-by numerous fat women in g-strings Post-Game Commentary:
Ok, I’m gonna be completely honest. I had connection problems and only made it in time to see all of Game 3. So, with the help of Dinsdale and players on both squads, I’ve compiled enough notes to give you a good idea of what games 1 and 2 were like. I’ll start with comments from 1 player on each side so you get a first hand account of what went on:
EL [\/]ouse (M&Ms;)> ”Well we basically came out with the same gameplan as the one that got us a win. But, they changed everything around and hit us hard. The hardest part about game 1 was trying to figure out what they were doing. With all the confusion and pressure they put on us with their flagging, they were able to rape us individually in battle.”
Liu Jian (TA)> “TA practiced 4 out of 7 days, we knew M&Ms; would fight till the end, and we operated accordingly. In Game 1 the only real difficulty we ran into was certain individuals not playing as a team. Clearly, our strategy throughout all 3 matches was to get a flag advantage early. We had no problems in executing that aspect of our plan.”
Game 1:
Titan Marines – The Alliance
Collective Militia – M&Ms;
At the beginning of this match, Melov(TA) was disconnected and All-American Beef was subbed in his place. TA went north at the whistle. Ucross flagged H1, while other TA rushed to flag F2 and all of mid. After the 4 flags were capped, they grouped in H1 trees and held in ambush. M&Ms; went to J4 first and had a feeling TA was waiting in H1 trees. So, M&Ms; inched their way up there while TA watched patiently. BlinkDeath and Switch (M&Ms;) slipped out of their trees and did a striptease in an attempt to attract the stationary TA. No luck. So, M&Ms; pulled back to J4, probably on their way to flag H5. As soon as TA saw them pulling out, they took the opportunity to stab them in the back. They came out with blazing barrels, mowing down every M&M; except for their sniper Marine Obi. The sweaty sniper took off south with TA hot on his six. After finding a nice hiding spot, TA closed in on his tree and did away with him as well. With all of M&Ms; off the field, TA capped the remaining flags for a Victory in 20 and held a strong defense outside J4. M&Ms; wasn’t able to make it in time and TA won by flags. This game was over in about 6 minutes.

Game 2:
Titan Marines – M&Ms;
Collective Militia – The Alliance
I wasn’t able to gather much info about this game, but this is what I did get. Ucross was playing rather well, according to both players and spectators. Someone even said in spec chat “Ucross is aiming well today.” M&Ms; didn’t seem to flag even when given perfect opportunities. They focused mainly on ambushing and attempting to eliminate Ucross. But, TA rarely fell for the ambushes, and Ghost got quite impatient. Apparently, he was ineffectively rushing TA and trying to flank them head-on in frustration. M&Ms; medics had trouble staying alive as well, Luca being the one eliminated rather quickly.
Liu Jian (TA)>”What surprised me the most in game 2, was when M&Ms; retreated to F2 with 3 against 8 and were able to kill 3 TA members after grouping. That was a really good recovery.”
Like in Game 1, TA would always end up overrunning the fleeing M&Ms; after winning a battle. Still, M&Ms; halted TA’s flag victory persistently despite the chaos. Even so, they weren’t able to hold up their numbers and eventually TA pushed the remaining few out of the way for the flag victory.
EL [\/]ouse (M&Ms;)>”The second game we were still in shock and didn’t figure out new a plan till game 3. What surprised us was they knew they would lose in a blood bath cuz we were ready for it, so they flagged their way into the second round.”
MVP ~ Ucross
Game 3:
Titan Marines – The Alliance
Collective Militia – M&Ms;
At the start of this match M&Ms; rushed H5 while 1 got J4. TA did the same by rushing H1 while 1 grabbed F2. The first contact was made when half of TA went through mid and the other half made a long flank south, where they met M&Ms.; Ghost was the first to die near H5, and disconnected shortly thereafter. But, M&Ms; did not let it weaken them. They killed a slightly higher amount than TA in this battle, and pulled back to regroup. TA had to regroup as well, so they didn’t pursue just yet. Still, it didn’t take long before TA was ready to put the M&Ms; into a retreat again. After quickly regrouping, they split up around H5 and cleared the entire area for bite-size candies. Ucross’s half chased away 3 M&Ms;, leading TA to J4. M&Ms; was split up between the East side of J4 and the West side. They ambushed well and managed to kill Ucross. TA took caution and then noticed M&Ms; had a lone flagger in mid. TA responded by sprinting to south mid and raping the flagger. TA remained in mid awaiting Ucross’s regroup while M&Ms; held J4. After regrouping, TA was ready to engage AGAIN and ran to J4. M&Ms; responded by going north and into mid before TA was able to catch up. All they did was switch spots. TA went to H1 trees and held for a minute or two, when M&Ms; decided to begin sneaking over to H5. TA took this opportunity to take mid and flank before they had a chance to escape. 3 TA were left alone in mid and chased out of north exit by some anxious M&Ms.; Tp- was killed and his 2 helpers made it out alive grouping with the flank team near the Armoury. This was the battle of the match, both sides had an equal amount of kills and M&Ms; seemed to start getting the upper hand. Then, before you know it, Ucross and a few TA snuck up behind the desperate M&M; rapists and killed them all. TA was free and silence finally took over as the dust from the long battle settled. After recovering, TA saddled up and galloped to J4 for the final battle of the match. They met M&Ms; and made a run for their last objective. As soon as the Victory for TA in 20 went up, Ucross and Marine Obi were eliminated. The battle raged on, and as soon as M&Ms; aborted, BlinkDeath, St/\r, and XtremeRage (M&Ms;) were knocked out. A few seconds later 3 more M&Ms; were eliminated from the game, eL Mouse, Chr0me, and Luca Blight. The only remaining M&M;, Dust Devil, rushed to H1 and awaits the TA, most which had 1 life. Forefall and tp- were the first to arrive to H1. Dust Devil quickly snuck up behind Forefall and eliminated him from the game. Tp- retreated, and the rest of TA showed up to rape him, though he still had 1 life. Victory in 20 went up for TA after they grabbed the final objective, H1. Dust Devil decided to end the game by speccing out of his dropship. But, basically, TA took it for the flag win again and moved on to the playoffs. GG.
