UKeSA and stuff

So yeah, we nailed a spot in the UKeSA championship division which wasn't too surprising.
I suppose our main focus will now be on winning the championship title and claiming the 1000£ prize pot so we can get some ice cream and all that good stuff. I think we've got a pretty good chance to be first and I'm 100% confident we'll end up in top 3! If not, I got a grapefruit waiting for me.

Our group looks like this:











Main resistance quite definitely coming from delirium.. possibly northwave but didn't they like fold last week or something? Hope they get their shit together.

NEXT UP:

ETF2L Season 4 week 5 22.2 :: vs dmg WON

Will the russians put an end to our magnificent 3 win streak, are the days of terror over?! hope not! Our biggest game in the ETF2L this season and should be a good one. A quick look at their current roster reveals that they've found some quality scouts to join them.

EnemyDown 23.2 :: vs Hampshire Heavies WON

If the russians fail, will these chaps put us down? Highly doubt it but better be careful. Currently on a 6 win streak in the EnemyDown league.

UKeSA Season 1 25.2 :: vs miBty WON

The date might not hold, it's the default UKeSA date. Don't see a reason why we wouldn't play, though. Actually lost a pcw 0-1 to these guys so better be EXTRA careful. In the end I see us winning this one anyway.

Wireplay Season 2 1.3 :: vs weapons of the rebellion LOST

As wltrs mentioned earlier, still not scheduled. It'll get played though.
UPDATE: scheduled.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Fun Facts:
Altbst has a grey parrot
wltrs is a flaming heterosexual

Mystery of the week?
Other than a parrot, Altbst also has a kid...?

Russel Crowe is a handsome man

Played three officials after the last update:

EnemyDown :: vs Troopers 8-0, 8-1 WIN
ETF2L :: vs Fakkel Brigade 6-3, 4-4 WIN
Wireplay :: vs plan-B 4-1, 1-0 WIN

And gladly won all of them.
Interestingly we played the plan-B game with a merc demoman, deith, as we parted ways with numlocked due to different reasons!
Now that Seb is gone, it also means that I'm back in charge, all hail King Pizza! Actually we sort of shared stuff so that I handle ETF2L and PUBLIC RELATIONS, Steven handles Wireplay/ED/ESL, wltrs wants to arrange pcw's and I made cube to do the recruiting because I hate that shit?!

In other news, we got in our first conflict with vTroopers but it's settled now and the story is pretty boring!

Admirable wants to contribute to the blog.
Anton turns 8 years old, happy birthday, buddy!
Here, I got a picture of some finnish kittens:

ihatethinkingofgoodtitles

Guess it's my turn now, this is a booooring match update but I want to keep Robbe happy.

RESULTS

First of all, wltrs forgot to mention that our Doppelnullen match was covered by pwnage.tv. At a quick glance I couldn't find the archived stream but I'll see to it, maybe I could rip it off the site and host it somewhere..

EnemyDown :: WIN vs Mafia

Not much about this one really, we had a solid game and beat them 4-0(fastlane) and 8-2(turbine)

Wireplay :: DRAW vs Team CoolerMaster

We, the underdogs, pulled out a draw that not a lot of people would have expected. This game was actually played straight after the game against Mafia and we got to play fastlane again winning it 3-2 this time. Cp_well could have gone either way really, if I remember correctly, we even had a 3-1 lead at some point but the final score was 3-4 for TCM.

ETF2L :: WIN vs DCSB

To be honest, I think most of us(including me) thought that this match would be a pleasant stroll for us with all the rumoured and observated roster problems DCSB has had lately. It ended up being a really tight 2-1, 5-4 victory for us. Good game which was shadowed a bit by rage/lag from our side but hey, we won.

Here's a quote from Mole, taken from the ETF2L match comments:

Can’t believe how close this was and you got so lucky! haha. Shame for us this game wasn’t later in the season with only just getting a lineup sorted then one dropping out last minute. But it still proved to be a great game, I really enjoyed it. wotr2 made no mistake in taking advantage of every little mistake we made and we were punished for it and we know where to improve on. Well played though.

NEXT UP

Wireplay Season 2 21.1 :: vs Team Druidz

We always seem to do bad against DRz in pcw's, but those are pcw's and I think we can match them pretty well judging from their/our recent results etc.

THESGL Supernova Series 22.1 :: vs Crack Clan

Ah, get to be the underdogs against one of the top3 Euro teams. Who knows, maybe we'll cause a major upset :) Crack! is always a fun clan to play against.

ETF2L Season 4 24.1 :: vs Clones Inc.

Should be no problem but hey, not a bad team so better be prepared. Interestingly we're playing dustbowl, cube claims to have incredible dinosaurs in hornets-tactics for it and promises us free 3 points!

Got a shitload of officials coming up, glad to have the year finally started!

2009

Leagues and shit

Will be an interesting start for the year with all these officials in different leagues coming up.. except everyone is a bit bitter when we got placed into division 3 in the ETFL2 after getting our hopes up when we heard we might get to play in division 2.
At least the promotion/relegation-system works which is nice, but I just wonder how some of the new teams got ranked higher than us, suppose there's more than meets the eye.

What cube has to say about all this. Just to spice up the blog a bit.

Gladly we got a spot in the premier division in the upcoming season 2 of Wireplay TF2. Would be pretty boring to play in the lower divisions though.
















Sadly our place in EnemyDown season 4 is also in division 3.
















Also, I heard we'd play TODAY the fifth of january in an ETF2L invite cup with teams such as Die Doppelnullen, KomaCrew, Druidz, TCM and 4K but that's all I've heard really, I would ask numlocked but he's away doing something!?

Oh, and numlocked released a frag movie, I'll post the link here although I can't imagine anyone getting it after reading about it from here. Because no one really reads this blog, that is.

sherpa said he lacks motivation because we keep playing no-name teams and will probably be inactive.
biomass hasn't played in a while now, but is still lurking in IRC so maybe his holiday was a big hoax!
Mike has pretty much stopped playing TF2 for now and is focusing on L4D competitive gaming, personally I can't imagine how you can play the versus mode(I assume they play versus?) with such enthusiasm but hey, could be worse.

So as far as I know, our main lineup will be:
Admirable (soldier)
Altbstfrth (soldier)
cube (soldier)
kevorkian (scout)
numlocked (demoman)
pat (medic)
wltrs (scout)

That will leave us with "only" 7 players, in an ideal situation that would be all we need but to truly get the pcw's rolling we might need one more depending on what sherpa decides and what Admirable will do about his studies.

PS: editing this blog is a claustrophobic experience.

Sport the War

Happy new year and all that stuff. We will start practising again on 2.1.2009 and probably soon after play Round 4 in the ETF2L Cup where we will face the german division one team, Die Doppelnollen.

To anyone interested, here is our official match record in .xls-format.
Oh, and happy 23rd birthday big boy wltrs.

Results

ESL

numlocked seems to have made a sneaky post on our real website http://www.clan-wotr.com/ so I'll just paste that stuff here:

"Although the season wasn't meant to finish for another 4 weeks, we have been given 4 defaults out of all 7 of our games, so we are officially the winners of division 4c. Although it is the worst league in ESL, we got placed in there due to us being a reserve team for any drop-outs. Anyway, we also have the best score difference out of every ESL tf2 division, and have only played 3 games!" - Lord Sebastian the Third




So myeah, I guess this still is our very first "gold" in anything. Some of the clans that defaulted to us have played with each other so I smell something fishy here!

Gladly ETF2L Season 4 will start soon and we'll have some pressure performing, the leagues/cups we're currently in don't quite cut it.

2on2 Scout Cup

wltrs and I participated in a 2on2 scout cup hosted by onlinegamer.se










We made it second after beating 4 pairs of scouts. It was a pretty fun waste of an evening, nothing too serious. Curse treigzak and his guerrilla tactics though :(
