It was the PX match for #1.
There was mucho drama all around that . Rogue and Avid were leaders and Rouge was bored of no action so challened everyone on the ladder. Because of leapfrogging and how timing worked out, everyone thought we did it so we would not lose anything if we lost to PX (since they would be #3 when we did the match). Johnny Mercone arranged to do a match with PX the same night they fought dumb so PX would be #2 when they fought us. We will never know if they actually tried to win or not since they did thier officials with no observers.
Anyhoo so there was all this manuvering so PX could be #2 because apparently everyone thought we would lose. I remember Myk especially being very vocal about how scared we were and now it would "mean" something.
Cut to OS v PX. We run our bubbler team for match one and win pretty easy (which was suprising since we had practiced with it for a few weeks and Ownage was pretty good friends with a few on PX). Match two we swithced to dual sonics and were pretty sloppy about who we had target calling so it did not go so hot. Match three we ran team 1 and rolled them again so hooray we win.
except. Team 2 was not so happy...forum wars erupted and people said crappy things to other people. It is an OS tradition that we fight when we win LOL.
I think the best was when we were doing an official with PCJL and were tied 1-1 (lab map, storm team )). Miss and Manheim were fighting on vent during the official they were both in LOL.

Forum drama ftw.
Always the best matches come from good rivalries.
From Live Infinity:
JLE vs dUmb
and
dUmb vs ABH
Half of infinty would come out for the matches. It was a time before timed spikes and such. Just plain someone calling a target in team chat. I cannot forget the thrill of almost beating dUmb by just a couple of kills in my first PvP official.
On test:
Integrity vs PCJL
An Official where Integrity basically had to wait until the last minute or so for PCJL to come down from their perch and score a kill. Also everyone yelling at syph and yosef for almost getting stuck at attempted spikes.
Some of the best times I had were running with PE. As I remember our line up was basically:
Blaster (Fire/Psi)
Blaster
Blaster
Sonic
Therm/Cold/FF/Sonic (Played by Sandri)
Emp
Emp
Kin
We knew the odds were against us but we continued to practice hard.
It seems that most teams can start out with "we are in it for the fun" but as soon as they decide to really go for a top spot, things start to get complicated and tempers flair leading to inner drama and eventual splitting or disbanding of a team.
Dammit Frozen, now I miss the live ladder. Bad enough I ran kickball the other night.
Infinity and Victory mostly
dUmb, etc.
lolz PvP anymore, Market PvP for fun and profit

I'll pose a question for other groups: When your teams saw that dUmb was running storms, did your lineups change at all or did you practice differently?

dUmb's storm team lost to VORI's 2-dom team. I don't think the heroes had to worry about anything.
Trying to brag =/= answering a question.
Try again, plox.
OS ran storms against JAL in the ladder tourney. We started to work on a Storm Sonic team that had great potential but we lost members as usual lol.

I remember there was a time when PCJL and you guys (well us guys, wtf stop confusing me!!!!1111! ) ran Storms ALL the time. Except PCJL ran this passive turtle and you guys had some Jolt hopped up Fire/Storms or something that would stack like 1431414133523511 immobs with the tier 1 then drop Freezing Rain. So rite nao.
ANyway, Proj would usually have us run two Kins, or two Rads against stuff like that...the idea being the +Recovery would help and so would the -Res. Sadly, what would really happen is Yosef and Syph would get into an old couple fight, Stryker and I would get tagged with Hurricane and Proj would sob quietly and helplessly.
