“Lustrian Qualifier match 2nd round:

Only 3 elf team out of 128 entered the Cup so having a total pro elf showdown was really unexpected, but we had it.

I had to face a superior team, no doubts.
Being an experienced pro elf player I know how deadly the NOS - dump off combo could be, but facing a NOS - dump off - safe throw passer is even harder!!! That was the key for Nobel Laureates success (as it was in many GLT matches I think).
As far as the game was all about elfball (all the 1st half) my team had the skills to score, so we entered 2nd half on a 2-2 result.
But with Nobel Laureates receiving, coach malitrius did the right thing and started the dump off - nos - safe throw - catch and everything else clinic.
The task was made easier when 3 of my elves went KO on first turn.
Anyway, Score More leapers blitzed many tiems the dump offers (especially the thrower) but the only time they failed the dump off catch the scattered ball went straight to another catcher's hand :)
Nobel were able to play that tactic till the last turn, they got some cas too in the meanwhile, where my elves failed miserably instead (and I got some pows too).
3 side steppers on the los made the eventual 1 turn push impossible and the game ended with my first cas (ehehe, love you nuffle... :DDDDD )

I enjoyed the game even in the loss, malitrius knows how to play the skilled pro elves and deserved to win.

-----------------------------------------------
Now a complaint about strict rules:

Yes, I played my first turn vs some nasty orcs, I won on a coin toss and incredibly without suffering injuries.
Malitrius had a bye on his first round so he went to play me with a full team when he had to face instead an undead team (with 390.000 on the bank!!!!) on the 1st round.
Some days before I asked him about the match and he told me that he could play in the weekend (deadline was friday at midnight)
I told Angie about that, adding that I really preferred them playing the match instead of giving a bye. Angie told me that he couldnt force deadline even for just 1 day.
So, even with my consent for a delay (I was the interested part on it), the game was forfeited to malitrius.
I'm rather sure he would have won anyway but surely suffering some damages. That ruined the fairness of our match a bit.
I'd like administrator to be a little more flexible in situation like that.

Update after malitrius post

The complaint was only against the forfeit, not against you ;)

I wrote last sentence "I enjoyed the game even in the loss, malitrius knows how to play the skilled pro elves and deserved to win" so I agree about who has to get 2nd round ;))

I didnt know about Manbush problems... now that I know... bah, why entering a Major if you can't play the games... anyway undead with 3 dirty players, count, 2 mummies (he would have buy a fresh one) could do some damages especially when you can roll 3 die set on the los players.

To clarify for the last time, the complain was about the forfeit and not about your win or anything else :]
