The Match
~~~~~~~~~
OK we played absolute shaft, me especially. Considering IM only played with 3 against our 5 we really did not do ourselves justice in anyway. Oh well as to the game...
 
After a lot of fucking around and changing from Apeman's to my server, and sorting out which levels we were gonna play, we finally got started.
On E1M1 we played ok, especially Tri and Coool. We managed to keep control of the RL alright, but we just never seemed to pick up any frags. The problem was that when someone went off roving to kill some NME they always found IM in a group and so got killed. Phreaky played especially well for IM making good use of the quad to force us out of the RL area. Come the end though we had lost the level 26-31 (our three best scores vs their 3).
 
Then things took a dramatic turn for the worse. In a horrific massacre, we got shat on. Again the IM's grouped well and took us individually, and our coordination was slightly lacking in that sometimes we had all 5 of us in the RL room...Nuff said I think. Score was 23-48.
 
We recovered well though on E1M3 with some good play from Saber and Dandy, and some useful guarding of the RL by everyone. Phreaky again showed his class but at least theoretically we drew the level 35-35 (though we had 5 players...).
 
So overall we lost the match 84-114.
 
To be fair, IM play in the UKNQL and so it is not surprising that their coordination was vastly superior to ours. LOBs just need to keep playing clan wars, and practice grouping on global, and it will come. Individually LOBs have some good players, so when the coordination comes then there should be some real battles.
 
Sorry no pics!
