2fort5

The first map played was 2fort5, 8 v 8, using QW2.3 and TF2.8 on the Zip clan server for OZTFL Round 1 and OTFCR points. Playing for Loki were Proto, Victim, Goo, Fenrir, Tetsuo, Shilka, rj and Grimm. Zel played initially but dropped early on, being replaced by Shilka. No spectators were allowed as per OZTFL rules.

As 2fort5 often turns out to be, this was a game dominated by defence. QG were defending their fort very strongly, making it nearly impossible for our attackers to get through. We did get to their flag a few times, but we were not able to take it very far. QG were undergoing a fairly similar experience in our base. Our flag was in major danger at one point, though, but some quick covering defence saved the situation.

If it hadn't been for what was probably a lucky capture on our part, the game would have ended in a draw. Thanks to Grimm for bringing home the bacon, and thanks to QG for a very tight game.

Map score: Loki 10, QG 0.
