Report #01: IGPX's First Animal Battle! -A whimsical cat swoops down from the sky to defeat a dauntless dog. |
It's been 25 years since the founding of the IGPX. Finally, we've reached the day of the first animal navigation battle in the IGPX. Luca the cat is riding with Team Satomi's midfielder Amy. Luca mainly acts independently and does so often, and so he is called whimsical. If one were to focus on Team Satomi's playbook for the past several years, there are a number of winning moves and a number of failures, so even their overall attack style appears to be whimsical. It seems pretty clear that the main attribution to that being said is solely Luca. On the other side of things, we have Sola the dog riding with Team Edge Raid's Bjorn (Forward). As a rule, Sola performs more group-oriented actions that have been respected in the league and one might say that Team Edge Raid boasts the best coordinated plays in the IGPX, with the special trick up their sleeve being Sola. When this dauntless dog bares her fangs, she shows no mercy. Since Team Edge Raid has no victories this season so far, this is a dog who will do anything to taste victory. This is the first night game match of Team Satomi and Team Edge Raid, who are both on their 4th race of this season. Team Satomi took the lead immediately after the race began. But, Team Edge Raid moved in on Team Satomi with their "dauntless dog" when they entered the second lap. Bjorn went in between Bella (Midfielder) and Frank (Defender) and shot some of their 'patented' wires forward. Bjorn jumped on Liz's back literally, and used the legs of the machine to jump right in front of her rather spontaneously. The three pilots' next target was surrounding Amy, and throwing her down from the front. The last target was Takeshi (Forward) and simply continued their good attack pattern up to that point, and then some. Everyone was halfway through the 2nd lap, and it was looking like Team Edge Raid could pull ahead for a complete victory over Team Satomi. But, from there on out, the highlights of this cat's "whims" begin. Although she was previously hit by Bjorn's spinning attack as she broke out of the spiral, Amy jumped upwards, as if to get a better vantage point, and started her own spinning attack similar to Bjorn's. There was no way a dog was going to win to a cat who was rotating in the air above it. Bjorn was considering an attack on Amy, but Takeshi and Liz overtook Bjorn in the Revolution Tunnel (they just stopped Bella and Frank in their tracks moments before) and crashed Bjorn's mech, dealing some serious damage to parts of the machinery in the process. This is Team Satomi's 2nd complete victory of this season. In IGPX's first animal battle, the cat was the winner. |
