This time around we had something sad happen. One of the teams didn’t show up on scheduled time, this not being the first time either, and they were disqualified from the tournament. Kind of sad because we won’t get the recorded games, but you can only jerk people around so much. More on that later. For now let’s focus on the TyRanT Z vs Niggas With Attitude set!
TyRanT Z (vs) Niggas With Attitude
The set opens quickly with everyone except DreaIVIS drushing. LeKy and Daut get locked into the drush war but some quick walling from DreaIVIS saves his villagers from any harass. Daut and LeKy both fast castle, LeKy going cavalry archer and Daut putting up a castle to start plumed archer production. Everyone slowly transitions into booming and Daut hits Imperial sending plumed archers all over the map. DreaIVIS swaps into paladins and with an asualt from TyRanT Z into LeKy’s base he is forced to resign. Both of TyRanT Z opt to drush in match two, cacthing both of their opponents unaware. LeKy has a good wall in, but that just meant DreaIVIS’s drush would go to No_Re_I_Go_Eat where Daut was already causing trouble. Behind this DreaIVIS and Daut both fast castle and Niggas With Attitude GG. Into game 3 already and TyRanT Z with a massive lead in the set are only one game away from victory. Everyone except Daut drushed in this game, however Daut fast castled and went straight into two stable production and started raining knight harass down on No_Re_I_Go_Eat with backup from DreaIVIS’s conquistadors. Daut and DreaIVIS are able to take complete map control and even break a towncenter of LeKy before LeKy is able to hit Imperial Age to abuse the Turkish bonuses. DreaIVIS then mounts a massive push into No_Re_I_Go_Eat’s base taking on both LeKy and No_Re_I_Go_Eat while Daut surges paladins into LeKy’s base with him completely unprepared taking the game and the set 3-0. TyRanT Z will be advancing to the next round, getting closer and closer to the grand final!
LB R4 Disqualification
Now the sad part. One of the teams from this round, SY A was disqualified, here’s the official statement -
“2K4 MY ASS have been awarded an Admin Win due to SY-A not showing enough interest in following the schedule of the MOA2v2 and show up at confirmed times. After extra chances already given, last time they were warned that the next would bring consequences, and therefore the Staff of MOA2v2 feels that an Admin Loss is in place in order to not cause any more unnecessary delays and to reward the dedicated teams.

The staff whom are still participating in the tournament as players did not have a vote in the decision.
The decision is final.”
A brutal but fair punishment. If this had been the first time they were late or cancled the agreed time I can imagine things would of gone differently. But you’ve got to think of the other players in the tournament giving up their time to be online at the agreed upon time. Congratulation 2K4 MY ASS, we will see you in the next round.
