I noticed that KTA and nmt were playing their round 7 game, so I went to spec. And for some reason I got an idea that I should write a report about this (for old time sake). So here we go.

First of all I didn't know a thing about nmt, except that they won CD 2-0. About KTA I have noticed that they are finally getting back to the shape they used to be back in 2002 when they won last Finnish q2 scene league (q2sl5). Not quite there yet but not that far either, so I kinda was expecting them to win this. First map was played on Char's ky2.ru, which was nmts home server and second was on Harva, KTAs home.

q2dm6 - The Lave Tomb on Char's ky2.ru - Tourney 27910 <> 62.205.174.67:27910

The first quad went to Dimmu, but he couldn't really do anything useful with it. Nmt managed to steal the second quad, but it died right away. Elsewhere KTA was holding rail/BA, and nmt done a nice job at quad/rl area. Finally fully boosted Dimmu got the fifth quad and did some nice damage with it by clearing BFG and also killed blaster guys from rail. Mostly because of that KTA took control. Seventh accidentally went to nmt and they made small come back with it, but boosted KTA managed to take next quads and they had 64-29 at that point. Next quad was taken by shai who managed to get him self to plus frags. And because of his effort nmt stopped KTA and they even started to catch up. Score after 15min was 86-66 for KTA and that was the closest score nmt ever got. After nmts small comeback their quadrunner died and Dimmu got his quadrhythm back and other KTAs got map control, in few minutes KTA increased their lead back to 40 and rest quads went to KTA. Final score was 137-86



q2dm1 - The Edge on Harva's Battle #1 no ace restriction <> 130.238.30.196:27910

On this one I expected that nmt would give better fight than on dm6, even tho they did a nice job there. But I was wrong. In the beginning KTA got rail and room control right away, and lift too... so they had the whole map. After 3min score was 25-5 for KTA. Whole KTA had rails at that point, thanks to Dimmus rail keeping. And therefore their lead was just getting bigger and bigger. Next few minutes were all about KTAs railing, so after 5min it was 43-11. And the railing didn't seem to stop. nmt got frags every now and then but KTA always had backup when one of them died. Only Jou was struggling at the lift, while KTA totally dominated room and rail. About 12min left and KTAs lead was gone up to 50 frags (75-25). Not much mote to say here, Dimmu controlled rail almost perfectly, even tho his aim wasn't too good today. And taegra with help of Offi kept the room. Only Jou still had problems at lift, which is understandable since arena/lower rl was pretty much the only place nmt could go. 6min left and score was 140-40. During last 5min nmt managed to get rails and even controlled rail for a while until Dimmu regained it again. Final score on dm1 was 188-69 for KTA.



Overall pretty clear victory for KTA, but q2dm6 wasn't that clear as score shows. Imo nmt did well at quad, which you can see from Jous score who kept RL there. But I saw some inexperience in their quadruns. They never went to rail even it was all KTA, and boosted KTA guys were the reason why they got raped so badly in the beginning and in the end. On dm1 game was pretty much over after first minutes.
