Here's a much more in depth report of the battle. http://themittani.com/news/asakai-aftermath-all-over-cobalt-...

It's a very fascinating read.

It's a lot better read than the PCGamer article, considering that it points out the negative metagame aspects of Time Dilation (TiDi). Part of what made that battle a slowly increasing shitstorm was the fact that reinforcements could arrive much faster than combat could resolve.

That means that what socially could be called a flash crowd accretes in that sector and drags the servers further and further down.
