Dear dunc,

Love,

The Brigade

A while ago we were the host of  a ‘pros vs pubbers’ match, today there was another one.

This time the pubbers won! You can get the STV demo’s here

Thanks to Jojipo on the Steam forums, here are the recordings of the Mumble shoutcast, recorded in OGG format, get Winamp if you can’t play OGG files already.

Our server got quite busy with serving the match, the STVs and the Mumble shoutcast

CPU load

Network traffic

Surprisingly, Dignitas won the Assembly Winter LAN. Who would have guessed?

For some reason Exfane joined a shoutcast hosted on our Mumble to provide his *cough* EXPERT *cough* commentary, helped by his superiour gamesense.

Being a masochist, I decided to record the shoutcast so you can get the full enjoyment of watching two great matches (semi-final and final), while simultaneously listening to Mr. Rage interrupting the excellent Arx.

Now that i have your attention with this enthralling title, we did take over Dignitas, however we did take over for Dignitas, in a onlinecup hosted by Esports Heaven.

There was a lot of confusion going over mumble, on what was supposed to happen. Exfane kept saying he signed us up for the ETF2L 5th, while Arie said it was the One night wonder III cup. Mirelin as usual kept talking to his only friend in this world, his amazing parrot. Fisshu is stoned as always and kept saying “take it easy mate, its the TF2 Razer Cup: The Moray Menace”. Looper was to busy with his forklift training course, making him coming into mumble late. Dr.LeoN couldn’t care less, and was playing a flash based rpg game.

Around 20:00 CET, we did however find out we where playing instead of Dignitas, since they obviously don’t care about a tiny Mickey Mouse cup. Our first opponents was -=Crazy=-, brilliant clan name I might add. While connecting to the server, Dr.LeoN got a classic BSOD. So “Diggybrigade” had to play the badlands with five men. When Dr.LeoN finally came back, the match was already finished, filled up with rage, he 1v1′ed Arie and got his ass handed to him.

Second match was against Rage Quit, another well thought-trough nickname by our comrades from the east. The map this time was cp_well. It was another easy victory for FB, after just 14 minutes, it was already over, with another 5-0 win. You might say they “clan-named”. Well well (pun intended), they didn’t actually rage quit, but did get their ass handed to them pretty rough, taken into account that cp_well has a 1 minute start up time. We did beat them in 9 minutes.

Third map, against the newly-formed team; Broder, or 7 brothers who aren’t brothers for those of you that are gay (Fisshu, seriously, 7BWAB?!?!?). This time the map was gravlepit. With Fakkelbrigades awesome(…) attacking skills on this map, versus Tordens brilliant sense of tactics, it could only go one way, straight north.

Man of the match: Berserkers awesome tactic, by restarting his computer right before the game, and making us wait for approximately 20-30 minutes. We could only play one round of gravlepit, since Looper needs to crash his car at 10 mph, and drive around with a forklift at work. Because of this, we had to reschedule the two last rounds of gravlepit. This was decided by a heavy weight boxing match FFA style. Fakkelbrigade won, since we are a bunch of awesome pub players.

The last instalment of this match will take place on Tuesday the 26th, at 19:00 CET, if I’m not mistaken

Some FB heroes owned a pub and supplied screenshots to prove it.

What a great victory for the mighty FakkelBrigade! You make me proud!
