Just wanted to clear up some confusion. I received some concerned tells from people wondering why I wasn't in the matches. Later there were posts in arena chat:

[Arena] Midnight Hands: O like battle battlewraith who got benched the first 2 matches?[Arena] Giraffe Neck Hot: [Tell] @BattleWraith: they benched me

Hahaha I was just fooling you guys. I played all three. It was actually pretty anti-climactic. I popped 3 inspirations all night. GG!

I can't say I blame you for playing a mastermind... If I were bad at pvp I would do the same.

Seems like the lulz were epic, I am sorry I couldn't make it and wish we had more time to develop the line up we wanted. I will try to come up with a better excuse next time.

The lineup we wanted to run was viable and with the intended team and some practice on it I think it would have been more successful. The idea was generated with competitiveness in mind and was sound. I take responsibility for the deaths since it is my job to keep people alive, but considering how throw together it was I still think we did well.

Would the more vocal members of Ware prefer teams bring obviously outmatched jump teams they know they're going to lose on or actually try to make something else with the intention of challenging you? We lost. Ok, that's fine. But I honestly expected a more civil response considering we actually tried something else.

You're asking who cares yet dignify us with extensive responses defending your point of view. Interesting.

Its great you all tried something new but the fact you take some sort of victory out of running something different, getting zero kills and making it seem as if holding us to single digit kills was some sort of defeat on our part. The matches were honestly the most boring matches I've watched, even bringing two KM Scrappers couldn't keep me enertained. Me personally I'd rather lose 24-4 than 7-0. You all continued to run the sit still for 10 minutes a match Mastermind team after it was clear as day it wasn't working and it gave you all no chance to win. So basically you weren't playing to win, just not to get the score ran up too badly.

If that's what you all want to do, that's your choice obviously, but if you're expecting some sort of acknowledgement or respect for doing so I'd think otherwise.

I thought draw team lineups were against the rules?

We were pleased with the results because we thought that that match might be a complete trainwreck and it wasn't, despite the fact that we hadn't practiced it and didn't have the actual lineup there. We ran the lineup the second time simply on the chance that we might get a favorable map, which didn't happen. Even at that the results were pretty much the same. C'est la vie.

Your team doesn't give acknowledgement or respect, that's pretty much a non issue.
Also "Tryhard Extaordinaire" Barrier wanted me to post this:

The team was built with winning in mind, make no mistake. Just didn't work as well as I would have liked. The stalker was switched with blasters to hopefully bring enough damage to get the kills, but that didn't happen either and the map was crap for us. It wasn't played to draw or simply to lower the kills. That would be lame. It was made to reduce your ability to get easy rolling kills while allowing for stray pull spike targets for us.

If it was a draw or 'just don't get destroyed too bad' team I would have veto'd it. I don't play that way. I'd rather get demolished and have tried my best. There should be no implied 'defeat' on your team from mine and I promise any comment made is not or should not be meant that way. Attitudes aside, your team is amazingly good and fun to both watch and play against. Any pride in the matches should be read as excitement that the initial idea, while it didn't work like we wanted, had merit.
