Game Uno: Team Ball Midship
By far one of VFs weakest Gametypes. We always seem to struggle on Oddball. Not this time. Don't belive the details in the ladder history (I entered the scores in the wrong boxes). We spawned in Pink and they Spawned in Carbine, which is odd as it doesn't happen very often. So the spwan went in our favor and the initial 'send the lacky to get the ball and get killed before they reach it' began. We knew that they were going to pull the old 'bottom base' set-up and our main goal was to thwart that as much as possible by keeping it out of the base and making them take longer to set-up.
In the begining the time was neck and neck with the lead changing everytime the other team overtook the ball. Mid game they did successfully set up in bottom Red and put a huge chunk of change on the scoreboard. It was tough catching up, but we did stick to the game plan and they never successfully set back up in base. Near the end, VF only had about a 30 second lead with about a buck and change left on the clock when Moes Hoes overtook the ball. From there it was a mad dash just to keep the ball out of their hands so time could expire on them. We did it and pulled out a glorious victory!
Game Zwei: Koth Sanctuary
Eek! Time for VF to pick a new challenge game! Moes Hoes dominated! At least it started out good, I got a VERY lucky no scope against MLG Royal at the very start. In the end, I think I should have let him kill me instead because he had it out for me the rest of the game! Moes Hoes set up excellent ring defense, most of the time offing the VF on-rush before we could get half way to the hill. Oh look, Royal killed me again... Now its Torn's turn.... Budman, yep.... Moesley hasn't killed me in a while, nevermind... A couple of times my teammates and myself spawned and instantly had two BRs on us. They held the map extremely well and never gave us longer than 30 seconds in the hill at a time. The 'Fog of War' made an apperance as a fifth member of Moes Hoes, making me throw grenades at Laud and put some BR bursts in RedSooners back. Good job Hoes, I mean that in the nicest way !!!
Game How Ever They Say Three in Canada: TS Lockout
This is it. VF needs this for the win.
This was one of those games where everything starts off great, things go according to plan, but go sour fast... VF Spawned BR Tower (Hurray!) I got the first kill by setting off the fusion cores on snipe tower just as someone grabbed the Sniper Rifle. I'm pretty sure the rifle got blown off the map (after it was touched) so that would give us some leverage when we hold the BR tower.
And it did, I started off with a Killing Spree and VF had a cushy lead going into the 5 minute mark. Moes Hoes rushed the BR tower. I was working BR Bridge, BR 2 and BR Ramp (Mid) when I heard Holder and Laud call out 'BR Ramp'. Now I don't know whats wrong with me, but I love watching impending doom coming straight at me. It facinates me. So, instead of doing the smart thing and wait around the corner, I poke my head out the door just in time to greet Budman.
So far I've done my best to keep my distance from him because I knew what would come if he got to close. Da BXAh! I didn't have a full clip so I could only do a BXB and hope for the best. Alas, he got me. I think, by far, BXR is the easiest way to go, just because it leaves you bewildered and makes the respawn wait feel like a plesant wait in the dentists office.
Anyways, we fend off the initial rush and I spawn in the Library to find a Sniper Rifle close by, oh look the sword is there too... SO, now I have sword and snipe and I'm sitting pretty on BR 3 looking for a target... Still looking... Plenty going on Bottom glass from the comm I'm hearing my team shout out but nothing on snipe tower or top grav...
"BR RAMP!", Holder shouts out. I whip out the old blade and jump off the side towards BR ramp. There is Royal, shooting at me, still out of range for the lunge.... Still... Royal keeps firing... Its red, I'm dead... Now I could have sworn I saw my weapons fall off the map, I even called the sniper rifle out on respawn. But I guess Royal caught it.
Moes Hoes took the BR tower on that rush and left us to spawn in Snipe tower. Thats when the cushy lead went to pot. We spent the rest of the game trying to get close to the BR tower but no matter which way we went, we had either 3 BRs or 2 BRs and a Sniper on us. Eeeuck.... So if Eks or Soup are reading this, VF needs a lesson on how to take back the BR tower or successfully keep the lead from the Sniper tower!!!
Way to go Moes Hoes! It was a really great match and we all had fun. If you guys ever want to scrim, give me a shout, VF would gladly play again!
See you on LIVE!
