| nations quake rank came to an end last sunday, with slackers and disorder battling each other in a 5 map final, and what a thrilling final it was.
]sr[ players: paradoks, gamer, goljat & hib
ds players: mrlame, nabbe, jovovich (slime), star player (akke) & riker (mr lame played first 3 maps)
first game was dm3,
where disorder isn't known to be as strong as slackers (and a lagging mrlame did'nt help either). goljat does a nice and nifty tactic at the start, delaying the pent by 15 seconds (which means he gets rl, and goes to secure ra still pented) which secured ra for them pretty quickly. 2nd pent goes to gamer who has no weapon, but goljat comes quickly and bores his rl to him, who then goes to ra to secure it for his team. ds gets the next 3 quads; nabbe gets quad and goes to ra, but after quad has ran out he gets killed re-entering ra. akke gets the 2nd one, but cant do much with it and is quickly killed. 3rd goes to mrlame but again, gets killed and did'nt do much with it. 3rd pent coming up, and mrlame has quad ready to go for pent, but something really fucked up happens; ends up getting spammed at window with grenades bouncing around (really funny to see tho  ) and is too late to get pent but falls from window where pented paradoks takes him out. paradoks goes straight to ra, takes it then gets lined up for the next quad, taking it and doing a good job with quad/lg. 8 mins left, ]sr[ lead by 36 frags. paradoks takes the next quad again and is thrown down to low health under ra (9h) but survives and runs to sng for health then retreats back to ra to pick it up and takes the next quad and sweep's pent area but gets killed at ra by a ds sg. 4th pent is coming up but this time jovovich gets it, while nabbe gets eyes. jovovich secures ra, while mrlame takes next quad but is soon killed. 3 mins left, ]sr[ leading with 52 frags, ds still has control of ra and slime gears up for 17th quad; securing ya effectively then back to ring/sng area. last quad going to slime who takes out some enemies and does a really cool quad rjump -> frag on hib but its not enough.. and ]sr[ win by 42 frags. quads shifting side to side, ds getting 11 while sr get only 9. paradoks leading the scoreboard with 67 frags along with a 63.6% effeciency. imo, ds did well; losing the first dm3 with only 42 frags, considering there not known to be so good on it compared to slackers, and a 40 - 150 ping mrlame
e1m2, king of the castle
disorder's strongest map. goljat gets the first rl and goes straight to mh, fraging on his way; then goes to ya and secures it. along with mh/ya he takes the next quad and makes sure ya is secured. next few quads are taken by paradoks/goljat, sweeping mh/ya each time. then ds get the next two, akke being killed by rl when he takes it but the next one nabbe takes, who makes a nice run taking out one of sr's rl's, but goes through tele and hits himself and his teamie lowering his health for a sr player to kill him with ssg. ds had some really bad luck, sr spawning on rl amonst others things didn't go their way here either; still a close game, with disorder loosing by 32 frags. nabbe coming top with 65 frags and a 63.2% effi. mrlame's performance hindered by his isdn, would of been nice to see him play with a stable connection.
dm2, lotto map time \o/
disorder had to win this, or they'd be knocked out by slackers 3-0. slackers get full start here, getting both rl's and quad; and take full advantage of it; locking it down in the first few mins. the game is rather even up until the 11th minute, when disorder, especially against slackers; who know how to keep there lead. then it happens, ]sr[ runs out of luck (for once!) 3 mins left, full map control and a 50 frag lead; ]sr[ loose's map control. in 180 seconds, ds must make over 50+ frags in order to stay in the final. this might not sound that much; especially on dm2, but when ]sr[ start slow spawning it really does look there was no hope for ds. 1:20 left, ]sr[ up with 26 frags, and 2rl's at low-rl. akke (star player) gets quad, and attacks lower rl, taking out first e rl at secret ra; grabs secret ra and goes to attack 2nd one, taking him out too! 50 seconds left, ]sr[ still up with 15 frags but no rl's. ds players furiously looking for frags to stay in the game. akke running the last quads, showing every one that nothing is impossible when he plays 16 seconds left, and its 160 - 160, ds making 7 frags in the last 15 seconds. the best come back i've ever seen, really good fucking game. 10 quads to each team on this map, jovovich (slime) coming top with 52 frags and 57.0% effi. some really nice play by him in that game.
now its,
disorder's choice of map, and they pick e1m2. riker shows up for this game(\o/), replacing mrlame. akke gets first rl, slime gets first quad but is killed by gamer who spawned ya and went straight to rl, picking up the 2nd one that spawned. akke gets the 2nd quad and gamer dies some where in between. next quad goes to ]sr[ but is quickly killed by nabbe's rocket. ds really get a nice start, 3mins with a 30+ lead. riker gets the next 2 quads and goes on a mission, fragging ]sr[ players like no tomorow. 5th minute, ds dominating ]sr[ 82 - 11, jovovich (slime) taking the next quad, but gets killed by hib. 8 mins and ds still has a hefty 90 frag lead, quaded paradoks gets killed by riker when picking up rl 10 mins remaining and ]sr[ now has control over ya, but are missing important quads. goljat keeping ya safe, escaping a fight with 2h ds lead is starting to shrink, 7 + 1/2 mins left; now only 75 frag lead. hib taking the 13th quad, taking out alot of ds players. 5 mins left and ds has a lead of 55 frags, goljat takes the next quad and secures ya, then to rl, anxiously looking for frags. but it is'nt over for ds; slime taking next quad and waiting for ssg. then goes to ya and takes out goljat. 1min to go, ds up with 22 frags and goljat tries his luck attacking rl with quad but soon gets killed. ds wins by 27 frags, jovovich playing yet another great game (along with the rest of the players!) with 68.3 effi and 56 frags. 11 quads to ]sr[, 9 to ds.
2-2; decider time,
the decider map being dm3. ]sr[ being favourites for this. jovovich gets rl and heads to ya, while gamer gets quad, hib eyes and goljat pent. goljat stalls the pent again this game and gets 2nd rl then goes to secure ra, picking it up and taking the next quad. next 3 quads go to ds but are soon killed, both having little health. ra is in ]sr['s possession. 5 mins gone, pent is delayed by 15 seconds and gamer takes quad then goes and takes pent. ]sr[ leading by 44 frags with ra, fully tooled up hib taking the next quad but then gets discharged at pent, few seconds afterwards paradoks also dies at pent, giving away a rl pack. ra is still in ]sr['s control, with a 53 frag lead on the 8th minute. riker gets the 8th quad but gets killed in a funny way. spam'd at center mh with pines, he runs into tunnel only to walk onto one :( ds now have control of ra, akke making sure its safe. next quad is quickly killed and pent is coming up. pent was delayed by 26 seconds, and goljat takes this one but has no weapon so goes to rl box where he quickly "scripts" his way to ra but then gets killed by akke. akke takes the next quad and goes to pent where hib is hiding in lifts. he kills hib tho, with 3 h remaining and advances up to drop down out of lifts only to be sg'd by a ]sr[ spawner. next quad goes to riker but only has sng and gets killed at ya. 6 1/2 mins left, ]sr[ leading by 20 frags. akke gets next quad but is quickly gunned down by paradoks. coming up to the 4th pent (delayed by 26 seconds) and nabbe secures it, heads to sng kills some ]sr[ players then secures ra, while goljat attacks ra with quad, but nabbes fancy footwork on ra top is too much for him and takes him out. 3 mins left, ]sr[ stil up by 24 frags, akke taking the 17th quad, hunting down ]sr[ players as fast as he can. 2 mins left, ]sr[ with a 15 frag lead thats slowly decreasing with akke's quad runs. 1 min left, akke gets the next quad and goes down water way only to get discharged :/ ]sr[ are now 9 frags ahead, 30 seconds left. ]sr[ decide to hide in sng with a 6 frag lead, akke has the last quad and goes to ra but then goes to water/ya instead of sng where the ]sr[ players are hiding. ds lose dm3 by six frags, 150 - 144, so close. 3 pents and 7 quads to ]sr[, 1 pent and 13 quads to ds. nabbe coming top again with 53 frags.
really have to give a gfg to ds for their play. mrlame on isdn and a sick riker, still managed to beat ]sr[ on 2 maps, including an excellent comeback on dm2 and only losing the last dm3 by 6 frags. and congratulations to slackers for winning nqr 5! (even if you had a "little" bit of luck  )
