LanSmash 24th and maybe 25th Sept

Posted by frag_spawn on September 10th, 2011 @ 09:15

6 snappers were on last night and with some of us drunk, we all agreed to be in Nathan for LanSmash’s next event SpringSmash. Specifically to defend our honor of 2nd best in a 6v6 TF2 comp Sat Arvo.

Those out-of-town snappers interested are welcome to crash at my place, and the usual post-smash glow LAN can be here on Sunday.

6v6 TF2 scrims

Posted by frag_spawn on July 15th, 2011 @ 16:05

I’ve signed up ClanSnap on this site ozfortress.com, the signup for scrims requires at least six of us. To do this we register on the ozfortress site then associate this new user with our clan.

Our proposed available play timings are 8pm through midnight Thu – Sat
It would be real nice if we could get more than the minimum six snappers, if only to make the match quota on any given match we agree to play.
Grab your steam ID too, it’ll be needed to get the signup done right. (More info here)
Search for the clan SNAP, then click the link on the right that says ‘join’
They also host Mumble servers, for which we may have to login to during our nominated matches. (get the client here)
FYI there are no divisions between n00bs and l33ts, so we are probably gonna get p0wned from time to time!
I also read somewhere that ozfortress runs on +11 (Eastern Daylight Saving) ALL the time, so be prepared for Queensland Bumpkin confusion when organizing matches!

At WinterSmash 2011, SNAP came first…

… well the first of the losers at any rate.

I apologise in advance for the brag post, but I felt the need to share some of what we got up to over the weekend.

The comp

With 12 teams in the running—LanSmash’s largest TF2 tournament to date—the SNAP 3v3 team were in for a challenge. Fumbles (Heavy), Shmitee (Medic) and Nakor/Tofu (Tag-teaming on Demoman) were out of practice and largely unfamiliar with arena mode and competitive play in general.

The team entered for a laugh, at best.

Rules of engagement

Arena mode, 3v3 teams, limit of one of each class, first team to 6 points wins the round.

Blow by blow

In round 1, SNAP initially went down 3 points to 1, but managed to pull it back for a 6/5 victory.
In the second round, the opponent scratched, so SNAP took an undeserved 6/0. Under the swiss format, this ‘big win’ meant the team would now face the toughest opponents.
Round 3 saw the team again take an early beating, down 4 to 1, yet the Heavy/Medic combo worked hard to pull the score back to 5/5, and in match point, Demoman cliched the victory. (Video for this match embedded below)
In the fourth round, SNAP suffered a crushing defeat 6/1 to the top seed ShadySux who would advance straight to the final match against the second ranked team.
Tied for equal second with Failtrain, SNAP had to compete to determine which of them would enter the final. Again, the opponent gained the upper hand early on, and again SNAP were able to claw their way back to s****h win from the jaws of fail, final score 6/5.
This meant that the FINAL became a rematch of SNAP vs ShadySux. Luckily the map Nucleus favoured SNAP’s close quarters style with ample opportunity for Fumbles’ signature ‘Drop Heavy’ attack. SNAP were even able to pull ahead to a 5/3 lead. Unfortunately, ShadySux were quick to adapt, turn the tables and take the win.

I’ve learned something today…

Firstly, frag_spawn and Rammy are great strategists. Their counsel was much appreciated and helped the team prep for coming rounds.

Also, TF2 is still a great game! And, competitive play is fun, who knew?

I’m definitely keen to feel the rush again, and if anyone else is interested, I think we should look for opportunities for scrimmage! (TF2 or even BCBF2). Who’s with me?

There can be only nine!

Are we ready to take our TF2 to the next level?

I’ve got a couple of classes I reckon I could play comfortably, but bags not spy, sniper or engy (I am truly dreadful at these).

First nine on the line and we can enter.

What say ye?

The new mutation for Left 4 Dead 2 is “Last Man On Earth”

You will become legend to the infected as the last human left.
You are the only Survivor left in the world. No split screen help. No Survivor bots. But don’t worry you aren’t entirely alone. While there are no common Infected, Special Infected will hunt you down and become close, close friends with you.

It’s fun! But not co-op. A jockey jumped me straight away but it wasn’t an instant incap, although it takes your health right down the mutation lets you stay on your feet for a chance at revenge. Not many chances though.
