Agony Empire > Exiled Ones
Agony Empire: Rattlesnake Rattlesnake Hawk Merlin Merlin Merlin
Exiled Ones: Tengu Tengu Tengu Merlin
Exiled Ones decided that active fit MWD Tengus were the way to go. I'm not sure if they even had webs. Agony won convincingly.
Solar Fleet < Dead Terrorists
Solar Fleet: Sleipnir Sleipnir Scimitar Sabre Sabre
Dead Terrorists: Rook Rook Oneiros Enyo Enyo Maulus
Solar Fleet neglected to fit ECCM. This outcome was inevitable.
Lone Star Partners < Raiden.
Lone Star Partners:Vigilant Vigilant Oneiros Keres Catalyst Maulus
Raiden: Sleipnir Sleipnir ScimitarSabre Sabre
Both Raiden's sabres randomly charged the vigilants and died, but the vigilants didn't have the tank to tank the sleipnirs. They both died quickly, rest of Lone star's team followed.
The Kadeshi > The Space Police
The Kadeshi:Tengu Tengu Tengu Griffin
The Space Police: Talos Talos TalosTalos Vigil
Vigil and griffin quickly die. 1 talos is taking lots of damage while all the taloses chase the tengus....suddenly, a tengu and talos dies from full hp. Turns out they flew out of the arena boundaries.
Now just 3 talos vs 2 tengus. One talos is easily tanking the 2 tengus with its ancillary boosters (which are very strong but uses 'ammo', and once the ammo runs out it cannot boost for a full minute). Eventually the tengus die to the talos dps.
Hun reloaded < Perihelion Alliance
Hun reloaded: Vargur VargurHawk Hawk Hawk Hawk
Perihelion Alliance:Proteus Proteus Oneiros Incursus Incursus Incursus
2 Hun reloaded hawks quickly die. Vargurs have a 80km range on their guns but are orbiting the targets at 500m where their tracking is worst for some reason. A 3rd hawk dies as the vargurs finally kill an oneiros which was completely neuted out from the vargurs (which have 3 utility high slots each). All the hawks die. The vargurs continue to ram ship after ship (lol) while neuting them out and raping them SOMEHOW, while the commentators make the remark that the proteuses don't have a cap transfer chain going on and thus are dying because of this ???????????
The proteuses try to burn away from the vargurs even though the vargurs have handed them the advantage by ramming them. Rest of perihelion alliance fall.
Babylon 5.. < Nulli Secunda
Babylon 5:Vargur Vargur Loki
Nulli Secunda:Loki Proteus Oneiros Ishkur Punisher
Look. It doesn't matter how tanky your lineup is if you can't kill anything. You get points by killing things, not surviving.
Noir Mercenary Group < Elysian Empire
Noir Mercenary Group:Basilisk Ferox Ferox Blackbird Jaguar Jaguar
Elysian Empire: Rook Rook Oneiros Dramiel Thrasher Thrasher
Rooks jam everything, leaving an opening for the Thrashers and Dram to take out the Basilisk. The Rooks continue to jam everything and soon kill everything that's not fast. The Jaguars run away for five minutes and deny Elysian Empire precious points.
Red Overlord < R.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N.
Red Overlord:Tengu Tengu Kitsune Kitsune Dramiel Dramiel
R.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N: Machariel MacharielHawk Hawk Merlin
Dual rep machariels > ramming tengus
Fearless > Sleeper Social Club
Fearless: Proteus ProteusOneiros Incursus Incursus Incursus
Sleeper Social Club: IshtarIshtar Oneiros Ishkur Ishkur Iskkur
One of the Incursuses randomly went to 0 m/s and died shortly thereafter. After that it was a game of "kill the Oneiros," a game which both teams won after a short time. Then all the Ishkurs died. It was Ishtars vs Proteuses and Incursuses. The Ishtars had sentry drones out in the field. The correct play would have been to abandon the sentry drones and send out drones that could actually hit the incursuses, but the Ishtars seemingly forgot about that possibility until very late.
Darkside. > Razor
Darkside: Sleipnir Scimitar Cyclone Sentinel Jaguar Sabre
Razor:Oneiros Brutix Brutix Brutix Ishkur Ishkur
Razor, with their brawling fit, went after the nimble Scimmy aggressively to open the fight, with the result of doing no significant damage to any Darkside ship for the entire fight. A single Sentinel wrecked the caps of the entire Razor fleet and Darkside went on to roll.
Get Off My Lawn < Red vs Blue
Get Off My Lawn:Sleipnir Sleipnir Scimitar Sabre Sabre
Red vs Blue: Sleipnir Sleipnir Scimitar Merlin Merlin Merlin
The Scimitar of LAWN found itself in trouble near the beginning of the match. Trying desperately to follow LAWN's usual gameplan, he mashed the dock button. Unfortuantely, there was no station nearby, and the Scimitar, in his eagerness to dock, stayed at 0 m/s for an extended period of time. It died in a fire, followed by the rest of LAWN's team.
Agony Empire: Rattlesnake Rattlesnake Hawk Merlin Merlin Merlin
Exiled Ones: Tengu Tengu Tengu Merlin
Exiled Ones decided that active fit MWD Tengus were the way to go. I'm not sure if they even had webs. Agony won convincingly.
