#13 Hot Blood – Dead (RIP)
“Unfortunatly second half of the game was one long nightmare due to me having ping times sometimes as high as 100k ms we decided to tough it out ratehr than go for a reload, but in hindsight, considering how frustrating it was at times, I am thinking we should have gone with a reload as soon as the trouble started.
Over to the game, I recieved and managed to stall pretty well without taking too many casualities in first half and scored pretty late in first half. I was happy planning to go into halftime with a 1-0 lead and a relatively healthy team, seeing I still had the wizard as backup.
But Nuffle smiled at me here, my kick ended up just next to the sidelines and despite ag 3 and sure hands the khemri failed the pickup and the resulting bounce saw the ball end up far downfield in the middle of the khemri half. Vampires are masters of an almost wood elf like caliber at capitalizing on misstakes liek this and I could run a sidestepping blodger down with the ball into enemy teritory and score again in my 8th turn
Second half and again kickof favored me with a good ko result as the game was delayed a turn leaving my opponent only 7 turns to score twice against me, still with a healthy team and a wizard. Now the khemri finally found their A game however and the casualities started to pile up. Somewhere around here the game basically frooze on my end and the rest of the half was living hell. LAg lag lag and lag doesnt even begin to describe it, I think both Wotfud and me figured game was pretty much over by now and combined with the abysmall lag there wasnt very muh spirit in the late game. I used my wizard in a pretty unoptimized manner and it only delayed the khemri a turn or so, instead of handing me the ball and a td on a silver platter wich was my intent with it, but still, 2-0 is way too much for khemri to catch up with in 7 turns and in the end we could secure a pretty safe 2-1 victory and still a pretty healthy team for round 3. Let's see who ill be up against there.
Thanks for the game and better luk next major Wotfud!”

After facing higher TR/TS opposition in Round 1 it seemed I wasn't going to get a break, facing another higher TR/TS opponent.
Handicaps for me were Illegal Drugs and Morleys Revenge. I gave +Str to my tackle/MB blitzer to try and give me a chance of taking down the Vampires. Unfortunately Morleys was very lame... it effected 3 thralls, but never really kept more than one out at a time. I had hired Ramtut in a vain effort to counter the AG5 STR5 vamp I faced... but Gatts had an ace in the hole with a wizard... this was always going to be an insurance policy against my ag2 team.
1st half the Vampires received. Bad start already... I think had I had a chance at battering them first I might have had a reverse in fortune.
The Vamps made short work of my LoS, and then easily got in range to score... they even bated the khemri, taunting them to tackle them... unfortunately there was little I could do do get close until half way through the half. 0-1.
The remaining turns I tried to take some thralls down on the LoS, and safely get the ball... it was resting in the furthest backward area of my half. I surrounded the area, marked any free vamps I could and went to get the ball with my ag3 surehands blitzer... who promptly dropped the ball, scattered into the crowd and landed within dodging distance of a vampire. With some good hyno gazes and dodging, the Vamps took an unassailable 0-2 lead. Game over really.
At this point, had the surehands player kept the ball I think I had a good chance of at least equalising 2nd half and forcing overtime with hopefully Gatt's player pool and rerolls reduced. But it wasn't to be.
2nd half I received, and I did everything I could do work the ball into the vamps half. It was tough, and gradually the hitting power of the Khemri began to tell, but it was too little too late. In the end, it took a hand off to the ag2 blitzer to run in for a consolation TD in the last turn of the game.
Unfortunately throughout the match Gatts had some BIG lag issues, and an apparent army of spectators. We had to persevere as Gatts gradually caught up with the game. Frustrating luck, frustrating lagged opponent, and out of the cup. Ah well... gave it a shot.
Good luck next round Gatts.”
