To my surprise, it was extremely tilted towards the Veterans, with us winning 13/15 of the matches. The Challengers really should've used more teamwork, but regardless, it was a good fight.

Probably didn't help that my internet has been buggy lately, and I had almost 400 ping throughout most of the game.

A pretty big number of Challengers had lag issues, like Tabuu and MCD. Tabuu was a facestabbing death machine, though.
 
Most of our team didn't communicate via voice chat. Me, Tabuu, and Snack were really the only ones that did, as well as Neu towards the end. Watching your replays, it seems that might've gone against us really badly.

Communication is definitely a big reason why we were able to gain so many victories. Another factor is that we were all very good at what we were playing instead of just filling needed roles, which I felt a couple people had to do, but certainly not all.

I kind of wish someone on the Challengers team was recording the game so I could see the battle from their eyes.
 
I don't really have an excuse for my poor performance beyond horrible lag. I was communicating as best as I could, and I was playing my best class, so yeah.

I think also you guys are very good at playing with each other, while a lot of us haven't really practiced as a team before, although again that could've been overcome by better communication.

You were a very persistent Sniper that kept Stooben and I in check, I'd say.

It is no secret we go pubbing together, so we definitely were set for the match. Maybe the next 6v9 could be more organized with the teams.
 
Sorry I wasn't able to play, I had to leave 3 hours earlier than I thought, I had to go get pizza afterwards, and by the time I got home, it was about 11 pm!
 
I'm going out to watch The Hobbit today, so unfortunately I'm going to miss a large portion- if not all- of the event, too.
 
tabuu you were there for the entire event
