****************************************************************************** ** ** ** H'Pak Match Summary for 2002 1130: ** ** ** ****************************************************************************** _____________________________________________________________________________ +021130 2113 HNT Higher & ^ StB - TS Wins Higher & Deeper / Piled Higher & Deeper (light) Dwarf Rockets 3b NR WP FFA 3: HedgeSnake, Nokilli, Two Saks "No Rebound" Rocket Dwarves! Look out! ;) HS wails on TS's main force, but TS manages to hit HS's Rocket Dwarf. NKI is merciless against HS who is trapped on the high ground (this map has that unusual feature), leaving just one Zerk! Ouch! NKI moves the Ball to the edge, but it's *far* away from the rest of his carefully hidden troops! Check out the *simultaneous* exchange between NKI and TS just before one minute remaining! (TS *just* missed NKI right before this - singed his beard!) TS is all over the Ball at the end and HS slows down NKI with a final Wight attack... Brutal! _____________________________________________________________________________ +021130 2137 HNT Smells_1 ^ StB - TS Wins Smells_1.1G / Smells Like Heroes In Here (Champs 'n' Chumps) Dwarf Rockets 3b NR WP FFA 3: HedgeSnake, Two Saks, Nokilli Oh Man! "No Rebound" Rocket Dwarves in Smells! Yikes! :D HS runs smack into a TS Rocket and it's "Player Eliminated!" - OUCH!! NKI hits the Ball with a Rocket but can't Launch it very far - it pops right over TS's Rocket Dorf's Head! Check out TS's shot into the mass of his own and NKI's Ghols! lol! From there it's a tense stand-off of Rockets in the doorway - NKI sneaks in his Archer Hero, who just misses taking out TS's Rocket Dwarf, but it's enough of a distraction that NKI finally gets a shot on him and it's a direct hit! (Stuff is really flying in this one!) But NKI lets those TS Zerks get too close to him and tries one more time to Launch it - alas! Good one! _____________________________________________________________________________ 021130 2153 HNT wasteland StB - NKI Wins wasteland_v1 / Wasteland: Hero Arena. FFA 3: HedgeSnake, Nokilli, Two Saks Small fight between NKI and HS - followed by a pause - followed by a nice NKI sneak attack against TS! NKI takes the defensive spot and HS comes at him, ending with the final bizarre "Heron Healing Hero" - how many roots does this guy have, anyway?!? lol! FUNK: Check out HS's final Heron Hero!! Wow - is this guy hard to kill or what?! Look at NKI's final Damage! lol! _____________________________________________________________________________ +021130 2210 HNT Drowned K StB - HS Wins Drowned Kingdom FFA 3: HedgeSnake, Nokilli, Two Saks TS takes it and is quickly attacked by NKI - NKI manages to perch a couple of Soulless on that one little hill, lol! Once NKI gets inside TS's Dorf he is a serious threat. It's one big dogpile on the Bacon in the closing minute! HS brings in a head-on Ghol that causes confusion among NKI's Dwarves - but dang, these Dwarves are *really* tough! And suddenly HS's *entire army* is crawling all over the Ball, with his Soulless clearing the final TS Wight threat... Nice timing, HS! _____________________________________________________________________________ +021130 2228 BHNT sleepyho LoH - TS Wins sleepyho / Sleepy Hollow (slug-O-rama) FFA 4: HedgeSnake, Nokilli, Two Saks, Baak Baak has to go through TS and/or NKI to get to the Flag, and does somewhat more successfully through TS (though it still takes a toll). NKI creams him. Baak takes a Flag Stance, but is overwhelmed from three sides (although he does get a couple of good shots against TS). It's one big dogpile at the end - Baak manages to ignite HS's Satchels, and TS's Thrall Horde is just too solid to take apart. Nice, TS! _____________________________________________________________________________ 021130 2241 BHNT The Badla Stm - Draw - (NKI Wins, TS Wins, HS Wins) The Badlands FFA 4: HedgeSnake, Nokilli, Two Saks, Baak Baak gets hit with a *huge* attack of lag (decaying modem syndrome) and is playing a Slide Show... TS and NKI get all 15 through, and HS gets 14 through. Then there is a long pause at the end... HS forgot one! lol! Baak stands at the Flag and spreads out - far enough (he thinks) to auto-attack anyone coming in, since he can't really see what's going on... LOL!! HS's guy *just* makes it! A 3-way Tie! :D _____________________________________________________________________________ 021130 2259 BHNT Proving G Asn - Baak/TS Win (vs NKI/HS) Proving Grounds 2 Team: HedgeSnake, Nokilli, Two Saks, Baak Some good exchanges early, but NKI/HS are just picking away at Baak/TS - and that Warlock! Dang! ;) But Baak/TS get some good final shots in, including a critical Mortar shot that clears the way for the Baak/TS melee that have been waiting patiently... _____________________________________________________________________________ +021130 2313 BNT Let Wyrd ^ KoH - Baak Wins Let Wyrd Sort 'Em Out / Let Wyrd Sort 'Em Out Dwarf Rockets 3b NR WP FFA 3: Baak, Two Saks, Nokilli LOL! Rocket Dwarves with *no rebounds* are accidentally left on when Baak goes to host! Oh man... And this map is actually really good for this game! Perfect terrain for Rocket Dwarves! :D Baak spots NKI's melee and RD's them - twice! But NKI sneaks in a Heron and looks to hack apart *all three* of Baak's RD's! Baak pulls a "NKI Suicide Sak Maneuver" and takes out the Heron, leaving just one RD - but this one is HOT!! TS has a rocket that goes by *four* of Baak's units (including his last RD), exploding *just beyond* several Warriors. NKI has a rocket that is "blocked" (lol!) by one of Baak's Warriors - good thing too as this rocket had Baak's RD's name on it! Good one! _____________________________________________________________________________ 021130 2332 BN The Blade StB - Baak Wins The Blade Garden v 1.0 / The Blade Garden [Classic] FFA 2: Baak, Nokilli Baak is relentlessly pursuing NKI, and although he *completely missed* NKI's excellent "Wight from behind", his Dwarf and Archers are really on. _____________________________________________________________________________ 021130 2350 BN Talus StB - NKI Wins Talus / Talus Skirmish 1v1: Baak, Nokilli Bowmen Heroes... Ugh! ;) This one would have been *much closer* had Baak's Dorf not shot right into the middle of his own guys! lol! (This guy is a Dorf Hero?!? Not! lol!) NKI shreds Baak after that... _____________________________________________________________________________ +021201 0007 BN Talus StB - NKI Wins Talus / Talus Meek 1v1: Baak, Nokilli Baak gets in a perfect Pus Ghol Surprise attack, and is pushing into NKI's defending army - *but*, Baak is *five seconds late* to the Ball! OMG!! NKI and Baak were both wondering how that melee battle would have ended too - it would have been GLORIOUS! Nice, NKI! _____________________________________________________________________________ 021201 0046 BNT Talus StB - Baak/NKI Win (vs TS) Talus / Talus Slugfest 2 Team: Baak, Nokilli, Two Saks Pathfinder Dwarves (we finally found the mesh!) make this a tough one for TS - two players on a team is *much* easier here... ;) _____________________________________________________________________________ $+021201 0054 BNT Myopia_v1 KoH - TS/Baak Win (vs NKI) [KoB] Myopia_v1.2 / Myopia Live Ghols Rioting 2 Team: Baak, Nokilli, Two Saks Teams are accidentally left on - TS and Baak split duties between hunting down NKI and tagging the Ball. TS/Baak are ruthless against NKI - the final sequence of events is very funny and worth watching! :D _____________________________________________________________________________ +021201 0103 BNT Myopia_v1 KoH - Baak Wins [KoB] Myopia_v1.2 / Myopia Live Ghols Rioting FFA 3: Baak, Nokilli, Two Saks LOL!! The center hill is a No Man's Land in this one... Baak catches NKI on the Big Pile at the center, then TS ignites his own satchels with a Friendly Fire Pus accident that is devastating! Ouch! NKI gets a good double-Pumpkin shot on Baak that nearly evens it out (nice!), but Baak's Ghols are in rare form tonight... NKI and Baak *both* thought Baak's pursuing Ghol was armed - but he wasn't! lol! Check out the NKI Pumpkin that *bounces off his head* near the end! :D _____________________________________________________________________________ 021201 0111 BNT Knuckle o KoH - TS Wins [KoB] Knuckle of the Oasis v1.1 / Knuckle of the Oasis (Light) FFA 3: Baak, Nokilli, Two Saks TS grabs it, but it gets stuck - Baak comes in and injures TS, but not mortally! NKI's Archers Fire Arrow Baak's position and then those NKI Herons come in and shred away... It looks like NKI might take it, but suddenly TS is taking it! Wow! Good one. _____________________________________________________________________________ # 021201 0120 BNT BrokenArr^ Hnt - TS Wins BrokenArrow_v1 / Six Dwarven Cocktails (6 team slugfest) Dwarf Rockets 2 FFA 3: Baak, Nokilli, Two Saks Oh man - Rocket Dwarves hunting Wolves! :D NKI and Baak start too close, and this makes all the difference - couple of *funny* Rocket Dwarf exchanges! TS *just* takes it - Nice! - Dang those Wolves are *fast*! ;) _____________________________________________________________________________ 021201 0130 BNT Venice ^ KoH - TS Wins Venice sakcannon_warlock FFA 3: Baak, Nokilli, Two Saks Lots of give and take at the Flag - NKI is heading for Baak's Cannon with a lone Journeyman, and Baak thinks he'll get him with two Warriors - but Baak's forgotten that Journeyman can *heal* enemy Cannons! OUCH!! (Nice, NKI!) TS is just all over the Flag (as usual!) - nicely done! _____________________________________________________________________________ *021201 0158 BNT Going_to_ KoH - Baak Wins Going_to_Town / Going to Town (Dark) FFA 3: Baak, Two Saks, Nokilli (NOTE: After a Dead Game that was pretty darn close, we replayed this one) TS's Dwarves are *brutal*, especially that one!! Dang - he's nailing *everyone!!* After Baak is ripped apart by TS and reduced to *one wounded Stygian Knight*, he keeps this guy dancing on the Flag like you wouldn't believe! TS and NKI even get into it without attacking him! It takes NKI's Wight to bring down the Fred Astaire of Stygians... :D LOL!! _____________________________________________________________________________ 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 # = Deciding Game to win The Shield of Honor s = Slide Show Notes: ______________________________________________________________________________
