There was willng3, watching the second match, watching hope slip away. Losing was inevitable after a certain point and as expected, Life did lose.
But then willng3 attempted to remain optimistic, "Alright now this is where we turn the entire match up around and kill off a perfect counter against all odds!" he cried.
However, when the gods of fate heard that willng3's dreams had not been completely crushed already, they were displeased, "Who the hell's been telling this guy that miracles actually exist?"
And so it was that Noobiecakes drew 0 Pillars/Pendulums during his third game.
In all seriousness, if this kind of bad luck were to happen anywhere I would have preferred it be against a direct counter. Good try Noobie, my fault for not following through with my first instinct.
