“Khorne demanded blood and got it.

First half I pressured the elves to score. With lots of frenzy hugging on the side. They tried to stall and I surfed the carrier. Ball was tossed in my direction. Elves tried to catch up and were met with faield rushes and a dub skull I think?

Up 1-0 and with my stronger players versus his weaker ones because of the heat, things were looking up. But of 7 players, I could only spare 3 in the back. First turn failed a RR on the pickup. Second turn, did the same thing. Elves scored easily because of this. I received again - apparently the blood turned off because my removal was doing nothing. Pick up failed again. All the elves crowded the ball. I managed a 1 die block on an elf BC and another one caught the ball in a TZ.

Takeaways:

- This team is here for blood. 3 casualties including a dead tree so far.

- The failed pickups were the difference. I surrounded the ball with as many as I could and used a RR to try to pick it up and all of it failed. I dont think I could have done that different.

- I liked hanging back with most of the team and waiting to pressure toward the EZ. I liked that about my play.

- Officious ref got me twice, and ref banned me twice (argued the call once). Sometimes the ref and kick off rolls get really swingy and theres nothing you can do.

- Looking like I have the game and then failing everything that spectacularly, I just need to remember why im in this tournament. I am seeking blood, everything else is secondary.

Fun game and good chat with the opp - would def play again. ”
