Review by penos - Overview
this is done with the original WTC films where garrick is not actually himself.

WTC is a clam consisting of of raid players lol, and ten bastard and they are lead by ducky. they are quite a hilarious bunch and they also have some no mercy people.
in almost exact contrast, mental is a group of coop/mazzarin's demise players. you know, mazzarin's demise, the cause of grim's absence from myth. They are that new, hip, team, and I'd expect to see them next year. they got in the top 8 or something this year? there were only 24 teams, but thats still the top third of the tournament. however, they have a lot of work to do before they can actually be considered anything else. Rookie of the year award, yea that's mental. They're no Barry Bonds.
Game 1 - Territories on Acts of Cruelty
there is no good planning time chat this game. both teams split fgs this game. Wu tang clan start south and rawr and ducky get the fg. hmp and mate get the fg's for north. in the north west, mate's fg gets pussed to deat hand dies, but mental manages to take out ducky's fg before dying. at that moment hte percents aren't too far away, 51% to 68%.
rawr starts to rage and mental manages to stall the remaining 2 minutes of the game dying on thier last flag. mental's % drops gradually and the tang 6 flag.

hmp's team name has doomed the mental force and mate sums up game one fairly simply with

Game 2 - Territories on Acts of Cruelty
mental starts north doesn't get many morts (only 5) and gets useless souls (they suck north if you haven't noticed) and a bunch of gay thrall even though its terries. Mate takes both of the FG this game, a quite costly choice for mental. Wu tang clan's zagon and dirty elephant get hte FG's. Elephant loses more than half his fg's health to kill 10 souls in the west and then wastes a puss on a mort. Mate gets his FG's killed by "Garrick" (giggle) pretty horrifically.

"Garrick" ended up killing a total of 3 fg's this match, and did pretty god jobs this series. kickenwing and wismuth, mental's original north, push through WTC's mid arriving at the west flag. Zagon's fg is lazy (huh?) and does nothing but slap stray zerks all game. dirty elephant's fg gets stoned in the last minute of the game and he demands for his team to defend it. WTC wins with 65% and 6 flags again..
Game 3 - Captures on Barbarian Valley (light)
the planning chat in this game is ok, so i'm just gunna post that for the first part of this game.

Both teams stick to the southern part of this map. Power up pusses' wismuth's gholpack, but shortly makes up for it. His and kicken wing's dwarves go on killing sprees, destryoing most of the WTC's large force of thrall. powerup loses his dwarf as he tries to charge archers though.
wismuth sends his 2 puss, 5 warrs, 1 jman delta force squadron after 2 read thrall instead of helping his team defend from ducky and rawr's mid rush. soon enough kicken loses his duff and mental gets 9 balled, john f kennedy style.
Game 4 - Flag Rally on A Poison Holiday (dark)
kicken wing reveals mental's biggest strength for team mental.
Alt
Mental starts south, splits trow 3 ways (Mate, Wismuth, HMP) and Mate + Wismuth also get warpacks along with thier trow.
AltThe Heroic, mental charge

they push WTC off thier hold flag (west), but WTC gets a free tag on thier east anyway. In fact, mental forgets to defend any flags, but manages to get 2 more flags and gain a body count up on the Wu Tang before being flagged 8-6. Percents? WTC, 62% with a whopping 3 kills. Mental? 90%.
Game 5 - Last Man on the Hill on The Dessert Between Your Teeth
Mental gets a beastly strat and goes all mid. they get surrounded, but wismuth pushes ducky and rawr far from mid into the north. he loses 6 archs to 1 puss or something, gets rushed and dies.
Coincidentally the same thing happened to the rest of the mental mid.
60% to 0%, WTC wins.

Dirty Elephant licks his fingers with 20-5 ratios.



I think it's safe to say that mental was the winner of "Rookie of the year". If they had a better eye for multiplayer game and how gametypes work on maps, they'd probably be half decent. If they played more reg myth instead of WARS OF RECKING, AVA and other gay AOL shit they might even be formidable.

But for now, mental is growing. next year i expect a larger roster, and maybe even another solid run as this year.
