The red team had their backs pushed up against the wall. The opposing squad had already captured the first two points after dominating the opening team fight and needed to secure the third and final point in order to get closer to a Team Fortress 2 championship crown.
The blue shirts made their play soon after-pushing into the final point with everything they had in the tank. Players from both teams-the engineer and his sentry, soldiers, and scouts-started falling left and right as Team Blue, worn by Froyotech, started to capture the final point when everything stopped. The game froze due to lag.
Six bodies stood in a strange stalemate on the final point, unable to move in any direction. It felt as if everyone in the match was holding their breath. "Oh they lost," TF2 caster 'Sandblast' blurted out, referring to Team Red's likely downfall as several of their key players had already been blown up. A few more moments passed before the action resumed and Froyotech blew the rest of the Corsia squad to kingdom come.
