Destruction Eternal (de)		The Angelus | Calamity Tarvos
		versus
		Mortal Kombat (MK)		Sub Zero Scorpion

The overall tone of the match was set in the first minute, as Scorpion (while trying to heal a wight for pus) accidentally pressed 'T' on a wight. The resulting chain-reaction detonated all of their wights, killed nearly all of their archers and wounded all of their warriors. The outcome was never in doubt, even less so when MK's archers were brutally cut down by ghols, their thrall charged into an underwater trap, and their wounded warriors bravely assaulted 4:1 odds to attack the flag.

MK decided to combine an unusual troop mix with an unusual strategy on this map, taking eight dwarves and maximum archers. They guarded the bridge with five dwarves and all of their archers, splitting the infantry into two (north and south) and sending three dwarves north. Scorpion dropped early on, leaving Sub Zero to fend for himself. The northern dwarves were wiped out easily by ghols, leaving the melee troops helpless in the face of overwhelming DE odds. The five dwarves from the center charged north to avenge their fallen comrades, only to join them dismembered on the sand dunes. The archers that were guarding the center were finally exterminated by warriors, as the southern army stood still on its flag while being picked to death by 13 enemy archers. The victory with six flags and elimination went to DE.

DE was able to secure and hold several flags early on, and withstood multiple attack waves from MK (consisting of four to five warriors at a time). After a while of this, DE became bored and sent an attack force to MK's home flag, where they crushed the defending force to tag the final flag.

The unfortunate pizzaparty at the start of the first game lent the first clue to what was going to happen in the match, and the battleground quickly became no more than a pizza base for team MK's warrior topping (with extra dorf).
