Cirque D'Fire/Our First Practice
The past month and a half has been pretty event-filled for the Spirits. We had our second clan challenge against the Cirque D’Geezers in late June, and since we both got along so well, we went out on a second date… er I mean we got together for a mixer just last weekend.
SoF vs. CDG
Our challenge with the Geezers was a standard 6v6, 5-game series match. The Cirques, an experienced clan with many challenges under their belt, easily won with 3 straight victories. Even though it was not the outcome we hoped for, we tipped our hats to our opponents after the first 3 games, and for the last 2, we mixed up the teams and just had some fun. In the end, we made some great friends with a wonderful group of players. Click here for the full play by play of the SoF vs. CDG clan match.
Cirque D’FIRE
Last Sunday, we met up with the Cirques once more and hopped into Big Team Battle together. The festivities began around 9pm EST and lasted long into the night. Our very first match we were matched up against Halo 3 Wheelmen on Standoff. Since the Warthog can easily dominate on Standoff if you don’t control the power weapons, the Wheelmen went to town on us with their driving and gunning skills. After a rough first game the rest of the night was much more enjoyable, complete with only TWO bomb games (definitely not three at all) and a rendezvous with Duardo and some other B.net mods. Once again the Cirques treated us to a wonderful night of gaming, and, to quote RevDotNed, “ya’ll are fun to shoot people in the face with.”
Our First Practice
After our two epic defeats, we decided maybe we need some practice. Even professionals practice from time to time. Just last night, about 8 of us got together and played Big Team, focusing on communication, strategy, and teamwork. Spirits of Fire practices will become a bi-monthly event, occurring on the second and last Friday of every month.
That’s all for now. More news to come soon as we are currently voting on new members.
A second date. LOL.
I think we decided to be just friends…
