Played Trials with Ottermack and TheeChaos last night. Had a couple close games (including 1 loss), but most of our ticket went pretty smoothly. With no more mercy buff, we needed one final win to go to the lighthouse.

Our final opponents of the night were a great team, but we seemed to have their number early on. We won the first 3 rounds without too much trouble. But then things started to go wrong during the heavy round. 1 player on the enemy team was red-bar, which was making it difficult to land hits. He also had a knack for killing us after he had already died :-/.

We lost 3 straight rounds, tying up the game. We then traded wins, bringing the score to 4-4 (including a real heartbreaking moment where had 2 enemies down, but the remaining enemy used his bladedancer to score some clutch kills and revive his teammates).

During the final round, things took a sudden disastrous turn when TheeChaos got gunned down just as one of our enemies popped his Stormcaller super and fried Ottermack, leaving me alone to deal with the lightning-spewing foe and his 2 teammates. I won't spoil the ending... lets just say my hands have finally stopped shaking O_o

The match went so long that my PlayStation DVR couldn't even save the entire thing. This video picks up during round 2. Worth watching is you've got a spare 15 minutes :)
