On Friday night, April 5, 2013, CCR challenged CCA to the first recorded clan match in CC history! The teams were thrown together with whatever each side had on at a minute's notice, and the games played for fun and glory!

________________________________________________________________________________________________ [img]http://i751.photobucket.com/albums/xx152/PsychoGemni/11THEGAMESBEGIN.jpg[/img] [i]The games begin![/i] Starting roles: [code] CCA CCR Commander Corinthian Wildcat Cabin Boy goldenboy Rachmaninoff Wraith Phaeroth zakhennaher Miner Capri DerkaDerka Miner HuMaNLiSK Tivonal Miner Crowbar Weyoun[/code] Both teams start with the standard split. Phaeroth hangs back on his wraith, using it purely for defense. Zak clearly wants to harass with his, but wisely waits for a ping to show that CCA's miners are far from Phaeroth before he strikes. As for the overall game plan, CCR invests in 2 SS hull and energy, and a drone to allow Rachmaninoff to get a corvette to the center for kerm spawn. CCA meanwhile starts upgrading boost at an extremely early 8:15. At 9 minutes they have two predators loaded and move out, leaving a wraith to be a decoy BC and recalling Crowbar from mining to man weapons. Yet at this exact moment, Zak finds his opportunity. He goes in on HuMaNLiSK and Capri, comes close to getting a double kill, but his choice of close quarters combat against two cooperative miners proves too much. He ever-so-slightly overstays his welcome, and is finished off by a mining laser.

Then boosts out to the NW before CCR can react. The kerm spawn ping appears soon after, a very short distance from both bc's. Every small ship instantly hurries home, preparing to contest it. [img]http://i751.photobucket.com/albums/xx152/PsychoGemni/14KERMSPAWN.jpg[/img] [i]Imagine how peaceful life would be without kerm spawns.[/i] CCR reaches the kerm and mines a good chunk before CCA arrives. However, during this time, there is a fatal misunderstanding aboard their BC. One officer upgrades boost over broadsides, apparently thinking that stealing the kerm and running is their best option. Another officer on power boosts shields to enormous levels and leaves engines at zero, thinking that standing their ground and fighting is their best course of action. There is no such misunderstanding on CCA. This makes all the difference, and CCR is destroyed soon after as they run out of power without being able to put out any damage.

Final Thoughts

Spoiler: Show

________________________________________________________________________________________________ I can't describe how much fun it was to play clan vs clan! I look forward to more clan wars games in the future. Also if anyone has some advice on how to make a nicer looking battle report please speak up! I realize this one is a bit messy. ________________________________________________________________________________________________

[Tempest]

awww wish i could have been there make the next duel scheduled in advance!

[Weyoun]

nice write ups, i can't wait for the second, it was an interesting game! Also It just kind of happened, ccr had 6 peeps on and cca had six peeps on so we taunted and teased the CCA into dropping what they where up to and playing us.

[Cats_Eye]

lol Wey always starting shit :p

Look forward to the 2nd game write up.

[HumanLisk]

This is awesome Capri! Was GG's! Can't wait for more high level play!

[zakhennahr]

These were very fun games. Pretty interested to see the write-up of the second game, whenever you get a nice chunk of 2 hours or so to go through it

Not much to see, clan CCR is pretty weak, the only worthy games can be thrown between CCA and CCV, althou CCA is still better, other clans like LoCC/ZergCC are completely out of the picture :p thou a CCR against LoCC might be relatively fair.
IMO

Stop talking trash.
CCR is alright, they just don't have pro-gaming as their goal.
CCV lost a lot of its good players and can't assemble enough online at the same time any more.
You wouldn't even be able to join LoCC due to our high skill requirements, so stop talking about us as if we'd be on the same level as the funclan ZergCC.
It is true though that LoCC won't be able to do clan-wars soon because we don't have enough members generally.

Your trolling on the forums against pretty much everyone, particularly against clans and parties slowly becomes unbearable.

CCR only need to get a little better to start taking games from us. In fact, in game 2 they almost had it.
