NIL8 over DIVISION
We will file this one under the word chaos.
Just one day after NIL8 had to scrub a practice because half the defense didn't show up, it was looking doubtful the team would have enough defenive players for its match against DIVISION on the map Torch. But true to form, everyone shows 3 minutes before matchtime. NIL8 didn't even settle on a Defensive lineup until just 2 minutes left in pre-match. So does it really surprise anyone that 30 minutes later DIVISION ends the round with 8 caps? Thankfully, the NIL8 offense stepped up and scored 8 caps of their own. So despite the confusion on the NIL8 defense, the team was still in the game going into Round 2.
After a short IRC debate about why it's not a good idea to use a sniper on defense, the NIL8 defensive squad was determined to clamp down in Round 2. Unfortunately, a guy named Warlord on the DIV offense had plans of his. Almost immediately, Warlord (with the help of his DIV teammates) scores two caps within minutes after the round started. And he kept on capping again, again and again. So like Round 1, it was up to the NIL8 offense to win or lose the match. Ryan, Sejje, Enkidu and Bonzi responded with a flurry of caps that finally gets NIL8 a 9-8 lead with just minutes left in the round. By this point Eternal stopped playing D and was doing what he could to help the team score. Meanwhile, NIL8's 4-man defense did what they could to hold off the DIV capping machine for a few precious minutes. The rounds ends with the 10-8 score and NIL8 winning the overall match 18 to 10.
Great game DIVISION ... It was a close one.
