“The story of Helmut and the Big Ask.

Coal Butte has the simplest of game plans. it's only three steps really. 1) Create Chaos. 2) Unleash Flingsnake. 3) Win games. All coaches counter with predictable countermeasures. First is to question who in the world would let Cervus loose with an Orc team he has no clue how to play. The next is screaming at their players. The exact number of words each coach screams varies but if you take out all the cuss words, the exact two words remain - "Stop Flingsnake!"

Which brings us to the hero of this story, the rookie linemen Helmut. The bulk of the players had worked their way to the south of the pitch leaving Helmut as vanguard. Well, chaos happened and Flingsnake started doing Flingsnke stuff and the action quickly shifted to the North and toward the end zone as Flingsnake raced for the score. He had run so fast and so far, he outran his support. A Beer Kitten blitzed off the player marking Helmut, freeing him to drop back. As the defense was out of position, there would be no support coming.

Coach Campnadian's ask was clear, Helmut had to drop back and stop Flingsnake. This is the same ask other coaches have asked with more and better players, stop Flingsnake. One talked about in the preview show showed Coach Drrek asking skinks Ocktan and Qutarrtag along with Lizardmen Miqor, Kaior' and Ixorar to drop back and simply stop Flingsnake 5v1 (Spoiler alert, they couldn't).

Legend vs Rookie; one on one with no help coming from either side. Was there a fairy tale ending? Well Helmut did give a valiant effort. But Flingsnake is Flingsnake, Helmut is a rookie, and it was a very BIG Ask.”
