the REAL DoW comp report!

So we arrive at Low Yat Plaza, the scene for the DoW tourney, and we find out what maps we will be playing. And not to my surprise at all, i found out that me and Ahmad, Team 4, WGS LOST IN SPACE, would be playing the 1st round in a new map, Tainted Place. Ah well...

Still, the fact we were in the 2nd half of the table meant we'd only be playing at 2pm. Time enough to catch some sleep. Anyway, Team 2, WGS T.Ts of Doom and Team 5, WGS The Irregulars would play at 11am.

Unfortunately both teams lost in the first round of the comp. To their credit however, Team 2, lost to the team that made it all the way to qualify for Sunday. The pressure was definitely on the rest, and since my team was playing in the afternoon, Team 4 in particular for that day. In any case, after seeing the team that defeated Team 2 play, we realised the standard was relatively high.

I went to get food at lunch time, and then I passed out on the makeshift stage for about half an hour. I then awoke to a pleasing sight, that of two girls removing their jackets and long skirts to sweet black numbers, spaghetti straps and mini-skirts. Turned out they were promoters for the event, and I was sleeping precisely on the spot where they put their bags under the stage. I just sat there and er... watched...?

We finally played at 2pm and me and Ahmad did our typical shit, early game rush. Thing is, we are horrible at mid-game late game stuff, so we just stuck to our standard tactics. Fortunately, we ended up winning 2-0, relieving pressure and increasing motivation at the same time.

So we had some time to kill, so we ended up watching our second round prospective opponents play in the 1st round. And holy shit, they were freaking good. They played the keyboard like a f*cking piano. And what hotkeys did I know aside from the 1-0 we set ourselves? B C, B L, Q ha ha....

So yeah, we fell to some nasty eldar blinking tactics to by far a superior team, like team 2. We spent the rest of the day playing free Dawn of War games with the tournament PCs, hey we needed to release some frustration alright!

It really sucked that all three teams didn't make it for Sunday. However, said condition helped to set up the events of the following night...!
