We can’t seem to reach Eura, but we are working on getting another player to help coach you guys!

good work guys!

Looking forward to it – will be interesting to see the post-patch play. I’ll be hitting up the other team members to see if we can get some practice in.

Has a coach been determined yet?

Just gonna be a bunch of regen bunkers facemashing for 20 minutes at a time, no thanks.

@Laughing
Eurantien is the coach, hence the name of the team.
<edit>And apparently I need to learn how to read coz i totally missed the Eura may not be available post, so never mind that, ROFL</edit>

@Furajir
Ignorance is bliss mate, but that’s taking it over the top no?

sadly i passed 30 couple of days ago >.>
GL and I’ll be watching the videos

Why does EU have 35 as the rank cap for their profession tourney?

Furajir, you do realize there are other viable builds even before the changes.

For example, you can run a purely offensive ranger with protect me and traited signet of stone which gives the ranger 12 seconds of damage immunity.

Something like 30/25/15/0/0 would have very high damage, with 12 seconds of immunity every 64 seconds and a TON of vigor.

If you will be recording – Youtube channel: Will check framerate, then get back to you. =) Regardless my Youtube channel is NeverCry4Pain

Ya if I’m called off the bench, I’m running traps. I want to be able to hold a point, ya know?

I’ll be on around 7pm EST tonight for those that want to practice.

I just talked to Eura and he is able to coach!

We are ready to go tomorrow!

It will be live tonight!

I came to bid my fellow rangers a great and competitive tournament! Good luck, Rangers! Represent us wholeheartedly! I’ll probably join next time >=)

GG guys, TY to Jin for giving me the courage to play, TY to our coach, and TY to our team mates. I had a blast playing with you guys.

Warrior vs Ranger :: Win
Thief vs Ranger :: Win
Engineer vs Ranger :: Loss

GG to the engi’s, rock on fellas

My kittens after that pounding from the engineers. They are too tough on those small capture points.

It was a fun as hell tournament! Great teammates and coach.

I’ll compile my footage from the first warrior/ranger game and post it. All the other footage from game 2 was pointless as I saw very little action.

Big thanks to those who ran the tourney, casters, our coach, my team-mates and those who watched! Was a good run, 2nd out of 8 teams for the much-maligned ranger ain’t have bad. Had fun guys, looking forward to the next one!

Here are the uncasted matches VS Warriors, first and second. Pay no attention to our jibber-jabber in voice comms!

I should have my POV from the first game up tonight. I didn’t capture sound. They were some fun games.

So I haven’t watched it yet, but the 2nd and 3rd Ranger matches are up – you can watch them here, go to about the 2:46:45 mark for the build reviews, and the first match starts at 2:55. Can’t wait!

Anthrage, judging by the stream, we didn’t have too many fans rooting for us. The shout-casters did a decent job, although calling us new players may be slightly inaccurate.

We definitely could have played that thief game 2 a bit better. This tournament did give me hope that BM/Bunker didn’t really get nerfed that badly, if at all.

I’m bummed that i wasn’t checking the forums during that time, would’ve loved to be part of it!

I’ve uploaded the first of our matches VS the Thieves, that’s the first semi-final match – this is my pov, again including our comm spam – good for a laugh.

This gives you a better view of how the initial daggerstorm rush went too, heh.
