“After waiting about 30 minutes in game finder, trying to get a games against Chaos Dwarves and Lizardmen teams that were the exact same TV as my humans (lame pickers :P ) - finally up popped these pro elves, I checked their team out and didn't offer a game because it looked a little unfair. But Paperino offered me a game and tired of waiting I accepted.
I assumed this was going to be a walk in the park and in the first half I played like a total idiot; probably because I thought it would be such a walkover and wasn't really giving the game my attention. But since I went in 0-0 I thought I still has a good chance. We had suffered 1 cas each. However in the next 2 turns the pro elves Ko'd half of my team or more and I couldn't hurt anything (including a line elf with a niggle that I hit with MB at least 5 times). The second half was a horrible dicing. However I got two chances at the ball carrier when I was down to 5 players and the second attempt paid off. I got the ball, defended my carrier then made a long pass down-field 5+ and a 4+ to catch... finally my luck had changed. My opponent put one DT - on my carrier I had no RR left and just needed a push on a 2 dice block to score and win. Alas no my dice turned against me again and I rolled the skulls. Meaning my opponent had a chance at a score with a 2+ dodge, 3+ pick up, 3+pass, 2+ catch, 3+ hand-off (it was raining) fortunately the pass failed leaving the game tied.
It was a truly horrible way to end my teams 11 match winning streak. But to be honest I played terribly in the first half and was fortunate to get away with the draw in the end. Even though I could have so easily won it if that block had worked it wouldn't have been a fair result.”
