Just got a PM from Ricochet_ZA confirming our game for wednesday. He asked what maps, I said I woulod check with Tyger but it would most probably metro
SO that is RFH on Tuesday and TE on Wednesday
Prac Games
Moderators: SlipperyDuck, Hubris
Yup without giving in to bitching and moaning too much, it was not one of our proudest moments. It really begs the question are we going to step up to the Premier plate or just prove that BzK Zaphire prick right? I know which outcome I want to have. There are lots of things to work on, but it starts with the basics. Pitch up on time to games and come switched on, we really are not behaving like a winning team.
We face up against RFH soon and we have have to play well against them and steal a win, no excuses. It may be just a practice game, but if there is any other team in Premier we can beat its them and SiB. They also get pooned by the big teams but they are extremely tenacious teams and will never stop learning or fighting. If we want to stay in this division we need to best them early and put ourselves up a gear.
Some key words for training: actions per minute, picks and taking opportunities presented. I would like to request that we start our game nights at 6:30PM for 7PM so we have at least an hour to warm up. We simply cannot go into a Premier game cold and expect to perform well. Lets get an early dinner and get on the Grrr server so we can sharpen our eyes and make sure everyone is on the same page.
I know that's asking a lot and I don't like it very much but it's what we have to do. I'd also appreciate some fucks given in the forum, suggestions and discussion can only help us - if we only take the time to host them. I will be pop quizzing people on the stream, if you didn't watch it you will be ontop of my shit list. I know we like to pretend we can't do anything wrong but it's time for accountability because last night was piss poor.

Yip that is what I suggested as well, a warm up game before we actually play out match. Even if it means finding a server that is the most stacked and getting the squads working.
I don't think playing with ourselves before a game helps because we know each other too well so for me the following are non-negotiable
Practise : BE ON 15 minutes before so we start at 8 sharp, no fucking around
Matches: Warm up match/session before the game this means 1HOUR BEFORE
Pubs: Play together on the toughest server you can find
The above 3 are the bare minimum, doing that will only get us to not look like fools. If we want to compete then we take it up a notch

Ya look i really don't need the aggravation of this shit oks.
Really really really. I been through this before, having to baby sit oks to get them todo what they said they would is not what i signed up for.
I honestly don't give a shit what the issue is. Be there on time, know what you have todo. That is all.
Paul your point about us playing against each other is true. I don't think we getting any value out of playing against each other.
I think from now on.
Maybe pub play is what we should do, when we don't have a prac game setup.

Hi Guys, soz again for the lte coming last night.
My 2c.
We werent adjusting on Metro and not much on Seine. They were adjusting constantly up to the point that they realised that we werent adjusting anymore and they settled in and pooned up for the rest of the round. We must take note of what they are doing and move in to counter or react as apropriate. IE when we took b flag the first time their reaction was to move down orange and back rage dog. They did it the first time amd the second both myself and Paul was waiting for them and we rinced 3/4 immediately forcing them to re-treat..... On the first round we were pushing the same move over and over again knowing that they had not even moved up to ticket and was content on sitting at turnstiles. We could easily have re-located resources elsewhere seeing as they had proved they werent interested on a back flag cap. IE pushed more players to easy and kept a minimal needed at clinic as it wasnt doing much good having the number we had there.
Also noteworthy is that we started the game as per Tyger to fine tune and "not worrry about tickets"
We want to be in prem which is awesome and we can do it. But we need to be clear as to what then the point is that we want to achieve on a match like last night? If we go into the match saying we are going to lose and need to focus on form then we cant be angry/ irate when we do lose horribly?
We need to make the point and that is to win every single match PERIOD!
Nobody trains to lose?

I agree with getting a game in before our league games, we need to have had some serious jell time to get into the flow of things before we go into a game. I also feel that we should make game days Wednesdays so that we are focused due to pracs earlier on in the week.
Guys after watching the twitchtv feed of our game, in particular our first round of metro, I am more dissapointed that when we were playing... from their point of view we were like lost farts with no real plan to break out. Now I do feel that this is a leadership problem, in the sense that us grunts need to be given a game plan to exicute, and that game plan needs to be coordinated at the same time with both squads. I have noticed their is a stuborn reluctance from people to listen to Tyger and that is fucking bullshit! when Tyger says something you fucking do it and dont arb around and carry on doing what you think is best because then we become fragmented and picked off.
Secondly, bad energy and people bitching and moaning while we are playing does not help the situation for fuck all. Guys with any sport you have to be positive at all times. as soon as you start singling out someone in game their confidence takes a hit and that works against the entire team. This for me is a real big issue, we need to support and build confidence and not break people down. When ever we are on a high and positive we play 100x better, if we know this then why the fuck do we still do this?
Now plz give me feedback on this, but I feel that people dont know their roles to the tee. From my CS days we would allocate set roles for people to exicute when the leader would make a call, this means that everyone is contributing at the same time for the same goal and it acts as a power mulitplier. Now i know some people have been hesitant to adopt such an approach, and yes it is hard work and yes people will need to be spoon feed but in my eyes that is the only way we are gonna be able to step it up. I was watching some BvD metro games and this is exactly what they have done. we need to discuss how to go about this and get actual strats to implement in game instead of making shit up on the fly coz clearly that is not working for us.
Now fuckers, please know this is not targeted at individuals but towards the team debate... aside from Tyger coz he is a douche. :P
