Goldrush Map Recap And Results

[Rivanor 1]

Final result:

Goldrush team won Goldrush

Stock team won Steel

The Goldrush details:

Stock team was on offense first. We got off to a great start and basically steamrolled them all the way until the final point of goldrush 3 (the hardest point to take). Then something happened and we fell apart. We couldn't take down their sentry and we started standing around waiting for uber to charge. In the end, time expired, so we had the task of having to stop them from taking the final point in order to win the match.

So it was the GR's team for offense. We did an AWESOME job of defending GR1, with a few awesome kritzkriegs that wiped out much of their team. we ha the attic locked down. I thought it might be GG right then and there because they were running out of time fast. But we had a breakdown in communication and some of us didn't realize they were getting close to winning, so we were still up in the attic. We could've come help defend but alas, it was not to be. So they won.

Then they steamrolled us on GR2. We made a pretty decent stand on GR3, 1st point, then they steamrolled the rest of the way, and since we did not take the final point and they did, they won by default.

Their sniper and soldier were especially good at the end.

I got demos of everything, and I will post them later.

Deadeye is going to post what happened on Steel.

Steel: Stock Wins

We take A easily enough, barely get by at B. The sentry gun held us off until we capped with seconds to go. We try to go for C. But due to our team not knowing the map. Half of us go to E and keep going to E the rest of the match. lulz are had as we are stomped. We get 2 points on steel, pitiful.

Their turn is a rout. All they have to do is take 2 points in less than like 10 minutes. Stock fights hard for A, but we hold them off for a good while. However, their engie builds a sentry on D. We come out of spawn and try to take down the SG. However, the 2nd point is taken relatively easy, and Stock wins.

A good game to all. Lots of fun.

We were utterly destroyed on this map.

It didn't help that our team was going for E, by mistake, half the round.

A personal note from me: YOU GAIS HAS SPY ALARM?!?!?!?!

And fun was to be had by all. Someday h3gi I'll get you for reflecting my rockets so much .

[Storm38 Team Win 0]

Good game to all players. Perhaps we should do this again soon, I feel that both teams weren't at its best. But great game guys.

[myelin 10]

It was fun, thanks again guys. Rematch soon? Perhaps a tourney one weekend?

[FunkyFresh 68]

I was quite the terrible medic Sorry guys, I'll do better if there's a next time :(

Remember, that was your rocket that killed Funky and his kritz.

Murderer >

And thanks Rivanor for the demos. I thought I had recorded some of my own but I guess I input the wrong command.

Edit: By the way, our plan on Goldrush stage 1 was to ignore the sentry/attic all along. You can hear the chats to ignore it in the demos.

This is such an epic picture from the match. I got killed by Storm. SEE!! it is Team Win... such a perfect W lol. <3

[Captain Planet 28]

Someone needs to tell your soldier that before the match when everyone is melee-ing each other not to shoot rockets...

LOL

That's an awesome picture! Should go in the death freezecam section.

If you guys play again and the timing isn't in the middle of my finals week I'll play.

[Rivanor 1]

Stock fights hard for A, but we hold them off for a good while.

I watched that demo about 20 times last night (from different POV's) and I saw something different than what you described here.

Best quote from that demo is Storm38 over voice chat saying something like "Their engineer is building a sentry gun in a totally random place" hehehehehehehe. I keep picturing our engineer just arbitrarily plopping down a sentry in any old spot on the map. I think what storm38 meant was an "unknown" place, not a "random" place.

Good game to all players. Perhaps we should do this again soon, I feel that both teams weren't at its best. But great game guys.

Yes, I would like to do it again while I still have that server. I just need to figure out a time.

Cool, I'll check with you on a time later.

Let's definitely do this. Rivanor, do you use Mani Admin or the like? I'd be interested in discussing how you setup your server last night with the SourceTV and tournament mode as well. That was sweet.

I remember Storm saying that the SG was in a random place. I think he really meant that because we didn't know that map at all. I had never played it until last night!

Just watched the demo of the Goldrush portion of the matches. Pretty good game! Wasn't everyone's best effort, but it was very good.

Now tell me, how different is it playing against 9 skilled players vs playing against 16 mixed skill players on the normal public server?

Do you have stats from the match like most kills, most captures, most defenses, etc..?

[Nket 16]

Should be Goldrush on Goldrush, Stock on Dustbowl.. With actual Stock stackers..

[Chamrox 0]

You mean 16 vs 16, no class restrictions? I can see that.

[Spartan_0214 18]

If there's gonna be another one, I'm game. With the summer coming, I should be able to play just about any time.

16 mixed skill players on public server is pretty random in my eyes. You will win if your team has the right class mix and enough of a skill advantage. But whether your team is going to have the right classes is pretty random.

The 9v9 is a totally different game. Every single player is important and staying alive is more important. This is especially true of the medic. And if one player does not do their job, it affects the entire team.

I don't have any stats.

Here are some stats for you :

Cosby on your team = 100% win rate

I am that good.
