Well guys,we did it, great team work everyone! After taking all that
@Wrobel could throw at us, we have won this campaign--again,good team work everyone.
From the start,we had everything stacked against us! The lag affecting EP way more than the other factions,always outnumbered,and Wrobel keeping proc sets to prevent us from destroying the huge blue and yellow blobs while solo. Somehow we were lucky enough to have VEHEMENCE not compete for once, and they did so while wearing a disguise tabard and only stacking with all of the other AD guilds consistently--plus,an undisclosed VE member was leading the AD Guild Alliance weekly.
Unfortunately for EP, our dominance lessened with too many of our EP brethen getting locked out of the campaign due to the crashes and the bandwagon AD/DC players bringing their bad habits over. And in return, AD got a lot of EP swapping over to stack in their multi-guild zergs: members from Dracarys,Invictus,et al were consistently spotted trying to help AD do well.
Alas, AD needs a pity win at this point. No amount of guild stacking in NA primetime or Oceanic primetime can help them. Dom Dom, DK,VE, Telel,Dopey Bears,RAM,TKG,Ni,Venatus,Samurai Spirit,Igni Veritas,DiG,Nocturnal,et al can stack their guilds in the same spot and outnumber the other factions' guilds 5 to 1 all they want, but quality is better than quanity, AD: This campaign proved it, that mighty stack of TKNiRAMatus pvdooring during NA morning couldn't maintain 1st for AD. What an utter,shameful display of incompetence to be seen from AD's failure to parlay their mediocrity into a campaign win.
The points were so close early on with EP always being outnumbered, but we dug in and leaned back from the precipice: all our hopes and dreams were teetering at that edge, doomed to fall because of the shaking ground from the AD/DC hordes marching towards us daily. They approached so close that Official Team Green's fetid breath could be smelt lingering in the air, just wafting while the bellow of the Ballista King shook the walls with his mighty wailing. However, we held on strongly! When our fps was nothing and the other factions barely seemed to be affected,we held on strongly! Worse yet was how Official Team Green was night-capping each day and how Brandon South Ga's children were exploiting invisible walls to cap keeps and bragging about it. All of this just to make sure EP was hurt, but we held on strongly.
Finally,the AD/DC bandwagoners were dealt with,and EP was able to make a strong push with VEHEMENCE not competing whatsoever. Of course, the DC and AD joined forces under the banner of the Ballista King to form an official green alliance, almost never attacking each other and always coming after the EP. This didn't deter us. We kept fighting, always outnumbered. We held on strongly.
Yellow and Blue had almost all their zergs: running sloads,other proc sets,permafrost,bleeds, steel tornado,et cetera;they had all the OP Cheat Engine bonuses(just to barely get an advantage over us). Still,we held on strongly.
Then the darkest of days came, educing memories of antediluvian evils unbeknownst to most of this generation. AD resorted to using unprecedented zergs and lag switches to lag the server for everyone except themselves, constantly taking keeps by forcing the server to lag ... GG Blizzard. Those 90 man raids to take Drake were the crux of their map control strat, due to Drake being worth 100 points. It was during these bleak times that the lag switchers took 1st, but EP persevered and overcame their night-capping and lag-switching. EP regained 1st triumphantly and meted out justice to the Official Team Green upstarts,who returned to Drake more often than they did to their mother's house to ask for money. No,you shall not have any sort of morale boost or easy currency, heathens!
Luckily for EP,the strength of the Oceanic EP team,consisting of 1 bar of unorganized pugs and no guilds,repeatedly stymied Official Team Green's efforts to bleed points during Oceanic primetime with their stacks of AD Oceanic guilds and DC's Wormhole. During the day, EP reclaimed all that yellow had stolen with their lag tactics, and they wore down the yellow tricksters,the counterfeit greek yogurt manufacturers, the false AP gainers, and the PED crew. Oceanic EP were a brutal unicorn dismantling the aspirations of the tricksters and helped EP reclaim the lead for the glorious peoples of the dragon. Praise Lord Dee Tick!
So even with more eyes on EP's 1st place spot than Tupac ever had on him,we still did it guys: we won the last competitive Vivec campaign. Red has reigned supreme, the best alliance of all, even with the others always outnumbering us, officially working together, crashing the server,and using all sorts of tricks. In the end...
EP WINS!!!!!!
Edit: As AD begged for an Official Team Green and still lost to EP this cycle(with the explicit help of Brandon South-Ga's children on DC side), various EP leads and influencers have stated that EP is focusing on farming AP this next cycle. Good luck to AD and DC fighting for the pity win this next cycle against EP pugs. Best of luck!
