Challenge Smackdown North Europe
Round 1 - Apollyon
DM3 - The Abandoned Base (Tribe of Tjernobyl's choice)
Demos
POV: psycho dad
ReportThe game was played on a "Ghettonet" server where both teams hat almost
equal conditions. I was noticed of the game very short in advance and
did not know what to expect except a good game. In the end it turned
out not to be only a good game but actually one of the best and closest
games i have ever watched.
The teams began playing on dm3, TOT's choice. AMD have the better start
by getting the pentagram and securing yellow armor area with that while
TOT's quad is quickly dispatched. After the first minute AMD lead by 6
frags. But TOT get the second quad and attack ya with it while they had
secured ra as well. Now it is AMD's turn to take the third quad but the
bearer gets boomsticked. However scores are equal at 15 frags for each
team. The situation on the map now looks like this. TOT are at the ra side
of the map while AMd have the other side with quad and ya. From this
classic situation AMD launch attacks on ra and Vovik is finally able to
take and hold it. Even though AMD are now leading by frags TOT are
constantly fragging elsewhere and AMD can't lock down the map. After 5
minutes AMD lead with 37-20 but TOT get the pentagram with a bit of luck.
Meanwhile they had taken quad as well but the quaddamge got fragged by AMD
at ra. The pentagram helps them to retake the lead however but AMD play
very clever and TOT can't pull ahead of them really. Five minutes later
TOT take the next pentagram as well after a fight over it which was
described as "it's raining men" by a spectator. From now on TOT had
quite good control over the map and were fragging faster than previously.
After 12 minutes its 77-52 for TOT. Later AMD attack ra and take it again
then go for the quad and take it as well. Now they are closing in on TOT
again. TOT concentrate on getting the last penta as well and get it
at last. But AMD emerges victorious out of the visious fight over ra.
16 minutes into the match and TOT only lead by two 92-90. AMD take
quads now and frag everything that moves at ra with it. Shortly after
they take the lead for the first time. With two minutes to go they lead
by two frags only. TOT get the second but last quad but they can't retake
ra with it where AMD are waiting for them. One minute later AMD still
lead by one frag and the last quad is fragged without being usefull and
tieing the score at 112-112. AMD are launching a last desperate attack
after waiting fot the last red armors and make the last two frags in the
game but TOT wins with 116-114.
Round 2 - Apollyon
E1M2 - Castle of the Damned (Tribe of Tjernobyl's choice)

POV: oddjob
ReportAfter the breathtaking first map AMD's choice was to be played and it
proved to be a thriller as well - even twice. The first time the teams
played another tense match but after 16 minutes AMD's connection died
(they played from an internet cafe). TOT were leading by just 1 frag at
that time and when AMD returned 5 or 6 minutes later we decided that it
would be fairest to start the map over.
Although TOT get the first quad AMD starts better and after the first
minute they were leading by 5 frags. But soon TOT managed to secure ya
and slowly closed in on AMD. They are taking the quads however and with
them push TOT back to ya. After five minutes AMD lead 33 to 30. While
TOT were controlling ya and AMD quad all the fighting was going on at
gl but neitjer team managed to break through. After 6 minutes Oddjob
from TOT manages to snatch a quad but only with the sng his attack on
mega is not very successful and the overall struggle for control went on
for now. After 9 minutes AMD were leading by 13 frags and slowly increased
that lead in the following time until up to 20 frags. With 8 minutes to
go Oddjob is able to start the first real quadrun for TOT and take the
lead for his team. Now TOT are controlling the map quite good and increase
their lead steadily. Somewhat later AMD start an excellently timed attack
on ra where the four of them easily defeat the sole defender of that area.
Having four people there now they are still 21 frags behind TOT. But AMD
take the next quad and quickly gain on TOT now. They are tying the score
at 153-153. The game gets real tense now as TOT takes one of the last
quads and increase their lead to 5 frags while there is just 1 minute left
to play. AMD get the last quad but TOT have the yellow armors . 15 seconds
to go and the game is still tied at 173-173. Despite AMD-Glad having the
quaddamage TOT frag better during the final showdown at the gl area and
win by merely 4 frags.
Well it was an excellent game by two excellent clans. Both teams showed
that they are really worth of getting into the playoffs and will
surely make it in the end. And like mentioned before this was one of the
best games i have ever watched. GG!
