True, it was pretty risky, but he kept up the pressure so I never could tech or expand.
All my ore patches got denied, and I never caught his MCV because I needed the Yaks to keep his arties in check.

Wee Man vs Orb - Round 8 - Northwest Passage - Recruit B Division
Reason: At around 8:00 things look bad for WeeMan: he lost map control, harvesters are getting picked off, Service depot lost. But in the couple minutes after he overturns the game. Very nice comeback!

And thanks Kyrylo I had not spotted your post! Added.

Round 10 Minions league. t vs me on sidestep It looked so good for me. I stole his expansion mcv. I was soviets and allies at the same time. He still managed to come back.

RAGL-S02-MINION-R03-HAN-FRE
Game on Tourney Island. Tech VS expansion.
Han goes for a tech rush, to rush a shockies blob. Fortunately repelled it, thanks to seeing it in time ahead, and by overproducing Hinds. Then locking down in his base, even from sea.

Not my best game ever, but maybe worth looking at it ^^

Hey everyone!
The season is nearing its conclusion, but before we reveal the best 5 plays and set up a poll,
I'd like to share my own Play Of The Season (tm) moment!
(Spoiler tags for those who have not watched the replay yet)

RAGL-S02-MASTER-R11-FIV-MET
Timestamp: 20:50
Seconds before my nuke was coming up, Medium Tank chronoed in 7 Chronotanks to assault the silo, and my army was out of position.
I knew I'd lose the silo, but GPS allowed me to figure out the exact return point of his chronotanks.
A split second before the silo went down, I managed to fire the missile on the return location,
melting his chronotanks into slag just upon arrival, blasting his entire army sky-high and allowing me to breach his base.
An extremely clutch situation that could have easily gone either way, and really impressive play from Medium Tank as well,
taking out my nuke and immediately switching over to my tech center upon realizing that the nuke had gone through.

I added both moments, however FiveAces' moment cannot join the competition as he is part of the PotS organisation. I still like to list it as a cool play, because cool plays is what we enjoy!

I think all games are played, including the Qualifiers? Or am I mistaken?

I want to make a compilation of the best plays for this season but Im looking for free screencap software. Preferably supersimple as I only want to capture for this event AND not stuffed with spyware, malware or whatever-ware.

Who can recommend me a good program so I can compile the awesome plays?

OBS can actually screencap and it's free

No, this looks good! Thanks!

Will look into it in the next 1-2 weeks. It'll take a little time before we will make the final selection and present them. But work is in progress...
