WOW!!! AMAZING!!
Finally watched it!! amazing fight!!!

What I noticed was that move of Drex when Lephturn dived on his six....something like rolling scissores I think?? he made Lephturn to Overshoot and he reversed on his six with almost same Speed!!! amazing! and that La7 vs P47 fight!!! damn!!!
Wheew that was exciting to watch... !

Although Drex cleaned my clock in Jugs, I at least made a good account of myself vs. the La7.  He eventually got me when my energy level got low enough that I couldn't evade properly.  I did however miss a couple of possible shot opportunities.  It was a great fight though.

BTW, that overshoot move is how I know it's Drex.    Unfortunaltey I normally die right after it.  It's a very good move, but the mistake was mine.  I wasn't patient enough, and I attacked at far to severe of an angle.  If I had been patient and used lag pursuit to work onto his six and stay there, I would have had a better shot at him.
