Just for posterity in case I look back at this in 10 years and my memory starts to fail!
dm6: he dominated me, I never felt comfortable. Score looks closer than I deserve. No interruptions by baby!
aerowalk: at 1:45 I got up to take care of crying baby without pausing, came back at 2:25 and we resumed. Stacks were about even when I got up and I was down by 2. Ven was a gentleman and didn't kill me during those 40 seconds although he was well within his rights to. When we resumed I had no stack against full RA and I died a few times, so it was a tough break. I barely won the map but it's not clear how it would have played out without the interruption.
I chose not to pause because although I wasn't sure if it was allowed or not, I thought it wouldn't be great sportsmanship by me in a tourney game to ruin his flow/timing. I should take the hit for my own interruptions and he should be allowed to frag away or stack up while waiting.
dm2: tight game all around, could have gone either way, got some lucky breaks. No interruptions!
bravado: similar to aerowalk, I had to get up from 3:38 to 4:39. Was down by 5 and completely out of control when I got up. Ven's mega ticked away during those 60 seconds, we ended up trading kills after resuming but he immediately regained ra and mega and full control. I eked out a win but again it's not clear how the outcome would have differed. Once again ven could have killed me for a minute but graciously chose not to while his mega counted down.
At this point it was 3-1 for me and I was declared the winner. But the wins on aero/bravado felt hollow and I thought ven was unfairly punished for being too nice during my situation at home. I offered to replay the series or maybe just play a single ztn and call it a decider, even if # of map wins wouldn't make sense (logic being that either aero or bravado could have gone to him, hence making the score 2-2 instead of 3-1 for me). Eventually a few minutes later we did that. Baby happened to want to interfere then too, crying starting from about 45 seconds in :) I tried to ignore and didn't want to ruin yet another map, but ended up pausing about 5 minutes in to take care of him. Map was already out of reach by then and I couldn't recover.
Dirtbox thinks we played another ztn 'decider' but that's not the case. I had already conceded the match after the 5th map (1st ztn), and just wanted to play a map for fun hopefully without distractions/interruptions.
Cheers ven, good games and great sportsmanship shown by you! Good luck in next rounds :P
