NIL8 over DoH
What's there to say? Bloodtube is a crazy map, and we weren't looking forward to playing it again. But after losing last week to tmp, we wanted to at least give it another try. So we faced off Monday against our buddies from DoH in and attempted to play something resembling a defense. But it was offense -- not defense -- that ruled the day.
Round 1 was supposed to take place on the DoH server. But despite great pings for everyone, the server kept crashing minutes into prematch. So we moved over to Breed's great server and got things started. For the round, the NIL8 defense settled on setup that Blink suggested. And for the most part, it worked. We gave up less caps than last week. Still, the DoH offense kept moving our flag thanks in large part to a pesky O engy. Fortunately, our offense was able to keep up cap for cap and the round ended 110-100 in NIL8's favor.
For Round 2 we stayed on the NIL8 server. After all the problems the DoH offense gave us in the round 1, we decided to make a slight lineup change. And at first, things were going good and we jumped out to an early lead. But then one of our D players dropped and we didn't have a sub for several crucial minutes. Meanwhile, the DoH offense started clicking because of great spy work by Zeik. DoH made a strong come back, until the score was almost tied. But the NIL8 offense again stepped up and out scored the DoH offense 150-130.
GG DoH. It was intense.
