ReportToT had a good start by grabbing the penta and the first two rocket
launchers. They tried to secure YA and RA early on and pulled off
to a small lead. But FF took the next and the following two quads.
Thus they took the lead from ToT despite the fact not everyone of
them had a good weapon. ToT got RA for a short time but FF quickly
took it back. After about five minutes they were busy increasing their
lead but ToT had now taken the second penta. The penta guy tried to
secure Ra. Meanwhile Pietro was doing a quad run and became bored with
life at the quad area. That disturbed FF's plans a bit and ToT were
gaining on them againby running quads and securing both YA and RA. ToT
were trailing by about 14 frags when FF were lining up for the third
penta at the lifts. Making noises there is not a good idea though because
ToT send someone who killed FF's rl guy hiding there. ToT took that
pent as well and FF coudl do nothing about it, they even took the lead
by now. After 12 minutes they were leading by 13 frags (101-88). FF
tried to attack YA for several minutes without success because ToT used
the quads to protect it. Finally Akke decided to attack RA. During his
first attack he killed ToT's quadrunner there. He got fragged as well
but spawned nearby, took his pack and did a second attack which was very
impressive and took out two out of three ToT rl's. Meanwhile Exile had
scnatched the quad and shafted his way all through RA securing it. When
they took the last pentagram it was game over for ToT. FF had taken the
lead within less than 2 minutes. One minute later all FF players had
rl+armor for the first time during the match and were fragging at their
usual pace. ToT never got control on anything again and FF won in one
of the best dm3 games of the tournament (which also showed why RA is
so crucial on dm3).
Round 2 - Apollyon
E1M2 - Castle of the Damned (Flaming Fist's choice)

ReportFF got a good start jumping off to an early lead of 6 frags after one
minute. They got the next quadsas well and after 3 minutes they were
leading with 45 to 18 frags. ToT tried to flood FF at YA mainly but
they were owned all the time and didn't make a single frag for looong
minutes while FF kept running the quads. After 8 minutes FF were leading
by about 100 frags when ToT finally managed to get their first quaddamage.
They tried to secure YA but didn't make many frags. After 10 minutes
FF were still leading by 95 frags. Four minutes later they had increased
it to 121 frags and returned to what they did during the first minutes:
frag like hell. It was quite funny to see how lucky/skilled Pietro was
during this time. Once he was flooded by ToT'ers at YA and still managed
to survive and when he got eventually fragged he got a rl pack that fell
right in front of his feet while moving around in the water below YA. FF
won by almost 200 frags in a somewhat boring (but still entertaining to
watch) game.
By this victory FF go to the semifinals where they will meet TVS from
finland.
