You know what I hate? Steel Jaguars being the only team we consistently lose to. Good job guys, you all rock.

Btw, noticed in your start up chat about the change to mid-cave near side ramp. There IS a way up the near side to mid tunnel but there is a trick to it - you have to face into the cliff side, there is an invisible ramp of sorts there.

Haha yeah, I said "K" but went up the front side anyway because I knew I still could. :3

That couldn't have been 8 v 8, all the mechs weren't DDCs and 3Ls. /s

Seriously though, people really underestimate the variety you can find in 8 mans. Nice vid.

That's what happens when one team tunnel rushes and the other team responds appropriately.

Short matches are frequently common with a brawl deck.

Lol... valid point... but it was a RHOD League drop, so the dropdec was pre-set. This one was 1-2-3-2 (I said 2 Atlases in the vid because I derped and forgot the dec.)

Brawls can be so very close sometimes. DRAAGUN is a challenging opponent, you can see how hairy this brawl got at points. I wasn't sure we were going to make it until the tipping point came when their Catapults dropped.

Must tip my hat to DRAAGUN.

That was a RHOD tournament drop. The drop deck is specified in advance of the match even being set. Both teams have to drop the specified weight classes or the drop is a forfeit by the team who disregards it. That's why you see so much diversity in that drop, and I suspect that's also why you still see diversity in 8 mans in general. People have to practice their drop decks or they'll lose in tourny fights, even if that means they drop way out tonned.

Dropping out tonned is good practice in general it forces a team to get there target priorities straight and hones there focus fire skills.

Hope this serves as a good example of what the competition teams do in Run Hot or Die, and demonstrates the watchability of MWO. These matches are exciting and interesting, and the more videos the competitive teams release the more interest we can hopefully garner in the community for the league culture that so many of us want to cultivate. <_<

TheMagician is considering doing some casting over a few of our previous unreleased RHOD match videos after the RHOD Playoffs are done, so do let us know if you'd be interested in seeing that.

Would definitely be interested. Unfortunately Templars are not allowed to post videos.. sigh. I doubt I can get this rule changed but I will see what can be done.
