[eSports Review] The Masters of the Sword - Synergy vs Penguins

[Mr.Latvian 3,597]

 

Welcome eSport players, viewers and just random readers of this article.

 

Masters of the Sword is in full swing and our experienced Clans are participating in both Major league and First league. Today we will be looking at Major league game with English TOP16 clan in the Russian “Blitz” tournament rating, “Penguins”, who fought against Russian clan “Synergy”, the current Clan Champions.

 

Both teams are fighting for major prizes as newly added prize paint Impulse and millions of crystals, XT weapons, Gold Boxes and of course for the most valuable prize - the title “Winners of the Masters of the Sword”.

 

The game was played on Barda map. Before the game, Penguins had 3 points for victory against "STAR WARRIORS" while Synergy had 0 points, because of the loss against "Biological Hazard".

 

First Round

 

The first round was really equal from both teams. “Penguins” who started as Blue side team were first who had an opportunity to open the score, when @Assertive and @I3oris both went to Red base of “Synergy”. Boris was able to draw attention of three enemy players to himself, allowing his teammates to take enemy flag to their base. In the same time, Synergy player @eSports_Player with help of his teammate took Penguins' flag which led to the standoff. Penguins made the retreating with flag super challenging, but they managed to bring it to usual safety place. Synergy had few chances to return the flag and capture, but with help of luck, Penguins managed to reflect their attempts. The English team had a great chance to capture the flag in last 30 seconds, after @Mad took flag from Synergy base. Penguins returned their flag, but in the end @MIKI3 made a terrible mistake and was flipped flipped by Synergy player. Round ended with 0:0. Picture in spoiler.

 

 

Second Round

 

Second round started exactly as first one. Penguins cleared out the Synergy's blue base. @Assertive waited for Double Armor to drop and with help of @Mad, he successfully captured first flag - 1:0 for Penguins. Score favored Penguins, so the English team went to defensive mode and focused more on not allowing Synergy to take flag rather than attack and making score 2:0. After this mistake, when five of Penguins' players were easy targets at the base, Synergy in last seconds took flag to their base and captured the flag just 2 seconds before the end of the round. Round ended 1:1, game score was still 0:0. Picture in spoiler.

 

Third Round

 

Third round started as usual with offensive pressure from Penguins, but they couldn't get away from Synergy's Red base. On the other hand, Synergy cleared out English team base. With help of supply drops, @A-V-A-N-G-A-R-D-E grabbed Penguins' flag and within a minute, he captured it. That was an excellent start for Russian team. Within few minutes, @Mad picked up full supplies drop and drew attention of three enemy players. He opened an opportunity for @I3oris who ran to capture the flag with Wasp on Speed boost and tied the round to 1:1. Few minutes later, Synergy with control over Double power drops, cleared out Penguins and @eSports_Player took the flag at the moment when just two enemy Penguin players were actually able to shoot.

 

 

@Gothic from Synergy was smart enough with Double supplies drop. He supported his team who gained a 2:1 lead. Minute before the end of third round, Penguins gathered drops and made a push towards Synergy base. @Assertive who equipped Wasp, took Nitro and Repair kit and with perfect loop around red side flag house, waited for opportunity to run for flag. Extra Repair kit helped him to take Synergy's flag into the base and with help of his team, they captured. The round ended tied again (2:2), but it was an excellent performance from both teams!

 

Fourth Round

 

Fourth round started with domination of early Supplies drops. Both teams had players with double supplies, but in end @Mad and @I3oris from the Penguin team were the fastest to get the enemy flag and with convoy they captured flag within a bit more than 1 minute from the start. Less than two minutes later, @MIKI3 using the same strategy to control the spawns and to clear the base as Synergy players made in last round, took the enemy flag and with Nitro drove to base and captured the flag. He gave Penguins a great start. Just less than 4 minutes before end of last round, Synergy came with offensive pressure and @A-V-A-N-G-A-R-D-E with help of @Dynamite, who made excellent double kill with Double power, grabbed the flag towards to base. This kick-started the Synergy comeback. Sadly for them, their three opportunities, when Synergy managed to gather the drops at the last minute, were denied by Penguins' excellent defensive skills and so the fourth and final round ended with score 2:1. That means Penguins won 1:0 over Synergy in total.

 

Conclusion

 

In the end, both teams showed an awesome and equal performance, but our English community team Penguins gave out all their strength in the final round and won the match 1:0. They got themselves 3 points for victory. Synergy who were favorite team of this match and tournament, have still 0 points after 2 played games. Send some love to Penguins and congratulate them on their hard victory!

A job well done, Mr.Latvian.

It's always great to have someone to provide us with quick review on things happening on the eSports scene.

Some edits:

- Few rephrased sentences.

- Other edits related to formatting and sentence structure. 

 

Some writing tips

 

Try to cut your sentences. It often happens even to me that I put a lot of information in one sentence to finish my point. But, it's always better to split the text into simple shorter sentences.

 

Try to stick with one tense. Sometimes you slipped from past tense to present tense. When you speak about past events, use past tenses.

 

A really good summary nevertheless. Keep up!

There still will be round 2 of group stage, so they have all chance to comeback. But at the moment, they dont look very good.

[skills_from_Shallum 170]

St.Railgun was

Oh Saint-Hov Was'nt there...That's why they Lost the Match

[Mr.Latvian 3,597]

Synergy is full of veteran players and pros, but maybe Saint-Hov might have made an impact. Anyhow, we cant know how it could have happen if Saint-Hov would have been there. Good luck them next time.

Tbh Saint-Hov is the Best Team player if you watch his Highlights you'll come to know How Important is Saint-Hov in Team battles. Nvm there are  many pro in their clan But without Saint-Hov I think the clan is Incomplete.
