And Your New WZL Champions Are...
Filed under: Warzone
... elderslayers. After one hour and sixteen minutes of gametime ec took their second WZL title yesterday defeating Gust and DAMN_Yankees in four games. In doing so they probably set a new SS record in the gap between title wins as they are now season 1 and season 14 champs.
The playing style of WZ league games are determined in the first five minutes or so when the flags are distributed between the three squads. Yesterday ec grabbed 7 flags from the go then took them to the bottom left base while DY took the remaining flag to the castle at centre right. At the start of the game Gust only had half their freq filled (five players) so it was unlikely that they would look to take flags and hold a base at the start.
This flag distribution meant that Gust and DY were hitting es hard to take the flags, while es looked to counter at DY when they'd defended the attack and the other squads were greening. es' D held strong for almost an hour under this onslaught before DY finally got through. They managed to wall kill out six flags, while Gust's flank flew in behind them to take the remaining one and the base.
The focus now switched to DY's base. Gust's freq was now up to eight and they were hitting them hard, led by Red Cross' spider along with es (led by Tak and More Majorum), DY did lose the base to es at one point, but took it back.
While this was going on, More Majorum took Gust's single flag and then using a double teamkill move (which I missed as I was speccing the other base) es took DY's base and zinj escaped with the flags. It was now a case of zinj running with the flags, while the rest of the team protected More Majorum. Unfortunately with only seconds left before the win MM had to make a kill which reset the flag timer and with the extra time the base was lost when Ra killed him. By now es had set up at the centre top base with the remain 7 flags and the winning move was called.
es called a thor turret on Gust's flagroom. Ra had no chance. The kill was made by ec squad cap Wing Cutter. It was then a matter of getting the whole squad back to the base and defend the flags for the win. Which is exactly what happened. Here's the box score:
There's no rest for the WZ staff though. With the end of WZL the zone goes straight into preparation for the start of the cross zone WZ Cup. There should be a lot of news this week about which squads are taking part and how the draft will work. I've already noticed that there's a WZ Cup bot up in Chaos/league. So expect a few posts here about it this week.
