It's been awhile since I last did a write, but in the wake of current events and all that, thought I'd give everyone a bit of added light reading.
QUARTERFINALS
Stray vs Spider
1-2
GAME 2: (I wasn't around so can only base my judgment off final scoreboxes, thanks Wirah)
Stray vs Spider
34-50
The ending result due to not having to play a 6* has shown to be evident time and time again, dating back from Beast's choke in DT-D finals. Ancient Jebass got absolutely dismantled round 2, finding a sole r3 kill that was likely a lucky STRAY (haha). Crip didn't have much going for him either, as leader Dak led the spooders to outplay their opponents both short range and long, 33 to 19 kills and 10 to 6 kills respectively. Ease put in a great effort, but being the only + scorer at a +4 proved to be only a small plus in an otherwise gloomy round.
Hot: Dak (14-4), Ease (14-10)
Not: Jebass (1-10) It's playoffs, so I decided not to say anything mean to the underperformers.
GAME 3:
Stray vs Spider
45-50
To everyone's surprise in spectator chat, Jebass came out of the get-go poised to redeem himself from a poor performance round 1 leading the score for his team with a fiery 5 out of Stray's first 6 kills of the game. Paladen's OG has finally returned! Or not....Spider quickly brought him back down to earth as his hot streak came to a streaking halt with a 1-7 ending, courtesy of many blank drifting into bullets and Flew singling him out. Jurassic continued his strong play from round 1, showing exactly why he is one of the stronger 7* warbirds this day leading the way for his team alongside Dak. Shoutouts to Ease and Zap to make the ending of this round be a slight nailbiter, but playing the game to most of its entirety 4v5 proved a crutch too big to overcome. Questionable action by Zapata to bench his fellow 10* Mythril, as it is to be noted that one of the reasons Stray got this far in the warbird division in the first place. However, what's done is done so better luck next time.
Hot: Dak (13-10)
Not:
Giants vs Treyway
1-2
GAME 2:
Giants vs Treyway
35-50
10th round 10* pick RaCka continued his strong play with a solid 3 KOs, leading the way for the Treyway squadron. Captain morph went for a very respectable round to provide good support for his top drafted warbird, while Lockdown had a fair outing so the Treyway core got the job done. And to give credit where credit is due, Treyway's low star Unlimited had the epitome performance of what a 6* needs to do, to stay alive but also provide some pressure wherever possible. Having maintained at 4 deaths for the good remainder of the game, good work
. Having run the same 10-9-8-7-6 composition as Treyway, Giants found little success this round as turban was the only member that barely crested a positive score. Guess starting up 1-0 didn't make much of a difference.
Hot: RaCka (15-7, 3 KOs), morph (12-9)
Not: Mean Gene/RUCCI (5-10s)
GAME 3:
Giants vs Treyway
45-50
As the best game of this season's quarterfinals, this round went down to the wire. Gene tried a lineup change to a 10-8-8-8-6 which worked for the most part as it made a much more competitive game. However, the big reason why (yes, I will tack the blame on you) Giants couldn't pull off the victory was a horrendous start by 2nd overall FA pick Jack starting 1-5, and substitute Steadman couldn't provide any offense either. Even though they didn't receive much help from the rest of the lineup, Giants' main core of Iron Survivor and turban recorded a walloping net 31 kills whilst on the opposing side RaCka, morph, and Lockdown continued their strong outings from Game 2. The round was neck to neck all the way to the 40s score, but Giants collapsed in spectacular fashion after RaCka netted the final kill on opposing 10* Iron. Did RUCCI shoot more than 5 shots in the remaining segment of the game?
Hot: Iron Survivor (16-10), turban (15-10), Lockdown (14-8), morph (13-10)
Not: Jack/Steadman (combined 2-10)
