Ummm... dude? C'mon dude, the comment was said in jest. Sheesh... some of you take this way, way too seriously. I really don't care if I lose tonight - obviously, I expect to.

Reality check: I got to where I am in the Cup through luck. Regardless of whether I "man up" (note: I despise attaching real life metaphors to an online game) or not, I am going to lose this game. Sure, if I run my best team out there and there might be a what... less than 1% chance of me winning it? What's the point in that?
I - from my yes-albeit-I'm-a-noob point of view - am better off just enjoying where I got to in the Cup, playing this game as if it were a scrimmage, and go about my business in my league.

OH but to clarify I do think perhaps Malice overreacted. I doubt it was tongue in cheek. Alhtough a bit condescending Swoosh was just trying to be nice.

Covering bases there Wolph?
I'm not calling anyone, on anything... unless it's specifically directed to me. Then don't expect me to bob my head at platitudes.

I do think he was being at least a bit t-i-c.
Anyway, not sure how I overreacted. Simply being a realist. I disagreed with Swoosh is all, and in all honesty the BEST thing for my squad is to get about moving on post-cup.
STOKED I got as far as I did... really happy with it. Would've liked a few 'real' wins, but hey: I'll take what I can get!

I think the point he was trying to make was, Don't blow your team up for one cup game. All of us have been smacked out of the cup in the early rounds before. I also think the Man up comment was more are less, Give it a go...I don't know what the hell Wolph was talking about Big Brother but I re-read his post and didn't find anything rude in it...That is my honest opinion.

Wow....Sharman going to Swoosh....this is going to be good.
My game is a so-so..I won't be overlooking fumoffu platoon...His team is for real.
zenigata gangs vs. FCB could be a real good game...If FCB plays him for real then FCB is in the Final 4 but if he does that TIE training games...then we could be looking at an upset..
Kuzu is still around...not enough time for him to fix his GS's...could be easy pickings in the Final 4....

Morning all,
Sorry - bit quiet this week, I was in Manila for a couple of days (most of which stuck in traffic or torrential rain leading to subsequent brown-outs).

Well I didn't expect to win my BB3 game.. that was a surprise.... i also didn't expect to stay so close to Uchicha on Tues... I had that down as a loss but looking at the fact that Chang got 22 mins.. maybe that could've ended different. Didn't expect Swoosh to smash Stunners... had I known that he'd inflict that sort of punishment I wouldn't have had to CT him on the Saturday!!

Anyway, onwards and upwards... I see that I have another away draw in the cup... worse still the best team outside myself still left in.... worse still the only other team this week that has STO - so yes there will be fireworks and I guess the remaining 6 teams are really licking their lips now and would fancy picking either of us off in the semi's.
