Changes!

K so this blog is starting to get kind of pointless as we are getting more and more games, i can't keep updating every time we play anymore. I'll tell you what happened yesterday though.

We played Knockout's "alt team" which consists of Majin, the KO warrior, Vilu the KO pala, Seita the mage of the KO hunter which he played in s1, Diivl the KO warlocks priest and a ele shaman from their guild. As of right now they are the only good 2345 in our BG and we played them loads yesterday and the day before.

Two days ago we started out with the hunter line up and losing 2 games, then we switched in Glas and won pretty easily with a score of like 6 or 5 to 1. Yesterday though Fontaine felt he really wanted to try to learn how to beat them with the hunter setup, because switching in Glas to win would be pretty pointless since we already knew how to win with that setup. Keeping our rating doesn't really matter anymore, we have the gear we wan't (almost) and we have proven ourselves as a decent team.

Winning felt impossible lol. We won like one game and lost a million. It was very frustrating and i ended up crying about selling my char and quitting the game etcetera. :D
They have the best setup available for effective target switching, but it was enough for them to just stick on me and kill me. Seita landed 1 school locking CS on Fontaine in all the games we played, but it didn't matter. They don't need interrupts to kill me. As soon as Majin gets me to 50% (no hard feat) i'm dead. Bloodlust + sham/mage burst and there's nothing i can do.

But whatever, their setup is hard for our setup and we could have switched in Glas to make our setup better against theirs but we didn't.

Í don't know if I'm gonna change my style of writing in this blog or just stop writing. We'll see.

HAHAWARLOCKS

WTF LOL at warlocks (news yeah). Me, Mindseeker and Glasmastarn made a 3v3 team with me playing shadow and Mindseeker playing affliction, and we went 52 - 2 (first loss was because Glas dc'd) with 2210 rating. Even if they manage to kill me i can be pretty confident that the others will win 2v3 since we have probably made them spend a lot of mana and cooldowns by then. One game me and Glas got separated early in the game and i got nuked while out of LoS from Glas (my fault). It was kind of a long game after that but the other team didn't even get close to winning. We didn't meet any SR teams though which was probably why we didn't lose.

The one legit loss we had was to another SP/lock team who resisted both my fear and silence while Glas was a bit late on healing (record vs this team ended up something like 5 - 1 in our favour).

Shadow is awesome, i am skilled and you are all noobs cause you don't flay the way i flay.

Murph ftw

Riiiiiight so tonight went a little better in 5v5, we played something like 16-17 games and only lost one, putting us back at rank 2 with 2344 rating. We didn't get to face the teams that took our rating on Sunday which was a bit disappointing, but we'll get back at them sooner or later.

Dassan was ill so our old warrior and good friend Murph helped us out for the night. He's a great player and probably my best "online friend" (if there is such a thing :D) so it was a lot of fun. Thanks!

Now i guess we need to beat Knockout a few times to take back rank one since they have a huge lead in rating (2470 or something) but that won't be for a few days. Tomorrow I'm speccing shadow to practise 3v3 with Glasmastarn and Mindseeker as we are thinking about going to WSVG in london together with Murph and Fontaine. I also wan't to play some 2v2 with Ambergo cause we've been getting our asses kicked by a million warrior teams lately and i don't like it. Stupid bracket.


I'll say it again, if you're looking for point boosting in 3v3 whisper me in game or leave a comment here or something. Also if you're interested in buying a 2v2 team with a 2113 rating, contact me. I need gold. Now. Please. Ty.

FU

Shit day today. We had the biggest tilt since we lost 300 rating in 2 days in season one. We lost to some teams we shouldn't have lost to, generally played pretty badly, lagged around, Fontaine was sick irl and so on and so forth. from ~2370 rating to 2245, lowest we've had in season two. Everyone has bad days though i guess and we'll get back on our feet sooner or later.

In other news, Team Glasmastarn (Murph, Fontaine and Glasmastarn) are rank 1 in 3v3, grats and gw to them! They have yet to keep a winning record vs my main team though so i'm cooler (we haven't played them in ages and we suck now :D).

Me, Esko and Mindseeker made another 3v3 team to keep Esko in shape between 5v5 nights. Or, well we took a team we made to give my alt rogue some arena points, but who cares. We went from 1550 with 0 - 1 to 2217 with 49 - 5 stats. If you are interested in paying us to get points from our 3v3 team contact me in game! The price is something like 400g per week with ~2100 rating.

Thats it for now i guess, taa.

Back in business

It's been a while now since my last post. To my surprise there has been a lot of people asking for updates which was fun, didn't know anyone actually read this blog lol. Thanks!


We have finally decided upon and recruited a new warlock, a guy called Painless from Sylvanas-EU (name was taken so he's Mindseeker now on Vashj). He's a great guy and shows a lot of promise. He does boatloads of damage and has very good communication skills for someone who just arrived in a new team with people he doesn't know. However, he doesn't have that much experience from competitive 5v5 so some mistakes are bound to be made while he is learning positioning and such, although he's picking it up fast. Welcome aboard!


We started the week at 2361 (we dropped last week when playing 2xwarrior for points, ty for the help Murph!) and ended up at the exact same rating at the end of the week. Sunday night we queued up to face nothing but crap teams, gaining 8 rating in 6 wins. We played a couple on monday aswell though i can't remember how it went for some reason, or even what teams we played... hmm. Anyway, tuesday night, as soon as we queued up we got to face one of the best teams in the BG, Fikagruppen. They have been inactive for a long while just as we have, (actually even longer i think, though it only takes a short while to get out of shape in the arena*)
and we managed to win the first game.

Second game we played really really badly and got paaawned. Third and fourth game they won aswell, though these were closer. In both these games they dropped someone so fast it was scary, i fucked up and didn't react in time and the person focused (mindseeker once, esko who hasn't played WoW in two weeks once) didn't dodge properly. Anyway, i can not deny that this team is awesome, top 3 in the BG afaik.

*Losing teamwork and awareness etc

The above was written this morning but i didn't have time to finish it cause i had to go to the unemployment office. :( I'm such a cliché.

Tonight we had loads more games vs Fika and it was a blast. I really love it when you face a team that pushes you to really give it your all and actually force us to develop our strategies and teamwork. We ended up like 50-50 (7-5 in our favor according to Juliana) in stats, but since we were higher rated we lost a lot of rating and ended up at 2348. It really doesn't matter though, we had a lot of fun.
We lost some games to Dassan running in too far and getting either cc'd where i couldn't dispell or just focused and killed before we could get to him. But we also won a few games to the same thing, trying to get Wesk away form his healers then nuking him. Some games were really short when they mounted in and we all got clumped up and people died while others went on forever, being reset over and over again when everyone ran back and drank to full mana. One game lasted 12 minutes, and we finally won it when Wesk went too far away from his team and got killed. It is obvious, though, that we have a lot to improve on when it comes to target switching and to some extent communication.

Anyway, one of the best nights of 5v5 i've had so far and i really hope Fikagruppen stays active.
GG's!

- _ - ;;;

We played 10 games today. Max rating won: 3. Lost one game to a 4 dps nuke team that took us by surprise, rating lost: 30. We met them again and played right, giving us an easy win and 2 or 3 rating. Hurra.

9 - 1 and minus 16 rating. Pretty frustrating.
