Last night the Hardcore Team had a scrimmage with the LRSD Alpha squad (Well not the whole Alpha squad). The Hardcore team was riding this huge wave of momentum (5-0 in Game Battles) and wanted to challenge the Alpha Team in a friendly hardcore match. IX P XI and DarkNights wanted to show the Alpha Team that they can’t be stopped in hardcore but the match didn’t go as they planned.

The scrimmage was a hardcore search and destroy match something Alpha Team doesn’t practice very often, if at all. The Alpha Team brought some of their superstars in for this one. They really wanted to test the hardcore team and see what all this “Darkside” hype was all about.

GymboSlice, Mad Dog, Jeffrosaw and Takedownspecial (What We Like to Call the Fab Four) were all participating in the scrimmage. When these four step on the battlefield together the other team is usually in for a beating. RDawg joined them as the fifth member of the team. The Alpha Team wanted to find out what the “DarkSide” was all about.

The Hardcore team brought some of their best players but it just wasn’t enough.

Round One started with the Alpha Team securing the first victory of the match. The Hardcore Team was not phased as they came right back and won the next two rounds and took the lead over Alpha Team 2-1.

GymboSlice said “Don’t worry the game has just begun.”

Next thing you know the Hardcore Team was rocked and the Alpha Team easily took the next 3 games too locked up a 4-2 victory. Those 3 rounds the Alpha Team dismantled the “Darkside” and showed them the light. The DSRL learned a major lesson during the battle and that was not to underestimate anyone especially the LRSD Alpha Squad.

Mad Dog built the LRSD and the Alpha Team so of course they are good at everything, even hardcore. Mad Dog said “I just wanted to put IX P XI and the Darkside in their place. Hopefully my sniper bullet to IX P XI’s head sent the message loud and clear. The Alpha Team has been through millions of battles together and I knew the Hardcore team just didn’t have that kind of experience yet. The Darkside obviously needs more training. A couple lessons from Mad Dog might be in order.”

Their leader DarkNightsCon was shocked and speechless. IX P XI was frustrated and a little banged up from the fight. The Alpha Team had just put the Hardcore Teams ego in check.

When asked if the Hardcore Team wanted a rematch they all declined and came random excuses not face the Alpha Team again.

Frito said “I got homework to do.” (Ain’t School out till next year Rookie)

IX P XI said “I fractured my trigger finger in the battle and have to go put ice on my hand.” (Hey that’s what happens when you shoot at air)

DarkNights said “Wendy’s just called me I gotta pick up my food.” (Since when can you call your order into Wendy’s)

Paco said “I gotta go check the oil in my car it was running a little low.”

Someone even said their brother sprayed them with Lysol during the game thats why he didn’t perform as well. Every excuse in the book was thrown at the Alpha Team so they left with the victory and went back to training.

I’m sure the two squads will scrimmage a million more times in the future.

Nards Halo Cry

It was last night i was playing some S&d with Feccy J, Mad Dog, Diaperdandy and StarNards we were all doing great winning as usual than at 12:00 a.m we hear “Back out, Back out” so the 5 of us backed out. We all asked Nards why did we back out? Nards replied ” I dont wanna play cod4 now i wanna play H3″ Mad Dog was shocked after giving Nards another shot on the team he decides to just leave after playing only 4 games with the team. I thought him leaving the team to play H3 was bad, but he even tried to take Feccy with him. Mad Dog tried to talk to him to see what was bothering Nards, but all he got was ” I dont know Mad Dog , Maybe I’m Shy”. If Nards cant take the LRSD seriously he should not be able to play, I think he should have a 10 day suspension and if he does not change it should lead to permanent bann.

Maybe I am wrong post comments and lets hear how you feel on the situation.

Camping

Camping is a major issue in gaming nowadays so its either you hate it or love it. Camping is not bad, it is a very helpful strategy that works well in many game types. Team camping can be very successful and will lead you to many victories. Finding a spot to camp can either be very easy or pretty difficult. It all depends on the game type and how you set up your position. Having each soldier guard a certain part of the map will protect a lot of people from dying and making a rookie mistakes. Gaming is very competitive and some gamers look down on others who camp, but in reality it is destroying their moral and leading them to play poorly. Keeping your position locked down is very important. You can not leave any openings because if you do that can lead to a teammates death or possibly your own. Figure out who controls what spot the best and it will help strengthen your position. So just remember Camping is just another word for “Holding Positon”.

As some of you may know, the Hardcore Division headed by lx P xl and Dark Nights Con played a handful of ranked games over the weekend. After playing a final set around 9 P.M. CST, they officially became 5-0. They plan to keep up the streak through the week if possible, as long as lx P xI picks his game up. This 1-6 kill/death ratio is definitely not cutting it. He may have some prestige with some of the clan members, but others are complaining (names are disclosed).

The final question is, will lx P xl become helpful or will he continue the downward spiral that is his COD4 career? When we were able to corner Dark Nights Con, this is what he said:

Media: “Dark, comments about lx Pxl’s playing skills?”

Dark: “Not really. He has his up’s and down’s.”

Media: “Will he be replaced if things aren’t corrected?”

Dark: “I might replace him for the fact that he is leaving for 2 weeks on Thursday.”

Media: “So you are saying he will be replaced then?”

Dark: ” NO COMMENT!”

So is this the end for lx P xl, or will he be the man everyone thinks of him as? Look to this week to find out and as Dark Nights Con says “Keep your head down kids.”

:Serious Note: Dark and P would like to thank the clan and contributors for their hard work this weekend and are excited with the turn of events. Keep up the hard work.

Sad LRSD

Cevo is a big thing in the gaming industry and not having pure success in the first bracket might lead to a terrible downfall. The first match never happened, we got the win because the other team never showed. second game was tough but we thought we had it all planned out. WRONG!! We practiced and practiced but we never had the full team on when we did.

So the first game was Domination we knew it was going to be tough but we thought as a team we could pull through. We ended up losing the domination game but we still held our heads high. The second game was Search and Destroy we thought we would win this for sure. The other team won the 1st round but we pulled through second round and it was tied (1-1) round wise. They then won 2 more rounds. So the score was 3-1.

We were on defense and we starting talking more. Communication for the team improved throughout the games but we all ended up dying except DiaperDandy. Diaper pulls through with a major clutch victory and the game is now 3-2.

Next round Starnards dies from an RPG right at the spawn. Diaperdandy was killed some how in battle. Feccy j and I were they only ones left. It was a 3 on 2 situation. Feccy Goes down by M16! I was the sole survivor. With only a minute left I killed 2 guys and grabbed the bomb with only 30 seconds left. I had to make a run for it all the way across the map.

On my way to the bomb site I get clipped but I was still alive. I plant the bomb but was killed shortly after. With no one left the lone member on the other team defuses the bomb for the win.

Anonymous source said after the loss “It was tough loss to take knowing one of my teammates was a major reason why we lost. He really let the team down. A change in the roster looks like the only solution. We sat down after the loss and had a big team meeting and tried to resolve the problem right way. No change has been made but hopefully one is on the way.”
