The betting pool is curious as the league is still at least somewhat warm ;)

SysX Giga Adv Tac+Exp vs XT Dreg Exp+Tac

SysX SBs XT expansion while XT is pulling a desperate bombing run to SysX expansion


XT failed to observe rules 1 and 6 and could not keep up in tech after their miners were wiped out by SFs.

Recap from my foggy memory. Events below are probably not in the correct order, but they happened!

SysX (Spidey, Giga) vs XT (Drizzo, Dreg) on Xenon. XT was yellow (top of map) while SysX was blue (bottom of map).

Game starts and spidey spends our patty money on some hookers & booze. A drunk and happy SysX team then proceeds to flood the map in scouts.

XT push their op con down the left side and build next to our home. SysX op con builds low-right next to our home for reasons unknown to me. Our opening tele builds somewhere else (right next to our home I believe) while Beer and myself destroy XT's opening tele mid-right high. Jyppa arrives seconds too late to save it from the prox, rams, and popguns of our scouts and commits hari-kiri on the one remaining field of prox in shame.

XT rushes our miners at some point, I think one died. Spidey gets a Tac up in our home and then buys Ca mines. XT gets an expansion mid-left next to their home. We also have a carrier out for miner defense and another tele right-high next to XT's home. XT builds a ref at their expansion and we build one mid-left low next to our home and use the carrier here. XT rush our miners in this sector several times throughout the game but are stopped with prox and angry SFs at our home aleph most attempts.

Once SFs are up all of XT's miners die within a few minutes. They are stuck with an expansion and mini1 lt ints until somewhere after the 20 minute mark.

XT gets a replacement miner and heavy defense protects it long enough to mine out their exp sector. They also get an op up in the middle sector and proceed to rush our miners again. I think another one died at this point. Our Ca mines started to build at this time though.

XT gets regular ints up while spidey builds an expansion right-low next to our home. GAs and interceptors are purchased but we never really used the latter.

XT's only miner dies during a lull in their defense due to operations elsewhere, causing spidey to spend cash on hookers and booze again.

Spidey decides to push his carrier into the middle sector and hide it somewhere as a place for our SFs to rip in. Amazingly, this works. Meanwhile XT continue to rush our miners but meet with little success. IIRC they also got another miner up here at some point, but it dies soon afterwards to my med-shielded lxy and another SF.

XT gets a tac up middle-right next to their home and somehow manage to afford SFs and killer1. Spidey moves his carrier out of middle and into the middle-center-left sector. It comes under attack at the aleph by a pair of XT but they are forced to flee. XT does not find or attack this carrier for the rest of the game. We eventually move it high-left next to their home.

XT use their killer-equipped SFs to destroy two of our specs and our only op. Our SBs come up at this time and we bomb some small stuff here and there before destroying XT's tac about 5-10 minutes later. XT does not manage to destroy our last Ca spec. Around this time they also get another miner and try to mine at their op left, but it dies (I believe to a rush from our carrier high).

Spidey tries pushing a Ca spec to the rock next to XT's op left-low for his own amusement. It dies after an epic 10 minute battle, during which I try to solo-SB XT's op but fail. However right after our spec con dies, Sheff finishes off their still-damaged op with his SB.

The map becomes quiet for a few minutes while Sheff and I sneak SBs into their exp. XT then unleash a bomber run of doom upon SysX, rolling a fully turreted bomber (or two?) from their home and down the right side of the map, destroying our tele and later our expansion. but didn't get our exp in time. Meanwhile fufi manages to spam spidey for a bomber and destroys XT's garr with only one nan. I don't think there was anyone on D to stop him.

A few moments later Sheff and I destroy XT's undefended exp and end the game.

Fixed with corrections from Sherlock Sharp!

Losing to giga tac was a clever ploy to instill rage in xt for our next couple league games. Gotta keep them fires burnin yo.

Lies! Our exp didn't die, I don't know if it even got scratched by the time XT's exp got popped thus ending the game.

Yeah I was kind of disappointed it ended then. I was just launching my first lrm3s at the poor nans when the game ended.
