[Clover5] vs. <@>

[momoki]

Regarding the match:

Date: Sunday 19th February
Time: 2 pm GMT
Size: 3vs3
Players: Taigar, Garox, FNsvr
Map: Since its a 3v3 we would like you to host: Newfort.
Mode: CTF
Rounds: 2x30 minute rounds
Mods: If you can make it like Shams' little Pony. No mods is fine too.

[TheGrandmaster]

We accept, as you already know.
NewFort is quite a complex island map to choose, especially for 3vs3, but if that's what you really want I'm ok with that.

It's not so likely we'll be able to use shams - more likely to be Minit or my own hosted server.
I'll post our 3 once we have talked around. I know I can make it, so that's potentially 1 member, but I'll edit this soon to add our lineup..

[Tank]

I don't think Newfort would be a good choice for a match like this. Just from the look of it, I doubt it would prove it be much fun, also, for a three versus three match, it would be much better if we used a smaller map. 'Isle of War' and 'Island Passage' are commonly used when we have smaller scaled matches like these, and they do prove to be a good.

[momoki]

I have looked at the map you usually play and the one I had in mind shouldn't be larger than that. I may have picked the wrong name. The one i thought of, is a map with a small island and two small forts in each end. At bottom of the map, there is a blue and a green spade sign. The reason why I suggested this, is mainly because it is the smallest map I could think off and everytime sham's little pony lack players, the map usually gets changed to that one, so I figured out most of us must have played it atleast once. Besides we haven't had the chance to play Isle of War or Island passage.

[TheGrandmaster]

From the sounds of it, newfort is the map you are thinking of.
<@homps> TheGrandmaster, newfort most of the time!
<@homps> well you can certainly do it, but there are lots of places to hide in newfort
It may be a bit complex for our size, which doesn't make it all that interesting for a match.. if it were 5vs5 I can see it becoming a good map due to the routes, can't personally envisage it with small numbers.

What other maps have you played?
Island?

[momoki]

Well, I would say places to hide is a positive thing, which would provide a tactical aspect, compared to a head on rifle battle. I will be able to use rifle if needed to, but I would prefer using smg. We have played most of the maps provided on sham's little pony, but I don't recall any maps smaller than newfort?

[TheGrandmaster]

Well, we just had a practise 3vs3 on that map.
Can't say we enjoyed it. Though it's small, it's still complex and hard to get to the intel without spending ages sneaking or going wide in water, seemed a very stalemate-y map..
You can hide, but given the distance and the # of players it's more walking anywhere than action. None of us had > 2 ratio.
Have you played izzy's 'Island'? It's not the smallest but it is simple - which is good for small matches.

[momoki]

Well, I disagree with the simplicity. If a player keeps away from battle, it would be like a 2v3, which is clearly unfavorable. Besides, in a simple map, its alot easier to end in a situation, where neither parties are able to move forward. But let us make it like this then. Since you prefer simple maps. Lets make the first round a map of your choice and the next newfort. We will just have to try out whatever you throw at us, afterall we will certainly learn alot from this match :] i don't know the names of alot of maps, but we might have tried it, if it has been on shams. I don't think it would be a good idea to choose a larger map though.

[DUHsoALEX]

Newfort is kind of big for a 3vs3. Yeah, I would recommend Island or Isle of war.

[momoki]

Newfort is just as big as the other maps, its just more complicated.

[TheGrandmaster]

[momoki]

Second round was a pure massacre :P Otherwise, a very good experience, which certainly shows the diffenrence between clan matches and normal play :] GG

[FNSaver]

Indeed. I was the weakest link. Salutations to the Operators.
