| thanks to mindphuck we managed to get koopa and vin on broadband for tonight, it paid off in the cbnations ctf cup at 8 against netherlands. we didn't know what to expect, since this was the first time our team played together. after a 2-minute server search, we went to lsr's server in uk. it took awhile for koopa and vincent to get setup (putting network cable in isdn ta... wp vin) but eventually we started on ireland's home map q3w2, with a team of vincent, 2fish (koopa), anarchy, sno, killy (me  ) with zero coaching. after an early cap for us, the game was stalemate for 15 minutes (except for one moment when we were saved at enemy flag by sno). towards the end, ned really put the pressure on us by attacking with 4 men, but our defence of vincent and 2fish held firm, final score 1-0 to ireland.
ned chose cp9 as their home map: i had expected this since they beat france there last week, even though their traditional home map is cp5. bd subbed in for me and i replaced zero as coach. ned won comfortably 4-1 despite being well outfragged, there was clearly a lot of room for improvement by ireland on this map.
next came time to pick the decider map, which was q3w7. i moved back in to replace bd, and zero returned to coach. another early cap by ireland gave us a room to breathe, like w2 this is a map which can be difficult to score on. after 15 mins, we had settled for a 1-0 win, but as they did on w2, ned decided to go all-out attack. they couldn't get past our broadband lg's though, so it just resulted in two more caps for ireland and a final score scoreline of 3-0. overall result: ireland 4 - 2 netherlands. gg's ned and thanks to the_stranger for gtv.
the cbnations tdm was scheduled for 10pm, and after a late end to bwdml div1, ireland and uk settled on a dutch server where pings were fairest. the irish team was 2fish, ser, anarchy, vincent, with captain zero coaching. most of the players were on 35ish ping, but blokey's 20 ping cancelled out storm's 50 ping. unfortunately this was only the second time this irish team played together (the first time being against estonia in the playoffs when vin and koopa were on isdn). ireland's map was q3dm7, we got a horrible start and it took a few minutes to get back into the game. they just started to cess constantly, regaining ra at times but never holding it long enough to make a comeback, thanks to blokey and jay who were very impressive for uk. the final score was 231-149 to uk.
another bad start for ireland on uk's home map pro-dm6. uk clearly have their own way of playing this map, must be why its their home map, and it was very effective. ireland held ra for a lot of the game, and got a good few powerups, but because of uk's style we were never really in control. the best work was done by jay for uk who finished with a net of +37. theres a report on clanbase here.
