[Aether in Aetherium] 2 - 1 [2 Heroes and 1 Baron]

[Blacksmith]

I tried to schedule my match with Vang on the 3rd of July, but he had problems with his connection and wanted Blacksmith to do his match with deuce first. On the 5th Blacksmith replied to me saying he wouldn't be very active for the next 10 days and suggested Afda played his match to put some pressure on Vang. 1h30m later I replied to Blacksmith that Afda had already lost several days ago. He has yet to reply to that.

I find myself again wishing for actual deadlines that matter. They were in place exactly for situations like these. When 2/3rd's of a team can't play, they should just be disqualified.

Agreed that deadlines should be taken mroe seriously.

Okay I now fixed flash problem and internet works fine as well. I'm able to play my game when deuce shows up. The problem is that I sent a pm to deuce over a week ago and he hasn't replied yet. He said to me in chat he would be most active during weekends so thats what I hope for.

And doubble sub won't be necesary.

[Vangelios]

I Believe that the sub can happen (instead of self disqualification) , I'm having problems with time now, I don't have more than 2 hours to ETG, I really hope to see Blacksmith playing before me.

[deuce22]

I'm still alive, but activity is very limited. Will do my best to get online this weekend

[Higurashi]

Higurashi 2-3 Vangelios

Expected a Firebolt deck.

He said he'd surprise me, so I assumed Luci deck. Got it right, but couldn't draw a Psion until several turns too late.

L2 vs Monoearth EQ

Expected EQ's, so ran this for a rush and Fractal finisher. Terrible draws; got 1 Recluse, tons of but not enough quanta for Fractal.

L3 vs Monoearth EQ:

Expected an EQ deck, but was afraid he'd finally run a Fire Shield, so I went with Dragontal. Ended up having to go for the deckout, but lost with 4 turns left. Should've gone with my guts and RoL/Hope. RNG giveth and taketh away.

ggs Vang. Perhaps we can have a rematch where you've prepared decks beforehand.

Vangelios 3 - 2 Higurashi

this time I was afraid of Hol hope, and it was exactly what Higurashi uses, the only chance would be if a key-card was in the bottom of the deck , but no, I lost again.

Round 3 Won Fire Hope

the predictions Higurashi shook me, and I was terribly insecure, and we decided to risk it with this, after all looks beat some decks of aether, and it beat.

Round 4 Won Pulvyquake

ventured again, I had a good hand, cointoss and better luck, I was always afraid of hol-hope

This was the hardest duel I had and I won by luck, anyway I think it was 50%, Thanks Higurashi you is a really nice player
And Baron the heroes have hope in you, Deuce  have fract-phoenix and UG nymphs, but he can do something different
caution and good luck. and I'm still undefeated in Tpvp 2 season without losing, yesss 8)

[Vangelios]

ggs Vang. Perhaps we can have a rematch where you've prepared decks beforehand.

actually I prepared all these decks before, tried to innovate with the team but in the end just waiting for the RNG do the job
 I think better now, should have used this

since HP did not fail when I won with pulveriquake, however SS  save me in round 3 vs Submachine.

But now just to clarify, even if deuce is defeated in Etherium are already in the final right?

[hainkarga]

But now just to clarify, even if deuce is defeated in Etherium are already in the final right?

Each team has two lives. We would be losing one of them. Much better for us if deuce wins.

[Vangelios]

Yes as imagined, and for us more once remains only win or win, as usual after round 1.
well, if we beat Deuce, Cuninja will be our next opponent (because Aetherium receive a bye), and if we win again go vs Aetherium in final, Much better for us if the team beat all.

[deuce22]

deuce22 3-1 Blacksmith (sub afda)

Blacksmith and I had a hell of a time trying to find each other. I've been largely unavailable the last several weeks, then blacksmith was gone all this weekend. Afda graciously stepped up so that we could finish this round.

Game 1 - Win (Afda had illegal deck)

I was countered, but RNG gave deuce a one quanta start which made it far from close. Kinda funny ending up with more phoenix that fractix.

vs Nymph Rush
I lost toss so deuce got the first nymph out, forcing me to play OE despite the risk of deflag - happily he didn't have one. We desynced soon after. AI decided to rage pot it's own nymph - thanks to that I beat it. Gave the win to deuce as he would have won that without the desync.

Sorry, team - 2 losses in one round for me was bad. Was fun to play with you.

Gratz to Aether in Aetherium, hope you guys can go all the way. Thanks for playing it out instead of taking an activity win.

[Vangelios]

I  also can not help in the water skill in the last moment, I thought that Baron appear  or had some magical deck in titanpad.
Again kicked by team of deuce   in Aetherium Congratz well at least was balanced round, And you deserve the victory
also at least I'm undefeated in Tpvp and really enjoyed the last victory that I had , it serves me personal comfort.

Ahh team, win or lose I like to be among you,  all the best to you guys.

[hainkarga]

Thanks 2 Heroes and 1 Baron for the great matches. You had a great run and made our whole team labor and scheme a lot. Afda's match took all three of us sync in team chat and fight together. Also good job on your undefeated status Vangelios, we may fight together in the same team in next tpvp or in war.
