ENSL S15: recent matches

Thursday, November 25th, 2010

Unfortunately the last month has seen a serious bout of inactivity in the entire scene — in what little is left of it anyway. Even just getting a PCW has proven difficult and officials not being played has been the norm rather than the exception. While we weren’t the first to stop playing, this has affected us too. Our practice lately has been non-existant, in part due to no opponents and in part due to lack of available players. As a result, the quality of our play has taken a nose dive. We still intend to finish this season in style and with semi finals coming next week we’ll hopefully get back into activity and melt some faces.

 

Last week we played a two matches in a row on Sunday, to try to catch up with the season schedule. We defeated both DeGz and CAL-NS, although in a less than impressive manner and are pretty much guaranteed a spot in the semi finals even though we have two matches remaining. Unfortunately lagga had some problems with the ENSL plugin, which delayed the DeGz match by an hour and ultimately forced us to play with mercs. Big thanks to Osku for mercing against DeGz and to Doctor for mercing against CAL-NS.

 

I’m not entirely sure what’s going on with Prostokvashino or TROLLS, but hopefully we’ll play those matches on Sunday to wrap up the league part of Season 15.

Doctor leaves, GibbZ joins

Tuesday, November 9th, 2010

Unfortunately Doctor decided to cut his time with us short as he needed to focus on his studies. Fun times were had and we wish him good luck in the future. To fill out our roster we’ve recruited GibbZ, previously of The Sproggalots. He’s an accomplished player that can fill any role on the team if needed and a welcome addition to our merry band.

 

In addition, dux will be taking over as Commander, probably for the remainder of the season — maybe even permanently? He’s still a field player at heart, but his commanding is already at a good level and improving every time we play. I expect nothing but good things.

Preface

 

The top match of the league part of the season is coming up this week. The 9L-TROLLS drama has been going on for a while now, and although it’s pretty weak stuff, it’s better than nothing. The outcome of this match probably doesn’t make much of a difference, but e-egos are on the line and both 9L and TROLLS have those in abundance. This should be an intense, closely fought and entertaining match — and who knows, maybe there will even be some proper drama and rivalry to add some excitement to this season.
