bam4

The first map played was bam4, 8 v 8, using QW2.3 and TF2.8 on the Zip clan server for OZTFL and OTFCR points. Playing for Loki were Grimm, Victim, Fenrir, Proto, Tetsuo, mic, Mirage and Zel.

After preparing to play 2fort5, QG pointed out that we had in fact agreed to play bam4. Oops. :-) We changed maps then spent 5 minutes frantically trying to work out who was going to play where, getting things organised just as the game started. Victim gave us lots of confidence by telling us numerous times that we were going to get killed. :-) Have faith, Vic! :-)

It was a pretty tight game in general, but our flag did get taken a few times. We have demanded that Tetsuo stop using cheap Taiwanese sentries, as they have this bad habit of failing to see enemy scouts. On a few occasions, our flag headed towards the spiral but we were always to defend it until it safely returned. Vic and Grimm did a great job of front-line defence.

Our attack was struggling a little and claimed later that it was one of their worst efforts! Nevertheless, they did the job that was required of them, bringing home a good cap. Unfortunately for QG, they had dropped one or two players at this stage, no doubt playing a significant role in our capture.

Map score: Loki 10, QG 0.
