Servers were just not nice at all. Had to play ~16 games to finish 5.

Game 1 [DESYNC, WIN]: Desynced fairly early, but I had the vamp+fractal combo so ready that even AI couldn't mess it up. 1-0.
Game 2 [LOSS]: Desynced a few times, the latest of which I thought I had a fairly easy win, but Acs had a messy desync so we played again. Drew 1 pend for most of the game, ended up being outrushed by 1 quanta (Needed 1 quanta to fractal a turn earlier ftw)
Game 3 [WIN]: Finally a clean game, fairly straightforward win. He had a slow draw and I set up quite quickly.
Game 4 [LOSS]: Decent draw, had a nice setup, was about to dump another ~3 Vamps onto the field which would probably have won, when suddenly a wild Deflag appeared. Had to waste quanta on another Eclipse which turned out to be the decider.
Game 5 [WIN]: Very close game. I had the best draw of the match, setting up within a few turns. However, he also got out a Golem+2 Graboids quite quickly. Vamps kept pouring out, but he managed to get me down under 10 HPs before I stole his desperation Fog ftw.

Extremely lucky with Eclipses. They showed up exactly when I was ready to Fractal several times, and I never wanted for them. Even in the lone game Acs' deflag appeared, the other one was right there to be topdecked (unfortunately the quanta wasn't free :/)

This is not our free substitution.

GGs, and I'm sorry it went like this

Insert loads of desynchs and "cannot connect to the server"s between the first 3 games. We started like 12-15 games until we could finish these 5.

Game 1: Desynch, and we played it out vs. the AI. I lost he won. 0-1
Game2: Desynch again, played out again. I won he lost. 1-1
Game3: First game we could finish properly. He won. 1-2
Game 4: From this game on, the connections seemed to be much better. Clean game. Only game I drew the deflag. I used it to kill the eclipse and I won. 2-2
Game5: I had a good hand but kept drawing pillars. Got outhealed barely. 2-3

Although this was technically a sub, we agreed with the WMs that the winner would get full salvage.

EDIT Only 2 Eclipses? Holy smokes, you managed to play one early in every duel! wish I had such luck with my deflag..

I love vamptall but i love lava golem-graboid rush more. I can't shake the feeling that MPs are waste in this tho.

[Rutarete]

Yay for Vamptal!

[Vangelios]

you depended on luck more than ever, did what he could and played well Acsabi
But are 5 losses of 3-2 in 9 matches! for us

[Avenger]

Yay for Vamptal!

vamptals unite!

[deuce22]

Isn't the first sub free anyways? Unless I missed a previous sub by darkness...

[rob77dp]

Yay for Vamptal!

vamptals unite!

Be glad you're playing with Fire. If you had been, say.. Gravy, they'd mostly be 3-0 and 3-1 losses :>

So, does darkness still get a salvage? Thought I read a comment the WMs are allowing it. If so, clarification please. Thanks.

[bogtro]

Fire and Darkness agreed (with WM consent) that whoever ended up subbing this match, due to it being a no-fault situation, would still be entitled to salvage (note that the opposing team gets to choose the salvage, which in this case means that Fire chooses we salvage 6 cards).

[deuce22]

makes sense.

carry on.

nothing to see here.
