I informed both dahang and damiah that who ever wins in their game will have to play me in the grand final today because i wont be able to play anymore for a long time :/ starting school again, together with the work i have the schedule is nuts... thats why i also wanted to finish the league by the 22nd/24th! Anyways, let me speak about the game itself:
I proposed damiah to play his map 1st or even let him set the order in which he wants to play our game but he refused and asked me to toss a coin... heads and tails... ultimatelly my map was to be played 1st
ztn2dm3 despite the fact i overestimated myself i must admit that damiah played well and solid... i dont want to take anything away from him but since i write all of these reports from my own perspective i must say that i gave out this map... i think that eventually we both were shocked, him that he won this map with such a ping disadvantage and me that i can perform so bad... i hesitated and waited for too long while i was confident that i will attack 1-2 times and hit 3-4 rails in a row and seal the deal... guess what? i havent hit a shit! :)
q2rdm2 last time we played on this one damiah won and since its his best map after q1dm1 and what i showed on ztn2dm3 most ppl including damiah i think and maybe even me thought that its gonna be a clean victory for damiah and overall lead 2:0... i guess we all were wrong and somehow i managed to slow down the game when i lost few frags and damiah couldnt overcome his ping disadvantage that i consciusly used in chain battles :P maybe the key to the victory was stopping the usage of railgun that today wasnt definitely a gun i should have used :D
ptrip RAPED RAPED RAPED!!! NOT :) im gonna tell one thing... choosing this map was the dumbest thing i could have done :D i dueled on this map few times since my departure from europe and the thought that i can use the ping advanatege (while im morevoer not hitting a shit on the particular day) to fulfil my goals was so stupid that i still dont get it why i did what i did :D even though i used timers same as damiah did, it was basically some pointless clicking and ignoring whatever was happening on the map, and damiah.... damiah was just running around, hitting rockets, rails and chaining my white ass :DDDD i dont wanna say that i gave up after a while cuz im not this type of guy, but rather i tried 2 run around and shoot as much as i can to finally get used to the game and get into the dueling mood :)
q2dm1 last time we played it i was really glad that i didnt lose it, but its dm1... ping isnt sucha an essential thing here and we both; me and damiah knew about it! as well as the fact that he is THE SHIT on this map and me... lets say that i dont think it is the best map for dueeling ever ;)))) i spawned at ssg 1st while damiah by the slugs or somewhere there.... and while i was running to the room i fell down on the fuckin stairs aehaehh even though i was like WTF?:D i didnt give up and never had this thing in my mind while we played... what in my case is a really forgotten and rare feeling on this map :) i must say that i am surpised even now that i didnt give up when i was losing... thats how i dislike dueling on this map :DDDD i simply played it toooooooo much in my life :D eventually i won... and to be honest i wasnt happy or something that i won... i was happy that i didnt lose!
Score after 4 maps Scooby 2:2 Damiah - i tossed a coin again and damiah decided who drops the map 1st... i was the "lucky" one, i dropped q2dm3 and the decision whethever we play aerowalk or ztn2dm2 as the 5th map was up to damiah... and so damiah decided that it will be:
ztn2dm2 maybe that dm1 victory or maybe the feeling that i finally started to hit some rails gave some confidence that despite the lack of practice on this map (same shit as with ptrip and generally all other maps than dm1 and ztn2dm3) i can do it and close this league in the first best of 5 (since i was comming from the wb i had the advantage of the previous won against damiah) and needed only one best of 5 to win the league while damiah required two of them; played slowly and wisely, tried to avoid pointless exchanges and control the mh once i finally took it... also a lot of rockets i spamed all over the map made their way and turned out my predictions to be correct :)
Bottom Line eventually i sealed the deal on the 5th map and won the entire game with a little comeback from 1:2 to 3:2, as i spoke later with damiah he said that he is satisfied with what he has done during the entire season - he wanted to win with dahang and me in the league, he managed to beat dahang twice and made it to a 5 mapper against me - and what can i say about myself what havent been said yet? i am happy that i didnt lose dm1... again:) and i have proven myself that after 10 years of playing this game i still can use my brain in duels and show some balls when its needed :)
