I will give an example of how good defense in team scrum can sometimes be the best offense (I'm not even talking about camping/goal tending).

I was only able to play one full game of team scrum last night but what a game it turned out to be! We were able to fill the server quickly with an amazing collection of players for an cool 5 on 5 battle. The teams were:

Green
Blind Cide
Paisano
Gamera
Dlael
Get Some

Blue
Bolo
Rogue
PREY
KKB
Knuckler (ST)

It was tight the whole match, back and forth. The score was tied at 10-10 as the final 30 seconds started counting down. I saw Knuckler with the flag far away and I knew what he was setting himself up to do. He was going to the launch pad which would propel him right into the goal on the other side of the map for the victory. I knew this because in the previous warm up game he did the same cool move a couple of times against me and Blind Cide. Well, I hauled butt across the map to the launch pad and barely reached it as he launched off....BAM! I side swiped him just enough to throw him off line and he missed the goal!
Bolo was able to grab the flag and made his way back to the same launch pad and again I raced over there and this time was able to catch the flag and hold onto it. I backed up and raced into the goal for the go ahead score, 11-10! The final 10 seconds ticked away as I backed into the same goal for a FB to seal the deal, 12-10! An upset victory against a formidable blue squad led by Bolo, Rogue and PREY.

So you see, sometimes playing good defense can lead to the winning score. Use your head and try to predict what your opponent will do and you just might prevent it.

Of course I grabbed a screeny. :)

Way to go, jaboo.

By the points scored the final score should of been 10-10. Who was there before?? That scored 2 goals for the green team?

Excellent True Story. I love this game when skilled players are on both teams and all wish to play as a team.

@Pedro
Gamera scored two very important and spectacular goals and had many great passes and goal saves thanks to his shooting. If you look at the bottom it says gamera has left the game.

@Ho
The only definition I could find for your word is this:
Jaboo (n)
The tendency of a player to become more power and/or more irascible when under the control of the DM due to the player's absence
Origin: Ricky's character Jaboo became a dick under Mick's control.

Notice the tank skin? Hanksta's famous steel chrome skin. I have a copy of this skin with my name on the license plate but forgot to use that one.

Pats for pat...

Peace

@Vash
tit for tat?
WTH... Does anyone speak english anymore? Sheesh...

Hey...don't hate the player, hate the game! ;)

I love playing defense and blocking a good player from scoring...something it looks like many had a tough time doing with you Pai. Wish I'd been there...looks like a fun crowd.

Umm 44, the name of the server was S.O.CTB practice. Sheesh

LOL...oops.

Let me guess....sometime around 10est?

44 was snoozing.

Had I been there for the first 5 minutes I doubt the score would have been so close XD

Ahaha, and if id have been there I would make sure green still won

@ Paisano
Hope you don't mind but I figured these fit this thread perfect !
@ All
Here is some more examples, where the best offence or great team work payed off in the long run !
Click on the picture to enlarge it so you can see the scores !

This one was today in KC's Mad Bots server. 2 people and 2 bots vs just me and 3 bots !
I was under alias though !

This one was all luck, the fact I new the map like the back of my hand & great team work !

This one is from late night Indie, were dominator said he was going to beat me good at the begaining of this game !
