Make up excuses all you want, I guess you can't be gentlemanlike about this, what a shame.
That statement was true, though i guess ignorance is bliss?
Also, you did have some NA players so the whole "we all had 150 ping and did better" isn't true. As i said, the chaos guys were quite deadly doing nearly 1/8 of our tickets. So don't try and give me that bs. You had some(very skilled) na players to rely on.
I haven't once said that I didn't like the fight nor take it badly. Go ahead and put words in my mouth. I just stated the facts. We were under equipped, and (towards the end there) i caught one guy who was just hiding in the haystack. Not all the mercs showed up(though i noticed the risen missing the full list as well, that's just a problem on strat and commanders do their best to have a full roster)
We also had members getting disconnected on our side. I heard that from about 4 different people so there's no way that's not a coincidence. Perhaps the large army(and the large amount of spectators) created unnecessary lag? I can't say for sure, but I had quite a few people complain about getting DCed.
