on the planet ? Or is it that, that competition (as in this case, race for the flag) is not allowed anymore and we should sip tea and say "there goes the flag". We're finns, we have used to give no room for our opponents, not one inch, not one second. If you want the flag, you have to fight for it, friendly match or league match.
