The only thing I am concerned about this match is we will be playing the other SSG team in week 7 if the league. I think our strats for Davamand and Grand Bazaar are good especially for the first time suprise attack, I just hope that we either don't play SSG on the maps or that this team doesn't give them enough detail

OK looks like we have a few people that are not 100% sure, I think the best would be if we take stock at about 6pm tonight, if we don't have a full confirmed team then we cancel. I don't want us going in with a "half" team getting our asses handed to us and thereby undoing all the hard work we have done of the last couple of days/weeks

Confidence is a big factor in this game and I don't want our confidence to be undermined by something unnecessary

Cool. On the strats Paul, BF3 like any game is won by dominant strategy and then how well you adapt that to the situation at hand. It's not ideal if a team communicates our strats because we lose out on that suprise factor, but it isn't the end of the world.

Eventually every team in the league should be playing dominant strategies, but there will always be those teams that either don't cotton on or decide to do something irrational for a big risk / big win option. So I don't think we should get too wound up about it.

Let's see who's online tonight and if need be try reschedule for Sunday. The worrying thing here is that we don't have everyone available. I'm not going to get into morality judgements of excuses/reasons, but it is the bigger issue facing the success of the team.

We're cutting it fine. Lep and Pmurgs are MIA, Drag is playing ME3 and NoMaD is still a part timer. When Ion moves we are going to have problems fielding a team. So unless those conditions change we should be thinking about a roster change or two for DGL.
