Happy that some people noticed this match. I posted this comment on the EDL thread:

I think the only thing Opti showed here on "his map" is the EXACT SAME thing he showed on ptrip: incredibly accurate defensive railing. That's all. imho, Purri pushed him around Rage the same way he did on Ptrip. Purri set the pace, dominated RA's, and best of all, made the demos entertaining.
The ztn2dm3 score is incredibly misleading and suggests a tense, thoughtful back n' forth match. As a spec it was frustrating watching Purri running into shit from moving too fast and somewhat reckless.
In this case, running into well-placed Opti slugs. And when you're near god-like with rg, you don't need to hit many shots to keep the score close.
Purri's smothering offense>>Opti's lethal defense

**I would edit the above and make an exception for the last two minutes. I agree here with Damiah that Purri needlessly attacked and risked too much doing so. Some of those attacks looked downright silly (When he charged with GL and later when didn't take the lift above RL and tried to stand and rail at Opti's rockets.)
So I'm not sure how anybody can justify calling a player's style "hiding" when he ran the other player around the map for 13 of the 15mins of the match.
The only lucky thing Purri did was to relentlessly charge -- by doing so, he took out 70% of Opti's game, leaving "only" a defensive railing +back strategy. Opti is so dangerous on ztn2dm3 that he almost freakishly won using only that 30% of his game!
Well if purri didnt attack so much at the end, the score would have been bigger (couple really stupid attacks i must say . Now he almost lost becouse of that.
