Austria vs North America
It was clear from the start that this game must be played home/away.
We started on austria server Liwest TDM, where austria ping around 20 and NA around 160.
First map : q2dm1
NA picked q2dm1 , so i was expecting big ownage from AUT due to their low pings. But NA played suprisely well, they were concetraing main on lift and mega, leaving rail to austria totally. With the power of rocket launchers NA holded score 20 frags behind austria. Only in the end flash and frika shucked out of rail and fragged more than before. Final score 112:67 for low ping team.
Second map : q2dm8
Austria picked map q2dm8(maybe they forgot home map on away server).
This map was very different. I was watching first 10 minutes when NA was dominating all map with rails. AUT could not do anything important with high pings. NA got quickly PS and fraghunt begun. After 10 minutes Meltdown.at overflowed or something. I overflowed too. But some lama on server who has rcon set password and at was playing with 3. So we both cant join server back! I dont know how match was going but i propose it was 4on3 and very boring game for both.
After the end of q2dm8 i asked AUT to play again q2dm8, but they did not have will to play again. NA has more frags and they picked server so AUT gived up last map to NA , because they did not have taste to get owned again.
I must say home/away games sux this way.
