WHAT A HOOT OF A GAME! BO showed their top line for the first time this season, and what better time to do so than the playoffs!

BO and HDO both got off to quick starts, with HDO striking first. Solid 4 man D held the attacks off, and gave Rise Against time to finish building. Eventually, Knights snuck off to attack, and before long, the battle went from solely at BO's base, to a back and forth match, with some close calls on each side.

Warlord gave HDO their first scare of the season, when on one solid attack he died shooting walls! On a few other occasions he continued to pester HDO and cause damage, with Knights also doing his share.

Despite the valiant effort and praise BO has received for making this series way more entertaining than was expected, HDO was still in control of the match for the most part thanks to some solid veteran performances.

Zhantrim was solid as mayor all game. Method was great- knowing when to sit back and defend – when to attack – and how to give IGGY more room and time with the orb. -IGGY- had a slow start, but by the end was blowing up buildings even with 3 defenders on him. Mak and Batcho were both solid 4th's, doing their part on D or offence at the right times. HDO looked solid and comfortable, never flinching an eye, never looking anxious or nervous, even come OT.

Great game, can't wait for game 2, hope its as good as game 1! Bring that same line BO!

JB had Ender, ~Warlord~, Deceth and Finn ready to battle SnG.. but they didnt show up!

RedxKing was ref, and was nice enough to stick around and run an exhibition game instead, featuring JB vs BO!

JB played, ~warlord~, deceth, finn and Stig against nemisis, rise against, darkn3ss and clientel.

After about 20 minutes Finn got the orb for JB!

Was a fun game, thx BO and redxking!

See you saturday SnG for game 2!

BO Loses Two Straight to HDO, HDO Moves On To Finals!

The game began at 3:02pm with BO choosing Harbin and HDO choosing Armidale.

BO's team consisted of Lightning, Hardcore, and Nems, with Darkn3ss mayoring. HDO showed a strong lineup of Anox, Batcho, and Iggy, with Merloch mayoring.

BO started out a little bit slow building, and HDO built up very fast, getting to 21 buildings in under 3 minutes. They began their attack shortly after, and were sending 3, and sometimes all 4 to attack at once.

Darkn3ss kept up with rebuilding well, and a strong defense from BO held up for 8 minutes, but the relentless attack from HDO managed to slowly chip away at the defenses and Iggy got the orb.

The MVP for BO was Darkn3ss, and the MVP for HDO was Batcho.

This was an exciting one. JB built from Hanoi and SnG built from Bishkek. When regulation started, both teams were sending 2 attackers and keeping 2 defenders until about halfway through regulation. Then JB starts to send 3 attackers forcing SnG to keep 3 defenders with wdouglas attacking solo until the end of regulation. With about 2 minutes left in regulation, JB takes out several crucial factories. End of regulation saves SnG and both cities are given a chance to rebuild!

Once overtime started, both teams sent 2 attackers. JB took out some turret researches right off the bat. SnG’s base just couldn’t take anymore bombing and no rebuilding being allowed. Finn opened the CC and Nightwish ran in for the orb 4:40 into overtime! Good game goes out to both teams! Only if SnG showed up to play in game 1 this could have been an exciting series instead of an exciting game! JB advances to face the mighty HDO in the finals. Can JB overthrow the almighty HDO dynasty??? BCL Finals coming soon!

This was probably the least thrilling match of the season. JB decided that they peaked in the semis and didn't bother to show up. Deceth was the only regular. Stig was their draft pick. Op and Costas were free agents.

The game got underway soon after 4 pm and JB quickly assembled the infrastructure of a base. At minute 1, they were then orbed by some n00b sergeant from hbo. LMAO.

Everyone re-gathered in the meeting room and then was sent back out to the battlefield. The game began anew.

JB was the first to 21 as Anox stumbled through his old Harbin design. Stig and Op pressed the early attack, keeping HDO on their heels. This quickly ended as HDO returned the favor. Before long, factories were falling like crazy and JB was dropping rebuilt turrets as fast as they could.

It was not enough.

The bombs kept falling and JB succumbed for the second time at 21 minutes.

This was a great game. Hopefully others who witnessed or took part will describe more of what they saw, as I was stuck up in my base most of the game.

The game started, with zhantrim, jml22, corey and Merloch for HDO, against the bunny line above which did not change all game.

Thats right, HDO brought out JML22! At first he was rusty and died undefended trying to shoot turrets, but by the end of the match, he started to get back in the grove and was becoming more and more of a hassle to handle!

Initially we had no ref to start the match, so rise against who was the only spectator was asked to help out, and I think we all owe him a big thank-you for stepping up to the task with no training at all! Half-way through the game, Friguy showed up to give him a hand

The game started with JB attacking first in under 2 minutes into the game. I'm not sure what happened during these attacks, but by the 10 minute mark, HDO started sending c0rey and jml22, and eventually Merloch would come sneak some peeks too From the 10 minute to 30 minute mark, it was mostly back and forth, with a few close calls for both teams.

With about 5 minutes left in the game, Anox who came in when Merloch left, managed to take out the JB turret factory! This resulted in a crazy HDO rush of 3 attackers which was looking dangerous, until down at Kuala either Flash or Ballsout took out HDO's bomb factory to save JB! JB then went on a 3-man attack until the end of regulation.

In OT, both teams were playing cautious, not wanting to loose any important building early on. Again, not sure what happened down at Kuala, but JB lost wall factory, mine research, DFG research-factory and many houses by the end of OT.

In the second OT, HDO came with 3 attackers right at the start and did some good damage. I think it was on his second attack, that -IGGY- rushed in the southern entrance, and ran right to CC with bombs all over wall factory. He was hidden from turret first behind a factory, and as soon as the wall factory blew, he had an open path to CC which he took, successfully owning me as I tried desperately to defend =p Our turrets in that area had not been replaced after the first OT, and IGGY saw the weakness and capitalized big-time for HDO!

Good game! Congratz on the championship. The third straight one! This team will go down in BC history as a dynasty, and I propose they be re-named from HDO to HDC.
