Round One

Map: XN Irritant

Tokiko grabbed the flag and immediately followed north.  TheBlackCloud Oh was able to nab the flag on the way, but it was stolen back by Virus not long afterward. The flag was passed to Cigi near the Southern Garrison after a chase around the north end of the region. She passed it to Tokiko for a short while, but took back the flag near the big hill, until passing it to teammate Fei Bourdeille. The flag was then stolen from Fei as opponent Dassina grabbed the flag for a last effort at getting her team on the board for some time, however the round ended again near the South Garrison, with Team 1 in the lead.

Round Two

Map: Fort Stygian

Dassina quickly nabbed the flag this time around, heading north with it. She was interrupted by Fei, who stole the flag from her and passed it to Virus, but backed up by Maeve who stole it back and escaped northward to the big hill pretty quickly. Passing the flag to TheBlackCloud, who then passed it to Fei, Team 2 was able to keep a stronger hold on the flag this time. Cigi did manage to nab the flag some minutes later, passing it back and forth with Virus, but it was Dassina who took final possession of the flag, running down the short minute or so left on it before the end of the round. Team 2 was found to have held the team the longest, putting them on the score board and forcing a third round.

Round Three

Map: Foxhunt

Both teams became more desperate in the fight and chase this time around, with the prize platter on the line. Dassina again took the flag as the arena siren rang but promptly lost the flag in a scuffle that saw Fei steal the flag, lose it momentarily to Maeve, then regain it. She then passed the flag to TheBlackCloud, who took the flag out of the arena but was able to keep Tokiko from taking possession. The flag then saw a long string of passes and steals in short and rapid succession, involving Virus, TheBlackCloud, Fei, Tokiko, Dassina, Kaycen and Maeve, while remaining fighters were tied up by secondary skirmishes. Fighting and chasing continued all the way up to the end of the round, with Team 2 winning by a slim margin.
