Our first clan match with the notorious Praetoria Guard and some nifty crumbs.
It was definitely a memorable match, especially for our first ever clan challenge. We were very grateful and honored to be matched against the titans of Praetoria Guard. To put it in simple terms, it was epic stuff.
The Heroes
The 508th
LT1 = Overlord and part-time nubcake
Achronaut = "Recon prizes?"
Flamingwindz = That other dude
Kevin = Clan cookie monster
The Challenged Praetoria
Odysseus = Recreational nub pwning planner
XSL = Can't spell excel
Duffeh D = Lord knows what that D stands for...
One Eyed Fool = Surprisingly has good vision
First hour was devoted to pure competitive game types. First to three get to go home the winners of the night.
Game One: Team Slayer on Guardian
To tell you the truth, it took us a long time to get our game face on for our first round. By the time we did get there, our game faces were full of tears when Praetoria scored the final kill.
We came to a realization that Praetoria was a force to be reckoned with...
Final Score: Praetoria, 50; 508th, 29
Game Two: Team Slayer on "Hang 'Em High" Foundry
Although we won this match, it was a shame to have played on this map. We all blame Achronaut for choosing such a disturbing rendition of a Halo classic...
Final Score: 508th, 50; Praetoria, 38
Game Three: CTF on the Pit
To put it in simple terms: We. Got. Owned.
Not only was Praetoria so coordinated in their offenses, they made certain that their flag did not move a single inch from their domain. It was like shooting fish in a barrel for them...
Final Score: Praetoria, 3; 508th, 0
Game Four: CTF on High Ground
This was probably the most epic game. BR firefights, beat downs to the death, and rockets whizzing over heads. After a rallying coordinated offense, the 508th brought the flag home and secured the victory with impenetrable defense. After the dust settled, the titans of Praetoria were no longer standing.
Final Score: 508th, 1; Praetoria: 0
Game Five-Winning Game: MLG Team Slayer on Narrows
This was a pretty intense game as well. At first, it seemed like a stalemate over who controlled the center of the bridge, then Praetoria was able to break our ranks and push us back. However, we were able to reorganize and push the Praetoria back to their side of the bridge but it wasn't enough, most of the damage had been done with their established lead. Praetoria struck down the last of our kind and officially won the clan showdown. The war had finally finished.
Final Score: Praetoria, 50; 508th, 26.
Final Tally:
Praetoria-3, 508th-2
Praetoria had defeated the 508th.
After such heart pounding action, we then went to some simple Matchmaking and enjoyed Social Big Team with the random noobs and occasional loud mouths.
We at clan 508th-Brigade and Dispatch Films would like to thank Praetoria Guard for all they do for the community and for such a great and memorable clan match. Keep on fighting the fight!
This update wouldn't be complete without some newsworthy bits.
