Map: 3TCTF10 'Final Fight'
The final game of the season and a crunch game at that. With the Merc team already relegated to division two either the NKO or TF were going to join them, who would it be?
The NKO fielded an extremely strong five player team packed with lots of 3Team experience and on a map that we love whilst the Merc and TF teams could only muster three players a piece. It looked like we'd romp home with our first win of the season. The team tactics were simple, up front we had Drew and Venom who have in the past have been prolific FGs in 3Team CTF. Whilst in the centre of the map we had Hawk arguably our best DM'er to be used in a piracy role and at the back the two NKO stalwarts Nemesis and Hetter.
The NKO base was never really threatened with all the teams realising that our two man advantage would be too much to overcome so the vast majority of the flag grabs with against Merc and TF. Both Drew and Venom excelled in their positions as both managed double caps. Hawk revelled in his piracy position and his superior DM skills made him an extremely dangerous opponent for the enemy FGs and a welcome sight for the NKO FGs. He managed to steal a number of flags and deserved his position at the top of the scorecard. Nemesis and Hetter did a professional job at the back with frequent calls to the others that base resources where available. Fully in control the NKO cruised home to a ten - twenty one - six victory and consigned TF to relegation.
The game would have been much more fun and no doubt closer had the opposition fielded full teams but we're not complaining.
