HEADLINE!!: TBWA def ZULU 3-1
TBWA - Etern,
Nano, ID, BmoC
Zulu - Perite,
Wizard, Baron, Bumble
Report:
It was 30mins before the match, and 4 hours
before Nano had to be at school. Guess had instructed Nano the
night before to come on if possible to replace him because of the
ping outs the day before. So it was 4:27am and Nano had 3
alarms going which finally woke him up :) He assembled with the
rest of the TBWA crew to take on a very confident ZULU.
The first flag run was a chain flag :) BmoC
picked it up at the base with Nano behind him covering
while he went across the bridge, unfortunately both died but Etern was
on the spot to pick up the flag and continue the run. Etern also
died though after relentless ZULU chasing at the halfway mark.
However ID was there to pick it up and bring it back with help
from BmoC and Nano covering behind. This gave us the 1-0 lead and a
confidence booster.
The second flag run was a great solo effort by BmoC to
get out of the base, and then met halfway by the TBWA cover. This
return gave us the 2-0 lead.
However the next flag run wasn't ours but a ZULU run. Wizard, the
magnificent wizard of lag, picked up the TBWA flag and then
proceeded to fly on a magic carpet through the team to give ZULU
their first cap, with the scoreline now reading 2-1.
TBWA didn't panic though, with the relentless attack of the
flaggers with BmoC up top and Nano down the bottom
splitting the ZULU defence and BmoC brought the 3rd flag
back with another magnificant solo effort to give us the 3-1
victory.
Congrats to all bubbles who played, we showed those ZULU's what
we can do in a 4on4 :)

APL Game #5

TBWA - Guess,
Etern, Nano, ID, (sub BmoC)
Zulu - Perite,
Wizard, Baron, Bumble
30 minutes before the game started, TBWA practiced for 20 minutes
in a private map. Then we assembled to play the zulu squad..
2 Minutes or so after the game started Guess and Eternity were pinged out and their
connection was whacked from Ten. After a few tries of signing
back in finally they made it back only to be thrown out once
againt after 30 seconds.... During this time it was 4 on 2 vs
ZULU with only Nano an ID playing for TBWA. A few
minutes later Eternity managed to sign back on
Ten and instruct BmoC to fill in for Guess to make it 4-3, leaving us only 1 man short. Eternity was able to join the game
1 last time for about 1 minute, while she was in she killed off
the zulu attempting a flag run and was instantly pinged and
booted from Ten once again. Once BmoC joined it was only 4-3 however BMoC got booted leaving us with
4-2 once again..
At this point, neither Guess or Eternity could even get back on Ten.. However once the game
ended they both were able to sign on Ten without any problems.
As with all this happening we lost our first APL season game in
history.
Congratulations to ID, Nano, BmoC for sticking with the game even with 4-2 for most of match. TBWA managed to take ZULU almost the entire 30 minutes of the game even at incredible odds.

APL Game #4
TBWA Wins
3-0 Vs DP
TBWA-- S-Shot,
Etern, ID, Day61
DP-- Chizard,
Ghul, Oddish
This match didn't start out too well for DP:( they only had 3 members show, so we played a 4 vs 3 anyway. At the beginning of the game TBWA broke into DPs base. Chizard pinged out for DP and never got back in. So the rest of the game went on with 4 vs 2:( TBWA scored a smooth 3 flag runs by ID, Etern, Day, and the game was over. Even though DP was at a huge disadvantage they still had positive attitudes and were great sports to play with.

APL Game #3
TBWA Wins
3- 0 Vs Jade
TBWA--
Prunus, ID, Guess, Etern, Bmoc
Jade--
King, Theus, PPE, Tony and Chevy
It was a 5 vs 5
matchup
TBWA started out strong and marched into the Jade side of the
map, but the respawns were able to hold us back for the first
strike and flag run got stifled...
TBWA bounced back and kept attacking the red base and finally
were able to come out with everyone still alive and defend the
flag back to take it home for the 1-0 lead..
Lots of fighting taking place in the Jade area, Jade Tony lagged
out quite a number of times. each time firing up about 1/2 the
map as he left:P
Within a few more minutes we managed another sucessful flag run
as we went up 2-0.
Bmoc came with the last flag run
and was covered excellently as he took it all the wasy from Jade
back to TBWA base while smokey.

APL Game #2
TBWA Wins
1- 0 Vs CO
TBWA--
Guess, Etern, S-Shot, BmoC
CO--
Blizz, Belson, Tech, Spiffy (sub- Ogre)
Game
started out with a fightout in the middle, CO was able to kill
TBWA off and made their first push ot the TBWA base.. Once TBWA
respawned CO was quickly killed off and TBWA moved into the
offense.. About 8 minutes into the game, CO had our Flag while BmoC was tring to escape with
CO flag on bottom.. TBWA ended up getting our flag back and CO
was able to get bmoc before help could arrive.. leaving the game
still at 0-0...
CO was able to grab another flag and kill off all TBWA and leave
base with all TBWA just about in holding....Etern was able to hold them off
at the middle till the other TBWA respawned....TBWA manouvered
and sourrouned the midddle of the map, leaving no easy exit for
CO.. CO tried to blast through but was killed on all sides.. CO
was always on the offensive, but just didnt have enough power to
drive any flags home..
With 13 minutes remaining the game was a dead even heat with no
team being able to score... Finally Bmoc was able to penetrate the CO base and escape with
the flag with down the middle.. However Red quickly got up and
killed Bmoc off.. Guess zooming to the scene shot
up Spiffy, just as he recovered the CO flag, Guess killed Spiff and grab the
CO Flag... Thanks to TBWA teammates, Guess just barely escaped in
the middle and around for the score with CO in almost every
direction to put up TBWA 1-0... From then on CO pushed even
harder to Score, possibly to much as the offensive (Tech) always
snuck into base and grabbed the flag about 8 times just didnt
have enough CO cover to get the TBWA base.
The last 10 minutes CO was Flag crazy trying to tie the game up
to 1-1, but they just couldnt get past the TBWA defense. TBWA
focused on defense the lasts few minutes to seal the victory..
TBWA wins 1-0..
Overall, CO is looking better than ever, put up and excellent
fight and better than any of our previous games we played against
them..

TBWA def FFoD 2-0
TBWA:
Guess, Etern, Nano, Goose, BmoC(sub)
FFoD:
Pengo, Cow, Diss, Rbrad
Report:
It was 15mins
before the game.. everyone was rushing to the arena while Guess was snoring. Etern, his trusty alarm clock,
then went off and Guess awoke to assemble with the TBWA crew ready to kick
some frog butt.
At the Beginning of the match, We noticed Goose riding the walls.. He left
couple times came back and played with the wall again, so we
decided to sub in BmoC. For 25mins of the 30minute match it was a
stalemate but with nearly all the fighting taking place in FFoD's
base. There were many individual flag run attempts in that time
by us, but all of them were picked off by the swarming defence of
FFoD.
Our 2 flag runs came in the last 5mins of the match. The first
one was made by Etern who nearly made it all the way, before she decided
to catch a bomb on her head right at the flag holder. Guess cleaned up and it gave us
the 1-0 lead.
The second flag return came as the result of a gigantic offensive
push by TBWA which saw BmoC storm their base and come out with the flag and
every TBWA still alive to cover him. BmoC made it halfway before he got stuck in a little
corner and was killed by Pengo. Etern tho was on the spot as usual and cleaned up
brilliantly to bring back the second flag with 5 or so seconds to
spare.
FFoD was a very tough opponent and will no doubt be a major
contender in the rest of this APL.

Jan 10 -- APL League Championship Match
HEADLINE!!:
TBWA Defeated EgO 2-0
TBWA
Team: Guess, Etern, Nano, day61 vs.
EgO Team: Chaos, Gopher,
Dragon, Kinetic
---------------------------------------------------------------
Report:
This was our second match against EgO
today. The first one was plagued by page boot problems so we
totally restarted. Everyone was getting anxious to get this game
over with so in we went.
After ALOT of stalemate fighting EgO grabbed our flag and killed
all TBWA defenders. Nano had just respawned
and was the only one close to them on the map. There were 2
defenders and the flag carrier Dragon. They were just entering
their base when Nano caught up to them so we thought we had lost
it. But Nano killed the 2 defenders quickly and approached
Dragon and killed him also. The rest of the shocked TBWA
finally caught up and returned the flag. Guess
referred to it as the play of the game, but it also was the
turning point.
From then on TBWA seemed to gather a bit more composure and also grab
the flag more. The first return came when Guess, Etern and Nano
stormed into the Ego base and Nano came out with the
flag. Etern and Guess covered excellently and they all made it halfway
before being swarmed by Ego's and dying. However, day
respawned and was able to pick up the flag and bring it back to
base with the rest of TBWA
covering him. We took the important 1-0 lead.
The second return was also a bit of a scramble. Nano got
past the Ego defenders with the flag and at the same time Chaos
got past the TBWA defenders with the other flag. They were heading on
a collision course until Guess luckily respawned in
the way and immediately killed Chaos. Guess and Nano then
returned the flags with Etern and day61 covering brilliantly as always.
The rest of the match was just a couple of grabs by us but
nothing eventuated. EgO put up an enourmous match and it was our
hardest yet by far. We are now ready for the final against PB
prolly better than we were last time.
Till then, be a happy bubble.

HEADLINE!!:
TBWA WINS 3-0 vs uFo
TBWA
Team: Guess, Etern, Nano, Goose vs.
uFo Team: MoonSkt, Yebo,
Galthor, Acolyte
---------------------------------------------------------------
Report:
It was 45mins before the match.. and with
no sign of Guess and Etern, Nano was becoming really worried. They turned up
2mins later.
The game for the first 10mins was a stalemate... with flag grabs
by both teams not eventuating into anything. Eventually the
breakthrough came with Guess but Moon also grabbed our flag and made it to the
half way bridge. Etern and Nano were there however to recover the flag and bring it
back for the 1-0 lead.
The second return came when Nano snuck into the uFo
base and killed the 2 or so weakened uFo players defending to
escape and hold off the chase until the rest of the TBWA crew
caught up to cover. Nano returned it for the 2-0 lead.
The third return came by the way of a bird named Goose, who
silently snuck into the uFo base and glided his way out. Goose
returned it for the 3-0
win.
We played very well in this game to overcome a determined uFo
outfit. Remember now we play EgO tomorrow for a spot in the APL
final.
Till then, be a happy bubble.

HEADLINE!!:
TBWA WINS 2-0 vs Ego
TBWA
Team: Nano, Goose, Atomic, Knight vs.
Ego Team: Chaos, Dragon,
Iginest, Gopher, Alpha
---------------------------------------------------------------
Report:
Well this was a match in which we had to
prove that we didn't need the awesome skills of Guess and Eternity
to win :) With 1 hour to go Atomic was going crazy,
crying in fact, hoping that we would get enuff players. Nano
remained totally calm the whole time, and sure enough Goose and Knight
came on.
This was not an easy match to win, but we were never in any
danger to lose it. EgO marked Nano well most of the
time.. always having a guy on him and usually two. Atomic was
rocking in defense as usual, which slowed down the usually
dangerous EgO attack. Goose and Knight were blitzing in offense.. always keeping EgO stuck
in their own half of the map.
At about half way thru the match the breakthrough came. Nano
finally got past his guy grabbed the flag and worked his way with
the rest of TBWA covering.. down to the bottom of the map. But a
smoking Alpha got in the way and slowed Nano down
who was eventually killed on the half way mark by the chase
behind. Knight then with Goose's help picked up the flag and brought it home for the
1-0 lead.
The second return was similer but a little more chaotic in the
end :) Nano got past his marker with ease and grabbed the flag
quickly, with Goose below him in support. Goose covered excellently
and with Nano creaming anyone that came near him. While this was
happening Iginest grabbed our flag and met Nano just
as he entered near our base. Nano hid behind a wall
from igi, dodging bullets from chaos.. until the rest of the TBWA crew
caught up. But Chaos was doing alot of damage from behind him..
so Nano and Igi made a charge at eachother.. the result was
both of them dropping their flags and killing eachother. Knight and
Atomic were on the spot as always and picked up the flag.
But were quickly smoked by the chasing EgO's who had time to
catch up. Nano and Goose then held them off tho for Knight and
Atomic to make the 2nd return.
The last 5mins was full of lots o flag grabs by Nano but
none went anywhere. We all then just held off and brought home
the bacon :)
Congrats to everyone who played.. and for day61 for
being our sub. We really proved something to ourselves today.. im
proud of you all. *sniff* *achoo* stupid dust.
Remember to keep practicing for our next playoff match!
Till then, be a happy bubble.
