We adopted the inferior-on-the-net but superior-on-a-LAN strategy of holding a central area and sending out pairs to gang up on the enemies. When a player can be overwhelmed by swarms of machinegun-toting enemies, it’s hard for him to hold an area on his own. We were able to do this as a result of a lockdown strategy that did not work nearly as well on LAN. This « quota » kept me motivated – I always had something to strive for. We always felt disappointed if we didn’t reach what we referred to as our « quota » – winning by a frag difference of greater than 100. If we ever had a « close » scrimmage (50 frag difference or less) we’d go on IRC and talk it over. When I first joined cK, we were overzealous about everything – we prided ourselves in not losing a scrim for months, and felt that our starters (who at the time were czm, ouija, spook, and dmx) could beat any other team on dm7 by over a 100 frag difference. Playing 4v4’s with cK has, in the long run, made me worse, since when I realize that I don’t even need to try and my team can still win, I feel like I need to. It’s a great feeling when every player in a game is playing amazingly well, and you feel like you’re all improving together. I think that those 2v2’s were what made our main players as good at tdm as we became – it was great, for example, to watch night by night in 2v2’s between czm/spook and ouija/orb as all four players started really kicking ass every game. The best practice I’ve gotten as a result of being in cK was the intraclan 2v2’s we played over the summer. Unfortunately I’ve never been able to really practice with fatality in 1v1, so I can’t say my 1v1 game has improved much, if at all, from being in cK. Being a pretty good player yourself, what have you been able to learn from playing with such talented players? In your current clan (Clan Kapitol), you play with some very talented players, including the CPL’s #1 ranked player, Fatality. Je sais bien que tout le monde s’en fiche mais vu que j’ai rien écrit sur nofrag ce weekend et que dans 3min la page sera vide il faut bien que je remplisse (c’est mon côté pro de grand reporter).
