There's just something about a Larson that seems bigger than the game itself. They're a rare little badge of honor for players who over achieve in a match, win, lose, or draw. Some players (Ag 4+) are better suited for it than others, making some Larsons seem even more incredible. What makes a Larson so rare is the occurrence of the Interception. Coaches go out of their way to avoid passing unless absolutely necessary, and when they have to pass, they take care to avoid interception chances. Even when there is a chance, it's often a 5+ or a 6+ roll. Suffice it to say, this keeps the number of Larsons down.
Now, throw in the need for MVP, and the Perfect Larson seems impossible. I've missed it twice before. Once with a Dark Elf Runner named
Emmitt Smith, and before that with a Dwarf Blitzer named
Snakes On a Foul.
Truth be told, if I had a Bull Centaur on the team I would have thought could have earned a Larson, it's
Heifer The Large, who flirted with one early on, but never caused a cas, or completed a pass. Certainly, with a Bull like that, you don't expect another Bull Centaur to be developed, or capable of achieving such a task. But sure enough,
Krem De Los Crema has done what even an elf could not.
I honestly never expect to earn a Larson, but I can't help but attempting it when it comes along, even if it costs me a win (In this case, the match ended in a tie, and though an earlier attempt to complete the pass failed, my opponent likely still would have recovered the ball to score). It's like setting a game record, despite a poor effort anywhere else. You live in that moment, and can forgive more of the bad. In victories, it makes the match Legendary, in a loss, it gives you something to play for.
