“I don't mind having to fight for a tie (or even struggle to keep a loss from being too great) but receiving so many injuries (including the death of poor Laddie) so quickly while delivering effectively none (the one I managed was fixed by the apo) was disheartening. The theoretical numerical advantage I started with ended almost immediately, and there was nothing I could do but watch and struggle to at least try to break free of the surrounding horde as my opponent stalled for 4+ turns per half.

Between both halves the Crew broke opponent armor three times in total, while themselves regularly being stunned and worse. It was a rout as would be remembered in sleepless nights, the pitch slippery with blood, and the cold logic of my opponent's approach to things was effective, but not comforting.

Even so, I sincerely apologize to my opponent for my lack of humor in the face of the devastation and wish him luck in this and future tournaments.”
