“Round 2 of the Ulthuan Invitational XI Qualifier. An interesting game to say the least, not much happened in the first half... Entered the second half tied 0-0 with the Athletic Bilbao Lions receiving.
Despite have +1 in Fame, a pitch invasion nearly stunned the entire Cult of The Scourge defence while barely affecting the Athletic Bilbao Lions offence. However, thanks to a botched ball pickup, the Cult was able to apply significant pressure on the ball carrier for several turns, which enabled them to recover well from the pitch invasion.
Thanks to many successful 1 block die hitting (several of which led to KOs or casualties), the Lions were able to gain possession of the ball and looked to be in a good place with a slight personal advantage. Thanks to some creative guard placement and mummy breaktackle dodging, the Cult was again able to apply pressure on the ball carrier but failed to knock him down (with a RR).
Being surrounded, the Lions ball carrier was forced to attempt a one die block in order to get out of the sticky situation... Finally nuffle decided that was enough one die blocking success as he rolled skull RR skull... Suddenly, the Cult was able to scoop up the ball and run off to a 1-0 victory.
The constant one block die success was a great source of frustration throughout the game but in the end, it led directly to the win, so we cannot complain too much!”
