This is round 2 of a match between DJedi and aXe, shown from breathe[DJedi]'s point of view. The description in his own words (note that he describes both rounds but this video only shows round 2):

"This was DJedi's comeback match. We had been out of QWTF to alpha/beta test q3f and then play q3f competitively. So our absence from QWTF had been significant enough that people wondered whether we still had it. Our roster showed enough talent to win every match we played, but we had to prove it. We were heavily favored to beat aXe on sewer1, but in the first round aXe exploited a map glitch and pulled out an early cap in the first 5 minutes. Our defense adjusted and didn't allow another, but the damage was done. For the last 25 minutes of r1, they progressively went from 5 men to 6 to 9 on defense. At times, their 10th frags in the center of the map. It is the ultimate turtle on an already defensively friendly board.

"Round 2 comes and we already know what to expect. Hesitant at the start of the round we keep 3 back on defense. Eventually we send all but our engineer. There are some close calls, and we have several occasions where the flag almost leaves their base, but it returns to their basement in every instance. With little less than 5 minutes left in the match, Justice pushes the flag forward to right outside their respawn. With 2 parts skill and 98 parts luck, breathe manages to dodge 6 men simultaneously in the ramp room and escape with the flag in tow and 1 health to his name. He makes it back to cap and tie the game at 1-1. Shortly thereafter, Free_mason coast-to-coast caps the 2nd one to put it away in favor of DJedi. We proceed to play defense and give them a taste of their own medicine.

"This match put us back on the scene in a big way, and we went on to win 17 in a row."
