🎥 TheOfficialTourney 2025 – Round 2 Victory (70% Domination)#
In this 70% Domination match from TheOfficialTourney 2025, I secured my first-ever 70% victory on Orbital Objectives.
This match highlights just how swingy and strategic the map can be under unstable portals and progressive card rules. The scattered layout of bonuses across narrow zones makes early control difficult — but if you can hold two regions and block key routes, you can build a launchpad for a fast finish.
Key elements from this match:
- 📍 Early Region Control: I locked down a +3 and +2 early, giving steady income.
- 🔄 Portals: I used portals not for expansion, but to pressure opponents indirectly and control choke points.
- 🃏 Strategic Card Skip: I skipped a card turn mid-game to line up a better trade later — a bold decision that paid off.
- 💥 Opportunistic Final Push: After another player failed to eliminate White, I stepped in, claimed the bounty, and pushed through to 70%.
Orbital Objectives rewards players who can quickly identify safe expansion zones and control portal-accessible routes. With 70% as the win condition, it’s less about denying others and more about building a strong position, then timing your trade perfectly to make a clean, efficient push for the finish.
