Report
Flaming Fist have only lost 3 clanwars in their history so far. The oldest of those was their second clanwar ever versus the Four Kings in the Villains 1 league. Flaming Fist had to wait more than two years until they finally had their revenge. And what a revenge it was. After getting the first pentagram and the rocket launcher with which they dispatched 4K's quad/eyes there was nothing that could stop the teamplay machine called Flaming Fist. The team consisting of Jerry, Pietro, Akke and Exile made the Four Kings look like total newbies. 4K were never able to put any pressure on FF's game and only scored a few frags here and there. Not even getting two of the quads or the last pentagram helped them much. Thus FF cruised towards an easy victory scoring way over 300 frags.

Report
Despite a full start by the Four Kings who lead by 5 frags after the first minute FF quickly gained control of the map and the match continued much like the first half. The only exception was that 4K played a bit better now, scoring more frags. They were even able to control the red armor for quite some time towards the end of the match. But still Flaming Fist won the map with relative ease.
I watched the game through one of the many cams and we watched Pietro most of the time. What came to my mind while watching was the question why the best players are always so damn lucky. This game of Pietro was another good example of this phenomenon: The first instance of incredible luck occured about 7 minutes into that match. Pietro has quad and is at the teleporter exit. Zommey from 4K is at red armor and spamming grenades out of the ring exit. Now jumps Pietro jumps in and smears him with a quad rocket. I tried this stunt many times but it never worked while Pietro pulled it of as if he would do it twice a day with eyes closed. The second instance of luck happens a short time later. While jumping into the yellow armor area Pietro catched a misplaced grenade by a teammate without having armor. Of course he survived with just 2 health. But after taking the ya and going through the tele he misses the jump into the water at pent and bores :-) The last instance of luck is the ever popular jump right onto the spawning pentagram of protection. Pietro was heading towards the quad when the game displayes "10 minutes remaining". So he is heading back towards the window where he could already see an enemy jumping down. While going through the window he tries to shoot the enemy but hits the wall and hurts himself while jumping down he dodges a rocket and you already guessed it lands on the pentagram which spawned a nanosecond before. Anyway Pietro and his teammates played a good game which was entertainign to watch although the outcome was not surprising at all.
