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!
