POS FIGHT - correction
no ecm drones where deployed for this fight from POS. One of the phantasm took heavy damage but moved beyond the BS web range and became safe from keeping transversal. Scorpions had ecm drones on the field deployed on the phantasms. |

Originally by: ISD Serathu Ashk The only form of electronic warfare that appeared to be used in the match appeared to have been deployed by ûB- in the form of some sensor dampening drones.
Not entirely true, we had quite a bit of ewar a lot of it popped early though. |

Edited by: Qui Janador on 31/01/2009 19:23:11 Is there a reason the IRC vs AXIS fight is so short with not much to say at all? No offense, but after being a part of it and coming back to look at how our review was we get a few sentences sucks. Also, Who has the fastest match time? Ours clocked in at 2 minutes 46 seconds if I recall from when it was GO till GF from CCP Claw.
Just kinda disappointed that we had such a short review when others have huge reviews, regardless of how long (short) their matches were.

So I would have loved the reports to have included a bit more about our side of the whole BRUCE disaster. I do want to say "great job" to our team for pulling out a points victory after serious shenanigans. I think we would have advanced if Happy hadn't happened.
Well, we'll be here next year even better, good fights everyone and best of luck to the rest of you in the matches to come!

I'm sorry about this.
Unfortunately, this match had to be covered by one of our editors as we were short a reporter. Due to the time constraints on the editor, we were unable to produce a more thorough report. I will look to see if we can flesh it out a bit but I can't promise anything. |

Thank you for the quick response and the reasoning, I really appreciate it. You guys have been doing a great job, keep it up, and I hope we get our review fleshed out a bit.

Sorry, there's a decent amount of admin that goes into this kind of thing along with a heavy editing load (we normally do this number of articles in a month, not a day!) and I got caught by something at the end of the tournament.
Fortunately, all but one of the articles is posted now! |

Privateer Alliance vs Electus Matari
Reported By: ISD Amaari Yolkia
I basicly want to give my point of view on this match, because I've just listened to the commentators and they were really surprised we lost this match. There were several reasons why it didn't go too well, but I'll try to sum them all up:
- First of all we didnt expect them to show up with the same setup considering we showed up with abaddons last time and that could have put a lot of hurt on their shield tanking ships. Whether this was doublebluff, a lot of confidence in their setup or some other reason, I dont know. So we decided that there's a chance that they would change their setup to counter ours, we would just go for something else.
- Second we had to cover 50km to reach our targets. On top of that the maelstrom pilot made the right move to burn in opposite direction to make it harder for our plated thoraxes to burn over and put the dps on him (this is also why it took a bit before the full dps was put on the maelstrom). Also along the way one or two of our raxes got webbed by ishkurs trying to burn over. Furthermore, the ishkurs were all over the place, so making them primary would have given them more time to basicly shoot their primaries, because then we would have to burn over to our next primary once an ishkur was down.
- This 50km also meant that Vespa's needed a bit of time to cross over, so there was a good chance of one thorax to go down while burning over.
- Third the maelstrom didn't have all highslots fitted with guns, but he also had 2 smartbombs. This was one of the keyfactors imo why EM were so succesfull. As we are burning over, negating the damage of the drakes with our vespa's, a lot of them were wiped out shortly after. We tried to save as many as possible, but a lot of them were lost. This meant the drakes could focus on their primaries again. The original plan was to make the Drakes switch to FoF's, giving us enough time to gank the Maelstrom and then shoot the drakes.
- We chose the maelstrom, because of all the slow ships that were there we thought that the mael would go down faster compared to the Drakes that were there. Drakes have seriously strong passive tanks that even 8 thoraxes need a bit of time to kill them (althought it was expected that we would loose one or two while burning over). These ships were grouped together, that once we came in there, we could consequently follow primary, secondary etc. instead of burning all over the place to kill targets.
- I guess we also underestimated the damage of ishkurs once we were close, because we chose the drakes after the mael, but at this point I believe we lost already. The call was made to switch to ishkurs to get as many points out of it as possible to increase our chance of going through. In hindsight we lost the match before it started when we brought our setup, they warped in at 50km and the maelstrom fitted 2 smartbombs.
Anyway I hope this clears things up for the commentators and hope you still like the privateers <3
Also want to congratulate the EM team, gj. |

An extremely astute, honest and accurate description of the match. Privateers fought very well with what they brought and were excellent opponents. I salute your piloting skills. |

Originally by: ISD Serathu Ashk ôWe made it by the skin of our pod fluidö commented the captain for IDLE after the match, not bad for a team that could have prepared better: ôoh hell yes, we would have had a 4th Abaddon and a Damnation, but couldnÆt find the pilots.ö
funny as I am a near maxed abaddon pilot and could have easily gotten a damnation online.

Tenth Legion vs The Wrong Alliance
Reported By: ISD Clarity Brown
The Wrong Alliance scored their second flawless victory of this year's tournament against Tenth Legion, though by the match came close to running out of time before Tenth Legion's last ship - Jacob Mak's Vulture - finally fell.
Tenth Legion: 3 Griffin | 6 Drake | Vulture
[*snip*...]followed by determined fire against Jacob Mak's Nighthawk, which finally fell more than 13 minutes into the fight.
Vulture or Nighthawk for Jacob, then?
Awesome match reports, by the way! :D

Edited by: Alex Harumichi on 01/02/2009 11:00:28 The best laugh so far was the commentators in the last match (Cry Havoc vs Bastards) saying "Drakes are bad, we haven't seen anyone make them work"... when we actually did just that in the previous match. I swear, the commentators have attention spans of goldfish
Thanks to the Privateers for a very good fight, and the commentary on that fight (some posts above this) from one of them is a pretty accurate summary of what was really going on. Unlike the commentator version, which was mostly "Thorax good! Drake bad! Why aren't the Thoraxes winning yet?"

To the tournament commentators one free piece of advice: winning or losing is not a function of theoretical dps.
