This game is less competitive than the one we had on the server last night.

It was a roll and a half... which was refreshing after last week.

Feel sorry for the fro, Blue team playing way too defensive.
Hey, that level 3 sentry was a big part of the shutout. They got a point right after we got 11, but I think they touched it a few times earlier, only to be driven back by the sentry.
There was that point, maybe right at the start of the second round, where we spent 5-10 minutes trying to hunt down their intel so we could actually finish. I think Matt had the intel as spy for ages, lol.

3 or so minutes maybe?
lol am i listening to the other team's voice chat?
and i thought this was supposed to be competitive. i see people chatting all the time, scouts trying to fish kill, etc etc.
edit: ah nevermind. the guy just said it's not the actual match yet

Oh I see, they switched sniper/soldier or something after our 6th cap; the 2nd sniper was using the Sydney Sleeper.
I saw one of Failgorn's failjumps in the replay.
EDIT: Around 50:00 they seem to claim that the other team scored a point, "It was 10-1". GAF DEFEND OUR HONOR.

you guys should play these guys: http://www.ugcleague.com/team_page.cfm?clan_id=4728
that's the Lions Den team, I guess. i'm better than them but whatever, they'd probably still beat Team GAF

Zarnmonster is a good sniper. Leroytirebiter is a decent soldier.

Should have dropped the intell and let thefro carry it. Then you could have back stabbed their engie/pyro.

I think they just saw someone had their ring on. Oreo?
YUUUUUUUUUUUP B)
I wanted to post about them mentioning that, but, you know. Modesty and shit.
That whole vid was just super satisfying to watch. Maybe a really good team could have poked holes in our strategy, but I thought we did really well and the video shows it.
Not the best casters in the world, but I wouldn't mind them casting our next game. Just in case there's a lack of demo files again.
And this top ten play is pretty good. Watched it over the weekend. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5bCQSJJC4I
As for the match itself, I have no complaints. You had a strategy, went in, and executed it. Running with the Kritz for the first half of the game demonstrated just how bad every sentry spot on that map is. If the level 3 isn't forcing the other team to use an uber, then you might as well use a mini.
But you guys picked a strategy, stuck with it, and covered each other. Made changes as you saw fit. And weathered the storm whenever their better players started to go on a streak. You did good.
Edit: Oh jeez? It's already 1AM? God dammit. I need to start doing research on cp_Standin. I think the map is interesting, but I also feel like it's really better for 6s rather than highlander. Even if it allows for a bunch of split up strategies.
Also, it's one of those nightmares-for-Medics maps.

What ring?
EDIT: Oh, nevermind. I remember now.
Clydefrog, I hope you're still saving up for mine.

Blizzard, Oreo and fallen did a really good job holding top middle for almost the entire game. It's just so hard to cap when the other team does that. You don't have a good entrance or exit to the intel room if you can't use that upper entrance.
19 minutes and some seconds

Do you get paid everytime you post about Lion's Den?
ughh... good win. but shitty stream. They aren't the best at being announcers. I was getting dizzy with all the camera switches.
Blue just never really got there shit together. They just seemed really unorganized for a "team". You guys claimed high ground/middle early and they never got a good enough push to move you back. gg

Huey on a cp_standin highlander scrim. It's a bit of a roll, but it's the basic strategy for us to use. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsl4hwNwCb4
Looks like fun. He mentions that the points don't have a limit on the cap speed/multiplier, and it seemed to be kind of important in a few of the rounds he played. Scout and pyro might have to run a lot of solo routes to delay enemy caps, it's gonna be hard to take that third point and defend the other two at the same time with only 9 people.

Mystery is part of the fun, my friend. I mean, imagine if you sent it to the wrong person? Good story to tell.

Demos and Soldiers with Pain Train; we all rush A (or C) and insta cap it with 12 "people" then Demo/Soldier jump back into spawn to swap out their melee weapon while the rest of us roll on to B; Demo/Soldier rocket/grenade jump to quickly catch up.
WIN.
I think the safest thing to do, if we can't cap a third point while stopping them from stacking one of the other two, is to just let them do it. If we swap caps, it'll still be us two to their one, and then we can rout them as they try to push to the next point.
The strategy might devolve into Tic-Tac-Toe in a sense. There may always be a single most logical move to make, and then you just have to clash for a battle. Whether you win or lose it decides which point you try to cap next. Two good enough teams will probably cap in circles and have up to ten minute rounds, in the same way two good teams on Granary will constantly push each other back and forth between middle and second.
The added crowding caused by it being 9v9 rather than 6v6, combined with there being no cap speed limit (need to check if that was changed at all for the current version), may mean that momentum from a fight will carry you further and end rounds quicker. On the other hand, it may also mean there's always someone to delay a cap long enough that you can't win quickly. I'm most worried about the latter scenario.

I like all 9 going to cap a point at the start. Then you can move on to the next one, and maybe have an engagement. Winning the engagement definitely puts you ahead. If you lose, then you go get the point the other team took at the beginning. Plus with all nine together, you could possibly take out opponents that have split up their team. You can have an engineer set up a base at the point you first take, which will delay recapping it. Spy could also not be with the team and try to pick off split opponents. If you succeed at not only taking the first point and the next point, then send the pyro or scout back to the further delay the team in getting them back. I think this match up will favor whoever sticks together the best.

I believe it was the update that allowed you to wear a second misc that shot it up in value.

Hell the only two times it was on me was when I did short spy camping and when I had thee intel. They skipped right over me when I was about to get the engie. I feel hated.

It freed the rest of the team up to hold middle or run offense 95% of the time, which was key. You'd need at least 2 people to hold the intel otherwise.
I know Proven said there's no good sentry spots on the map, but the couple I was running are deceivingly good. The big key is that sentry location forces the other team to push in from the bottom and likely back out from the bottom as well, due to some of the map quirks. And that's much slower than the middle.

Something that makes you lose UberCharge besides death would make me rage.
LOL, oh god this great. "Sixghost is.... getting a lot of work done."
Fuck I should have signed up. "There... appears to be a soldier... running around in circles on the point... whipping people?"
