Yeah ArXra played very well I was impressed. ntd was lagging but his timing in game 3 home brought it home. I was looking for team episilon too spam the pumas but they didn't. I think the game would have been better/closer had they spammed them again. Did you see ntd's pumas doing damage to that tank destroyer in game1!

well I think that this win came mostly due to fails from Epsilon team hehe yeah I'm not any kind of an expert to give you tips though if you look at the replay they've did some major mistakes that makes ArX early advantages even greater. I mean so many mgs used so poorly... cmon guys why the hell they've got 2 of them facing same direction? or walk them into rifles though forced to retreat and leave the flank open, with all those rifles on the field you really should be more careful with your mgs walking to the front lines... as there were no fucking frontline ;] I'm sure you're aware that the bared rifles can take out an mg while he's not in cover still you keep setting them that way. With those 2 previous games axis owning allies they was probably under more pressure hehe as you know "they should win as axis ownz shit" the allies on the other hand got opposite attitude with something like "no fucking way this game will be different" and it was. I don't want to take the glory from good / solid us play I just think that the axis fail hard to counter it ;]
Win goes to ArX but Epsilon showed so much more skill. If Epsilon had been willing to just spam the pumas for the win and if Hicksi's keyboard had been working game 3 would have easily gone to Epsilon. It doesn't pay to try something different against a team who is going to play for the conservative and reliable win every time. That is the game in CoH these days - play the strat that works and micro the hell out of it ftw (or let your teammate do it while you blob control your pumas in reverse).

You're not making any sense. ArX pulled it off specifically because they did not play conservatively in game 3. They went double rax, and ra11 shocked the axis side with excellent rifle play all over the map.

Oh he never makes sense. Just wanted to add to your comment Ami that rainbow built more pumas in game 3 than I did in our only axis game.

Double rax is not an unusual playstyle for 2v2 - in fact it is probably the standard. WSC start is high risk and you really don't see it all that often, especially on a map the size of Rails.
