Ukraine chose dm2/dm7, Sweden chose dm1/dm3. Pings were even on madherosquad.de Q2TDM #01|62.75.224.125:27920.
Special thanks to __d34d for giving me the admin code.
First map: q2dm2 - Tokays Towers
Ukraine controled the RA for the first minutes and managed to escape Sweden's attacks and grenades nicely. Their armoured players couldn't really make a difference and got killed most of the time by the Swedes. Their railguns were used wisely by purri who seemed not to miss (who is that guy? he's pretty good). Still the score went up pretty even while Ukraine had RA. After a while Sweden managed to take over RA. The map got locked at this point and Sweden started spawnfragging. Virtuablaiz from Ukraine managed to keep his deaths low but the rest of his team was lost. Optimizer and an armoured purri shared quads and fragged hardcore. Sweden didn't lose the RA for the rest of the game and so they assured their victory. Motm: purri for doing a great job on the whole map (quad/ra).
Second map: q2dm1 - The Edge
Sweden's choice and known as one their best maps. Most people would have expected a massive rape here but nothing was less true (for the first minutes at least ;)).
Ukraine focused on the rail and managed to get a quite a few frags from there. Bubkez was ruling on the lift, which Ukraine had seemed to forget about. After a while purri got control over the railguns and shared those with his mates. The classic dm1 lockdown began and Ukraine didn't stand a chance anymore. Several minutes passed by with Ukraine not getting a single frag. After 20 minutes Sweden got a 110
frag lead, which is quite good against a pretty strong Ukraine team. Motm bubkez for doing a great job at lift/arena.
Third map : q2dm7 - The Slimey Place
After 2minutes Ukraine was leading with 10 frags. In general they did a very good job on this map, only Sweden did a better one. Smoke was fragging good and all were attacking the key positions. Squix did the best job for the Sweden by holding the ssg/hb zone and distributing weapons. Optimizer had a tough time at RA and bubkez was almost constantly under fire at RL. Still Sweden showed they were the better team by winning most 1*1 fights and having better weapon exchange. Motm: Squix for his good job at ssg/hb
Conclusion
I guess you can say Sweden is "back", reinforced by purri who kind of made it all go smoother. Ukraine surprised everyone in this league i think by showing great skill and being very mature. Great game without a single phrase of whining and with a lot of WPN.
Man of the match would be purri or bubkez for me. Both showed very nice (agressive - defensive) skill.
