2 rounds, 1 overtime4/29/2008 9:07:17 AM
Paradigm Shift defeated 2 Years 1 Beta in overtime in week 6 of CAL. The match took place on ctf_mach4. In round 1, -P- quickly got behind 2-1, but went on to capture six times to win the round 7-2. In the second half we decided to play a retarded hybrid turtle, which basically meant less offense but not more defense. I'm not sure how that works, but we let 2Y1B capture five times to tie the score, forcing an overtime round. OT was pretty exciting, with both teams getting early touches, but no captures. At one point we had their flag in the hallway, but resisted the urge to throw ourselves at it like madmen, a strategy that has doomed us in the past. -P- eventually captured the docs, thanks in part to some nifty scouting by Sabotage. GGs all around.

We put the 'bad' in badlands!4/21/2008 10:56:54 AM
Paradigm Shift lost by the score of 0-2 to Team Fidelity on cp_badlands. As far as maps go, this one is not quite as linear as most of the cp maps, and therefore has a higher learning curve. We did not play the map in preseason, and clearly were a step or three behind the teams we scrimmed leading up to the match. I think we developed a decent baseline strat for badlands, but our rudimentary set-up paired with relative inexperience was not enough to defeat a good team like Fidelity. Hopefully we'll offer more of a challenge for them in the future, preferably on a different map ;-)

Paradigm Shift defeated Artificial Intelligence 23-0 (9-0, 14-0) on Tuesday night. The CAL week 3 match-up took place on ctf_2fort, our least-favorite map. We put in a lot of scrim time on the map prior to the match, and it paid off. Thanks to AI who kept their composure and played the match out. GG!

6 Pyros? Holy shit!3/26/2008 9:10:20 AM
Paradigm Shift defeated Serenity Now 2-0 on Tuesday night. The CAL week two match-up took place on cp_granary. SN| was a bit overmatched from the start, but remained good-natured throughout the match. At some point in the second round they decided to roll out the vaunted 6 scout lineup, followed shortly by all-pyro and all-hwgy. Needless to say it was a bit scary when Sabotage arrived at the middle point and saw 6 scouts roll up. Good show SN!

Paradigm Shift concluded the CAL 8v8 pre-season on Sunday with a rousing 2-0 victory over Red 4.0 on badlands. It was a terrible map, but r4 was a nice team. GG r4
