Things you may/may not want to know about the Skillz that Killz vs. Original Sine Charity Ball match tonight (*possibly moved from 9pm EDT to 10pm EDT).

OFFICIALLY MOVED TO 10PM EDT

-The CHARITY BALL (which we hope becomes a tradition, played after every season) is for the benefit of Tagpro and its developers. Place any bet you would like on any aspect of the game (in the comments of this post or in the comments of the original post): http://www.reddit.com/r/TagPro/comments/2175t5/charity_match_stk_vs_original_sine_tomorrow_night/

If you lose the bet, PAY UP at this link (with whichever server you're logged into):

-The game will be streamed here: www.twitch.tv/stewarrttt

(I did hear something about possibly streaming on youtube insteads... we will post the official stream here either way)


ROSTERS:

Skillz that Killz (MLTP Season 4 SuperBall Winners):

STALIN - O

DINO - D/O

GINSENG - O

JESUS - D

SAUNUKU - D

Original Sine (Current #1 US Contenders team)

WOWSUCHPRO - O

TACKPRO - D

TOJO - O

NLFN - D

TRANE - D

LIQUID - O


-It should be noted that the 6 players on Original Sine have NO experience playing mLTP or MLTP. NONE. We hope that the Charity Ball becomes an underdog sort of match like this after every season. I mean, who hasn't asked themselves if some of the best pub players with zero experience playing in minors/majors can hang with the best of the best? This will be your answer!

-There will be two games, two 10 min halves each game (for a total of 40 mins of tagpro). Game 1 on Holy See. Game 2 on Thinking with Portals.

-This may be the most important game EVER played on Thinking with Portals (which may well be the most controversial map in Tagpro history). Original Sine has had their part in that controversy, infamously challenging some teams on TWP in US Contenders. It should be known that Original Sine has never lost a game or even a half on TWP.


And as for trash talk: it should be known that Skillz that Killz uses body wash as shampoo (as a team policy).


-Original Sine has had some experience playing MLTP stacked teams. The results of those games:

---OS vs. Inglorious Basterds (Saunuku, Dino, Swerve, The Abbott) in US Contenders on Koala:

Result: Tied 5-5

---OS vs. Never Limit Raccoons (Swingman, Raven, Spiller, LizardWizard) in US Contenders on TWP:

Result: Original Sine wins 11-6

---OS vs. Miami Heat (Harryball, Dick Licker, Mikero, yLamda) in Semifinals of 3-20 March Madness Thurs Night Tournament on Boombox:

Result: Original Sine wins 3-1

---OS vs. Thunder Cunts (Saunuku, Ginseng, AnalShipment, Noobkin) in Finals of 3-20 March Madness Thurs Night Tournament on Holy See:

Result: Original Sine wins 4-2

Soooo maybe they won't get blown out... ^but ^probably ^will.

-Also, there are exactly 40 players in pub games history (when sorted for >1000 games) that have a win % over 70%. 3 of those players play on Original Sine (WowSuchPro, Tojo, TackPro)


Trash talk #2: Skills that Killz only answers their phones when they know EXACTLY who's calling, missing out on numerous meetups and opportunities. LOSERS!


MY BET

I predict the scores:

Holy See - STK wins 49-1

TWP - OS wins 50-1

If these exact scores don't happen, I will donate $25 to tagpro.

edit: I'm also making a $5 bet that at some point in this whole process, WowSuchPro will do or say something that could be considered abrasive to others, but not to those of us who know and play with him regularly.

You do realize this is Skillz that Killz we're talking about, right?

I'll donate $50 for each game that Original Sine wins. I'm not sure if I'll be able to tune in, but I have a good feeling that Tack and company will bring it tonight. If Dayton can make it to the Sweet Sixteen, Original Sine can get a couple W's against those StK scrubs.

Edit: The donation has been made. Congrats to OS on a good first game and a dominating second.

You are defending the honor of MLTP. Do not fail us.

Eggy! Haven't seen you in pubs in a while, but i remember when we would play hours on end in pubs together! That was back before you were even registered haha. And now you're a highly touted defensive prospect! Let's hang on mumble some time.

eggy_weggs_tpeggy weggs•

Yeah man, my work connection went to crap so I can't play all day at work anymore. I see you've only added like 10 degrees in the last couple weeks. Pffft.

I'll hit you up if I spot you on mumble though, I've learned a lot from watching you.

God damn HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT MY BODY WASH HABITS. Also I'VE PLAYED ON TWP ONCE SO WE ARE SO GONNA WIN SO HARD I KNOW WHAT THE PORTAL THINGS DO NOW

Whats the difference between US contenders at MLTP? I dont follow tagpro leagues much but I recognize a lot the names in the teams that they tied or beat and their win percentage seems great (although it can be skewed based on how often they pub alone while logged in). Based on the stats you listed alone they dont seem like underdogs at all

TackProOPCapper's Delight // ALL CAPS // O.S.•

MLTP is THE major league of tagpro. There is a draft, organized schedule, playoffs, the SuperBall, etc.

US Contenders is a king of the hill type league where ANYONE can form a team of 4 and join. Some MLTP players have formed teams in US Contenders, but not many. The competition in US Contenders is not nearly as tough as it is in MLTP.

Pub stats don't do alot in terms of indicating whether or not a player is good. Playing well in the majors in THE measure of how good a player is.

I'll donate $5 that if/when we lose, I'll say that it's due to us wanting people to donate money to TagPro.

Also pls stahp with the blowout talk, OS is way better than people give them credit for^(all about that chemistry amirite?)

Anyone who thinks this will be a blowout is just dumb.

3
TackProOPCapper's Delight // ALL CAPS // O.S.•

Duuuude, that's a brilliant losing justification. Damn, we shoulda thought of that first. Now we got no reasons to lose besides just being scrubby pubby players.

KobeMaybe•

I'll put 10 dollars on STK on Holy See, and another 10 dollars on OS on TWP.

Maybe it'd be a better idea to donate to Origin.

More news!

Original Sine refused to play Inglourious Basterds because they wanted to stay #1 this week!

They lost to an unknown team that was 10 spots below them, then quickly rematched them!

When the tied Inglourious Basterds The Abbot just joined the team one hour prior!

read this thread for a full review of Original Sine's refusal!

http://www.reddit.com/r/USContenders/comments/20og2h/grudge_match_inglourious_basterds_vs_original_sine/

tl;dr - we suggested 2 times slots, they couldn't do either and suggested none

Except I specifically went into y'all's channel last night asking for the match. No one responded, y'all logged out.

There's your facts.

We refused?

They lost to an unknown team that was 10 spots below them

btw, how was that considered a valid match? I thought the rules were that you can challenge up to 4 spots ahead. Was it a challenge from a long time ago or something?

Yeah it was an oldie
