#03 - Squidward vs |D|daelmun

[daelmun]

Yep, should be a good game. I only need to be able to stay awake till the game starts, but I should be able to do that with some effort Maybe I better learn to enjoy drinking coffee soon.

Great games railbait, you played well in defense and had some nice rails thrown in there. Hard to be aggressive on q2dm3 as I tend to fall into lava instead, so I just tried to play safe and fortunately you jumped into lava instead of me. And tried to be not all too agressive on aerowalk after getting the lead I wanted, but you also played smart in defense making it hard to gather a lot of frags. You had a nice rail there, while mine was not really at the same level in those games. Anyway, good games, don't like beating out players with good attitude like yours after seeing adrenal1ne's behavior, but we'll meet again

Thanks Dael. They were good games. I had fun, except the lava bit. 

You are an amazing player. Your map knowledge stunned me. Great job! Good luck in the rest of the tournament. My money is on you!

I do look forward to playing some matches with you in the future.

Thanks to both!

Thanks a lot for demos, and they were in eyes too!  First time ever I've seen a demo of myself in chasecam, and I must say it is fun.

Just watched both of them as I don't really remember much from the games as I just had dragged myself out of bed (it was at 4am my time, and I actually hit the bed 5 hours prior to catch a few hours of sleep). Actually think squid did quite a good job on defense on aero, it's really hard to run the lower levels like he did for most of the game, and I'm pretty sure he didn't know the map as well as I did. Q2dm3 is hard to rush for frags when people play defense, but had a few lucky moments there were I almost fell into lava myself, and his -5 score doesn't show how he played.

Fairly happy with the games though, the horrid rail aim aside I think I played as I planned, I played it safe and tried to be in control all the time. Didn't rush frags and took it easy on the extreme spawnraping. Known Railbait from back on zone where he used to be quite a fragger in FFA on the Fmax server Good times

I watched the demos also. Nice map lockdown by Dael. Good demos to watch for his strategy. I did about as well as I expected, but the better man did win. Nice job Dael.

I have attached my view for anyone who wants to see me kill myself. 

After my involvement with this tourney I have a few thoughts.

I enjoy 1 on 1 with people who do not trash talk. Dael is the type of player more people in the GX community should emulate.

I didn't feel "right" playing under the name Squidward. Weird, but Railbait fits me just fine. hehe 

This tourney is being run Very Well! Kudos to you guys. Great Job!

I shall look forward to another tourney in the future.

Watched your demos, and you played pretty much on defense all the time. Hard and pretty tiresome not being able to get control, and it's hard being that patient. Again, well done running the lower areas on aerowalk.

Yeah, think the name was the major cause for you falling into lava. But somehow I suspect my rail would have been better if you played me as Railbait

Anyway, bad luck for you not being able to show off your game vs a FFA player instead of a die hard tdm'er. Think you would fare well against not so experienced duellers with your aim and good thinking.

Always a next chance, so hope there will be more tourneys to come
