C-YA and Insanity! PCW conclusions



Insanity! Website
C-YA Website

I have had the privilege watching a C-YA versus Insanity Practice Clan War played on Gravelpit. It was a game worthy of those clans – full of good action. I will not post here the results because I really think they are of no importance, but I will post my conclusions of the match. Both clans did not play their strongest rosters or maps, so this info will probably not be relevant at more official games. I wanted to point out a few details I noticed.
I was very impressed by C-YA | Scooz’s medic play. He always had an uber ready for the critical moments and before he got it he treasured his half-made one well, retreating at the right times. Once I saw him uber a bit early, before the other team did, thus letting the enemy soldier get him, but other than that he played flawlessly.
C-YA | Firefox too pulled off an impressive move for me, stickyn as demo the exact right place and taking out Insanity’s Soldier, Demoman and Medic with a single shot. That allowed C-YA to grab on to B for a while longer, though they had to retreat to C eventually. He also spawn camped Insanity for a while, giving C-YA the opportunity to cap B without resistance. Another impressive player I pointed out is of course d0llar, who played amazing heavy while defending C and B.
An interesting thing I pointed out is Insanity’s roster. While I do not know their regular play, I noticed they used 2 Demomen and a single soldier unlike the usually roster (which C-YA used) of two Soldiers and a single Demoman. The Demomen (Or-L and forzew, both top-notch demos) were going to cap A, though usually without their medic (infusion, which played good medic but didn’t manage his ubers well).
My thanks goes to C-YA and Insanity leaders, Who allowed me to spectator the match and write this post.

See you around!

Nice review, although you forgot to write most of the details in a clear positions (map, final score, etc).

Anyway it seems like you focused on CYA way more than on INS, but the truth is that CYA lost that match, and INS won.

And you forgot to mention that Infusion was just a substitute for INS, and they didnt even played with their best line up (krystel).

Good Game.

I did write the map. I skipped the score because I really think it is of no importance in a PCW. Please do not write them in the future, I will if I find it necessary.
I focused on C-YA for this very reason - Insanity played two subs so this left me four players to look at. If you read carefully you will also see I mentioned that neither team used their best roster.
Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it

Sagron, give me a break, it's a practice clan war, the score doesn't matter, both teams are having new players, getting used to their roster and trying to get ready for the tournaments they got.

It was a very nice game afterall, C-YA had some good rounds, and so did we.

good game c-ya, meet ya on the tournament.
