HeIen Troy Doomheim Likes received: 0	#5 - 2013-08-04 22:18:47 UTC That makes even less sense, they would loose anyway?.........He needed to just bump the ship out and even if he went out at least he tried.

That's my guess anyway. You make a valid point, good Sir or Madam.

Likes received: 508	#9 - 2013-08-04 22:28:25 UTC Hard to say why, but it looked to me like he wanted to end it with a 1v1, just the two of them, but not enough time.

Kaleesa Pathogen Inc. Likes received: 46	#12 - 2013-08-05 00:38:24 UTC Get on TQ or SISi and try to bump a vulture with a claymore.... It doesn't exactly move it super far.. And that's assuming you CAN manage to bump it, I really doubt the vulture would give up all transversal and allow himself to get epicbumped


WarFireV The Scope Gallente Federation Likes received: 444	#13 - 2013-08-05 01:32:15 UTC Actually I just looked back at the replay, he does try to bump it when he charges up, but Dancul moves out of the way.

Rroff Antagonistic Tendencies Likes received: 1,155	#14 - 2013-08-05 01:34:18 UTC Even assuming the vulture just sat there and let him bump it out it would have taken minimum of 3-4 run ups to get him outside the boundary which he just didn't have time for. There was the chance that PL had gone with the assumption "no one shoots the brick tank first" and under-tanked the vulture so it made more sense to try and dps it down in the time remaining.
