First off a big thank you to everyone who sent in replays, and all the officers in the South who helped me keep track of all the battles as they happened. It really helped put everything together into this package and thus we have a great time capsule of the 2015 Civil War.

Rather than list off the battles that happened last night (because I totally didn't fall asleep watching survivor with the wife) I thought we could briefly go over the rise of the south and the fall of the north;

Many people on the North side and on the outside were calling it game over right after the draft and as it turned out it seemed the skepticism of Gerneral Inchon's choices in the draft though reasonable in theory was well warranted. From day one the combination of VILIN & CHAI proved to be too overwhelming of a force for the North's western/central forces and it didn't take much time for them to completely control the HQ's and then the entire coast. Meanwhile, OTTER the number one pick of JayZ Davis continued to show their dominance against the best of the northern forces controlling both eastern HQ's with brute force ruling the east with an iron fist. Their top competition -G-, the only ones believed to be able to deal with OTTER eventually became surrounded and were forced to make a tactical retreat. The rest of the southern forces fed off of the solid 3 allowing them to maneuver to keep most of the north's forces isolated to the outside of the event map allowing the South to accumulate enough points to put the war away early.

On the flip side of that the north never laid down, they fought it out right up until the north's surrender. Some clans outshone their original colors giving specific mention to BOLD, REL_3 and PBKAC. BOLD's A-team is no joke, they managed to win the majority of the battles they were able to field a team for. PBKAC being completely surrounded by many clans and refusing to be mapped right until the end. REL_3 ability to be face to face with OTTER and THUGZ and not get mapped. -G- were put in a bad situation from day 0, but against the odds they fought on fielding multiple teams proving that Yankee's Horn of Gondor still rings true. The north all fought well but the solid 3 just proved to be too much to handle.

Finally I think we all had a fun break from the stagnation that has become CW, we got to shake off some rust and play in battles we'd under normal circumstances never be faced with. I hope everyone watching enjoyed the show and will get their clans in fighting order for the next big event. I know I'll be looking forward to it!
