BT manage to sneak in a nice rear attack against the NQV Archers (and Locks), but it's not quite enough! Well played all! _____________________________________________________________________________ +021221 2137 BNQT.wasteland StB - NKI/VR/Q Win wasteland_v1 / Wasteland: Armies Arena. 3v2: Baak & Two Saks, Nokilli & Ques- & vinylrake *** Best of 5 "Grab & Defend" Bacon: Baak/TS: 0, NKI/VR/Q: 2 *** NQV come in for the attack and their Cannons (*especially* that last one) are just decimating BT - right from the start! Confusion reigns supreme on Team BT and although it's a fairly close ending, NQV just keep the upper hand throughout. Nicely played NQV! :) _____________________________________________________________________________ +021221 2207 BTv Higher & StB - Baak Wins Higher & Deeper / Piled Higher & Deeper (light) FFA 3: Baak, Two Saks, vinylrake A little break while Queso fights fires (!) and NKI needs a break... Baak starts in the middle and defends for a little while before deciding to abandon it and lick his wounds. VR and TS go at it and VR goes for Baak's Archers - Baak comes back in and wedges himself between the ball and TS's incoming horde. It's enough for a Block & Steal! Good thing too, as those TS Dorfs blow everything away in the final seconds and the Post Game! lol! _____________________________________________________________________________ 021221 2226 BNTv Drowned K StB - Baak/TS Win Drowned Kingdom 2v2: Baak & Two Saks, vinylrake & Nokilli *** Best of 5 "Grab & Defend" Bacon: Baak/TS: 1, NKI/VR/Q: 2 *** BT come in with some seriously deadly Soulless (Dang! They hit that Wight *twice* - it would have been GLORIOUS! lol!), and despite an *excellent* "restrained-til-the-last-second" Ghol Pus Attack by NQV, BT take the hill by the Ball and never give it up. _____________________________________________________________________________ +021221 2244 BNTv Drowned K StB - Baak/TS Win Drowned Kingdom 2v2: Baak & Two Saks, vinylrake & Nokilli *** Best of 5 "Grab & Defend" Bacon: Baak/TS: 2, NKI/VR/Q: 2 *** BT take it to a new spot on the map and wait... Even though Queso is no longer in the Match, it seems like it with all those NV guys everywhere! :D BT fend off the NV Soulless and do a *nice* job systematically taking out the NV melee - it's touch-and-go at times, and comes down to a fairly close ending! Well Played All! _____________________________________________________________________________ $+021221 2305 BNTv Myopia_v1 StB - Baak/TS Win Myopia_v1.2 / Myopia Light 2v2: Baak & Two Saks, Nokilli & vinylrake *** Best of 5 "Grab & Defend" Bacon: Baak/TS: 3, NKI/VR/Q: 2 *** (NOTE: Originally started as a "Best of 7", this game became a regular Bacon tie-breaker when NKI needed to stop for the night.) Oooooh. Standard Bacon for all the marbles! Tense! :D A bit of a dogpile at the Ball since both teams start out relatively close. BT get a serious edge once they take out the NV Dorfs, but check out those NV Archers! Nice retreat tactic that confuses the heck out of BT! *And check out that one Archer shot by the one Archer BT had to give up on to consolidate their Stygs! lol! Notice the pre-shot chat! One for the books!* BT get the upper hand and *finally* hunt down Satan's Bowman! ;) Great Game All! :D _____________________________________________________________________________ +021221 2336 BQTv Redsand_v^ StB - VR Wins Redsand_v1 / Red Sand, Black Blood (Dwarven) Dwarf Rockets 2 FFA 4: Baak, Two Saks, vinylrake, Ques- VR is getting hammered by Baak, but still manages to infiltrate Baak's RD's via the Thrall Technique! lol! The Rain (Baak had Difficulty set to Legendary by accident...) is taking it's toll - *mainly* with poor TS! He's getting fizzled to death! ;) Baak sneaks in a nice Ghol attack against TS and then Q, and even pus'es Q's Thrall at the end to try and take it... ... You can just *feel* the dogpile and launch attempts approaching! lol! Check out the ending! OMG - Baak moves his JMen at the last second because it appears the Ball will most likely launch over their area - *and it does!* *BUT...* VR's Lone JMan - one that Baak was going to get before the one minute warning - is *right under it after Baak's JMen!* You can watch it go from Contested - to Baak - to VR! LOL!! Nice one VR!! :D _____________________________________________________________________________ *021221 2349 BQTv SLEEPYHO ^ LoH - Q Wins SLEEPYHO / Sleepy Hollow (slug-O-rama) Dwarf Rockets 2 FFA 4: Baak, Two Saks, vinylrake, Ques- Rocket Dwarves are left on by accident - but *man* is this fun or what?!? The Center area is *on fire* in this one! Q seems to have caught on *quickly* to the General Theory of Rocket Dwarves! lol! Watch Baak "Run the Gauntlet" to tag the Flag near the end! It's *tense!* ;) But here comes both TS *and* Q - straight for the Flag! Baak has *two* RD's on the hill coming in for the kill... *BOOM!* - Q gets them *both!* - *and* turns to nail TS's RD *just* before he tags the Flag! This guy then survives *two* rebounds to the chest! LOL!! Dang! ;) Great Game All! :D _____________________________________________________________________________ 021221 2359 BQTv Going_to_ KoH - Baak Wins Going_to_Town / Going to Town FFA 4: Baak, Two Saks, vinylrake, Ques- A Total BloodBath!! Check out Baak's *two* separate Pus Friendly Fire "incidents"! lol! Despite them, Baak still manages to keep enough time on the Flag! VR's Dorf is *devastating* and his Archers are Immortal! lol! Good one All! _____________________________________________________________________________ # 021222 0014 BQTv Green Par KoH - Q Wins Green Paradise v1.1 / Green Paradise FFA 4: Baak, Two Saks, vinylrake, Ques- A funky KoH with the Flag in the water! It's a "melee extravaganza" on this one - hard to tell those Stygs apart! ;) Baak fights *hard* to come in last (mainly with VR and TS! lol!) while Q has been patiently racking up the seconds! Nicely played! _____________________________________________________________________________ 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: Special Guest(s): "Queso" ______________________________________________________________________________
