“I think the best way to describe this match was this:
I played tactically quite poorly (many stupid 1d blocks thinking i had 2d), and if I had marginal or bad luck, this could have gotten ugly.
However, I think strategically I outplayed overdose, who was tactically flawless but left some strategical holes (the blitz kickoff and 1st half drive he mentioned, as well as a too-slow-to-develop second half attack).
This, combined with the luck generally being on my side made the score run up rather quickly. Thanks for the game - I'm looking forward to the rematch!”
First of all, Borgen fired a lino so he would not give me a handicap (a virus would kill his team). All of the nigglers were fine for the match (both had 2).
I kicked and he received and managed to get a blitz. I heavily misplayed it, didn't catch the ball and Borgen was quickly back in the drive scoring a TD. He made some 1-die blocks (Since it was 7:00 AM in EET when the match started, he was a bit drowsy) but got away with them. He managed to KO my +ST Blodge Tackler and got a cas on his first or second turn (or was it third, I'm not sure). I tried to crowdpush his +ST Blodge Tackler but the dice denied it (2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ and a couple of 1-2 die blocks depending on dauntless rolls). Borgen managed to score and inflinct 2 more casualties in one turn and I got slightly frustrated.
Then I received and decided not to cage the ball since he had a wizard. Instead, I tried to score quickly and go to the upper corner of his field trying to force him to use his Lightning bolt there. I made a huge mistake and accindently made a 6+ dodge (obviously didn't catch the 6 and it was a turnover) and Borgen had no hard time collecting the ball with a 2-die blitz. (5+ RR twice) and quickly got away with the ball since he got man advantage again (3 KOs) but I couldn't get a pow to knock down his +ST +AG Blodge Blitzer who was carrying the ball. It looked liked it would be 2-0 and the end of the match but I managed to succeed in a 3+ 3+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2-die blitz against a blodger. Even though Borgen managed to score another one T8 first half.
I might continue this report or you can watch the replay or maybe Borgen will fill this up sometime.
Oh yeah and we reloaded the match T8 first half (it was 2-0 that time so the luck-O-meter is kinda off there. It was something like 60-58 to me if I remember correctly)”
