Today, 29th August, Special Weapons and Tactics logged on for their second practice battle with Fire Vikings. The battle was won by SWAT 2-1-0.

Although this max is significantly worse than our last event (7, a ~57% reduction), the activity was decent.

Summary, courtesy of CPAJ Judge History:

Room 1

Room one began with SWAT entering in first, with FV being 35 seconds late with only a singular person. SWAT bombed for around a minute, after which they then made a vertical line. Judges noted that SWAT had good completion, whilst the FV had poor completion and pace. Sizes were 4-4. FV made a horizontal line, with there being AFK troops within their formation. Sizes were 4 to 3 in favor of SWAT. FV formations were also messier, with two people bunched when there was a big gap. SWAT then did a slow rake, with FV also doing a slow bomb. SWAT moved into a horizontal line, and FV moved into a poor diagonal. FV had poor pace, with the majority of their troops not sending tactics. Both armies had poor completion, with SWAT having bunches as well as being unsynced. FV then bombed for a second and then went to back to their formation… SWAT then did a waterfall, with FV being very inactive. Sizes were 4-4. SWAT moved into a diagonal, with FV raking for a solid five seconds, then quickly moving into vertical. Due to SWAT having better completion, pace, more activity, fewer AFKs, and better movements, SWAT wins room 1

Room 2

Room two began with SWAT entering in first, with FV making a chatbar line while the SWAT made a left diagonal. Both armies, quite frankly, died for a bit, with both of them also being out of sync. SWAT then did an emote tactic for a solid 20-30 seconds, with the sizes being 4 to 2 in favor of FV. SWAT then did a whirlpool, with FV defending poorly. FV then bombed, with both armies still bombing. SWAT then made a chat bar, which was quite close together for only two people. FV then did a left diagonal, which was bunched in the middle. FV’s formation was still messy, with SWAT doing a backwards whirlpool. FV then did an out-of-sync bomb, with sizes being 4 to 3 in favor of FV. FV then shifted into a waterfall, with SWAT forming a vertical line. FV then made a horizontal line, with both formations being neater than their previous formations. Due to neither army outperforming the other, Room 2 is tied.

Room 3

Room three began with SWAT entering in first; SWAT formed a horizontal line, with FV mazing into a scatter formation. FV then shifted to a chatbar line, with SWAT having better completion. Judges noted that both armies were dead. FV performed slowly but had better completion. FV then raked, with SWAT doing a quick defense. FV then did a vertical, with SWAT doing a late rake to which the FV failed to defend. FV had slow completion, with them dropping to 3, which equals the sizes being 3 to 3. SWAT made a left diagonal, with FV making the same formation as SWAT. FV then constantly moved formations, with SWAT being a bit more awake. SWAT then did a whirlpool, with FV doing a J bomb. Sizes were 4 to 3 in favor of SWAT. Judges noted that SWAT was quite active during the last minute of the room. FV then moved into a V, with SWAT J bombing and then shifting to a diagonal. Due to having better completion and pace, as well as having fewer AFKs, SWAT wins room 3.

What Went Well

• SWAT/FV Had better completion
• SWAT/FV Had better pace
• SWAT Good utilization of size
• SWAT Had lesser AFKs
• SWAT Had better movements
• SWAT Had nicer and creative formations
• SWAT Quicker to enter rooms

Even Better If

• SWAT Spread out more
• FV Constantly dropped sizes
• SWAT Send tactics more frequently
• FV Defend better and try not to have big pauses between tactics
• SWAT/FV Ensure formations are neater by avoiding gaps, bunching and troops out of formations
• FV Avoid exiting the rooms as much.

Note: We do not know what “mazing” is meant to be.
