What can i say ! NiDML cup finally started and i couldnt be much more gladfull for starting one of the first game in league. Tonight's game was between LITHUANA AND PORTUGAL.

I think i was much more nerovus tonight than players from both team tonight.
Reason why,well in short words: i became admin like 1h ago before game started,so
it tooked me some time to read rules etc.. and when i realized it was already
20.00h! i found captain from POR team,but noone from LTU,so i just turned on ASE
and hoped to found then on some server. And YESSS i had luck,just came on server
when the last second of warmup. All the settings were ok, and the game started.

So,luckily i had Mg in observer to ask him which maps where choosen etc..

situation was like that: LTU picked q2dm3, and POR picked q2dm1.
First game was played on NL server - xs4all as "home" map of LTU team, and
second map was played on ITA server - Cyber as "home" map of POR team.

Well, situation which was happening on q2dm1 and q2dm3:

Q2DM1: Well first of all, i didnt had any idea what can we expect from POR team,but
they showed really good game tonight.

Game was more open type,so there was no camping or something, but when i spectated
players,i detected that LTU players were quite a lot of time on rail-water room side
and POR players where trying to lock mega room,but those were only shorter terms
of whole game. Well LTU made to do some frag advantage at the begining which was
around +20 in first 5min and just slowly managed to made +50 for them till the end
of the game, well there was no obvious pressure from POR team,so the game was really
smoth and the final score of the first map LTU 1 : 0 POR .

Q2DM3: Must say,much more interesting and tight game than the game before.In first 3min
LTU players again managed to do some frag advantage,but POR players showed some
resistance and came really close to LTU, but LTU players showed their teeth and
made that +10,20 difference till the end. POR players were playing really agressivly
but it didnt had any efect on LTU nervous sistem,so they played really calm and
they got the second map.

So,total score: LTU 2:0 POR

in conclusion: Must say i expected easier win from LTU team,but jea pings were bit
a crap also,but i think POR is very strong team and can surprise anybody in group A.


Well i think its nice to tell the best players from the both team,
my best player from LTU team was Diacon and from POR team - Zearth !

GG's from both sides, GL in the next rounds! ;)
