****************************************************************************** ** ** ** H'Pak Match Summary for 2002 0601: ** ** ** ****************************************************************************** _____________________________________________________________________________ +020601 2204 BNT Titus_Gro StB - Baak Wins Titus_Groan / Titus Groan (Dark) FFA 3: NKI-Vaal, Baak'lor, Terd St. Ain Wow this is one of those *tense* games!! Great units on this map including Fetch, Dwarf Heroes and Wasps! Comes down to a Bacon Launch and a NKI Wasp that gets the Bacon hung up by a tree at the last second! Great Game!! _____________________________________________________________________________ 020601 2233 BNT Boil and StB - Baak Wins Boil and Bubble / Boil and Bubble FFA 3: Baak'lor, NKI-Vaal, Terd St. Ain Baak grabs the Bacon to defend - he and NKI have an Archer war and Baak's Archers decide to chase NKI's Dorf! Doh! TS sneaks in some Ghols at the last second and perform a picture-perfect Steal - but it's not enough to keep it as it gets stranded in some deep water near Baak & NKI. Great Game!! _____________________________________________________________________________ 020601 2244 BNT Quadv21 LoH - TS Wins Quadv21 / The Quad FFA 3: Baak'lor, NKI-Vaal, Terd St. Ain TS opts for a huge Warrior squad - the deciding factor this time! _____________________________________________________________________________ 020601 2302 BNT Green Par^ StB - TS Wins Green Paradise v1.1 / Green Hell FFA 3: Baak'lor, NKI-Vaal, Terd St. Ain Sak Cannons! Oh yeah, baby!! NKI's Cannons are taken out quickly by a swarm of TS Spiders - in fact, NKI is reduced to one wounded Zerk early in the game - yikes! ;) TS does an excellent job defending the Bacon - all Baak can do is get in a last second post-game Cannon shot that's kinda funny! ;) _____________________________________________________________________________ +020601 2315 BNT StoneHear LoH - Baak Wins StoneHeart_return / StoneHeart: Pathfinder Battle FFA 3: Baak'lor, NKI-Vaal, Terd St. Ain OMG there are no casualties in this game until 0:23 remaining! Then it comes down to *one tense final battle* where it seems like it's going to slip out of Sudden Death and be someone's victory over and over and over!! Check out the death of one of Baak's two final units - a Dorf Pathfinder - his explosion on death kills NKI's Heron and decides the game! Whoa! Great Game!! _____________________________________________________________________________ 020601 2350 BNT Borogove_ StB - TS Wins Borogove_v.1.0 / Rain of the Borogove (4 start) FFA 3: Baak'lor, Terd St. Ain, NKI-Vaal Baak grabs the Bacon and we find out just how fast a bre'Unor is! lol! It's TS that defends it throughout the game, however. NKI comes in and fights him most of the game while Baak picks at him from behind - but Baak runs out of time and doesn't show up at the Bacon! _____________________________________________________________________________ +020602 0010 BNTv BrokenArr StB - TS Wins BrokenArrow_v1 / Six Dwarven Cocktails (6 team slugfest) FFA 4: Baak'lor, Terd St. Ain, NKI-Vaal, vinylrake TS grabs the Bacon and lodges it ever-so-nicely in the deep part of a pond where it remains for the rest of the game. It's a battle between VR & TS and Baak's Ghols are in true form against VR and NKI's Dorfs. But the way that Bacon is lodged, it's the Thrall and JMen that decide it! Truly a Great Game!! _____________________________________________________________________________ *020602 0034 BNTv Myopia_v1 LoH - Baak Wins Myopia_v1.2 / Myopia Live Ghols Rioting FFA 4: Baak'lor, vinylrake, Terd St. Ain, NKI-Vaal This game is INTENSE!! Check out the ending on *this one*!! WOW!!! Comes down to Baak picking up a TS Ghol Sword and chucking it at NKI's last Ghol at the flag in Sudden Death!! Watch *carefully* (at 1/8th speed) and you'll see that it gives Baak an extra hit on NKI - which he desperately needed because NKI ends up getting the first hit in hand-to-hand between them!! ... Baak's last Ghol ends up with only two Red Bars worth of health! GREAT GAME!! _____________________________________________________________________________ +020602 0046 BNTv StoneHear LoH - Baak Wins StoneHeart_return / StoneHeart: Pathfinder Battle FFA 4: Baak'lor, vinylrake, Terd St. Ain, NKI-Vaal Deja Vu all over again! lol! This is a *tense* Sudden Death that comes down to a NKI Dorf, a Baak Dorf, and a TS Maul. NKI targets TS, Baak targets NKI - NKI's out, now it's just Baak and TS - and there are a few seconds where TS almost takes the game as Baak moves away from the flag! - but Baak didn't get targeted by TS's Maul so he can get one more shot in and with a satchel on the ground it's enough to take out TS - watch the end though as the explosion blows up Baak's Dorf just after the game! Wow! _____________________________________________________________________________ Legend: * = Game Of The Week + = Game Of The Week Runner Up $ = Deciding Game to win The Sacred Sword & Axe of Shaal'a Manx ^ = Deciding Game to defend The Sacred Sword & Axe of Shaal'a Manx s = Slide Show Notes: There were some ** REALLY GREAT GAMES TONIGHT!!! ** Very hard to pick the GOTW out of these - especially between the Stoneheart games and the Myopia game... ______________________________________________________________________________
