The second half starts, the Skaven are missing Headsplitter, and the Khemri are receiving once again.
Do once again note the Khemri's excellent positioning, and apparent fear of the Skaven linos on the los.
True tacticool genius.
Zing!
Cheering fans grant every team a reroll. Ball lands p. far away.
The Negron begin with a blitz on a lino...
... which makes the tomb guardian end up in exactly the same spot it would have been in if it had been placed on the los, but without a wasted blitz.
... seriously
Undercover elf thro-ra picks up the ball. Turn ends.
A blitz-ra is smacked down.
Then the skaven stun a skellington
And form up around the carrier. Turnover.
The Khemri have to clear out some rats.
And almost succeed except for a cheeky runner.
Skaven lose another player!
While a TG is wrestled down. Turnover
A Blitz-ra is injured in a britz!
Brittle-boned weakling.
But it regens and nonchalantly walks off the field.
Popamole.
The noose tightens around the thro-ra.
WHEN SUDDENLY
That's a MNG guard lino. Not bad
And a KO'd gutter runner!
This is good sport!
The turn ends and tide may yet turn for the Khemri...!
...nevermind.
FOUL SAUCERY!
The thro-ra carrier is struck down by the Skaven's hired wizard, and badly hurt in the process. However, popamole regen works again, and he can walk off the field nonchalantly as well.
And the rest is obvious
Bah.
The TG ko'd in the first turn finally gets up.
Family of Twitch is now severely undermanned, but with 4 turns left, there's no possibility for the Khemri to draw.
AND HEY, LOOK AT THAT, COACH PROUDFT FINALLY REALISED IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA TO BASH DOWN THE LOS WHEN YOU ARE RECEIVING
Kickings!
High kickings, even! Thro-ra fails to catch the ball, first time this match.
What do you know, first moves and the los already gets KO and stun. WHODATHUNKIT.
The undercover elf thro-ra picks up the ball, and the turn ends.
... without a blitz???
lolwut
Skaven respond in kind.
And then the most useless stormvermin in BB history gets KO'd while it tries to doge out.
Khemri advance with the ball.
And succeed on a hand-off!
Blitz-ra carrier moves further down the line, a lino is knocked down.
Turn ends. Once again without a blitz.
FOR THE LOVE OF THE EMPRAH, DUDE, WHERE'S MY BLITZ
Skaven blitz a-coming
Only a push. And turn ends.
Khemri finally perform a blitz.
With the ball carrier. Which effectively ends up as a normal block and third wasted blitz in a row.
what is this i dont even
Turnover
Jaedar attempts a desperate -2d block in one last attempt to stop the Khemri from scoring. But even rerolling doesn't bring the desired result, and the gutter runner bites the astrogranite.
The other runner is then pushed to the sideline
Time for sum surfin!
...
are you fucking shitting me
Hue.
Hue.
Quick snap lets the rat los gtfo.
Predictable target practice.
Khemri move ahead for no reason.
More target practice, that looks pretty disturbing from this angle.
And that's a game over.
Family of Twitch gets through to quarter finals, while Burrowing Beetles return to their pyramids to
masturbate and weep rethink their tactics for the next season.
Commander Boreale's final thoughts:
Jaedar didn't play at his top form, and the Khemri could have easily used that to their advantage, but the Khemri coach was too much of a COWARD, and a FEWL to actually play a proper bash game. The way he set up his los at the start of every drive boggled my mind. Of course, the lightning was an unfortunate setback, but the rat players began to get kicked off the field way too late than they should have. Stay vigilant, bruvas.
Stay tuned for more action later, as the Knights of Codexia face off the Camp Town Ork Boyz on an unspecified date, while the Secret Military Union tackles the F13 Bridgeburners on Monday evening.
