“This is probably one of the matches where I've had to struggle the most. Certainly the one in a long time. The entire match; apart from the very last turns where I got lucky, I felt like I was trying to punch through a wall with my fist. My opponent succeeded in just always being in the most annoying places all the time, and his Golems were a constant pain. Somehow he managed to tie up almost all my players every round while also seeming to move around with no effort as if my own attempts at blocking him off were not even an annoyance worth looking at.

To be fair I did make a terrible play at the very start of the game. It didn't help that I rolled a double 1 on the GFI, but that doesn't make the way I played less bad. My opponent was quick to take advantage of that, and the entire first half I was struggling to keep him from the ball and the TD; and this was in my drive no less.

In the second half my opponent dropped the ball after a failed catch. I was lucky with the scatter, but again my opponent managed to block off half my team. Many rounds went with us ruffing eachother up around the ball in attempt to push the other away, and when I finally had the chance to pass it to an open player my Catcher showed us why he's a Catcher and not a Thrower, and dropped the ball where he stood.

In a desperate move to save the draw I made (with no rerolls) several dodges, GFIs, a daring blitz and an impossible pass to a Blitzer in 2 TZs. It all succeeded. I was able to dodge away with the ball and run for the endzone.

My opponent played much better than me, I have to say, and while he said he didn't feel the same, I think he deserved the victory much more than I did. It was a very exciting match for sure!”
