| opening with our game against austria... a tough game to start with, as they had several eurocup winners in their side. we easily agreed on a gameservers.net server, ireland with a ping disadvantage of about 8-10 ms. team.ie lined up with the attacking trio of myself (killy), dest, and sno; kat and melachi in defence, and spectator coaching. they had private, scorp, viech, tropf, and ko (with van-wilder coaching). our map was q3wcp1, which started in our favour and we looked well in control for 6 minutes or so, until austria capped against the run of play. this turned the tide of the game, and a repeat performance put them 2-0 up. a good cap created by sno and finished by dest brought ireland back into the game, and when dest brought the flag back into our half of the map a few minutes later i thought we could have drawn level, but it resulted in a cross-steal with cluckilly holding the blue flag in red base. we managed to get both powerups, and their flag carrier died, and as i was standing on the flag spot hoping for a return, i was killed and our flag was not returned, they picked it up and capped. 3-1 down with not long to go, it was time to throw caution to the wind and attack like mad. this left our base vulnerable for austria to get a 4th, and end the game on a slightly flattering (imo) scoreline of 4-1.
w3 was austria's map, and they clearly knew how to play it. from the start they did very well syncing their home regen with haste, attacking with many bodies. our defence (consisting of a rejuvinated melachi and kat) was up to the task, and fended off most of the austrian attackers. however, the game was played always on the back foot, and although ireland had a few opportunities, austria's powerup work was too good. they went 2-0 up with some well worked caps, and in the final minutes we were forced to stretch ourselves again, like on cp1, in the hope of getting a cap to bring us back into it, but it only led to another score for austria. 3-0 to aut, well played to them, deserved winners and sound people. check for a report on clanbase soon, and if you want demos then sno has some uploaded somewhere.
promising admin work by global, who is putting a lot of effort into this nc... makes a big difference from previous seasons which were run without enthusiasm. our game vs turkey is postponed until next week.
