BTA private games

[UnifiedDoom]

Here we go, with a sixths bta clan 4vs4 replay.
Maybe Unifieddoom wanna give a little game description?

note: it took 145mins.. : p

The Early game here is pretty interesting actually. Helicopter+Antigrav combination allows light force to take an early lead in middle with 2 stuns over Dark Force's Raider+Demo. Bottom lane is pretty standard light tank vs medivac, TC_Mad_Bull (Dark Force Medivac) takes an early lead, but the lane ends up becoming a standard, tier 1 air + hull vs tier 1 air + hull. A thing to note is that like stibi said, both players take storm tank so if anyone is interested in seeing a storm tank mirror and how it works this is a good replay. Now top lane is very interesting this time. It's scout+electro (lioooil) vs heli+plasma (Fighter). I think people underestimate Scout-Elec a lot, lioooil shows here that even with the slow start he still manages to get a quick level lead over his opponent. Fighter invests skill points in heli's bombard (ground only) to nuke the scout, however lioooil takes medivac to nullify this. Fighter makes use of a lot of consumable items here (maintenance, troops, and later nets). However lioooil demonstrates his insane ability to farm and save a ridiculous amount of money on the lane in the early game without losing his lead. He then uses his money to buy something that would get him kicked in a qualify game . There's also a funny play of Fighter using Nets+Bombard to kill lioooil here. lioooil manages to kill fighters tower despite Fighter possessing a mech, but camping+ganking by Light Force players, along with good use of consumable items by Fighter prevents him from taking the cp, lioooil even ends up dying a lot of in the process giving Light Force a bunch of kills. The momentum in the middle shifts as well, antigrav seems to be somewhat lacking during the middle game, despite it's stun and disable (I also ended up making all my spells cost more than my max mana pool whoops ). Also superior teamplay from Dark Force mid, focusing all spells on one player during all the fights. The midgame tank composition in mid ends up being Hunter+Heavy (Dark Force) vs Heavy>>Frost+Sky Tank (light force). Dark Force manages to get a lead in mid here, MC_Ren shows superior play as a hunter. However two players from Light Force have both saved up a lot of money at the 40 minute mark, after some debate they decide to both get frost. At First the game's momentum doesn't change, however eventually Light Force makes use of portable factory cp takes (imba) to take control of most of the cps on the map. The Lategame team composition ends up being: infernal, infernal, sky fort, hunter (Dark Force) vs frost, frost, sky fort, infernal (Light Force). This game actually shows that frost is actually quite good in the lategame, frost+axes can hold it's own against infernals and even titans if played correctly. After a lot of back and forth, titans start appearing, at first from the frosts and hunter, but later the infs as well. The game seems like a virtual stalemate, everytime a team loses a major battle they also end up losing like 2-3 cps. At this point there is a 3/4 vote to -giveup on Light Force, not because of a assured loss but because the game seems endless and people want to sleep. When Dark Force pulls ahead and attacks the Light Force base, fighter uses sneaky mech play to take virtually all of the cps on the map. However after an extremely long game, Dark Force manages to pull out a victory, Swarm of Chaos really shines here, taking out protective towers and the main base extremely quickly.
