Now, it's worth noting that I was not in a Dueling loadout, which will be obvious in a moment. My alt weapon was a Derailer sniper rifle. This was NEVER going to work in such close quarters. However my VOT AR could deal out damage quickly if I could aim. (It has a large bloom, so it is useless outside aim mode.)
When you flashbanged me on round 2, I just uttered "Well... schtako." And died. Horribly. Well played.
I realized I probably couldn't take you in a straight gun battle, so I tried the crazy plan. I fired my decoy off towards someplace safe, fired my sniper rifle to get your attention, then tried the grenade gambit. Those three seconds of waiting for you to round the corner were nail-biting in the extreme. I had no idea if it would work, and my backup plan hinged entirely on you being distracted by loud noises.
I'm pretty sure that if you'd rounded that corner in a half-second more or less time, you'd have killed me dead.
