  • Season 18: TWLB Official Hot or Not - Week 4

    Pandora vs Revenge
    15:00 – 8:04

    Pandora Lineup:
    Ogron(terrier), Mattey/zidane(sharks), Hulk/mcvicar/turban/Spezza/dreamwin(spiders)

    Revenge Lineup:
    Hydride(terr), rodney/eelam/menelvagor(sharks), megalo/squallFF8/Steep/voth/hellkite(spiders)
    We predicted that Pandora would win this and they did. Pandora took the early lead in this game but Revenge made a good game of it by showing short periods of decent teamwork. Pandora looked sharp for the majority of the game and only revealed a few moments of weakness, one notable breakdown in their shark timing resulted in a teamfer shark bomb by Rodney which broke the Pandora cram.
    But Pandora’s performance was truly a team effort which resulted in allowing Dreamwin, Hulk, Mcvicar, Spezza and Turb to simply rain down torrents of bullets. Mattey and Zidane both logged very solid games and Orgon also did well, not playing a flashy, aggressive game but instead placing his team strategically when and where they needed to be. The Pandora sharks/terrier built the foundation for their spiders to own it up. And own it up they did, Spezza seemed almost unstoppable at times.
    Revenge seemed to hang around in the game and was putting some time on the clock, but at about the half way mark they made a lineup change and things went downhill. I’m not quite sure why the change was made, Rodney was playing well but was subbed by Eelam. The Revenge spiders appeared to be struggling although Voth was pushing hard this week and racked up two terrier kills.

    Hot of the game – Spezza; guy was huge
    Not of the game- Whomever made the Revenge substitution decision; still might not have won but the sub sure didn’t help
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




    Value vs. Warhable
    15:00 – 0:33
    Value Lineup:
    Waxy(terr), Commodo/Soild/War(sharks), Ardour/dice/infrared/ivf/renzi/Solske(spiders)

    Warhable Lineup:
    kyler/choi(terr,spider), fakiiri/contempt/nanto/(sharks), jatt/shaddowknight/thewadorooster(spiders)

    We predicted that Warhable would struggle to get any flag time and this indeed was the case in this game. Value simply dominated Warhable for the entire game and the result was never in doubt. Renzi and Dice lead the rest of the Value spiders and schooled the hapless Warhable. Soild, Commodo and Waxy all put in solid performances for Value but truth is that Warhale simply never stood a chance in this game. But kudos and respect to Warhable players who have stayed the course and continue to stay active in the face of adversity.

    Hot of the game – renzi; only saw spawn area 11 times
    Not of the Game – kyler’s spidering
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



    Enemy vs. Fierce
    15:00 – 2:36
    Game of The Week

    Enemy Lineup:
    Cintra(terr), porkjet/cranium(sharks), Ayn/Diuley/Kian/M_M God/sedan/trance(spiders), Trasher(Lanc)
    Fierce Lineup:
    Mythrandir(terr), LF/conspiracy/murder(sharks), Last Standing/LF/Mean gene/murder/ri$e again$t/tj hazuki/tomatospiders(spiders), Mean Green(jav)

    We picked Enemy to remain undefeated but thought this would be a closer game. Enemy had Cintra back and fielded a very strong lineup. Fierce got behind the 8-ball quickly with some badly timed lagouts and never seemed to recover. Mythrandir did what he could but Enemy overran Fierce in the flag room and lower base.
    Cintra played well and showed little signs of rust. Cran and Pork played solidly. Enemy’s spiders, Ayn, Diuley, Kain, M_M God, sedan, and trance, all looked very, very good. Trasher had fun in a Lanc and annoyed Fierce throughout the game. Cranium, in a demonstration of his incredible grasp of all aspects of TWL, made critical subs by manipulating the lineup to benefit his TWLM monies. For example Sedan was subbed out after putting in a ‘disappointing’ 43-6 performance.

    Hot of the game – M-M God/Trasher
    Not of the Game – TJ Hazuki/Murder
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



    DicE vs. Dudgeon
    15:00 – 4:42


    Dice Lineup:
    Zizu(terr), dwopple/a2m(sharks), kess/jamal/maketso/panama/stayon/wbm(spiders)

    Dudgeon Lineup:
    Mikkiz(terr), Downfall/nokkonen/sakke(sharks), apt/gilder/Leitz/melanoma/zizzo/nokkonen(spiders), Zizzo(jav,warbird)


    This game was predicted a Dice win and this an accurate prediction. Dudgeon was basically torn apart by Dice’s timing, teamwork, and accuracy. Dudgeon managed to get into flag room a few times but kess, and wbm both probably could have handled them all by themselves. All the Dice spiders were beasts. Zizu played his usual outstanding game and Dwopple and a2m looked as good as they have all season with impeccable timing. Dice really appears to be hitting on all cylinders now.
    Dudgeon showed a few signs of live but this game was never in doubt. They simply had no answer for Dice’s skill.

    Hot of the game – Kess/wbm; simply unstoppable
    Not of the Game – Melanoma
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




    Hot of the week – Spezza; owned Revenge
    Honorable mention: Kess/wbm; schooled Dudgeon

    Not of the week – TJ Hazuki/ Melanoma; both played far under their capabilities
    Honorable mention: Ephemeral; for picking an awful Game of the Week

    Oh sure i'm the not of the week when warhable didn't even get more than 1 minute this week. That makes sense.

    Meh, was a terrible game on our part. Timing from the sharks were off, lag issues with spider/sharks, couldn't break the cram for the longest time.. It was just not working for us. Next week will hopefully be better.

      Thanks for the write-up, Eph.


      One thing, though:

      2:zidane> why does eph say VA (Ogron)?
      2:zidane> i think he thinks ur vatican assasin?
      2:zidane> or that vati played the ogron ship?
      2:Mcvicar> LOOOOOOOOOOOl

      I laughed pretty hard at that, curious as to what it mean

          Yeaah, I'd never intentionally play spider as I am well aware I'm a steaming sack of shit in it, but I kept lagging out in terr so it was apparent a switch needed to happen. We also only had 7 of our 12/13 man TWL roster show up, which didn't really help the mentality.
          I 100% agree with the not of the week for my game, apologies to da squad. Respect to Value for kindly speccing one (without us requesting it) to make it 'more even' (and of course for smashing us anyway).

            Nice job yet again, ephemeral!


            Just one thing I wanted to correct. That bomb which blew up pandoras cram was actually from rodney. And it wasnt because of bad timing, it was because he hid the bomb in zidanes explosion so mattey must not have seen it. He was there in cram with 3 reps. But, just wanted to fiz that other than that great write up!

            Also, revenge feels we played a sub par game. When it aas head to head we should have played entire game like that, but the fact we play only on twl days.. a bit hard to keepup with a deep squad who plays often.

            Hopefully next week we can give dice an interesting game. Jusy need every starter to show up.
            1:Hydride> who we play next week
            1:ReNdErED> Pandora
            1:ReNdErED> gulp

                  Hey Hydride,
                  Yeah I think you guys have great capabilities, just need to fulfill to that potential. I thought you played excellent in terr, I'm sure you'll carry that into next week. Keep up the good work.

                    Value vs. Warhable
                    15:00 – 0:33
                    Value Lineup:
                    Waxy(terr), Commando/Solid/War(sharks), Ardour/dice/infrared/ivf/renzi/Solske(spiders)

                      My bad, I apologize for the multiple fuckups. I have fixed the errors. Frankly my head is up my ass for doing the HoN this week since I haven't been able to play because I can't get my password reset. Good news is that if I can't get this resolved in the next few days you guys won't have to deal with me any longer.

                        Eph, I apologize for Soilderz. The entire squadron of Value encourages, and actively practices, calling him by his real name "Solid".

                        I also want to thank you for doing these write ups. I enjoy reading them.

                          Indeed =o) Thank you also! I also did play sub-par. Better than the game vs Value though LOL. At this point, we're trying to simply add that competition and ruin perfect seasons for squads, or throw down that upset. Being realistic, unless we have all of our starters ready to go and we play 100%... odds of us winning basing are very very slim. But, the odds of us being able to throw an upset into the mix... well, I think that's quite likely. And honestly, if we do that, i'll be satisified. Compared to the squad we had last season, we're gutted lol.

                          Like I said though, difficult to keep up when our only games we play are the TWL games, while the top 3 (Enemy, Pandora, Dice) are playing throughout the week. It's just a matter of dedication and depth. But, we'll keep showing up and doing our best to cause that "AMG THEY WON" moment.
