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!
