THE KOC IS ONCE AGAIN HARD AND READY TO DEFLOWER THE ONES WHO DARE RESITING.
Feel free to use me whenever a need for
stabby

Actually that was some completely unrelated butthurt RK caused on their boards, and iirc I do believe it became our team motto the week he was playing the guy who was the most offended by it (or was that the league admin? I can never remember, and don't feel like going back there to remind myself).
Anyhoo, 50sp of delicious gooey-ness covered by a thin, 6AV candy coating: place your bets peoples, when is stabby the catcher going to die? I'm saying game three, on the first drive of the second half.

Good to be back on the field coach!
I'll try not to be the LVP again.

not when ur caged by 4 guardsmen, oh wait you're not azira ho ho ho
Flashbacks: Season 7
It went like this:
We started badly in the group qualifiers.
But somehow on the final group match day we didn't need to win to advance!
The coach, realizing this, invoked his genius and allowed the team to relinquish their unbeaten record to lose 3-1 and made it through at 4th place with a 2 win 4 draws and 1 intentional loss record.
Play-offs are kinda crazy, but we all know how it went, I was hiding my true talent behind the shaky qualifier performance.
And then came our finest moment:
Knights beat Insatiables. AAR by opposing coach:
Vermins sees off the Helmets. AAR by both playing coaches:
Culminating in the final where Vermins beat Knights in a shootout 4-3.
Season 7 Final Standings:
Note:
-This table is not meant to show final finish, merely to show each team's season's performance and such.
-There will be quite a number of returning teams. I'll cover them when the group divisions are announced.

Knights 2 - 1 Ladies
Well, that ends my run. I'm pretty happy getting to the quarters with a TV1000 team. I expected to end up in the Failoffs, so this is gravy. Another season and I think The Ladies will be a force to be reckoned with. Eleanor Roosevelt needs block and break tackle. After that she's golden.
I struggled all game with my MA limitations. I chose to receive, and my drive started out pretty normally, but I rushed a bit around turn 4 and lost the ball. After a flub on RK's ogre I managed to get an advantage deep in RK's territory and scored on my turn seven. RK had two turns to score, and after my cursed blitz against his catcher he was able to do a hand-off and run...and then failed the gfi in the endzone, ending the first half 1-0.
The second half opened with RK scoring on, I think, his third round. After that it was up to me to score the tie-breaker. RK set up to his right side and had a great kick, which I was poorly prepared for. The next three turns were made up of me struggling to retain the ball, but eventually failing to do so, and RK scored his second TD. I had three turns to turn it around, and managed a great pass/handoff to Eleanor Roosevelt, along with a trot downfield, but RK was able to swarm me again and I was unable to score in the end.
It was a good game, and RK used all of his advantages with the humans. I was absolutely unable to break his armor, and he had some great blocking dice. Good luck to RK against Megrim. That's going to be a fun match to watch.

Vermins sees off the Helmets. AAR by both playing coaches:
Vermin - 2
Helmets - 1
3rd matchup between these sides in 2 seasons ends in a classic 2-1 grind.
Gruntle probably deserved better for his tentacle play keeping my GRs in TZs, but in the end, it turned out Cheddar Persille is pretty fast.
A dead thrower, dead linerat, and a another linerat with miss next game, but nothing too critical.
Actually not even that, the first half was just embarrassing, the sure footed Cheddar tripped and fell with the ball twice. Chaos had three turns of only pushing before two sets of double skulls took down the mino. And then completely failed to set up on their seventh turn to do anything with their eighth turn. A lot of spotty coverage and a lack of ball control makes that extra sad. In the second half, KOs and injuries piled up until there was a point where Ramas only fielded 3 line rats but still had al 4 of the overly resilient gutter runners (cheddar's MNG was apoth'd to badly hurt to keep him in) but that was still an easy one turn score for the rats with leap.

Warm Up 01: Welcome back!
Hey guys, let's do an actual LP for once!
Today's warm up game before real season starts is between Big Blue Balls (Human) and Orangina (Dark Elves)
Dark Elves are the toughest AG4 team to wound. They're not the fastest, but they still have natural agility to play the passing and dodge game. What they lack are basic skills to further enhance the AG-plays like passing, dodge, etc. But the biggest positive for the Dark Elves is the ability to start with 4 Blitzers and Armor Value 8 for durability. A fully developed Dark Elf team is borderline cheating. If you meet one in table top and loses, flip the table and shove his Witch Elf figurine down into your underwear.
Humans play a different ball game. They don't have amazing player statistics, but they make it up with a natural skill set that accurately matches their given roles. Four speedy (MA7) blitzers with Block, Catchers (MA8) with Dodge and Catch, Throwers with Sure Hands and Pass. Together with the Ogre (ST5) they form a play that can be switched between outright bash or a risky passing play or slow caging runs to the end zone. It doesn't work all the time, but with patience and persistence they can drive their more naturally gifted opponents mad.
Warning: Humans are not for angry people who rages all the time when defeated. It's for people who like to blame their team's natural deficiency for their losses and praise their own tactical genius for their victories.
In other words: Troll freely. You're the underdog.
Now on with the game...

Now on with the game...
Dark Elves won the coin toss and chose to Kick.
There's no easy break-away in a game vs Dark Elves, aside from the Ogre, Humans don't have much of an advantage. Anyways, I setup a thrower, catcher and lino at the back. While the rest get ready to form a cage or blitz through.
Oh wait, here's the kick off event....
Awesome. You can either choose a catcher or thrower. This is a free pick up roll at the start. I picked Jasede (catcher) to deal with it. I want to try something risky.
And he did not disappoint. OK, so I'm going to have a good 8 MA ball movement on my turn. With that in mind, I pushed everyone forward, breaking a hole through the left spreading out receivers.
I'm a big fan of this setup, but at 1000TV, this is too risky. Since this is an exhibition match, I decided to go for flash than substance. RK47 and Orange is in position to score if they receive a ball in their turn. This puts pressure on the opposition to mark/blitz them. Orange is less so, since he seems to be in no-man's land. But a little blitz here and there, and a space might open up in the middle. Also, DramaticPopcorn (Thrower) is placed just behind two covers, ready to receive a handover and make a pass if need be.
shadenuat (Lino) ends the turn with a both down.
Orangina's turn. Blitz.
Our two receivers are still upright.
The elves decides to mark our players and notice Orange is unmarked? That's our scoring option right there.

02 - To Fuck Up is Human
shadenuat gets up. Then I shifted LundB to the left for assist job.
There's the path. Let's go!
Turisas blitzes! Target down.
Parked him there for assist.
It's time for the long haul...
A handover is passing move to an adjacent player. It does not require the launcher to roll any throwing pass. Only the receiver needs to make an AG roll to succeed. But of course DramaticPopcorn will fuck it up, cause he likes drama.
Burning a reroll...and....
See how shitty human is? This ain't my fault man.
Whatever.

Only screencapped (393 shots) It's a refresher course. Also I wanna know how comfortable am I in screencapping at 2 min timers.
It's good to review what went wrong and what went right, no?
