I wasnt there so I dont have first hand knowledge of actual game play but the writeups in our forums says it all.
As I wasnt there, I shall quote some of the comments from the forum and the boys will add to these during the day.
AUS, our old sparring partners from BC2 were quick to put in a challenge against us.
We accepted that challenge and then proceeded to pick a time and date that was expected to reap rewards.
Unfortunately many players were unavailable on the night and that meant AUS had to play a depleted side.
Unlikely the result would have been much different, but the match would probably have been better for everyone.
So, first up only 13 players to face the might of AUS.
Then the server came up with the wrong map and with no Ladder Managers available to fix it, play moved to the AUS server.
Then AUS proceeded to dissect SoTzu into its little pieces.
Round 1.
After laborious strat preparation for playing short the match started.

First round AUS very quickly got a squad up on top of the Tower at D and set up a brilliant AA defense which quickly locked down the air and then preceded to do a lot of damage onto us.
I do believe we did a grand total of 6 kills that entire round.
AUS played really well and used their advantage well.

Round 1 went so quickly that I only got to fire the Jav twice... (the only time I got a kill)...
I had to /kill for more ammo.
From that point, every time I spawn, I'd die in .5 of a second.
Once they capped all of the flags and we had to spawn back to the carrier, we couldn't even get out of it.
The use of their SOLFAM was very effective, and with their air dominating at the start, they take out ours every time Kozmo tries to put one up...
It seems like the great teams are extremely quick on every start to get into position... from there it is almost impossible to come back once you're back footed.
Round 2.

SoTzu fared a lot better.. While we didn't have the full air support we were hoping for we were able to take them out of the sky pretty regular.
We managed to hold onto our flags most of the time and at one point early on while purple was grounded we found ourselves capping C.

Second round was a lot more successful, and defending of D was done with great effect...
It was extremely annoying of them dropping men on the upper floor, but there's no way for us to get up there.
I saw plenty of green squad coming to D when we lost it momentarily, and provided great support to assist us getting it back.
All in all, playing against a great team and short by 3... we did really well for second round.
So, well done to the AUS team.
Sons of Tzu have taken a lot out of this match and we will be better for it.
Sorry we were a few players short as thats not good for either team.
I dont have any round by round scores but at the end of the match it was decisive.
