Niggas With Attitude (vs) Power of Japan A
The set opened with everyone except Chocobo drushing and Niggas With Attitude were able to get a small advantage. LeKy managed to fast castle behind this and start creating his cavalry archer ball of death and take map control while Chocobo transitioned into knights. With some great defensive play from PoJ A they were able to push LeKy back and take game one after a heavy paladin and plumed archer war. Game 2 plays out fairly standard through Dark Age but Niggas With Attitude manage to take a small lead during Feudal Age with some got economy harass. Escape manages to get his cavalry archer army up to size but Chocobo is in no position to build and army after LeKy’s harass. After some good teamwork from Niggas With Attitude they are able to knock Chocobo out of the game and force a resign taking this set to 1-1. Game 3 opens with a drush from both Niggas With Attitude players and everyone then walls off. A cavalry archer knight push from Niggas With Attitude is enough to contain Chocobo but it leaves Escape room to boom. Luckily the archer power of the Britons could not standup to the cavalry of the Franks and Niggas With Attitude are slowly able to push back PoJ A and take the game. PoJ A fight to stay alive in game 4 where Niggas With Attitude are pushing for the victory. With some amazing harass by PoJ A in Feudal Age they are able to take the lead. When Castle Age hits Escape hits No_Re_I_Go_Eat with some perfect harass knocking him down hard. From there Escape and Chocobo are able to corner and kill off LeKy’s army and they eventually take the game. With game 5 on us the winner will be going to round 4, saying doing everything you can to win is a given. Escape steals Leky’s boar. LeKy is able to steal a boar back but lost a villager during the lure. Everyone walls in and LeKy is able to get some good harass onto Escape while No_Re_I_Go_Eat is able to keep Chocobo contained forcing PoJ A to resign. Niggas With Attitude will be going onto round 4, getting closer and closer to the finals.
2k4 MY ASS (vs) SY-B
Both teams have shown their ability to work as a team and their skills as players. However, only one team is able to make round 4. Game 1 is played fairly standard but SY B is able to gain a small advantage in Feudal Age after some smart play and teamwork. When St4rk and _Just_Goku_ hit castle the rain hell down on Shai__’s villagers which puts SY B into a spot they are unable to recover from and GG. Game 2 plays out with everyone walling in. Yo_ drops a forward siege workshop on _Just_Goku_ but he is able to push it back with some help from St4rk. After a lengthy Imperial Age war and the appearance of Teutonic knights 2k4 MY ASS are able to slowly push SY B back and take another victory. With Yo_ and Shai__ now two games down they would need to win the next three to stay in the tournament. After a tower rush from Shai__ and _Just_Goku_ on each other we see a relatively short game with SY B able to take a victory. In game 4 Yo_ has some trouble fighting off _Just_Goku_’s castle push and Shai__ gets some good harass onto St4rk. With some good play from Shai__ SY B are able to hold out unti Yo_ gets back on his feet and Shai__ hits Imperial. After a great defense from Yo_ Shai__ is able to push into St4rks base and after another long game SY-B takes the game. With both teams on 2-2 the winner of this game will be advancing to round 4. Both teams played extremely defensive in this match but a double drush from both St4rk and _Just_Goku_ onto Yo_ gives 2k4 MY ASS a huge lead. With some double crossbow harass onto Yo_ in Castle Age and a castle drop Yo_ is still able to reach an early Imperial and begin to spam eagle warriors. The castle push from _Just_Goku_ is to strong and Shai__ is unable to break St4rks’s front line giving us an awesome ending to this incredible set. With the decider going to 2k4 MY ASS they will be advancing to round 4!
