So tonight I decided I would take in charge that promising game Estonia vs Russia. Promising game but also f34red by the admins because it's known those teams aren't easy for the server search...
After some discussion I decided that the swedish server ergo gibbus was fair and there we went.
Q2DM2 - Tokay's Tower Russia's map
Right from the start Russia focused on the RA-lift which they secured very well. They were getting armours and rails/bfg to attack Estonians who were at the Quad.
Because of that, Estonia's quadruns weren't very successful and Russia lead the game for a long while.
Highlight on west who seemed to feel VERY at ease up the RA-lift, noone could come near his tower without getting a rocket in the face or a slug in the.. well you got it.
BUT ! At the quad the Estonia family was preparing something. shugg shown us the secret of the ownage quadrun receipe: take a quad, take a fully loaded SSG, add to this 3 innocent russian guys waitting on the floor of the RA-tower...
Now tune in the terminator song and you see shugg[i'll be back].. "QUAD DAMAGE" *now tune in the RATM song which is on Matrix OST* bam bam bam strike, shugg made a massively destroying quadrun which was decisive.
west was seeing his teammates getting killed one by one and he couldn't hit the terminator with his rail up the lift. Unfortunately at that moment, I alt+tabbed and when I came back I saw west wasn't at the lift anymore! Estonia had just had the RA and was still controlling the quad -> enough to reverse the russian domination and win the map... by 2 frags !
Q2DM7 - The Slimy Place (where there is no weapons) Estonia's map
I didn't know how good Estonia was on dm7 so I tought it would be a close game here too.
Quickly I realised the very good weapon sharing and teamplay for Estonia, they secured the RA, at first it was a weak base where Russia could sometimes enter and get frags.. but slowly it got strenghten by the steady HB-SSG providing of their mate.
Russia was at High RL and were still resisting pretty well. At a point, nice action by shugg again: 3 russians at the High RL smiling at him "hey d00d I bet you won't get us HAHA". But they didn't know that shugg had 200 armor and 50 shells in his SSG.. strafe strafe jump -> PAF PAF PAF.. no more russians.
The last 5 minutes, Russia kinda gave up and was running around the map.
Conclusion
GG, q2dm2 was simply amazing and close, on dm7 Estonia were simply the best. Too bad for some whining at the end but anyway GG
