Introduction:

I was asked by Scooby to admin this match because he wanted a good report… Well I don't know if it's good but it's late again… I tend to become lazy for such things these days.
Anyway, this match was played late night (23:00 CET) and I think wasn't as good as it could have been. None of the maps were "rapes" but sYnth were dominated all the time.

Q2DM1 - sYnth map choice

This was a classic dm1 match and actually very enjoyable. Wizards got an early advantage because they managed to secure the Room almost directly while sYnths were all regrouped at Rail. This scenario repeated often during the game, Thaigo was doing an awesome job at Room and he seemed to feel like a fish in the water on this map. Provi was struggling to secure the Rail and never really managed to clean it totally however he managed to provide (haha) his teammates with railguns all along the game and it was a determining factor on this map.
Assasin performed several good shots from Rail to the MH which allowed his mates to take it over few times.
When 5 minutes were left, the score became closer because sYnth had the Room and the Rail secured. But Thaigo managed to clean the room again and Wizards finished the map by increasing their frag counts again.



Q2DM3 - Wizards map choice

Wizards are known as the current best team on dm3 and they proved it again that night. Assasin and M0RPH-X tried hard to stop Provi at rail, and indeed he didn't manage to rape as hard as usual… But still, he got the upper hand in all of his rail duels with them and he had his usual MH to rail pattern well settled. Actually the game was pretty close at most place but what decided the outcome was Wizards' use of the powerups.
They got all of the invul (and I think it was Thaigo for all of them), Foen and Thaigo got many quads despite Scooby who did a very good job there helped by Mkuh.
But Thaigo performed deadly quadruns throughout the whole game and even if sYnth could secure the rail every now and then, Thaigo was there to kick them out every minute.



Q2DM2 - sYnth map choice

After the usual whines, the game started and it was Wizards who got the control of the RA at first, leaving sYnth at Quad. The score was pretty close and for several minutes sYnth had the upper hand (they managed to boot provi from the RA several times but never for a long time). Scooby was fighting hard at Quad but after 10 minutes, Wizards still had the RA secured with provi performing some impressive vertical railings again and on the Quad side, Thaigo managed to take the control of the MH lift while Foen secured the RL lift several times, which allowed both of them to rape sYnth who were left without any place to hide.



Conclusion:

I noticed several things during this match, the first is that Thaigo (despite his whine) totally rocked the place on all maps. Another one is Wizards teamplay which is absolutely impressive. Then about sYnth, it was kinda visible that they weren't very motivated… I don't know if it's because some of them couldn't get on ventrilo but M0RPH-X seemed to enjoy himself, fooling around on the maps, smiling here and there. Mkuh made several good actions but he was extremely unlucky (or rusty?) and missed a lot of things also. Assasin and Warrior seemed to be OFF unless they had railguns (the last being rusty as well), and finally, Scooby battled hard for his team but he also seemed a bit unmotivated.
