Result: [M] Wins 5-5 (Flags > Frags; 981-887)

[ Basenji's (Spec) Demo | TN|Arc's Demo | TN|Trinity's Demo | TN|Zero0's Demo ]

Studs of the Game: 	Tarrant[M], TN|Arc

Stud Analysis: 	Tarrant[M]: Certainly all of [M] played magnificently, but
		[M] simply would not have won without Tarrant piping. When
		TN touches 111 times and only caps 5 of them, there is no doubt
		about the quality of the piper, especially on 32smooth. Also
		of course, 89% efficiency (117 frags, 14 deaths) is MVP worthy.

		TN|Arc: Burns defenders with his 300 ping; a legendary figure 
		in 32smooth history. Top TN capper with 2 of the 5, but had a 
		legitimate chance at 2 others defended in the TN tower by [M],
		plus a sure relay ready at the end that might have won this game.
		Showed off incredible moves, possibly the greatest play of the 2nd 
		half with a flag grab by jumping off catwalks and grabbing it while
		atop the rook, giving no chance for Tarrant's pipes to blast him,
		thus setting up a later cap. Many other TN's can be considered,
		especially the game's top toucher Penny, and TN piper Spoo. Both
		forward defenders on these teams deserve more credit than they
		are being noted for.

1st Half Commentary:

		Possibly one of the best 32smooth games from a defensive 
		perspective, with the map's 2 top offenses of the time
		combining for only 3 caps on the top defenses. The TN
		Offense penetrated incredibly well into the flag room,
		often knocking the sentry out. Tarrant and Fox were the
		dynamic duo at the flag however, making save after save.
		On the other side, the TN D was remarkably well prepared,
		neutralizing Prez-Fu's spying adequately. Hellsent and 
		Lanfear however did combine for incredibly impressive numbers
		through the stiff competition. Hellsent without a doubt made 
		the play of the half, with an opportune flag grab with a 
		rocket jump all the way to the stairway, through the RR. 
		Lanfear brought it home for the 1-1 tie until Hiro's late cap.

2nd Half Commentary:

		Clearly one of "the most amazing, sensational, traumatic, 
		heart rending... exciting, thrilling" finishes in the history
		of 32smooth! Both clans playing their absolute stud lineups,
		both playing with incredible poise for the one and only TFCL
		Championship. The [M] Defense was nearly immovable as
		a result of Tarrant's boggling piping, definately the key to
		the victory. All 20 warriors played the full 60 minutes to
		their greatest abilities, as shown by the final score of 5-5.
		TN was the hotter Offense, but [M] was the hotter Defense.
		There are 2 actions that stand out as reasons for TN's loss
		of the title because of frags. First would be TN|Spoo's 
		inaccurate piping of the Lava stairway, allowing the scout to
		be only wounded while dashing out with the flag. Tarrant[M]
		demonstrates the correct way by throwing the pipes through
		the small holes of the railing. The other less obvious mistake 
		is TN|Sweeper's missed conc jump to the tower for the last
		TN cap. TN|Arc was money for a relay cap, but as a result 
		of Sweeper's miss the cap was delayed terribly by [M]'s 
		brilliant last stand at the TN tower.
