Wizards versus Plus begins as a promising exciting 3mapper and ends as a w/o victory for Wizards. What happened? Follow the white rabbit...


Q2dm7 – Plus´ homemap. It was a strategical choice for Plus. Finnish dominating with railgun could easely handle Plus on any other map, but not on this and Plus proved after 20 minutes, that teamplay and a bit of luck can save your butt.
The map game started with a total domination by Plus. Despite Provi managed to snatch the very first RA, Plus killing Provi locked the map down for the first minute. Dx anxiously controlling RL was bad, a badass even. Careem and Nekro nicely supported RA area, taking almost 10 RAs in a row. Putka struggled a bit against Thaigo at SSG and HB areas.
After first five minutes Plus was pretty much ahead with the score 52:26. Only right after that Foen getting hands on rocket launcher cleared entire RA area out, giving a short map lockdown for Wizards and gain descent frag boost. The next five minutes both clans were pretty even, however Wizards managed to control RA a bit better, giving them better outcome.
Half was played and still Wizards were behind ( 67:78 ). Nothing much to tell about this part. Thaigo supported RA with his nice HB and SSG timing, while Provi with Syanid managed to do some good damage against Plus, while Plus managed to snatch some RAs just behind Wizards back. The best part of the play however were the very last five minutes. Wizards finally managing to take the lead by score and control over the map, started fragging. For a moment, i thought Plus lost it. But during last minute Plus with Dx lethal RL not only managed to equalize the score, but even gain a frag boost, which at the last seconds didn´t help Wizards to make a quick comeback.



Q2dm3 – Wizards favourite homemap. A beginning was destructive for Wizards. Putka claiming first quad, Dx taking control over railgun area and, of course, a small forgotten detail, Nekro claiming the very first invu. Plus locking the map down made 20 frags in a very first minute. After that Wizards tried to make a comeback by gaining frags frag by frag, but Plus still stood and fought for the victory.
The second invu claimed by Syanid helped Wizards to regain control and take the lead for some time. Provi finally managed to do his railwhoring thingie. Foen made quite a nice quadrun. After invu countdown Plus revived, they began a new fight saying: „We´re not giving up!“
Half of the second map was played and the score was a tie! – 82:82. And... Well, it´s whether Wizards cast a spell making Plus immobile for the rest of the play ( i think it was something like: „Niono pohere SANCTIMUS!“ – Too much Harry Potter ) OR Dx and Necro having pings over 250 and after a few time-outs just returned to Windows while Quake 2 running and started chatting with underage teeners via IRC. Careem decided to join Dx and Necro, only Putka, a true quaker stood still and fought against Wizards. He even managed to make 9 FRAGS during the play, while all the Wizards were quadding, invuing, railing etc.

So... I guess Plus gave up after all – It wasn´t their fault directly, inet f*cks at times, but well... Shit happens!



Wizards proposed to play a third map right away, because it was a rescheduled match and everyone were tired already etc... Q2dm1 was a choice. Dx and Nekro even agreed to play with these pings, Putka, however, as a quaker, wanted a fight, not a blowjob. He tried to get Siwy in as a replacement, then Careem took off... Anyway, making a long story short, it went down... Nekro finally got tired of this happening and quited, all followed the same. GG!
