We Had A Blast Intense Match. Wow It Was Close....Who Knew?
:O
Scores? Or did they really just forfeit.
err I think it was a forfeit.
we had 3-4 show, so we just forfeit
so why do they taunt if they didnt play? Who would have won if they did play?
I would think ii would have won in 3.
titan - R all the way. my farm is teh pwn on that map.

damnation - could go either way , depends on the amount of med rapage dished out by ii and if they can get past my deadly timed mortar shots.

firestorm - ii has good cg whores , but theyd be in spawn only starting 30 seconds after the start. hard to stop base to base mortar spam that nukes yer invs. i'd say R in a close one.

my old team has actually won FS without the use of heavies.
with deployed invs and 1 decent farmer, you cna easily win that map without heavy or b2b spamming.
and if you have 3-4 lights nade spamming you and your base, you arent going to get a whole lot of mortars off
especially considering how fast a light can get from base to base

3 proficient lites > mortar spam any day.
maybe... but i can kill the nme invs within the 1st 30 seconds of the start. 3 lights to suit up and get to my base... be more time than that. i agree it can be won without b2b spam, but it sure is easier. after that its all about o pressure and midfield.
Lights dominate Firestorm. For further proof, refer to nes's firestorm demo, Duff vs FS

its just a differewnt strat is all. if a single player can take out the nme base, that frees up ( in this example) 3 lights to go do other things. escort, midfield, lo etc and not have to worry if the enemy even has a base. there arent a lot of heavies who can do b2b and kill the nme invs.
Spam is overrated. If your strategy actually worked the way you thought it would, a whole bunch of teams would employ the same plan. Having one player dedicate spamming the whole 30mins is a waste of a position. Especially when its 7v7.
your mom rubbing my feet was a waste of time on the 1v7 i had with her and her friends

Well, my mom's like 50, but if you're into that kinda stuff....
i have to agree, [ii] had absolutely no chance of winning firestorm, i mean after all, how can they possibly stop mortar spam on the inventories??? thats a crazy strat man for realz, i cant believe noone has ever thought of it before!!1
like i said, how many players can do b2b and kill the invs these days?
just about everyone i know
Set up portable invs and they wont need the top invs, making Colds life maningless, hence he is wasting his time.
I had b2b spam down pat several yrs ago, but after playing several pubs/matches without b2b spam (matches was by accordance of both teams) we had a hell of a lot more fun.

b2b spam can be effective, but only against a team that relies heavily on their... heavies ! (Pun intended)
but if you go up against a team who can swarm effectively, your base and flag belongs to them, plain and simple.

the one thing is, those 3-4 lites can also grab the flag/Lo/Mid/chase... etc etc.
making them far more effective overall.
not downplaying your talent cold, but the b2b spam has been effectively shut down all too many times, people learn to adapt, and by learning become better players.
the first time we ran without the spam and sent only LO... well, at the time, it was considered a pretty bold move, but proved extremely effective.

not saying HO isnt needed at times on FS, sometimes, you just gotta do what you gotta do, but, the bi9ggest mistake, is not knowing when to stop the HO onslaught and move to the LO who will keep the pressure up none stop, far faster than spamming will.
i agree with ya syn. its all about knowing when to change gears. luckily for me, i can also farm pretty well, snipe a bit, heck i can even lo on firestorm. i see where yer comin from an all, and i actually agree. b2b inv spam is just another tool in the tool box.
