3 match.
our worst match ever, did not ever gave you challenge.
I want to draw attention to point number 1. Zitrus, I'm very glad you caught it.
The whole point of the Dover is to be experimental and try to expand on the current meta. Everyone was questioning why they did what they did, why not? So it didn't work, this time (also their first competitive match which is really hard on teams). They had a good go. Both captains and their crews are fairly crazy and brilliant when it comes to figuring out ways to improve on ships and builds, they'll come up with something that'll work. I look forward to seeing them do so. We are definitely going to see more of this team.
Also Zitrus don't be so hard on yourself, it was a good game. Duel is a tough map. So your build didn't work, this time. You guys already made spires scary, at least I went in to the match nervous about the idea of a carronade spire and manticore spire working together. It wasn't until the end of the game neared that I was confident that we had the match. Those games, as we've seen, can turn around really expectantly. You actually almost flanked us half way through that match which would have been terrible for us. We got lucky because our engineer is hyper observant and managed to spot one of the spires from around the wreck on the side. Hell, in that final fight you took out one of our ships, and if we weren't able to finish off that wounded spire, you'd be set to circle around us and grind us into the dirt - which could have been the start of a comeback. It actually had the potential to go your way.
Great games all around today, it was a good Cogs. That second match was amazing. Despite their (extremely, extremely close) loss to the Gentlemen, a much more experienced team, the Brood are shaping up to be a powerhouse.
