Meh, Horse essentially lost cos he was obviously not aware of the mechanics behind the new strafe. He tried strafing either lonely units, or stationary units behind cover, with 0 effect.
Thus, Horse played essentially w/o doctrine, while Seb used his abilities to the fullest
The game was kinda entertaining, but can't wub when the best player loses like that
I agree. This game showcases the new strafe in a great way. I didn't even know it was altered, so props to relic for this (late) reaction. Regarding the replay, I think I never saw Seb loose vs Airborne when he picks Defensive Doctrine, which he does almost everytime. Airborne just has no answer to the medic bunker and to the Flak88 due to the lack of Arty.
Yeah, watch this replay and then either of Contador's games against 12ocky, or Darwin vs Seb 2 (where Seb is Wehr).
Between the two you'll get a pretty decent view of Strafe's dos and don'ts.
Oh, and Barton vs Darwin (Darwin Wehr) is another with a ton of Strafes. It highlights why even with a couple devastating runs Strafe isn't something you should be relying on too heavily against T2. Darwin overruns Barton with zombie Grens.

OMFG! DrHorse must've been chewing his shoes in frustration
Awesome game, 23 kill Quad and Seb showing his finest; that damn intensity in holding on after a shitty start and never spending a drop of resources on something redundant.
Wubbed for both players - I hope we'll see more of DrHorse after the Beta, he was one of my all time favorites. Can't help but smile when I think of what Bridger could've made out of this replay in Tales of Heroes; this replay has got that stuff that made ToH legendary

DrHorse pushing hard since the start to crack me down.
My heroic sniper managing to stay alive the whole game against strafe, 2+ US sniper and recon run.
Includes a pretty epic Quad too.
