“1st defeat in a long time in ranked, and 1st for this team.

AV9 seems to crumble like putty, though the Elves did their share of crumbling too.

Even so, the game was punctuated by rubbish luck for both teams, maybe a little better positioning for the Elves - by the end of the match I'd had enough of 1s and failed everythings.

Every GFI I tried failed, as far as I recall. The GFI failed, the rerolls failed. Key to this for me was a GFI to score, and a gfi to get an orc on the ball carrier, plus a successful 1 die block on the ball carrier (I should've known every dodge/[pickup in TZ would work without rr - careless of me :( ) stopped me scoring.

Other than that, -1 FF, rubbish winnings and only one player skilling up (at least a skill this time - last game - no skill for anyone) and a loss, as well as a feeling that the dice, once more, were against me in most respects (can't remember how many blocks were pushbacks in the 2nd half, a lot) - can't pass, can't gfi, well, I guess I'm just moving into another phase of poor to no luck, it happens.

Good win for the High Elves - took their luck when needed, got good winnings and only missing one player. Heck, even my return multiple assist foul only resulted in my player getting sent off - couldn't even break armour! (I was saving it for your dirty player - I might as well not have bothered - should have guessed that would fail too).

Overall, well played Bradipo, I don't think I played well enough to win, and tried too many things with dice rather than simply walking the ball into the EZ.
