Completed Dawn of War tournament - itz DONE!

[Darth Roxor]

I could in about 45 minutes.

 

[Darth Roxor]

Stormcrowfleet fought bravely, but bullshit Tau ranged blob proved 2stronk. Thanks for the gaems.

Thus the tournament has been opened. Knock yourselves out lads.

 

[Black_Willow]

Is there any way to watch these tournament games?

 

[Darth Roxor]

I assume some of them will land on RK47's youtube channel.

Replays of my two games with Stormcrowfleet are here if anyone wants to watch them.

You can also spec live in-game if you have Soulstorm.

If we had any class, two of us would stream and cast the games on twitch. Think a cross between astroslav and the Blood Bowl announcers.

 

[hello friend]

do you have any class Reject_666_6

Snorkack I'm game but would prefer a little earlier, 2100 GMT+1 or so.

 

[Snorkack]

dont really think so... would wed 2100 work for you?

 

[hello friend]

Yep yep wednesday it is

Space Marine Brothers, you must prevail against the foul xenos that are the Tau. Fight bravely to avenge the proud Crimson Fists.

I've beaten Roxor 1vs1 I think just twice or so, and both times because he got picks he could barely use (orks and Deldar).

There is no shame in dying gloriously.

Poland, first to fight.
Stormcrowfleet vs Jew Rat

Spoiler

A predictable outcome.
First match:
A lot of newcomers have trouble against Raptor harass. All I can say is, practice dancing your workers. And have a minefield to bait the Raptors into for burst damage and disruption.
The two Space Marines opening should be sufficient to rain enough firepower and minimize damage.
Take note of capture speed: Strategic Point caps fastest, Critical point slowest, Relic is somewhere in between.
Chaos exploits early harassment advantage to take the map and hits T2, toys with their prey a bit and GG.

Second match:
Pretty abysmal and shows the lack of understanding of what makes Sisters of Battle a strong faction in T1.
Better read up more, Stormcrow.

 

[Stormcrowfleet]

I only picked SOB because I play them IRL. I'm a LARPer in heart.

 

[Dayyālu]

I and Stormcrowfleet did a couple of friendly sparring matches with our main factions, and yeah, it will be a meatgrinder. I wonder if there's any point in the CHAD Division and we should not simply let Roxor and Jaedar go forth.

But again, losing is fun! as they say.

Damn this game still looks gorgeous after all these years. And that atmosphere.

Having to play a second faction (and mainly having to learn about 2 while learning game basics) probably isn't doing newbs any favors, either.

 

[Ninjerk]

LEARNING TWO AT ONCE IS HARD RK47

Ninjerk vs Deso - Game 1

Spoiler

That hurt to watch.
Lack of map familiarity apparent.
Basic marines can only take you so far vs Big Shootas.
Out-eco'd and out-squadded, SM can't really put up a fight.
Ninjerk really needs a solid plan and maybe better situational awareness.

*roxorowski has just imagined a tourney where 8 players play nothing but IG and mirror matches are more common than others*

When Polish Raptors jump into your base

 

[Ninjerk]

desocupado took advantage of my newbness and picked his primary twice.

 

[RK47]

Bring in the defendant.

 

[Darth Roxor]

desocupado took advantage of my newbness and picked his primary twice.

the court will assemble today still and investigate

*awaiting VAR review*
