This is a matchup of two teams who would be described as mediocre at best. If you watch these films, (which I don't particularly recomend you do,) don't even bother trying to ask yourself what the hell these guys were thinking. I did this for about the first 5 minutes and my ear started squirting blood all over the carpet

Game One - Stampede, Desert
Both teams were implying rather odd strategies in this game. MMC got only 6 pigs, while MetaC got 30, and the only pus in the game was MetaC's two wights-worth. You would think that MMC would overpower MetaC with all the extra units they had from only getting 6 pigs, right? I did too, haha, we were both wrong! MetaC sent almost all their units north, they sent their 4 puss ghols south with a dorf and a couple warrs to guard their flags, and they sent the rest of their ghols mid. MMC didn't do a very good job of adjusting to the huge north jugger, and they proceeded to get ASSRAPED. After a bloodbath that insued, MetaC came away with a clear path to MMC's extremly lightly guarded flag and 17 pigs which all scored. MMC on the other hand headed south with their 6 pigs and a very light escort, where they met MetaC's defense unit. Poor execution by MMC (or good execution by MetaC, you be the judge) resulted in only 1 of MMC's 6 pigs making it to the flag. MetaC wins 11-0.

Game Two - Territories, If I had a Trow...
Orlando the Axe: reviewer we are hardcore now.
Yeah, (no.)
MMC continued their trend of goofyass trades with this game, getting max trows and myrks, only 2 locks, some mauls and 7 souls. MetaC went with a more conventional trade, getting max trows/myrks, 4 locks, and the rest souls. MetaC sent a decent size force consisting of 2 trows a lock and some myrks north, and the rest of their troops south, which was met by MMC's ridiculously huge mid rush (all their units except the souls and 2 mauls.) A humorously unorganized battle takes place here, leaving MMC with the upperhand, percentage wise, and enough units that they should have been able to grind out the win, but because the only time they were organized the whole game was in planning time, they ended up getting 6 flagged. Where's Killa Duck when you need him? :(

Game Three - Flag Rally, Cracks in the Cloudspine
This game was interesting because neither team sent anything mid, so the whole game was basically a series of 1 vs 1 fighting on the flanks and at the home flags. Elmo Kajaky (proud owner of the gayest name of any M2 player, sorry Limp) did a nice job of taking care of his side, as did Akuma (after he got off his ass and decided to move.) In the end the deciding factor was the Cheezefist's defense, even though it was pretty lame, wasn't as bad as MetaC's, which helped them BARELY squeek out the win on this last game.
