Goldrush[/u]

Queens started as the Axis on their home map and the round begun as planned with miNd cleaning up the initial attack from the back and his team-mates sorted the rest. Monkey continued to attack the main-gate as field-ops, reigning annoying artilleries down into the Axis courtyard. With 5 minutes gone in the round Queens pushed out too aggressively and on the same spawn k1ck waited back, allowing them to move into the side area unopposed on the next spawn. They soon took the tank and moved it all the way into position without stopping. Some uncoordinated attacking saw the Estonian's try and attack the gold and the command post (unbuilt) simultaneously and they achieved neither, and letting the Axis regain some control. A few spawns later and a good distraction from monkey let his side build the CP and begin their attack on the bank. Queens pushed out on long-spawn and took plenty of fulls, letting StrAf (standing in for the absent freeze) take the gold and run it home to the truck. Some effective rambo'ing from NuggaN allowed the Axis reclaim the truck as it was heading up the slope and put a precious extra 2 minutes on the time set. 12:04 from k1ck.

k1ck started well on defence (much like they did for 2 full rounds against MouseControl) with effective spam outside the main gate and into side. A double frag from perfo cleared the way for miNd to repair with 10 minutes remaining, 3 minutes faster than k1ck had done in the previous round. monkey got himself a 4 man frag onto the rushing Queens players at the CP balcony and his side built the CP itself to buy themselves a bonus 2/3 minutes on defence. Queens blew & built the CP and begun attacking the bank with 6 minutes left on the clock and razz took the gold almost immediately, but he was shut down. Queens relentless attacking meant that k1ck could not set up their defence properly and the pressure finally paid off as NuggaN was able to take the gold and run it up the slope, across the bridge and into the truck with 3.40 remaining. razz followed this up with some textbook spawnkilling and the truck continued unopposed to finish the map with over 2 minutes left. 2:0 to Queens

Supply[/u]

k1ck's defence on goldrush wasn't bad but it was their attack that let them down so they'll have been hoping for a good round when they defended first on supply. Things started well for them as they held the flag for over 5 minutes, with some excellent spam from monkey and mant. kot got himself a 3 man kill which allowed Queens to finally cap the flag, and his side had no problem attacking the CP, main gate or East. razz was being his usual-annoying-self, jumping on the rocks to ruin k1ck's attempts to set up their outside depot defence. NuggaN flew through the East entrance and jumped into subbi's face, breaking the defence and his teammates soon followed as Queens pushed upstairs as a team. Despite miNd's best efforts to ensure their attack ended in failure by team-killing perfo and then NuggaN, before eating a panzerfaust in the face, clown built the controls and the truck didn't stop from then as the Allies set a time of 11:15.

The first 4 minutes of Queens defence passed without incident as they took to the more standard defensive positions and refrained from defending so aggressively. They were taking full advantage of their Impact-spawntime and it worked brilliantly for them as k1ck were finding it near impossible to get into down low, with miNd finding his groove and decimating all attacks. A 2 man panzer from monkey was the opening his side needed and with 7 minutes remaining the Allies managed to plant the forward bunker. Queens respawned and cleared the path for clown to defuse. razz was raking up the damage as a victory for k1ck looked increasingly unlikely. The Allies finally capped the flag and planted lower and it blew with 2 minutes remaining. miNd was determined to get as much (team) damage as possible and splattered NuggaN with a truly awful rifle grenade as the Swede was lining up a panzer shot. GGs were called and Queens ran out comfortable winners 4:0

Queens advance to the Loser Bracket Final tomorrow night, where they will play the loser of the Winner Bracket Final: G2P vs. Anexis

Contrary to what Baggiez said, miNd was the breakout player tonight. The whole team rallied behind him and took out one of the biggest Eastern European powerhouses - k1ck eSports gaming club. We wish them the best in future!
