Round 3: npe's Orc "[SWL] Dorruks"
Abhorrent
If there is one team I really do not want to see do well in Prem 100, it is npe's Orcs.
Why? We have quite a different philosophy when it comes to team building. Looking at the picture above, his seems substantially more effective. However, it is based on deliberately throwing games so that the Orcs could get an easy season in reggies, the lowest division in SWL.
As for our encounter, I felt the Orcs were still just playing the spp farming game. Not currently a threat for a Prem title no matter how well they're built.
Full Time: 1 - 1 (0/2/0 - 2/1/0) |

Round 4: JamesDSF's Necromantic "Turbo Wolves"
Odds of escaping this one without a loss were pretty small.
- Three of my four best players were out. M8 blodger / BGTmb BOrc / BG BOrc
- Up against an Ag2+ BDT wolf and a Ma9 BDTmb wolf
- Up against a mighty fine Necromantic team. 2x runner up, 2x 3rd, 7th time in Prem
- Up against a mighty fine Necro coach. Currently #4 in the world on the NAF Necro ranking (would have been #1 if this post was written last week)
So how bad was it?
Drive 1
A T8 great escape worthy of Skittle's R2 hobgoblin
Drive 2
Closer to a 1TTD than I would have got. Though, perhaps spectator Faulcon would have taken it to the line
Halftime 1 - 0
Drive 3
Varag dodge!
Dodge Roll [2]
Loner Roll [4]
Dodge Roll [4]
...sadly no pow
Drive 4
Too much happened to break it all down. The BOrc coach spent most of the time on the back foot valiantly scrambling. The better coach got there in the end.
Drive 5
Varag pickup, goblin catch, Troll..... trolled it.
Full Time 1 - 2 (0/0/0 - 2/2/0)
GGs need to hit harder. |

Round 5: CokeGuy's Underworld "Believe in Swarming"
Up against the reigning SWL champion, but I felt pretty confident going into this one. The gutter runner was missing. I'd overdog Bomber so there was only one star to face. The UW were bottom of the table. Would this be the game where I paint the UW square on my bingo board green?
Drive 1
Turn 7. I could score. RR in pocket, and surefeet. Straight run to the line 92.6% odds.
I didn't want to give them the chance to score back before halftime, so I stalled. What could 6 UW do against my 9 anyway?
Oh. Snotling 3D pushed out the way (grab is good), then it was dodge skill and reroll in the pocket to pull off 2x 3+ rolls. 79% odds.
I should have scored T7.
Half Time: 0 - 0
Drive 2
Turn 12. Simple 3+ dodge and a gfi. No reroll.
Drive 3
Turn 16. Again up on numbers. Surely he couldn't stop me this time.
Full Time: 1 - 1 (5/3/1 - 1/2/0)
6 cas in 4 games, then 9 in one. I certainly can't complain about the dice. I should have scored on T7. Dammit, dammit, dammit. |
