March 30, 1999 vs. 6e9
| This was a unofficial scrimmage match held on the
Wrecking Crew server at 207.30.96.80. We played 4 maps, 2 selected by each clan. The match
ended up in a tie. However, I am actually going to call the match ....to be continued. We
will just say it is a match in progress for right now. In about 2 weeks we are gonna have
another match and we will have a winner then. If nothing else I do want to say good job to both clans. It was a hard fought match on both sides. I will say in my opinion (and yes you could call this biased, hehe) that I feel overall that WC played the better match. Without going into a ton of details WC won its maps pretty comfortably and we made 6e9 really scrap to barely get their wins. The teamjungle map in particular in my opinion should have been a wash. It was totally......goofy the way it ended. We needed to really play one more round on that map to decide a winner..not let the time limit decide it. I do want to make it clear that I am not taking anything away from 6e9 with my comments here. They are a great clan. On any given day they could play as good as us. I am sure it could be argued either way who played the better match last night. The fact remains it ended 2-2 in a tie. Anyway...this just fuels the fire for the next match, hehe. Below I have written up short descriptions of each map. Maybe my descriptions will explain my comments better.
ACTCITY2: WC - 9 / 6e9 - 3 Ok, this map was selected by WC. To be honest WC really ran away with this one. It was a little close for the first few rounds but then WC kinda pulled away. 6e9 seems to have become a major sniping clan. They are very good at it but this map does not play friendly to sniping tactics. They attempted to hold up where they started and tried to snipe WC as they approached. Due to the semi cramped map layout this tactic was not very successful. I can only wonder how awesome a clan we would have if
we combined 6e9's sniping abilities with WC's fast guerilla tactics type fighting. We
would be a very scary clan to play. TEAMJUNGLE: WC - 5 / 6e9 - 6 This map was quite a battle. Also to be honest I was
very...upset with the way it ended. The match ended with time running out in a tie match
and awarded 6e9 the map because the guy they had alive had like 13 more health than the WC
player. Very bogus. I was gonna say when it ended that the last round should be a scrub
and we should play one more round to settle the map but.....I figured since it was just a
friendly scrimmage there was no reason to get into all of that. Good job by both clans
though on keeping this map so close and making it go to the last second like it did. I
just would have much rather seen one of the last 2 guys kill the other so it would have
been a true win for one clan or the other. CLIFF: WC - 8 / 6e9 - 7 This map was again WC choice (teamjungle was 6e9 choice). WC was in control of this match pretty much all the way through. This takes nothing away from how hard 6e9 played on here. They really made us work for it. However, we held the lead on this map almost the entire match. The final score is a little deceiving because WC was ahead 8-6 with less than a minute left in the match. There was really no way 6e9 was gonna win or even tie the map because time had expired with WC having a 2 point lead. It was 8-5 I believe with only like 3 minutes left so 6e9 made a very good stab at it but unfortunately for them our early lead and time proved to be just a little too much for 6e9 to come back from. ACTCITY3: WC - 5 / 6e9 - 7 This map was selected by 6e9. It was a very close map. This map went right to the end. It was tied at 5-5 with like 2 minutes or so left. 6e9 pulled out a close win. Then at 6-7 it went into a final round that WC had a chance to tie it up but 6e9 again took the round. I do want to make one small compliment/comment on this map. Please 6e9 do not take this the wrong way..... This map started out 3-0 in WC favor. This was in large part because FRaG GoD was playing awesome. He was "In the zone". Then on the 4th round he locked up and his computer crashed. If you watch the demo of this map (I did) you can really see the momentum of the whole match shift when that happen. We played a round short a man and he did not make it back for 2 or 3 rounds due to the computer crash. That really sucked. I do want to give a major kickass good job to 6e9 though. I mean...they had their backs against the wall...down 2 maps to 1...were behind 3-0 on the 4th map and still hung in there to win a close map. Several other clans would have caved in and their players would have just gave up and got run over. They fought right up until the very end. Great job. Blake...make sure you say great job to all you guys from me. I am going to shoot for another match with them in 2 weeks (Tuesday, April 13th). The next match should be a real battle. If I get any demos put together from the match I will put them up here.
