“UI XI Qualifier: Golden Lantern - First Round

One of those great matches you're waiting for when you participate to a Major tournament!

My Girls were still not prepared to face CRP teams (like in this match) but they have to try to believe it.
These humans seemed pretty ferocious, with lots of ST4+block+tackle+MB+guard, but my Girls had some guards too, so it was not so unbalanced.

First half my Girls kick off. The plan is to hold the line as good as possible, trying to survive to the monsters. With one babe and a wiz, they don't need more.
Humans only can make KO's, so it's fine, KO's are back and only DP's are out (one cas, one because of this damn ref!)
0-1

Second Half, I try to attack pretty early on the side, and Humans were not rested enough to understand what happened.
But my plan is not as great as I wanted, and there is an easy path to blitz 2d my BC, not far from the sideline :)
Humans fell into the trap, and I have 3 big ones near the sideline, with a lot of tempted fans behind them. One blitzer out, BH. Another KO. It worked fine!
But I'm so feverish that I don't build a great cage, and I have to score too early.
1-1

Humans have 3 turns to go to the endzone.
They let me a path the their BC too, only needed some gfi's to reach it... snake! Humans don't want to wait for more luck, and score in turn 7, so I only have one turn to score (with 10 players and none with more than 6ma).
1-2

It is the end... NO!
Ref checks his watch, 2 turns left!
My attack is classical, but the ogre is still dumb, and I have an easy way to score, just need some 3+/2+ with rerolls... rolled 1 on 3+ pick up, reroll used, 2+ dodge is fine, 2+ pass failed.
1-2

It was a closer match that I thought, and very entertaining! Oly took it with a smile despite his good rolls :P
Was funny and I hope this nice elf-orc-human team will go far in this tournament!
Good luck Oly!”
