Good times in Trials last night!

Thanks for a sweaty as hell match, Cruel, Slycrel, and peak!

I didn't get any film of the game (whoops), but if I did, you'd have heard me begging my buddies to make me look good to the dbo crew :D IGolding saved the day twice with his clutch play (both 1v3s... holy cow), I'm really not sure how I managed to come out on top for kills.

You guys steamrolled us for the first 3 rounds - not a single other team we faced had your approach and it caught us totally off guard. That first round especially felt like you guys were everywhere! We ultimately decided you were choosing 3 different approach paths and splitting the team, plus we noticed cruel would win any 1v1 against us, so we bunched up and waited for the pinch. The biggest thing we did was catch Sly by himself a few times, or catch peak or cruel in that side tunnel between C and the water tower where reviving is super dangerous because you can't dodge.

One of the better rounds of trials I've ever played - thanks for the fun times, guys :D

Might be the most heartbreaking end to a match I've ever had ;)

So cool. Funny how you and I almost never mixed it up. I was shooting slycrel almost the whole game, I feel. Things I noticed:

- That grenade through the window was awesome. I remember seeing you throw it and thinking "that's goddam brilliant."

- Round 3 I think you should have won, but went after special ammo instead of watching for IGolding's maneuver.

- Heavy round... You sat down?! I was laughing so hard when you did that in the video. We could not figure out what you guys were doing after I deterred your initial charge. Also... When you GG'd me I was at 98% captured on the point. Sooooo frustrating. Though I did previously eat one of your rockets while my res overshield was filling up, so I guess it was even?

- I suck at shadowshot. Actually, that shot I fired should have killed Sly, but it completely failed to track him. Worst super in the game, imo. So hard to aim and use.

- I was pleased to see that I was doing a good job of getting behind cover when you were shooting me from the side. I had no idea how clear of a shot your first shot was and how quickly I was finding cover. I was running this game with quick revive instead of shadestep and holy god did I miss shadestep.

- That final super... Seeing it from your screen you could totally tell what was happening. Crazy! That first grenade outside sort of made you all run towards each other, which led to the grouping for the super. Lucky, that.

Good times! Maybe one of these days we'll be on the same team...

Yeah, we did see a lot of each other.

We could have communicated better. There were times when peaks and cruel fell back and I was pushing in too hard, causing us problems. Overall I think the split and shoot strategy worked pretty well.

Really fun to play you guys, glad that happened.

Also, we went up to 8 wins until our next loss, pretty close to the lighthouse. I think peaks was in tears by the end. Some day. =)
