Ashira Velvet, Void and Magic
Dark Elf
1:2 1:2 9:1 lost
I made a crucial strategic mistake right at the beginning of the game, one I should have known better than to make, especially since I’ve played Dark Elves a lot myself. I chose to receive the ball first. The rationale behind it was that I wanted to send some Elves into the Dugout. However, I should have realized that this would give the Elves two offensive drives — one in the first half, after I scored, and another in the second half. It is very hard to stop Dark Elves from scoring, so after this bad decision, I could only hope for a draw. Unfortunately, I couldn't stall long enough in the first half to deny the Elves an offensive drive, and I couldn't stop them from scoring. The same thing happened in the second half. I also couldn't take out enough Elves to make a difference. I only managed to take out one, who died, so I gained a new Zombie player. The game itself dragged on a bit, so we had to rush to finish on time.

Game 2:

Opponent Team TD CAS Fuck You Nuffle Result
Da_Git Alsdorf Souperiors
Halfling
3:1 1:0 6:6 lost
This game started on a sour note for me. The Halfling Chef took two of my three rerolls, leaving my opponent with seven (!), so there was no hope of causing a turnover. The same thing happened in the second drive. He fielded Siggi the Zug as a star player, giving him a lot of punching power alongside his two Treemen. Over the course of the game, I lost more players than he did, even though I had two Tackle Blitzers and he only had armor 7+. I made an early mistake by placing one Blitzer too close to the pitch border, and he got surfed—only a K.O., but he didn't come back until drive three.

In the first half, all was not lost; I managed to blitz the ball carrier twice with comfortable two-die blocks and Tackle (at least once), but only got push results. With essentially no rerolls, that was the end of it. He used all his rerolls in both halves (14 rerolls!), while I suffered a lot of turnovers due to Mummy blocks. Overall, it was not a good game for me.

Game 3:

hatecore Headhunter
Orc
1:2 1:2 9:6 lost
By this point in the tournament, all was already lost—for both me and my opponent—so the game was really laid-back. Despite that, there were still a few exciting moments. Near the end of the second half, I managed to knock down his Troll and fouled him with seven supports. It was an easy armor break, but he only ended up stunned. By the way, he didn't roll a one for his Really Stupid/Bonehead trait the entire game! He also got lucky another time: In the second half, he made the mistake of placing some of his Orcs aggressively on one sideline. Through multiple pushes, I managed to shove a Blitzer into the crowd. The next turn, I tried to push another Big 'Un into the crowd at the same spot with my Ghoul Runner. I rolled a one-die block and got a Skull, rerolled it, and got another Skull. That's one lucky Big 'Un!
