  • Defiancy's first appearance in TWLB- reaction

    In their first TWLB match just now, they lost to Spastic pretty strongly, but did manage to get 5:22 of flagtime (some say that it's because Spastic weren't paying attention, but whatever).

    Anyway, they're not that bad at all. With some more experience, I could see them maybe getting a win against either Sk8 or Melee, but probably not both. (If Sk8 does the same thing they did against A-S, then it'll be a lot easier for Defiancy.)

    What Defiancy has going for them is a competent group of spiders that play a clean and efficient game. I was particularly impressed with the performance of Skynyrd, though Escales Dante did better in terms of pure statistics.

    There's lots of room for improvement, though. Here are some tips:

    I) I didn't feel that Death3D performed very effectively in Warbird. He killed the opposing terr twice, which is highly unexceptional. Perhaps a Javelin would occupy the player slot better.
    II) The Sharking on display was, to put it mildly, horrendous. Tyrome and El Deputy both constantly charged into Spastic crams without any other players going along, completely wasting their reps and not protecting any of their teammates. I'm told that the starting Sharks for Defiancy are neither of these players, but instead X Japan and Xog. If this is true, Defiancy need to get these Sharks playing in every single one of their matches, and I dearly hope they're better than what we saw today.
    III) I was similarly unimpressed by the terrier, Ray J, who seemed to consider bursting more important than staying alive. Get your priorities straight. He also ruined Defiancy's only successful staying-in-base duration, a cram that lasted one minute, by moving out of position. More careful Terrier work is an absolute must.

    Good luck to Defiancy in their future TWLB appearances.

    Alright, being that my brother is on the squad, I'll put it in their perspective

    1) Ray J is a fairly new terr. This is his first big game. He will learn, I have been over the burst thing. according to him, "he didnt know any other shots."

    2) The sharks were actually backups - X Japan and Xog are the starter sharks, and wonderful. Tryome and el dep need to work on alternating, I am helping them with this. Oh, and not hiding behind the "crosses"

    3) Yeah, Agreed on the spids. One was my bro =]

    4) The WB was sort of a powerplay thing - Death3D wanted to play :P But I've gone over what he did right/wrong and they will eithee play 5spids or patch d3d up to be a competent WB.

        heh, i tried to burst everytime i saw when spas's sharks died or i counted their reps, i tried to burst at necro and seeing if he would take the hit thinking that his sharks will rep it. anyways, we tried, gg. Alot of people thought it was gonna be 15:00 - 0:00 Spastic wins. Turns out we did better than alot of squads that have lasted longer than us. We've been a squad for a month now and we are learning as the time comes. anyways GG.

          Anyways im on the Defiancy chat, they're taking this EXTREMELY WELL. Push, you sure did pick a good squad for TWL, they are definitely willing to improve and learn. Sucks they wont make playoffs but there is a next year!

            Hey, I'm not going to make excuses. I found that very embarassing to tell you the truth- for a few reasons. I'll say that I did underestimate their sharks (tked my whole team thinking one of them wouldn't repel) and Necro needed to take it more seriously (died about 3 times trying to just fly into all of them and burst).

            I'm not trying to bring them down, but if they think we took that seriously, we didn't. It felt like a ?go base game to me.

              Well...

              We were doing an average job for playing spas when we had flag control I admit I was just blind pushing at the end... but what i was having trouble with their wb, Zyclon i believe, he was always pushing up against ray j's back end but when d3d starting to go after him that cleared up...

              On another note what were most of the predicitions for us? under a minute... well we beat that. I just hope some ppl will realize that we can become a very big contender in the TWLB in general. I would like to say that X japan, Xog, and El Deputy are starters because they are all plain out better than me.... and had we had x jap or xog in we proably would of faired better. I am truely just sorry i couldnt perform well enuff to help our cram enough.

              So basically i just wanted to say that i take ALOT of responsibility for the low amount of flag time.

              Oh.. and by the way thankyou everyone who has givin me and my squaddies constructive critcism and not just trashing us.

                Just go ahead and play your best in the rest of your games. Me, Necromotic, and megaman89 were all in your position last year. We were on the squad War Angels, and we got into TWLB as a replacement squad in week 8. Our first scheduled game was vs. Elusive- one of the better squads in TWLB last year. The predictions were obviously in their favour, but we didn't care. We ended up winning that game, and I'm sure we turned a few heads by doing that- just like how I'm pretty sure you impressed a few people today. I'll be the first to admit that your squad did a lot better than expected, and we had pretty surprising opposition after Necro died the first time. Our weakness was that we really underestimated you. We didn't take it seriously, especially at first, but we did have to crank it up a few notches midway through the game. :P

                good luck boys.

                  When def had base, I think their sharks were the key, they did great. I would say don't use that warbird, only thing he had going for him was that he lagged like shit. Good luck in the future.

                      These guys have all the makings for a great team. They've been practicing together alot and I feel that they could throw some upsets next season should they stick around. All they're really missing is the experiance, and there's no substitute for that.

                        First of all, I want to say gg to Spastic, and thanks to everyone for all the nice comments and constructive critism. I think we played great, I personally loved it. It was my first twl match (unless I played some on Dependency, but if I did I don't remember, pot does that to ya) and it was a blast. Our guys went into that thing with the best attitudes anyone could of hoped for.

                        Ray man, you terred great. You didn't get frustrated at all, you stayed frosty and pulled some sick moves. Just leave that burst alone :P

                        Tyrome, el deputy, what can I say. You two have never sharked together, and Tyrome isn't even a starter. If you two didn't click so fast, we wouldn't of held a cram for longer than 10 seconds against these dudes.

                        Death3d, you got your tds, not in your regular area of 8-10, but maybe we can bring it a bit closer to that against melee eh?

                        Lastly, our spiders. That was the best co-ordination we've ever had. Recs mean nothing, you played like vets.

                        I'm glad we showed some people we actually know how to base, and can be pretty good at it. I really do hope we stick around, because if we do - whoever the twlb season 7 champs are, better be ready to hold on tight. Once again, thanks for all the positive attitudes, advice, and just plain kindness that I haven't seen around TW too often lately. It's great to know it still happens :P

                        Edit - shit almost forgot, you pallies gotta make fun of us or something in TC kplz? :up: thanks

                            Who is this defiancy squad you speak of? Oh yeah, paladen based them the other day. Their main weekness is their ability to block WBs. After a couple ship changes I got moved to WB and got about 10 terr kills or so. I blew past their cram and easily found ray j easily open for the shot while their spids ignored me. It would of been a big defeat by defiancy if they actually defended their terr against us. GG against spas.

Everyone just looks @ us as idiots or something All last week i was saying they got the makings to be good NEXT season, but instead ppl kept bashing them.
