Hey, I’m Verp (Verpm ingame) also known as Jae to many people. I played with the team Twitch Heroes in the ESL tournament with Phaeton and Yrit.Although we didn’t have any person from our usual lineup we decided to play it anyways and we pugged 2 warriors from map chat 5 minutes before the start of the tournament. Even though the first game of us was supposed to be a stomp we were actually chosen to be a match features on GW2 official stream. We knew it wasn’t a good idea and even suggested switching the match since we’d knew how it’d end but apparently the twitch chat voted who to see and we had to go with it. That’s how we got the password to the ESL’s Go4 arena, since all matches that are streamed are played in this one arena. After the game was over and the stomp happened I actually realised I could watch the matches inside arena, this started with a little fun of me following the players around and watching how they play out with their cooldowns and try to memorize the rotational play and then try mimicing it when practicing with my teammates. But when the Grand Finals came and I remained unnoticed it hit me – why not make an upset and help oRNG win. This was a dumb idea, and I’m really angry at myself for even thinking about it but being a careless and pretending troll i decided to go with it. I wasn’t even trying to mask it, I’ve been open about it and wanted to use it as a brag to my guildmates.
I decided to message Frae from oRNG, he was the one that was most likely to go with my plan. Since he was not able to play in past few cups, and with all the issues he suffered through last weeks not being able to play I knew he would be short on money since he dropped out of school in order to pursue his GW2 pro-gaming career. People like that tend to be desperate.I told myself he deserved to win and the money would help him. That’s how i excused my conciousness for a while and my plan to help oRNG. In my stupid young conciousness, I also made up that when I’ll make screenshots and share it with my TwitchChat guild guildmates – to show that I can be a big troll and gain their respect. We messed a bit with Frae and I started helping them with everything I could – I would call out cooldowns, rotations, where they’d go after death and even if I thought they could do 1v1s. Team oRNG got a MASSIVE advantage over it and would easily know which points to reinforce in which players and how to counter the enemys rotations on the map COMPLETELY. This gave no field of maneuver to TCG WHATSOEVER. ON the highest level of play, with players having such a huge amount of game knowledge there is nothing you can do, nor nowhere you can go when the enemy can counter your every single move. I will attach a little gallery below together with my adnotations, I wouldn’t do it but the reason I attach it is that ESL can arrange a re-match vs TCG and oRNG – this time a fair one. So both teams have a fair shot at a fair battle. Hopefully it is enough, that’s the least i can do for TCG at the moment.

The game started HUGELY in favor of TCG, with them having alot of advantage over map, but after the calls I’ve made and information i delivered to them oRNG were able to turn the tides of the game. However they seemed to start losing their flow at around 300 points in the game and I decided to start pinging Lypion – I’ve had his IP since he usually sits in an open TS3 channel – being in a same channel together lets you grab an IP of a player. I decided to hit hard when they started losing their stuff together.
Here is when i hit him offline:

Frae then goes to afk and the team has a huge advantage in 4v4. However, Lypion qucikly comes back and thanks to me – literally, oRNG loses the map since TCG is able to reinforce 5v4 without Lypion knowing Frae was afking after his net got hit off. I wanted to take a moment excuse Frae a little – he told me to leave the server and let them play after I commited the dos.
