Sucks we couldn't have kept the lead on desert3, but I think we did well overall. I'm happy to get a win vs sveark, who in my opinion is the strongest AC player at the moment by a big margin.
Special shoutout to these servers, one of the few in the game where I don't feel like I drop a single bullet, and 130ms from England to California is pretty fabuleux.
.rC|: Marti, Vanquish, #BasedGodDamDam Pi_ : Vule, Dr. P, KGB
We picked shine. They picked outpost. DamDam has returned to bless us with his most mighty and exalted presence, and he granted us victory on this glorious day.
First day back at uni today, had a 9am lecture and actually went to it. Unfortunately I was so tired that I got home, took a nap and ended up sleeping through my 1pm lecture. Far too cold to go out and do anything during the evening so played a few games.
Some inters with Marti, Zero + Hosta, and a 2v2 with Marti vs |sYs|.
Me, zero, piotrekmpc (? idk this guy but was told this is his name) vs Marti, Minion, Zangetsu. Thought we would get rekt, but apparently the teams favoured us.
Me, Marti, Hosta vs Morry, Patroclus + m@C. Was hard without ts. desert3 was a bit shaky especially at the start, and a flagbattle that went their way would easily have gone ours had we been able to communicate properly, but it wasn't too bad. Urban was a lot more one sided (and yeah, ignore the fact that I switched my ingame font during the intermission, just wanted a fresh feeling for the second game). Marti was sniping mid, Hosta held short, and I was controlling long. Again, a few slipups that could've been mitigated through the use of teamspeak but it went pretty well overall imo.
Then Marti and I 2v2'd |sYs| (Morry + Patroclus). We were losing ingress 6-1 at the start for reasons I can't articulate now even with the gift of hindsight. Slowly but surely we managed to pull it back to 8-6. Even though we could have done much better, this was actually a great game and boosted our morale a lot for the next game, which was werk. Marti sniped on werk and I pressured a lot with smg, not really sure what to say, but I guess the score speaks for itself.
Played a 2v2 with Mise vs AS - Bernatix and Feeh. Feeh was cheating his tits off by obviously wallhacking, the prefires are literally like nothing I've ever seen before even in the old By3 days, it made it almost impossible to win 1on1 duels vs him. Despite the difficulties in fragging as a result of this, especially on map #2, I felt like our teamwork and communication was actually great, not conceding a single flag on the first map when we were ahead by 10-ish frags, and actually managing to win swamp with the shitty base and over 20 less frags (yeah this is probably the first game in a year that I've gone negative, dem suicides ftw)
Bonus screenshot of some pubstomping because there doesn't seem to be much else happening tonight.
Managed to get a fuck ton of games in last night, and a few today.
Felt like I did alright individually here, but Marti kinda carried the enemy team away to a victory. Not much else could've been done.
A tosok douze game. Mise left in the last minute or something so zero subbed, but we won even with Mise's original score by about 10 frags or so. Had a pretty bad start individually but managed to step it up towards the end.
Then me/marti/xemi 3v3'd undead/mise/zero on gothic, it wasn't really difficult by any definition of the word. Teams were unbalanced af though (imo).
Same teams. This started out as a serious game, but by the 10 minute mark everyone seemed to have given up and was playing whatever random weapon they felt like/teamkilling/etc
Then zero and I 2v2'd Mise and Xemi. They picked desert3, which was a game that got off to a depressing start for us, but luckily we managed to actually pull back to a relatively respectable score. I still feel like I'm slightly rusty holding off people on short side from rvsf, not exactly taking the most advantageous engagements and so on. But the teamwork wasn't really there between us for the most part, the synchronisation was pretty bad and it allowed the enemies to trade kill very easily, effectively nullifying the last guy from our team standing. A lot to work on here.
We picked gothic. Our teamwork was better here, but still very shaky (for instance, Mise doubleflagged towards the end, which should never be possible if we didn't make mistakes). Overall I felt like we got a lucky first flag that propelled us into the lead, and after that the enemy pushes became much more desynchronised and random, allowing us to maintain full map control and therefore the frag lead. They tried changing their setups towards the end, but it was unfortunately very predictable and as such didn't really yield them much.
Then we picked sunset for a tie. Perhaps the most depressing game of the night? Felt like I went through about 2-3 solid minutes of not being able to kill anyone, probably in part due to one of my roommates attempting to stream his shitty lowtier mg2 csgo gameplay on twitch which caused my internet to rectally obliterate itself . Teamwork was also atrocious too, the one flag we got was due to a mistake the enemies made and not really as a result of us playing well - this could very easily have been 4-0 in my opinion.
Some inters today. Fairly unbalanced teams here, although the Bea+ST+ guy was ok:
Perhaps even more unbalanced teams? Was surprised we were able to keep it this close considering the shitty base we had and the frag gap, but considering we were actually leading at one point (?!) it sucks we couldn't hold on to it.
Finally got some teams I liked, but on a map I didn't like, fml
Then myself/undead/zero 3v3'd |sYs| and Zangetsu, their applicant. I had just drunk some preworkout that arrived this morning and my hands were literally shaking inconsolably throughout most of the game. We were losing 1-0 on the first map for the first 13 minutes (seriously) and then somehow managed to score 3 flags in the last 2 minutes. I guess that's a gg?
We picked gothic. Zangetsu disconnected for like 4 minutes in the middle so idk how much you want to read into this game, but here it is.
ggs
edit: Thanks to zero for telling me I posted the same screenshot twice, should now be fixed.
Played some games with Xemi vs Pi and an inter vs Marti. I swear something is wrong with the aura servers, feels like I drop at least a third of my bullets compared to sveark or xrd servers. The one nice thing about aura servers is that I don't have to upload screenshots and can just link the games via actionfps:
Felt like our teamwork was ok in the Pi games, a little was left to be desired but to their credit I'm pretty sure we underestimated them, individually they're surprisingly strong. ggs. My week free from university ends on Monday, but I will still be around after that to play, just probably not every single day. If I am needed for a specific game or intra or w/e you're planning, feel free to let me know via whatsapp and I'll do what I can to arrange some free time.
Some more games today, feel like I'm getting back to my old self individually now:
Kinda depressing loss, since we were up 3-0. Third guy on our team didn't really communicate at all so it was hard to keep track of what he was doing, but was a gg.
Mise subbed for the 3rd guy on our team and they picked gothic. Without ts it was pretty hard to make effective calls, and we were tied the whole game. Luckily I managed to score in the last 5 seconds of the game and that pulled us over to a win
Then Marti and I 2v2'd Mise and Patroclus and we used ts. Communication between us was good, and Marti was able to use his sniper effectively on long while I pressured short.
Then zero and I 2v2'd |sYs|, Morry's new clan. Some things could've gone better, but overall I was satisfied with both our team performance, and my individual performance. They picked d3, we picked sunset.
2v2 with Hosta vs Morry + Mise. With ts it could've gone much better, there was a lot of key information that needed to be communicated that simply wasn't able to be done so via binds (which hosta didn't have either). Also I generally don't like making excuses for poor performances but I'd literally been out 5 minutes before we started playing so as such my hands were freezing. Thankfully I warmed up and my performance improved over the course of the 3 games. They picked d3, we picked shine, sunset was tb.
Played a 2v2 with zero vs Pi:
Also subbed ZZ in one of their clanmatches vs Pi:
And played a few assorted inters featuring rC members over the past days:
Far from my best games, but posting to show some activity at least. ggs
@Jawer: Thanks man! So it should be "die dritte" or smth, my bad. Plurals make my brain fart. Actually now that I come to think of it, I wouldn't have applied when the clan was created so this is technically only my second (die zweite?) reapplication, but would be my third time in the clan if reaccepted. :P
@Marti: Who says you can't turn up to your lectures with a hangover?
Played some more games last night btw, two games with Mise vs Zero + Xemi (zero's internet had finished derping) and three inters with rC members/apps (Mise left before I could take the screenshot in the gothic game):
I've been a very busy boy. Stealing one of zero's screenshots because for some reason I forgot to take one:
We also played a desert3 game after the final game of ac_gothic shown here, and won by a lot, but zero's internet was rectally perforating itself so in the interest of fairness I won't post the screenshot, lol.
I have a week off from university now btw, so plenty of time to play. Will probably be on almost every day, idling on ts and such.

Jtm gros pd. Suce ma bite, or sth. J'ai besoin de pratiquer mon francais. :3

Since you replied in german I thought you wanted me to continue with it, but only writing in english does make more sense indeed, especially since anyone who is actually german and reads my application will probably throw up. EDIT: Surely iDani could understand it no?
I played some games today with Mise against Zangetsu and Sofiane from MyS. You can see the screenshots below (I don't have a screenshot of desert3 (Mise feel free to add it if you have it), but we won it anyway so it doesn't really matter in my opinion):
ggs, with ts it could have potentially gone a bit better, especially on gothic. :P
Well, I said almost completely :P I was still playing eu4 (and still do play sometimes), it's a great game. And wtf, warum dieser Spitzname passt am besten zu mir?
Thanks everyone for the GL wishes. Marti feel free to chop off any part of me you want.
Ah Deluxe, du bist mein Sonnenschein an grauen Tagen, danke für f2 :3 I quit gaming almost completely (aside from like 2 months this summer) over the past year and it left me with a lot of free time to pursue other projects. As for languages I am far from proficient in anything other than english, but aim to change that. The business stuff is just some stuff I do on the side with a friend to make some extra £££, not a full time job or anything atm but we'll see, maybe that can change! Is sauer still active btw? Might try playing again just to see how bad I am.
