Round 1: ut4_subterra
Facilitator: fu daddy
SUB:
Red Captain: Acetone
Blue Captain: String
Red = 3
Blue = 2

Another awesome round in what has been a great several weeks of scrims. Blue was dominating throughout, beating red back at the stairs and not allowing easy entry through the operating room. Zane even got to red's window several times. Red's left team was at a stalemate. It all changed with under two minutes to got with blue up by two. Pandora got through the operating room and stole their flag. I took the chance that blue would go after her and not worry about their flag area and I was correct (for once). As soon as she capped, I took it again and didn't see one blue guy the whole way. Great backup by red. Red capped with about 10 seconds left to tie it. 7 minutes of overtime showed some good shooting by both teams, but red prevailed. Good round.

Round 2: ut4_kingpin
Facilitator: Dankrider
SUB:
Red Captain: Frog
Blue Captain: fu daddy
Red = 0
Blue = 2

10 on 10 with a small map usually means just a bloodbath. However, this one turned into a good strategy round. Blue focused on the flanks, trying to not allow red to take the broken building or high on the left. It also helped that blue's flag is a bit more tough to get out. Several times red took this building and pushed middle only to be shot dead by respawners. Blue took advantage of when they killed off red, taking their flag and capping both times. Another good round.

Round 3: Eagle
Facilitator: Dankrider
SUB:
Red Captain: Pandora
Blue Captain: Reflux
Red = 0
Blue = 7


Good rounds everyone! Come back next week for more action!

I had great fun playing in the URT scrim. I believe the last game was eagle and it was an embarrassment for half of us. just as well you don't have a screen shot for that one ;) Congrats to the Blue team on that one.

I have no screen shots but we were able to launch a 5 v 5 scrim with battlefield 4 after the urt games. We played some obliteration which is like similar to urt bomb mode except either team can pick up the bomb and plant it at the opponents designated objectives.

It took us a while to set it up . Hopefully the next match will have a smoother setup.

Updated the battle rant to include the screenie for round 3

Subterra - One of the best comebacks if not the best of all time during a FSK405|N-Friends scrim. with one minute left Red was already starting to say "Well GG within our TS channel". As the flag was captured re-grabbed and captured for the win. - I will say, this was a team effort as we paused the game twice to amend our strats, it worked.

Eagle - As the facilitator I thought the teams were unbalanced and encouraged swaps but the captains denied. This round was over before it began

I have to say, must be a bug in 4.2. Frequently, when the other team or your team grab a flag there is no alarm sound made. I think kEEpEr and myself had just spawned, and through most of the match I was going through the hole in the wall to cover right, but with only seconds left, I headed for our flag area only to be shocked that it was gone! Within about 5 seconds more, the red team capped for the win! At least 3 or 4 of us were clueless that our flag was even gone. I would have headed for the hole at spawn to try to cut off the red FC.
Anyway, it was a great round!

Agree with the consensus, last week's Subterra round 1 comeback was one of the best and most dramatic in recent memory! Thanks for the taunts, Keeper and String; but thanks even more for the last minute collapse! **CHOKE** :-)

Thanks FSK and facilitators for leading the fun - much appreciated!

Can't make it this week - enjoy!
