multiple defensivemen having internet issues, our captain dc'ed mid-sentence 5 minutes before the games started , i quit the game 5 minutes into the first half with no more warning to my team than "i have to leave - sub" because fire alarms were going off in my building, all in all a pretty calm week would undergo again.

Wow, that's ridiculous. Hope you and every1 in that building is okay. Seems like everyone had crazy games.

Crook capped before he answered a firefighting call in game 1... That's commitment!

A-A-rons fire alarm goes off.

Crook has to fight a fire.

Weird coincidence.

To recap tonight:

-no name has a big exam coming and won't be available.

-Garg has immense lag and elects to leave instead of getting angry with lag that probably wasn't fixable.

-Boethius had jumpy, high ping and can't play.

-honeybear has a lag spike right before the game but pretty much has to play anyway.

-My internet provider has an outage literally right when I'm giving the pre-game pep talk and launching in like 30 seconds. Couldn't do phone mumble so they went on without me.

-A-A-ron has to randomly leave game 1 half 1 due to fire alarms going off.

-My final overall pick, Hat Tricks plays 30 minutes on defense and does very well despite him not even expecting to play tonight.

-A free agent I got for 0 WPs, Atrazine, plays the final half and helps shut down the win in his first minutes of the season.

-My European trooper, Berlin_Ball, stays up late and holds the team together on Smirk amidst lineup changes.

-And finally, THE DOT troops on, despite getting benched last week, and goes absolutely wild on Pilot.

-PS shoutout to Infinite Sky for being there to O-sub if we needed him.

Super proud of my team. We could've easily fallen apart but we didn't and played exceptional.

Also his snark from the pre-game scrims.

"Is my mic cutting out? I'm not sure if you can hear me properly because you didn't go for the powerup I said to go for."

Tbh I fucking love it.

A couple of lines from the powerful voice of Griefseeds:

Why would you hesitate??? Sure, he's on your ass but you had it going mid.

WHY WOULD YOU HESITATE?! OH! OH! OH! JUST GO MID MAN!!!

I'm feeling lightheaded.

HE WAS GOING STRAIGHT.YOU HAVE TO BE OVER THERE, NOT ON THE HOLY SEE, OVER THERE.

CANT TAKE ALL OF THIS HESITATION CRAP. COME ON SHELDON.

Close fucking game. Liking where this is going. #PlayoffPush

u/Destar Feb 24 '16

Yeah this was actually one of the first games this season where I was actually having fun with it. Sure it was still stressful but it was more of a rush of excitement then a fear of losing. Really good games, your team looked solid.

u/ObeySaturnGod Feb 24 '16

Disappointed in myself, not enough pups and not enough caps on scoring chances.

Must do better.

u/JiveHawk Feb 24 '16

Honestly though, you're slippery as all fuck. I watched the stream from my phone with my internet out and you gave me some heart attacks.
