Come on Jimmy. You know you don't suck. (Although you may have to abandon your gamepad and give the keyboard one more shot

). Don't get discouraged-- that won't help you at all. You can't get better unless you lose and learn from your losses. Review those demos, soldier!
Okay, the official report:
First map: DM-DE-Grendelkeep. 71 to 21 in favor of DøM. This was our choice. James is improving steadily and he learned a real lesson here about proper shield gun usage. At first it appeared that we were going to take the map, as we had early control of all three major powerups, but through joint fault we were unable to hang on. DøM was very good at sticking together in a group, and so even though they weren't able to cover as many powerups that way, whenever you fought them you were usually outnumbered. These sound tactics won them this map.
Second map: DM-Antalus. 63 to 15 in favor of DøM. This was their choice. This time they varied their strategy and split up, keeping Mize on the lightning gun hill while Tragedy roamed around, focusing on domination of the 50 shield. Lagouts hindered us and threw off our timing, but their superior sniping abilities, coupled with their constant control of the lightning gun hill, would have finished us off regardless of connection problems.
DøM is a very cordial group of people and they deserved this victory. If we have to be beaten, I'm glad it's by people like this. Also, many thanks to ::LOB:: for allowing us use of one of their TeamSpeak channels since our TeamSpeak server is BORKED.
As usual, server-side demos of both matches are available
