ST vs 5 - zzjohnzz - 12/03/01

Tonight's match would decide what team from division 1 would join AG in the "A" division. 5 made the "A" division last season but ST would take down 5 in a 2 games to 1 series assuring them of at worst a top 6 finish in smackdown. The games were played at the XX server where the average pings differed by 1 at around 120. 5 chose dm3, St chose e1m2, and the tie would be on e3m7. This was a very serious match. So important in fact that the steek-o-nator had been playing up to 5 hours a day on UK and Swedish servers in preparation for the big game. On dm3 Bubbz got the 1st quad and somehow managed to get a rl real quick. He then fired the rl at an enemy killing the enemy, a teammate, and himself in genuine lomo fashion. Then carnage from ST timed and 5 went on a roll. After 2 minutes 5 was leading 11-2. Bubbz then regained control of the ra for ST and was spamming grenades everywhere. He missed the enemy with quad and killed yet another teammate and then took a quad rocket to the stomach. After 7 minutes carnage finally got back on the server but his team was down 40-9. From there 5 showed good control with rufio running quad after quad and 5 won 118-49. Rufio finished with 41 frags. Before the e1m2 match there was quite a bit of trash talking. This must have inspired Bubbz because he saved his team time and time again in the e1m2 game. Bubbz got the 1st quad but couldn't get much accomplished and after 1 minute 5 was leading 5-4. Bubbz then got rl and in true "anti IN A BIT" fashion he camped the MH the whole game. He didn't leave the area once. Anyone that tried to enter that area met a sure and swift death. Bubbz saved many rl's for his team and imho is THE MAIN REASON why ST won that game. In fact he held the MH until there were 48 seconds to go in the game. Carnage finished with 38 frags as ST won 108-88. E3M7 started and ST got the dream start. They took both rls/quads and pent/eyes. All 5 could do for the next 3 minutes was die as they fell behind 41-1. Titan would go to the back quad, take it, take ra, then kill everything in his way to the castle, clear the castle and go back to the back quad. He did this over and over and over. 5 couldn't really do anything to stop him. If he died, Carnage would take over running the route. Steek was clearly frustrated at his teammates. After his stint playing on EU servers he was asked to join a few big name swedish clans. He declined several invitations and decided to stick out the season with 5. When he had rl, his teammates would take the ya or mh or quad. This annoyed him to no end and with 2 minutes to go he went on a mad killing spree killing teammates, enemies, and eventually himself. ST wins the game 152-72 and the match 2-1. Carnage finished with 59 frags.
