Final match and final tests

Hello everyone.

Didn't write at the blog for some time now. But I'm gonna tell you we are still alive! As you saw LiilD.C won EPS sca after a really tough final vs dowaq which ended up 3-2 to liil. We will also upload some videos from the event. Some interviews and other great stuff. If you guys want we could make a replaypack from the event for the ones who didn't see the games.

I still been busy with my driverlicense, still studying and practice for it. I got my finals tests this and the next week. So hopefully I can have it soon :D We also got the most important match in whole WC3L this week against old team wicked, now they are called BIN I think. It's the playdown match which means the team who wins this game are done for the next WC3L season so its a really important one. But we will be well prepared for this match so I know we can win it!

And if you wonder about my account in season7 I was playing under the nick dandarula) . Many thought I was attax dark or sting. But it was actully me playing :D Here are some pictures from the lan event at inferno online!

Hey ho

Hey folks!

Yesterday we played against WE and didn't end up that good. We lost the clanwar with a 0:5.. Now we have to take some some points from wicked and SK to be sure for wc3l playdowns. I was pretty happy when I saw they used like and ted. Because my best match ups are against orc and undead. My first bo3 was against TeD with startmap TR. I had a good early game and thought the game was really good. I scouted his banshees a bit too late and that made me lose the game. If I would've scouted it earlier I would play wyvers instead of my kodo/hh combo. I choose EI as a second map becuase I trained it a lot and I feel really secure on this map vs every race. He tried the same with banshees. But this time I thought of an counter to his mass banshees. I played bm tc and mass wyvers. I had good scout on him and managed to get 70 pop before the fight and got really good position the last fight so he got smacked. Last map TM.. I like TM a lot too vs undead. I dont lose often at this map. And I thought I was winning, I played really good early game, had lvl 3 blademaster vs lvl 1 dk at one time of the game. But then.. I did something REALLY stupid!!!! . .. . I took fight without my orb and not even 50 pop. TeD already got his orb and third hero out. Damn why did I do this? maybe because I was so hungry for kill after I killed his 2 ghouls coming to his army. I also had vampaura which makes more effect the bigger army you have.. This was the time I lost the game. But at least I learned from it.

My second bo3 against Like on EI. As I told earlier its a map I like a lot and train it often. I was doing good in the early game and managed to kill 2 grunts while he killed none. I managed to creep my bm to level 3 which makes it so easy to scout. So when my SH was out I creepjacked him at the uppershop. Bam sh down and 2 grunts. After that I just keep killing units and game was over.

Game 2 was at TM.. also a map I like in mirror. I was playing pretty sloppy this game and missed that I scouted him which made me lose some time in early.. And when my SH was out I couldnt find him. I normally try to stab when I get my sh out.. but I couldnt find him! And then he came from nowhere when I was creeping close to his base. He got peons and a scroll I had none of it. He won the game here.

Last map MV. Was pretty the same as TM.. The last fight he played better than me and won.

Next match vs Wicked on friday!! Don't forget that guys. AND dont forget this Saturday 11:00 I will be casting together with endarspire the EPS Finals from Stockholm in ESL TV! ! ! Cheers for liildc! I'm sure he will win!

NGL vs Sky

Hey folks today I had very good feeling when I woke up. I was well prepared for my match against sky and I went into it confident to win it. Im very stable and confident in the elf vs human matchup atm(warden abuse wooohooo) so I thought I was going to be able to defeat sky today. At 16:00 we started vetoing maps, what surprised me was that he vetoed SV which made me happy :) The three maps was going to be TS TM EI, I like them all vs human.

First off was TS and I knew he was going to expand so I made 2 aows and mass tier1 with warden. This is absolutely the best anti FE strat imo. When warden hits level 3 while there's no towers(guard towers) at his expansion I feel like the game is already going fine for me. Sky pushed me back pretty good with mercs/zeppelin but he lost alot too. He made a big mistake losing his lvl 3 AM(where was the zeppelin?) and I could make a final push with glaives and few dryards for dispell. Warden got level 6 and I knew it was game over, he had to call GG and next map was TM.

TM is my favorite map was human, I rarely lose on this map at all so I was glad he didnt veto it. When I was in France for eswc masters me and sky practised in a internet café and I lost 0-2 or 0-3 on TM which surprised me alot(I thought I was undefeatable there). I changed some tiny details like creeping the merc camp to get level 3 so I could get mercs when I was pushing. It paid off really good and even tho he made a painful harras on my moonwells I could end the game with the t2 Glaives/dryards/t1 units push again :) Score was 2-0 and I was very happy that the games went as I wanted =]
I enjoyed a big meal of chicken/potatoes afterwards and started to think about our clanwar vs WE tomorrow. Perhaps I play sky again, hoping for the same result as today !
Cu tomorrow, cheer for Raptor !!

Knoff is BACK!!

Hey guys I'm back from my intensive course for my driver license. It feels so good to be home again. I really see how addicted I am to my family, my friends and then computer when I leave my home for some days. But its good experience going away and you have to do everything your self. Its good training for the day I will move to a house my self too. So its fun to see how it really is :)

I had a really good time practicing and st. But I still got a lot left to do. In 1,5-2 weeks I will do my final test for the license and thats what matters. So I still have to practice a lot if I want to get my license..

I'm starting to play Season 7 again. Got some really nice games that I will upload when the season a over actully it will be a replaypack ^^ hopefully around 200 games if not more. On monday we got a match against World Elite we are currently rank 10 in WC3L and it would be good if we could try to take some points to make sure we stay in WC3L. The maps vs WE are Death Trap, Echo Isles, Secret Valley, Turtle Rock. Pretty hard maps for us beacuse they are really good for undead and human. So they will prolly use Sky and Ted.

And the next weekend the EPS scandinavia will take place which will be really fun. ( I will meet LIILDC!!! ) His chances to win the finals are really good so I hope he can do it and I will support him ^^ The tournament will be best of 5 and single elemination. LiilDC will play against Ciara the first round. And the other players are Dowaq against bringer. I'm pretty sure dowaq will win so I think LiilDC and dowaq will meet in the final which would be really nice. Two swedish players. :D

And by the way dont forget to signup for the Raptor tournament tomorrow, you can do it here:

Cu later everyone.

NGL vs Mouz

Woke up today with a better feeling than yesterday, finally!
I was first out to play vs mouz today on startmap TS. We expected TH to start and so he did, I was well prepared and didnt have any bigger problems finishing the game with warden and 2 aows hunts. This strat seems to be very, VERY hard for humans to counter atm if you do it good ^^
Next player for mouz was fov, as expected too. I thought I would lose against him,(last time I played him in ngl I lost 0-2) but I had a good start on TR and got the map control early in the game. I knew I had a good chance leveling up my heroes and trying to avoid him from getting any bigger spots. He did good creeping anyway and we got into a fight when both was on 70 pop or so. I lost alot of units and killed some too(less units than I wanted to kill tho). Here he had a chance to run over me but he gave me some time and I could get up 80 pop or so with nice items on my heroes and good upgrades on my units, I knew the game was mine at this point. After a short fight he had to call GG and I was a bit happy, but still one to go!
Fly picking SV surprised me abit since I thought he was going to pick MV. I had a decent start picking up greater healing potion and killing 1 grunt, then he played 2 beast mass raiders and I went to be offensive until I had 50 pop with my 3rd hero choice: kotg. I thought the game looked alright for me but I made some mistakes in the fight. First of all I didnt rebuild up my altar when it got down, then I didnt macro(building dots) in the fight as I should have, and 3rd I didnt cyclone his hero in the late fight and surround/kill them. Perhaps I did some more mistakes which im not thinking about now but yeah that's at least something ^^

It was knoff turn to step in vs fly but it turned out really bad. He had alot of lagg and fly played abit smarter. Last man for us to give raptor the victory was Thorzain!

In the early game on MV Thorzain vs Fly it looked good for thorzain I think, lvl 3 mk vs 2 bm. Later on he was able to use mercs(berserkers,priests,golem) very good and could finish off wyvern after wyvern. Then suddenly Fly made a comeback killing MK(lagg? he had tp) and went allin(more or less) at thorzains expansion. All towers except one went down and it was close to GG. Thorzains units came to the rescue and could somehow push away the BM and buy some time until his MK came back. Fly tried to set up an expansion instead but Thorzain pushed him to death quiet easily with gryphons :) The victory was ours !! Raptor 3 - 2 Mouz
Tomorrow I will be back at work and will probably have no time to write here, but hope u enjoyed my last 3 posts and the games this weekened :)

Raptor fighting!!

wc3l vs go)

Hey folks, im sitting here swetting with a fever atm waiting to get better..
I expected us to at least take 2 points vs clan Go) today and I when I saw the lineup I felt confident to win vs focus just as much as vs space just myself and then I thought thorzain would beat focus.
I started off playing against focus on DT, I felt in the begining of the game that my mind was fucked up, my body didnt react as I wanted to and I think I had very low apm. I felt like "slow" was casted on my brain, guess that's the best comparation I can give with my lack off good english. It ended up in a long game anyway which I could have won pretty easy if I was more alert. He focused my heroes all the time and I lost my demon in the last big fight even tho that I could have won the game but this was just not my bo3 ^^
2nd game he took down my gold mine and could end the game after 10 mins or so...At this time I wanted to go back to bed and sleep, but still 2 bo3s left.
First 2on2 with HLA started off, I dont even want to write anything about those games cause I feel completely lost in what happened in the games..All I can say atm is that we need 100 times better teamwork and alot of practise games together ^^
After the first 2 bo3s I expected to lose vs space but I got a better feeling in the begining of the first map on AI. Micro wise and my mind started to work better. I could actually win the both maps (AI/TM) without any bigger problems. I think space was a bit slow with his micro or he aint so used to my style vs undead.
1-4 is too bad vs clan go) and we want to do better next time, expect that!
In 1 hour me/knoff will play vs nGt 2on2, hope we can do it better than me/hla earlier today, cu everyone!
