Either I missed something, or Misread the Results, or Palisades has done what no one thought they could EVER do. Yes, This game went 2-1 for Palisades, Because One Reason: Center Stage had Too much lag and too few players to make a real match out of this.

At the start of this game, Center Stage tried playing ae-, who was too lagged to play. So, the game started, with Center stage heading south out of the dropship. Palisades sent emp, HeHe-, and DarkStalker out of their base south, and straight to midbase. The rest of Palisades went North into the midbase, taking up strategic positions. Two people waited on the walls of the south door, and the two grenadiers, Franky and Frawg, waited behind the barrels of the North room. Center Stage proceeded very cautiously to H4, and then went around F3 (Not through the canyon next to mid), to take the F2 flag. They carefully made their way up to H1, where they flagged and went to I1. Once their path was clear, they scampered down to J3. At this point, ae- was subbed in as a medic and allowed to play. Center Stage waited for him at I4, and when he arrived, they rushed south mid. They fought a hard battle, and ae- died and was out, but Center Stage managed to get Palisades out of mid. 

Game Time: 22:47

Kils: 4-5 Palisades

Palisades headed North to H1, and Center stage fell out of mid to the I2-J2 area. They encountered Palisades there, and had a long battle. Khaos was watching the flank around the mountain there with Arcades, and they fought with a few of the players there. Frawg was specced out for lag, and NewJack was subbed in. There was a funny little double kill, with Khaos killing hed and hed killing Khaos. Center Stage was getting the upper hand in this battle, and they cleaned up the field while Palisades reeled from the blow. Palisades immediately headed bach to Mid, and Center Stage went North to H1.

Center Stage went into the H1 building, and Khaos went south of it through the H2 trees. They regrouped, and flagged F2. Palisades waited for them in Mid, and they battled it out. This proved to be the decisive battle for both teams, with Center Stage quickly gaining the upper hand, wiping out NewJack, Franky and hed. Palisades fell back into mid, and the teams were now even 5-5 (in players). Center Stage fell to J2, and Palisades went up to H1. Center Stage went down to H5 to flag, with Palisades following in their path to J2. This time, Center Stage was the one inside midbase, and Palisades was the one south of it looking in. They found each other, and began to fight. gammanco and DarkStalker were the first to fall in this battle, and next came emp. Luckily for Palisades, they were able to take down Khaos, But soon, the last player for Palisades, Punch, was hunted down at H2 and killed. The game ended, with Center Stage taking the win.

Began to flag, and soon both teams saw each other, and had a battle at G4. Palisades was in mid, and Center Stage was out of it. Prisoner and a few others went around to flank North, and the battle soon moved South to H5. In a stroke of either Luck or good planning, Palisades had all the flags, and held them for 20 seconds. I told you this game was quick.

Game 3:

This was the decisive game where Palisades almost seemed to make easy work of the SL Giant. However, because Center Stage was only playing with 5 players, it could be said that it wasn’t a “real” victory. Decide for yourself. (Sorry, No Classes for this one, I neglected to write them down, but you can probably tell)

Palisades seems to believe that once a strategy works, stick to it. emp, NewJack and HeHe- went south out of the dropship once again to mid, and the rest of Palisades did exactly as they did game one. Center Stage went South, and waited at H4 for quite some time before the teams found eachother. Center Stage charged south mid (Dejavu?), and this time, smackrock wasted no time in flanking the long way around Mid to J2, and to H4. Center Stage went up through G3. At this point, the battle broke up into many small skirmishes. A large battle in H1, a small battle at F2, and a small battle at H2. A few Palisades were holding the F2 building, and Arcades was killed rushing for the flag. The battles moved to J3, and ae- was subbed in, but out all to soon. Palisades managed to capture the final flag, and sounded the victory timer, taking the game, and the match.
