Surprising and close game won by a fresh Ukraine over asleep UK
As Ukraine is a new team in NDML, we were all waiting to see what they were made of. I never thought they could beat UK to be honest and -maybe- UK underestimated them a bit.
Ukrainians were all in a cafe to play this match, they had a slight ping disadvantage though.
q2dm2 - Ukraine map choice
Ukraine got the control of the RA-Lift almost directly when the match began, Blaiziah was there to keep it and shown great knowledge of that pos.
UK kind of gave up the RA and focused on quad where they managed to get it most of the time, unfortunately for them, their quadruns were often stopped at the root by smoke who was tooled up with rail or bfg.
I think all UK players got their try at quadrun, Orion and Pegleg's ones were the most dangerous for Ukraine.
Sometimes, Ukraine also managed to get quads thanks to a high pressure put by Part1zanho at the RL lift.
Ukraine won this map and shown a great teamplay and map knowledge.
q2dm3 - UK map choice
There again, Ukraine got the best start by taking the first Quad and the first Invul.
Muhaha aka Zbone kept the RL position very well (for the first 10 minutes at least because I had to go eat after).
UK got their secret weapon here: Pegleg who was railing everything. It took a long time before he got killed and thanks to him, UKies could get rails.
The score was very close, Ukraine had most of the quads and invul but UK had a great rail power.
Sometimes Ukraine managed to kick Pegleg out of the rail and Biplan took over his pos.
__d34d will write the end of the report because I had to go eat after 12 minutes.
Conclusion
I think UK wasn't prepared enough to play Ukraine who were well organised.
Also, I'd personally have switched zilla with drex on q2dm2 and vice versa for q2dm3.
