Now, this was a weird game to admin. You know, when you come into a channel as a ref, and everything is done before you show up, you know something is going to go wrong. The point was that Slovenia had been waiting for a while for Poland to get their 4 players on, and in the meantime the server was already chosen, and the maps were decided. So, all there was to do, was to wait. And the best waiter award amongst the Slovenian players gotta go to Avis, cause he is so cool and has such good looks etc. Yeah, anyway, we waited and waited. Assasin was probably working quite hard on findng that 3rd and 4th player, but somehow, like a rabbit in a hat, there came Cs3 and Scooby out of nowhere! Already delayed by x amount of minutes, everyone was eager to get the game going. Even Avis. It was quite obvious that the Polish team came into this game a bit unprepared, it wasn't cause of hours upon hours of strategical meetings they were delayed, obviously.
Q2DM1 - 's choice
Ok, this screenshot only tells half the truth (sorta like a picture of Avis, he really is better looking than it seems). The reason why, is cause the game was divided in two 10 minute games due to Careem having major problems with his connection mid game. Poland offered to replay the entire map, but the Slovenians were busy having dreams about beds and smoke and stuff, so they weren't really that eager themselves.
As for the games, the first half was dominated by Poland. Assasin was supposed to be at rail, scooby and cs3 ran around in mega and mik camped that damn lift pretty hard. SLO did put up a fight, Careem held rail quite good acutally (if I remember correctly) but Poland seemed to play on pure experience and did what they always have done, just increasing that fragcount. That's when Careem had problems with his connection, and 4 timeouts or so were called.
Second q2dm1 game was way closer, and really wished it had been going on for 20 min instead of 10!! The last few minutes were really exciting to watch. SLO really held on to mega, and also took lift as well. Poland seemed to be in trouble for sure, but it's weird, with 2 minutes left or so, they started to slowly regain control of the map after regrouping by rail, and with one minute left they just seemed to have somewhat control allthough only leading by a couple frags. Could oh so easily gone the other way and SLO winning the last half. But regardless, POL had a pretty big lead from the first half, so they weren't really that much under pressure. Intresting game though, just too bad it was 2 halfs, and not one whole 20 min game.
Q2DM2 - 's choice
The thing that takes the most time is the mapchanges, it's weird, but somehow people dissappear and reappear and go ready then not ready, and vote then not vote and talk about gay sex in movies and stuff. The usual. And about how cool Avis is. After quite a few minutes voting and not voting and going ready, then not going ready, and talking about gay sex in movies with a famous actor in, they were set. I dunno, think the movie might have been Deliverance with Burt Reynolds, it does have a scene with one redneck guy raping a fat guy in the woods, and that banjo guy and stuff. Great movie, but I would rather watch POL and SLO play on q2dm2! So, finally Morph-x was showing up and stealing Scooby's spot (who were kind enough to show up on short notice, allthough we dont want any details about what you and your friend did :) ). The game kicked off, eventually. Again, it was pretty obvious Poland played more on rutine than anything, they lacked the polished play they had against Germany, but still did a good job. But 5 minutes into the game, Morph-x timed out, and some timeouts were called. Eventually, Scooby had to step in again. Since he has such a high ping, he is positioned at the RA. He always says ":] wHOOAOAAh" and it looks like he isn't too bored up there. Cs3 was trying to get quads, and did get some. But SLO were actually holding the quad area fairly well, while Poland had RA. It was like that for a while, Mik held the mega lift, and Scooby held the RA lift, SLO had the quad, and Assasin and Cs3 ran around fragging. And even when Poland managed to hold quad some, SLO kept stealing it, and Shellex did a really nice job on this map, having some nice quadruns and delivering damage all over the map. Careem was busy annoying RA campers, and he surely knows how to annoy, in a good way. Anyway, as always on q2dm2, it's 20 minutes of total chaos, and Poland wins by a huge margin.
Thanks to patient teams, and even though there might have been a lot of shittalking and whining and stuff, both teams were kind enough to do so in a foreign language to spare the admin for the strong language. Hehe, nah, wasn't that bad, SLO only got a bit annoyed at the delaying, as they had been waiting for a long while, and Poland was forced to come pretty unprepared into the game. Which made it pretty intresting. GGs
