UL2 round 3: eh vs USSR

Snow (Gandos, Mojave, AAssie): On this map we quickly realized we were the better team. Despite a map with some tricky spots, we only allowed the russian team one point. Good driving from all elk hunters.

Desert (Gandos, guom, AAssie): Also on this map eh was clearly the better team. I won most rounds, but when I made a crash G&g was there to save the day.

Coast (Mojave, guom, AAssie): As we expected both before and after the warmups, this was where we would have to drive very well to win. USSR, headed by Molot, proved to be much stronger on this map than on the other two. Molot won the first round, but eh finished 2-3-4 and got the point. In the next two rounds I crashed early, something USSR took advantage of to take the lead 2-1. Then I got my act together and had some intense fights with Molot for the win. Luckily for my and unlucky for Molot, or maybe because I pushed him very hard, he often made a mistake close to the finish. And in the rounds were I wasn't in front, Mojave quickly took my role. We took four points in a row before USSR reduced to 5-3. But now we were really getting focused and wasn't about to be stopped. We took the next two points on good team performence, and I finished by driving the best time of the day. We met some good opponents on this map, and I'm proud of how we managed to drive our very best when it really counted.

7-1, 7-0, 7-3

It was nice personally to be well trained for the first time this season and really be on top of my game again. But without the excellent performence of my team mates this win would have been a lot harder to accomplish .
I think the team managed to give guom a great present on his birthday!

very nice report AAssie!!
i liked ur performance on every map. it was very impressive seeing u driving 3 maps well focussed. Our team was pretty strong yesterday and it was great fun driving this match. On snow the opponent was too bad, so it wasn't thrilling even though the map was lovely for league gaming.
on desert i speced guom all the time, sry 4 that.
coast was great fun. we did very well and they were close enough to make the match challenging
