[her0n]

Joey you need to create yourself a clanbase ID then contact Kaution if you want to be considered for the team :O Tis the rules :(

[afty]

2-0 Win, congrats everyone.


Notes:

1] A close game as Sentinel, could have gone either way but Kautions Silencer got a bit silly and we had fun fun fun once it got down to 5v5 in the middle. Note to self: when playing Shandelzare, play better.

2] A rout really, as Scourge we won quite convincingly. Never really in contention, the Tidehunter is stronger than I believed.

All in all really good fun, but I really must try to play some heroes i know properly next time. Got away with it as Scourge with a couple of lucky early kills, but as Sentinel it showed. I think a little more prep and a personal "short list" for either team that allows me to responsively pick heroes will be worth doing.

[Quietus]

I agree. I think the team as a whole for both sides needs looking at.
Yes we routed them as Scourge, but frankly, their team totally failed to gel. After the initial gang on the right (which seems like an interesting tactic, might be worth considering a yoink) they failed to control the game. Playing defensively seems a strong tactic early game, and it suits our general play styles.

As Sentinel, I feel we did surprisingly badly. I don't think the game was anywhere near as dangerous as it could have been and our teamwork was poor. Hero choices were a little off as well. When I mentioned Shandelzaar I meant for Her0n to take Shandelzaar leaving Afty with the Troll still. I do feel that unless the enemy team makes mistakes, Yurnero will remain weak all game.

Further, we need to think a little more about our group attacks. There were several occasions when taking the extra few seconds to have the whole team invis and in position before the attack would have helped to ensure we survived with more heroes and they lost even more.

Oh, and I'm not bitter about my ulti's cooldown graphic at all. Clearly. Not bitter. Stupid game.

firstly sorry about my PC crashing during the second game, fortunately it was late enough that it didnt matter, will ensure it doesnt happen again (assuming its something i can control)
secondly

Sent
Played okay, but quietus is right, we were a little off at times, and only due to a lucky "get lost" when we were 4 man down did the game not go horribly wrong, it could have tilted so easily at that point, i would prefer not to leave a game down to luck if at all possible

Scourge
Better game but mostly because they had a bad choice of hero's against ours and forced us to play defencivly, had they not done the early game gank on myself and heron i feel the game would have been as balanced as the sentinal game, but it did a sort of reality check and made is play a bit more as we should.

What i will say is first clan base game, and first ever clan game for that, apart from playing internal mpuk games and endless streams of publics not much proper what i would call "practice" so all in all could have gone alot worse, and all of the above boils down to simply feeling more comfortable with hero choice and overall co-ordination, something which can be worked on in following games.

So overall wasnt bad, could be better, could have been one HELL of alot worse.

[Killy]

wp guys (and girl) ;)

[her0n]

:D yes it was good!
thanks for kil helping to fix my ts issue xD

p.s I wonder if they would have got upset if they'd known a girl helped whoop their arse ;)

[Kaution]

All i can say was i enjoyed it alot (specially with Silencer going bad and stealing ALL there int, i feel had i not gone off with that it could definately been more open)

i do think Shandelzare would be best suited to her0n and we should not really go with yurnero - hes great for publics but people should know him and how he works in CB games. and i also feel that i should play nerubian assasin on scourge if hes not going to be played by Afty..

all in all i enjoyed it :)

[Baz]

Kaution is silly with the NA - last nights game proved this me thinks :)

[her0n]

Yeah yunero just gets a bit dicked on when he has to defend at base vs a lot of heros. Shandelzare ftw :)
