Match Date: 6-22-2011
My first match in the Ars Maximus League, and first time league match for that matter. Damn was I excited! So excited that I drastically under estimated my opponent, and my own team for that matter unfortunately.
I received the kickoff, and with that my team went into motion. The Nurgle Warrior, Lord Salvis Lornosis balled up his fist, and cracked the Norse Lineman Ketilsson square across the jaw, the punch was so strong that it snapped the neck of the Lineman killing him instantly. The match was starting out well for me, or so I thought!

My entire team was on the line, I figured since I was playing a Norse team that was very bash orientated, I'd bash back! However that didn't turn out to be the case, most of the Norse team having the Block skill plagued me badly as I didn't quite get the rolls I was looking for. Not to mention I wasn't as experienced with the interface of the game as I should have been, and managed to misclick all over the damn place causing my team to wildly dodge attacks, over, and over. Somehow I was lucky enough though that none of my guys got hit to cause a turnover.
With the death of their teammate, the Titans seemed to have gotten pissed the fuck off, and came at me with a vengeance. They used their Block skill to great efficiency, however they didn't managed to gain any CAS on my team even though my team had so many Rotters. He did manage to crowd surf the fuck out my team, damn that Frenzy skill!
I tried to get my Pestigor up field to score, and seemed to be doing well at, but then the Titans busted through my line, and crowd surfed my Pestigor, causing the ball to go the opposite direction I wanted it to, which put the Titans in perfect position to score. While I didn't have the speed needed to stop the reversal, I still tried to. I managed to get four GFI's between my Beast, and a Nurgle Warrior successfully, but it was to little, to late. The Titan ball carrier made it over the line, bringing the score to 1-0.
The second half of the game started off really well for the Titans. Again, I'd choose an up in your face defense, and had everyone on the line except for my Pestigor. This was a bad move on my part, as it gave the Titans another opportunity to use their Block skill to great efficiency. The Titans knocked my entire team down, and ran the ball through my line preparing to hand the ball off. Lucky for me Disturbing Presence saved my ass, even a RR on the Titans part couldn't stop the fumble, and the ball landed right in front of my Beast. Here was my chance to hopefully make some sort of comeback!
The Brawl For The Ball Begins
At this point the match turned into a brawl, as both teams viciously beat the fuck out of each other trying to get the ball that remained in the center of the field for the longest time. The Titans managed to crowd surf all of my Rotters, however I still had my Warriors, and Beast guarding the ball. Then the Titans finally managed to recover the ball, run it partially down the field, and hand it off to another player who just about ran in for the touchdown before running out of movement. My lone Pestigor ran up field to try to stop the Titan from scoring, but wasn't able to as the Titan player Blitzed him, and ran in for the touchdown bringing the score to 2-0.
It was my last turn, and I had no chance of scoring, so I decided to bash! One of my Rotters must have been pissed at loosing the match, because he punched the fuck out of another Norse Lineman, and killed him. This time however the Titans brought out the Apothecary, and saved him, he'd only miss the next game.
With that the game came to an end. My first league match, which in turn was also my first loss. I had a blast playing, and learned some new tactics, and strategies for future matches. Hopefully I'd do better in my next league match!
Did I recruit Ketilsson after killing him you ask? You betcha! How could I not? I know Rotters are not the best of players, but it was my first kill, in my first league match. He's like a trophy!
