CSI over 2sM
As soon at the STA schedule came out, we contacted 2sM to change maps from 2fort. Anything was better than 2fort, we thought. Even a map we love to lose on, like gravelpit. Trife, one of our newest members in CSI, was quite excited to play his favourite map. It turned out to be a great match with a new scoring method we tried out. You score 1 'point' for each CP you cap, then if each team caps the same amount, the team with the better time scores 1 additional point. We agreed to this scoring method, plus a 2 medic, 2 demo limit, among some other class limits. It worked out nicely.
ROUND 1
Trife is asleep and will not wake up no matter how many times we called him. A first in CSIs history. I (Ok(i)pod) ran around as scout for the whole match, so I'm unsure of what happened exactly, aside from their scouts (and even medics) double teaming me everywhere, making me feel sad. All rounds were tons of fun, and really exciting. At one point, we had about 10 seconds left to capture B,and ended up pulling through, killing just enough of 2sMs tenacious d to give us enough time to cap. Each team ended up scoring the better time once each, leaving the first round scored 7-7. We died a lot, and they died a lot and it was fun. Trife is still asleep.
ROUND 2
This round, OD died a lot to stickies on the roof from his arch enemy polarity. Piping up there is surprisingly effective. Piping the enemys tower in C, killing 4 or 5 of them in the span of 3 seconds works really well, too. Thanks for letting us know, polarity. ;) Thanks to Octane's yelling on vent - plus his quick thinking in changing from medic to spy, a risky move - we were able to beat 2sM's times twice this round, scoring 8-6. It was a much more exciting match, I must say, than any we could have played with any 'normal' scoring method. Also, trife wakes from his hibernation and joins us on roger wilco, just in time to listen to the end of the match. Thanks for coming out, trife. I think this is what made us win that last round. Hearing his voice is magical.
It was the most fun I've had in a match for a while, even though CSI has had a lot of super close matches lately. This match would get my vote for the most fun so far. GG!
