MAP 3 - BALLISTIC (Twnz pick)
ROUND 1
What neither player needed at this point was this particular map, two hundred square feet of getting hit by pistols, sniper and minigun But that's what they got and even Twnz was surprised when he got to the Main Gate (with the armour) on a mere 9:22, after a timely headshot caromed off Wish's empty napper :cool: Three more Wish deaths later and Twnz was still going, heading round to the Genny and picking up the healthpacks. He decided to wait for Wish instead of jumping into the room, and Wish's fourth attempt was enough to kill Twnz off.
So began a long period of armour having by Mr. Wish. Twnz's sniper had been sent to the repair shop and he was getting nowhere, at least not until around the 7:10 mark when he headshotted Wish around the Gate and again grabbed the armour. This looked more promising and he surely would not make the same mistake twice. So he didn't, twatting Wish again and ducking under the pipe to shoot the Gen from safety on 7:00.
Wish killed him off and suicided, so Twnz respawned and went straight for the nest, without picking up any weapons. Enforcers had served him well this far, but a failed lift jump thanks to Wish's enfo lockdown saw him forced to run around the main room, picking up more health and pads after dropping Wish with the help of some luck. He tried to go low and then high with enforcers, but Wish's mini sent him to the failboat. His next run was with armour and vials, and he made the right decision to jump into the nest because Wish happened to be deffing low, although Twnz didn't know this. He didn't know his jump would fail either, so he kissed all three vials and a good part of his armour goodnight as he landed. Running low he took on Wish, sniper vs mini, in the main room and won, heading for the low tunnel as Wish respawned. Wish's mini could not erode his hp in time to save the Warhead, which fell on a handy 5:21.
Things were going well for Twnz, probably better than he expected, but the last time he had faced off against a 1v1 defender at the final obj on Ballistic was vs Riv, and we all know what happened to that. We had nearly seven minutes to think about it (last time I'll mention it, Twnz, promise) Wish was all over Twnz low to begin with, and even when Twnz shoved through Wish was in position well in time to catch him. That is until Wish fell to Twnz's enfos around the attack spawn and was not forward in time to prevent Twnz from hitting the Ops Room button. Twnz got into the room and Wish fell back to the button with a shock, still unsure of where Twnz was. Twnz leapt out, elephant-like, and began pistol whipping. His movement and the tight area gave Wish no room to repeat his AutoRIP Dev heroics and the button got totally pushed on 6:27 - nice time!
ROUND 2
Wish's minigun had so far been just that bit better than Twnz's, and it was this which got him to the Gate on his first run, at around 6:00. He brought down Twnz three times in a row and snagged the armour, and he had yet to fully die Twnz finally twotted him before he oculd reach the healthpacks, but now Twnz had no armour to rely on. Wish pushed through again but tried to be smart, going back for the flak cannon when he had a clear run at the Gen, headshotting Twnz as he passed. Twnz respawned and returned the favour, and Wish was back to square eight.
Twnz's sniper started putting in more of a shift for a while after that, until 4:30 when Wish sniper / mini comboed him and camped outside the Gate door, waiting on the armour. Twnz was camping at the vials, waiting on the armour, and neither could see the other. So when they both went for it at the same time they shat themselves, Twnz coming off worst in the brown pants dept. The Gen duly went on 4:08, after Wish, with full hp and armour, minigunned Twnz's face off and jumped inside. Twnz was in trouble.
Wish pushed inside low, getting a spree on Twnz, who had at least taken the pads to prevent 100/150 running at him. Twnz held Wish off but couldn't kill him, and Wish scrabbled around for more health. Both players were doing many of the same things in the same ways, it was fun to watch Wish eventually got twatted around the door button and Twnz pushed outside, going a bit crazy with rockets and doing not much damage at all. Wish went for the pads, already having nearly full armour, and Twnz chased him in with a mini, almost losing him as Wish ran out the door and into the low tunnel. Disaster was narrowly averted, however, and Wish had another go, with yet more armour. Twnz camped in the sniper nest and watched low, insteaf of checking for the pads, but Wish sniped him down with ease and ran low with that 100/150 I mentioned. Respawning, Twnz had only time to start firing his mini at the ramp, and Wish had far too much hp and armour for that to make a difference. The clock said 2:15.
Wish sneaked high with more pads and Twnz had to sui and fall back, more so when Wish hit the Ops Room and feigned to go inside. Twnz was alert though and his stand combo met Wish full in the face. Twnz next came low with a shock and got killed, so Wish used it to push forward and start a fierce shock battle in the last room. Twnz was forced to pull off a luckmeister secondary midair save, inches from the button, and Wish tried again. He was more successful this time, Twnz failing to do him any mini damage up front and then getting sucked into another hopeless battle around the ammo ledge. Wish won that won easily and Twnz's last gasp pistol hits from the spawn door were again not enough. Wish's map with 55 seconds remaining.

MAP 4 - BRIDGE (Wish pick)
ROUND 1
Twnz made the biggest mistake of the evening when he headed low and picked up the thigh pads from the hut, waiting on Wish at the Gate. He took some of Wish's armour off but Wish then hammered over and sniped Twnz to the deck, finding, much to his amusement, that Twnz had not taken the first boots. It was lovely in Wish's world as, having killed his only opponent, he was free to run back to the lift and bootjump to the Final, taking it on 15:20, a mere forty seconds in Bridge 1v1 is won or lost by a bootjump and Twnz had made the decision on respawning that Second was more valuable. And that's where he was when the message came through the console, with his little belt and his full hp
Obviously furious with himself, us, the world, and everything else, Twnz could only bat helplessly at Wish as he went for the Charges with keg and armour. Wish dropped him twice with shocks and all four Charges went, and Wish had yet to die by anything other than suicide. Twnz eventually got one lucky kill - not even a kill - when his rockets pinged Wish off the bridge as he approached the Detonator under a torrent of cannon shots. Wish took another three runs to get nowhere, although Twnz needed a lot of luck and more than one attempt each time to stop him, but the next keg + armour was the ftw. Twnz could do little as Wish's backhammer from the Charges took him sailing onto the Detonator by the 2:51 mark. Staggering
ROUND 2
Twnz would need massive amounts of luck and skill and Wish failage to take this map, and none were forthcoming. Long story short, what Wish didn't kill the cannon did. And Wish usually had boots on, too
