What a weird game. Design building Raiders at T3 (and all the way till then). NOD letting Zone Raiders do massive damage, fighting them with heavy air, while having a big Specter army chasing Eiron`s heroic blue core Sandstorms around... that was just sad. c.c.Tay was relevant in this game mainly because of the ZR`s imba hp, when I watched skirmishes of some ZRs vs few Raiders I couldn`t believe, but to be fair, NOD had the whole Raider spam on the field available at the time so what happend was their fault. To me it seemed like ztomyell and Design were sleeping at times. All in all I don`t know what to make of it...but everybody has a bad game sometimes. Also, very low number of suppot powers used by both teams.
On the other hand, great performance by Eiron, arigold exploited mistakes in NOD`s play very well too. As usually just a solid reliable play by Michael. So I`d say it`s well deserved victory even though far from wub-material for me personally.

I picked up a comment from Design in game that he is trying to work on his offense game (he normally plays support). In doing so he seems to be experimenting with different unit types (he spammed mantis' in a game or two before this one which I played in). He is still awesome in a support role but is just trying to extend his game.
Noticed bardmans reply, but was a bit disappointed still of the raider spamming. Like instead of taking easy care of 6+ Zone Raiders he just way-pointed all his raider spam to GDI tib zone, only to see it getting to the GDI spawn anyways, so just lost time and units by achieving... nothing.
During that time, GDI also managed to capture all 5 nodes...
PS: Nice points for GDI, was cute seeing that GDI Commando capture the tiberium while being escorted by Engineer spam. ^^
Spoiler
OMG at the end, I thought why this was called "against impossible odds", GDI dominates the whole early game, when Nod hits Tier 3 they just own everything, would have been so sad to see Nod win this. Luckily GDI could still harvest the last few points.
Also, Nod, can't you see, stasis field don't work on Ion Cannon, really, stop that, 3+ wasted Stasis Fields on Ion Cannon that still killed them. >_>
