1.06

Overview:
This was a truly excellent match. All players were aggressive throughout, and each had countless near death and near victory experiences. Fitton started out strong, and was probably the most consistent competitor. He harassed both opponents constantly, almost never letting up. Xion went for GWs mixed with fast lings, and managed to fend off his harassers. Isen had an unsuccessful start. Elves LW rush nearly wiped out his economy and ground his early uruk harassment to a halt. He was forced to scramble for wargs, but they proved to be his turning point and his place in the match stabilized. Eventually, with first rate teamwork, Fitton and Isen took down Elve's base, but Isen's fell seconds later at the hands of Xion. Both baseless players survived, but together, Xion and Elves managed to overcome Fittons continued harassment, and finished his and Isen's base with a balrog and upped Lancers.

XionMaster & ELSchlachto
You both had excellent starts. Xion's was more defensive at first. You had GW fending off Fitton's GW, and were holding out for lings. This was a good idea, and held off your opponents' harassment for a while. Your expansion and stance usage was great early game, but kind of faltered as time went by. Your power usage throughout was very good, and you managed to stop quite a few of Fittons attacks with the watcher and wild men. Although you were able to pull off some harassment, you were a little too defensive, and Fitton probably would have taken you down if not for powers and your Ally's assistance. Your purchase of Shelob was a little needless, the money spent on her would have been better used getting UPs, but she worked out admirably.
EL also had a great game throughout, even when his base was wiped out. Your LW rush really hurt Isen, and you mixed units well. You really didn't make any serious mistakes at all. You were aggressive, expanded, used stances, had excellent teamwork, etc. However, you just couldn't stop both of your opponents hammering you. Try to build extra raxes to have a constant supply of troops, and to self destruct structures to prevent your opponent from getting pp. These little things can make a big difference. When your base went down, you still brought the fight to your opponents, and contributed a lot to your team's final victory with Lancers.
All around, well played.

What this player/team can improve upon:
Stances - Don't forget about them as the match progresses; they're just as helpful as they are early game
Expansion - Gives you a constant, strong income and allows a bigger cp limit
Build Extra Raxes - Allows you to handle both players with a constant spam of units
Self Destruct Structures - When they have no chance of surviving, blow them up to prevent your opponent from gaining, and to pick up a few bonus resources

Fitton & UK|SEAN
Whew, you guys blew me away. Fitton played a first rate game throughout; some of the best micro and harassment I've ever seen. You attacked both players, brutally and constantly, with always a thought to your ally. You kept up a GW spam, but mixed in HTs and the odd CT, which allowed you to handle most everything your opponent's threw at you. You faltered in your expansion early game, and this held you back from even greater harassment, but you still pulled it off exceptionally. Your stance usage was pretty good, but you seemed to forget about it mid to late game, and your attacks suffered slightly for it.
Sean had a tough start, but he made a great comeback. A warg rush is just about always an efficient start vs Elves, but since you waited a little while to activate palantir, you didn't find out until too late. When you did get wargs, you really turned the match around and became quite aggressive. Your expansion was good, considering the harassment you endured, as was your stance usage. Your double team attack against elves was very well done, but you failed to finsih him because of lack of clumping. Your troops were in a huddled bunch getting shot, while your front fighter were doing all the work. This also prevented you from getting back to defend your base, and lost your fort in consequence.
regardless of a few minor errors, a really impressive job by both players.

What this player/team can improve upon:
Stances - Don't forget about them as the match progresses; they're just as helpful as they are early game
Expansion - Gives you a constant, strong income and allows a bigger cp limit
Faster Palantir - Its important to know who your facing as Isen, as well the time to prepare for it. Palantir buys you both
Clumping - Gets the maximum amount of your units into battle, and prevents them from being killed needlessly
