gloryHC to bring pwnage!

My thoughts on the pracc tonight. Overall I'm thouroughly impressed, and I hope I'm not the only one. Our first serious time playing together, so we should lose, even get stomped. Strats have potential, roles must be drilled and flashes and smokes must be timed. In regards to all this, we did as expected. I mean, if even one flash is mistimed, our whole synergy potentially gets ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up and we feel dreadful about the execution.

You might've specced me, and seen my aim wasn't top notch, and that's partly because of hesitating to what my role in the team is, getting used to how we retake and talk together, and of course I could of had a better aimday, cause I was really ♥♥♥♥ at times.

And about that retake on Bsite 3v1, which we obviously should've won, here's how we should've or could've dealt with the situation.

Everyone gather arch. Smoke up for pit, (maybe tower as well?) and shiftwalk towards site, one hugging the tower wall all the way (will he see that if he's in tower?) and two on the other side. IMO that way we have a sneaky guy who can backstab him if he decides to peak. If he's any other place I also think we should be fine.

Or one could run quad, bait the ♥♥♥♥♥ out while the two other hesitates or slowly walks towards site. Both hugging each other's wall. What are your thoughts on this?

And on the T-side, a couple of times I caught the mid-guy offguard with my underground "Norton Antivirus"-popup frags. What do we do from there?

At that point we have to take into account that we are 5 vs4, meaning they are most likely two at each site, and an all-out take-by-force should in general result in a plant.

An idea is to regroup, smoke off bananacar, one guy cutting into logs (see what i did there?!?!), 2 guys doing flashes and fake that push, the rest waiting 5 seconds and run off into B-quad/apps style? That's one way of doing it in mye eyes.

And last, but not least; Complaining? Both these teams were good, better than us, had more routine than us. There's no point in putting the blame in flashes that should've struck them blind, or inet-issues having an impact on ur reg, unless it's obvious - then we just leave. That is like saying "I did everything i could, I won't adapt to the challenges i just succumbed to" or "it's not my fault, it's the game's. I firmly believe that getting further as a player we have to rise above it, and that no top-player, apart from ritch, got to the level they are at today, by blaming destructive circumstances. Catch my drift?

And to pinpoint, this goes for everyone, myself included. I'm not on a high horse here or anything.

There's nothing wrong in admitting "Hey, what could I have done different to outplay that douche?" and "That was ♥♥♥♥ by me, I'll not do that again in the same situation", or just be confident - "Next time, he's mine, for sure!"

So, that's my thoughts! :D:D:DD:D:D:D
