Top middle Morl playing Isengard
Top right corazon playing Mordor

Vs

Bottom left x6tence|GB2 playing Gondor
Bottom middle Th0rin` playing Rohan
Bottom right Diesel (aka Witch-king) playing Isengard

First thing Diesel did was placing a beacon to advise his team-mates he will take the mill across the stream, I guess nobody told him both his partners are Experts, take it easy bros, the situation is under control, or so I thought so when I looked at the team at first look, I'd say the Bottom side had a little advantage, but by watching the replay, you'll notice a one sided Mordor game and all of a sudden the odds goes in favor of the Top team players.

In early game finalfantasy sent some knights to rush Th0rin`, and Diesel was first to press the panic button, having some pikes there earlier would have been better, so pikes were sent for next time but it cost Th0rin` his stable, x6tence|GB2 decided to do the same, and sent knights level 3 to destroy the stable in finalfantasy's camp, but a troll was in charge of cleaning the house, so x6tence|GB2 called off the rush, too late bros, Morl had pikes blocking the Emergency Exit, this is no Rohan's camp, with only one door to go in or out, you have to think twice before entering a Gondor camp with knights, and so x6tence|GB2 lost some precious units.

Then Morl decided to hit the left outpost, Th0rin` had archers inside the citadel, and combos next to the statues and well, he was prepared but he was no match for what was coming for him, corazon had a Drummer on the way to assist Morl's troops, with eye these combos would have been unstoppable, but the Drummer never made it to the rendez-vous, thx to x6tence|GB2! Only with Eye and assisted by finalfantasy's kights Morl brought down the citadel, then corazon sent his WK, but where are the drummers?

Whit a Mordor player on their side, the Top team players, had no need to urge for Lds from heroes, as long as the drummers keep coming, it's a different story for the Bottom team players, they have to do more with less in order to adjust to the situation, all heroes with Lds were welcome and Diesel knew what he had to do, Saruman first, units can wait! And so Th0rin`'s citadel fell, but with Saruman called for duty, the place was secured, for some reasons Th0rin` did not rebuilt, retaliation was his priority and x6tence|GB2 was ready to go for war, Gondor knights along side RA under GC were sent to make a hit and run on finalfantasy's camp.


After this demonstration from the Bottom team players it was time for the Top team players to show what they can do and finalfantasy brought Gandy to support Morl, if you add Gandalf to Drummers, on patch 1.06 we're talking of 400% exp for the troops! Now is the time to run! And so the outpost fell to the enemy's hand, Diesel had Saruman back on the right side of the map to lead his troops on a walk toward corazon's camp, while Th0rin` had switch from combos to RA assisted by Teo level 4(this means Glory Charge) ready to strike and take back his left outpost, Morl got confused between going forward with corazon's drummers and hit x6tence|GB2's camp, or going back to secure the outpost, or perhaps even help defend corazon's camp... once he noticed finalfantasy had his Gandy and knights to help out corazon and since Mordor had also catapults there, Morl decided to hit the Gondor camp, x6tence|GB2 had called Gandy for duty, but this one was supporting Diesel on the attack on corazon, so Th0rin` had to call all his troops to protect his Gondor mate, and forget about the hit on the left outpost, as a result both attacks failed, Morl withdraw from the Bottom left, because corazon had his plate full in his own house, it became impossible to properly manage micro with his WK and drummers to support Morl, and Th0rin` had RA on GC + Land to hurt Morl's combos really bad, Diesel had to withdraw too from the Top right side of the map, this one benefited twice from heal thx to both his team-mates who saved his Saruman and Lurtz from certain death, Nobody was to let a team-mate down in this replay!

After both failed attempts, the Bottom team players had some consolation, they were able to get back the outpost, x6tence|GB2 had his Gandy back home to clean up what was left of Morl's army and was ready to get back on track to Glory along side Th0rin`, without Teo, I guess a Gandy and a Aragorn will do to bring Lds to the troops, and this time it was Morl's camp who got hit, and then finalfantasy, did someone forgot about the only one emergency Exit issue? Gandy and Ara were both sent to bed, at least Teo was called back for action again.

This time the Top team players were done playing for fun, they had Gandy, knights, Saruman, Lurtz and uruk-combos to hit the left outpost again, they previously took out the right outpost from Diesel, and corazon had a mighty army of Trolls assisted by a uruk-combo from Morl marching toward Th0rin`'s camp, this looked not good for the Bottom team players, x6tence|GB2 and Th0rin` knew what they had to do, they abandoned the idea of defending the left outpost and sailed for Th0rin`'s camp, caught playing alone with himself Diesel seemed unaware of the emergency and lost Saruman, Lurtz and all his army due to stubbornness trying to fight a bulldozer with children's toys, can we blame him for trying since this bulldozer was on it's way to x6tence|GB2's camp, after barely making it to secure Th0rin`'s camp all 3 Bottom team players went to save x6tence|GB2's camp. Splitting their forces in two might be the reason the Top team players lost both last battles...

Then Morl had some intuition and bought the right outpost in hurry, seconds later the Bottom team players were messing his front yard, some units were sent at x6tence|GB2's camp maybe just to create a diversion, but the Bottom team players focused on getting rid of Morl, He was the greatest threat at this time in this game, Eagles were called to help, The Bottom team players had to hurry and give all they had.... for this Isengard player has the Rog now!

Destroying Morl's camp might be taking too long and Th0rin` had Ra ready to take the right outpost just in case, but help was too far away... Diesel! Where are your Zerks? This one was busy keeping Th0rin` on artificial respiratory system, thx to him, finalfantasy's knights could not finish the job after the Rog, and Th0rin` can live an other day, now he has the AOD!

After using it on corazon, nobody was able to help Morl stuck with only a little outpost the Isengard player from the North had given all he could and now was the time to say Good night! Next corazon was sent to bed, alone facing a Gandy, Aragorn and Teo all level 10 with the most impressive army on this replay yet, finalfantasy pulled the plug Good night!

Lose with Honor win with Glory!

MVP in this replay imo is Th0rin`
