We jumped onto the server at 8pm sharp and after numerous round restarts, we began the Repair Tool showdown on Laguna Presa. After a quick cleanup by myself (lol4killswut), x5 took the Repair Tool win and after much deliberation, decided on Laguna Presa as the first map.
Map 1 - Laguna Presa
Round 1
Starting on US, we managed to have a clean roll out and take A and C. Our strong offensive gameplay was equally matched by the forces of aK as the holding of flags changed numerous times throughout the round. Our attention was quickly diverted from the game earlier on when one of our players was caught accidentally using a Gustav, though, Redding was kind enough to let us continue playing.
From the get go, aK were outfragging us and capped flags shortly after we took them. This led them having an early 30 ticket advantage within the first 10 or so minutes. Down 80-40 and with 1 flag, we decided to organize a strategic push on both A and B flags, but unfortunately for us (and for aK), the server randomly changed the map to Laguna Alta. After a strong global discussion, it was decided that aK took the first round 75 - 25 (50 - 0).

Round 2
After what seemed like an hour of discussion with aK and the admin, we finally kicked off Round 2. The results of the first round put a lot of our players off and caused us to loose our focus. Despite this, we started off well with another strong rollout, holding two of the three flags once again. aK were quick to respond, hitting A as we rotated our attention back to B. This round continued with a lot of rotating of flags for both teams and it seemed aK were always on the upperhand. The round finished in favour of aK 45 - 0.
Anarchy Krew took the first map 95 - 0.
Map 2 - Laguna Alta
Round 1
Sticking to the Laguna theme, aK went with Alta and we knew this would be a tough map. Starting as US, our rollout went smoothly as our attacking squad hit B and our 2nd squad slowly capped C with the armour. aK got the upperhand at B and it took us a good 3 or so minutes to regain the cap. aK's offensive style of gameplay once again was shown with a lot of quick flag swaps and heavy pushes on our back flags. With aK securing a 2 flag bleed midround, the ticket advantage kept us on the backfoot with them slowly winning the round 58 - 0.
Round 2
With a tough ticket deficit to overcome, we knew we had do something original to win this round. We took a strong offensive stance on Russia and managed to hold both flags for the first few minutes and take the 10-ticket advantage. We were running out of steam and couldn't hold onto B for much longer as aK pulled it back and slowly bleed us out. With a strong infantry team outshooting us and holding the majority of the flags, aK took the final round 60 - 0.
Anarchy Krew took the second map 118 - 0.
Anarchy Krew defeat Team eXile5 : 2 - 0
