2fort5

XF asked for a game prior to their OZTFL final and we were more than happy to oblige. We had played them once before and managed to draw with them, but they had beaten us fairly badly in 2fort5 and we wanted a second chance at them.

The first map played was 2fort5, 8 v 8. For Loki we had Mil, Victim, Z, rj and Tetsuo on defence, and Karl, Shilka and Grimm on attack. Fenrir was unavailable, Proto was still having PC troubles, and Hetzer spectated the match.

We did much better this time around. It was a tense struggle for a while before XF fought their way through and got our flag up to the top. A fierce struggle ensued, with mass spamming, but they eventually got the flag to the bridge. Another fight broke out there but we couldn't hold it, and XF got the first cap in.

Not long after this, Grimm got to the XF flag and fought his way out to the bridge. After a few failed attempts by various attackers at getting it again , Shilka scooped it up and charged home for a capture, to level the scores at 10-10.

Unfortunately, XF had already taken our flag at this point and they soon took the lead again. Despite furious attempts by both sides, no-one was able to capture again, giving XF another good win.

We certainly did a whole lot better in this game than the first time we played them, maybe next time maybe we'll win. :-)

Map result: XF 20, Loki 10.
