I've been playing CW for a while now... Had a rare close game a couple of hours ago.

Emerald Taiga, we clan ghost bear pugs were defending against FRR with an 8 man team on their side.

The battle came to a 3v3 brawl at the last minute right on top of omega... the enemy had 1 grasshopper 1 Victor and 1 stalker... we had 2 stormcrows and somethingelse.

it was an EPIC battle right at the end with 6 mechs brawling around our MFB

O7 to 1CR unit for this great fight.

I had a game yesterday when we were defending a counterattack on the new Vitric map. We literally ran out of mechs, but the enemy ran out of time. (Omega intact).

Why are all these stories about clan pugs vs organized IS teams?

ARe there close victory stories like this with IS pugs vs 12 man premade clan teams?

I had a similar game on Friday, except backwards. Clan PUG attacking IS PUG... we had 3 Mechs at the end while they had 1 (I think... might have been 2) and we killed Omega with 20 seconds remaining.

Best match ever for me was clan pug v IS pug. We were defending counter on grim. Match ended on time out with Omega down to about 10 percent with our mechs all destroyed and IS having two mechs left and us wining! An outstanding match.

I love close matches, win or lose.

Latest one during the Invasion event, we had a mixed-up team of Smoke Jaguars attacking vs a determined IS PUG defence on Boreal Vault. We were losing the attrition so we went for a mobile assault to try to get the gens down. We succeeded, and even got Omega down to a fraction before we were beaten back. But we were down to our last Mechs, and outnumbered.

Once more into the breach! Once we were past the gates I broke from the rest of the group. My team mates engaged the defenders of Omega in a suicidal flank attack, while I snuck in from another angle (up the centre) in my Stormcrow Prime. The problem is that there were still several turrets up. I was spotted, and several Ravens & Firestarters converged on my position as the enemy desperately maneuvered to stop my advance.

I took damage in the way in, then got ONE salvo off at Omega. That did not quite take it down. Before I could fire again, both my arms were shot off! With one head-mounted ER Medium laser left I fired once more at the Generator. It died!

Victory from the very jaws of defeat.

We had to defend...

Just had a game yesterday when we killed Omega almost right on the buzzer! The IS team put a surprisingly strong resistance on Sulpherous Rift, and it took a shift in strategy, changing the assault from Alpha to Gamma to make it happen.

[Vellron2005]

My best ever- CW match happend during the battle of Tukayyid.. I played as a Clan Wolf cadet, the final battle was Invasion-attack, fought on Sulphurous Rift, and it was the final drop before the end of the event. It felt like it was going to be close weather the clans win or lose, so the pressure was on.

All through the battle, we were struggling, it was really difficult and a challenge the whole time.. So we were hiting our marks, getting our points.. and taking down generators..

With less than a minute left on the clock, Omega was still up.. I was in a Myst Lynx, running and hiding, hoping to reach omega.. When I reached it, I was legged, cored, and had only 2xERML left.. There was 2 or 3 mechs there with me, and most of the last enemy drop - 8+ mechs surrounding omega.

We fired at it, and with less than 30 seconds on the clock, I went down.. and my last laser shot took down omega.

I killed it with my dying breath! Litterally!

AWESOME!

Best feeling ever... SOOOO proud to mount my Tukayyid Victory banners..

I was in a game once with a semi-coordinated group against an IS 12-man. It came to a point where it was like 42-45 and we had 1:45 to run to their base and get enough kills to pull ahead.

[-Vompo-]

Closest game I've had was against a clan premade (if I remember correctly). We were losing on kills but we got omega with 8 seconds remaining.

[DaisuSaikoro Nagasawa]

We had a match on Grim Portico where we were all killed out but the last mech on the other team, a stalker, only had 1 laser left and like 40 something seconds to get omega. We watched with held breath as the stalker was not able to finish omega even though it had killed our last mech.

Epic match and probably the closest I've been in (apart from this last second counter attack match where the opposing team got omega, but we managed to tie the match at the last second)

[Zfailboat]

yeah, had one on Grim Portico last night.

IS was defending, we had 4 mechs left (1 stripped and on 1 leg) Clan was attacking with 6.

3 minutes to go clans still needed 2 gens + omega.

they got the 2 gens, but couldn't take omega in time - ended up 47 - 43 at the buzzer. was mostly pugs again (1 3 man on each side)

Notice the common theme however.

Closest matches = pugs on pugs. perhaps PGI should take a hint.

I've been beaten by pugs while in a full 12man at least 4 times.

[Connor Sellock]

With one second remaining on the match clock, our last Mech, a Locust managed to destroy Omega.

This one happened a while back, so the details are fuzzy, but the upshot was we were attacking on Sulphurous and the entire match had been a grind and was very even. Each team had about 40-ish kills and the clock was about to expire.

We made a final push to Omega and were still shooting with Omega down to a sliver when the clock ran out. Neither team was sure what happened. We were on TS asking "did we get it?" to each other. Only the music gave it away - we had killed Omega and won literally as time expired.
