    Mepps People are using a glitch in original raid Throne of the Dead to defeat Hades on NE side of door. Then they call themselves Elite and can't even attempt it inside the raid. Needs to be fixed so that the Elite throne Raid had only true elite non cheaters.

    A humble thank you once again,

    To Mepps: I want to thank Mepps for letting us on the show. I thought it was a great showing and hope you enjoyed it. As always, you are a great host and sorry for the delay/inconveniences we had in order to get ready. Ohh and for some reason, I tried to take a screenshot of you and group pic as well earlier but did not see the option for it. Maybe next time, we'll take a poses too.

    To Spytle: Thanks for playing with us. I think you did great and I also did (detailed) performance reviews on my twitch channel. If you want me to sum it all up again, I'll put up some results here for general interest. I've watched the whole video and thought it was epic. The momentum and chemistry within playing felt real smooth as if you were an actual member of the league. thanks again.

    Results and Commentary (Team Origin vs Team Villains):
    Offense- I think our offense was exceptional. We clicked on all cylinders of the map. I mean even in crucial situations where the villains even had their potential points we came right back and just exploded on offense overall. We put a lot pressure on the villain team as soon as the match started and that's exactly what I wanted. The villain team had better passing though. I think comparing play-by-play passes our team (origin) were going for short, safe, and secure points. As for the villain team, their passes were long range and they got into position well. If they were a pre-made group then I'd say with a little more practice they can become a great passing and rush team, very strong and dominant for passing. We had openings for passes at times that were just incomplete yet we make up for it by executing knockouts, cover and formation.

    Advantage: Team Origin

    Defense- I think our defense was good but the villain team was better. As I stated before, their passing game was on point. Overall their positioning was a tad bit better. They had more spacing than us which allowed them to see more of their surroundings and villains got a red buff during the 2nd respawn of the rock. The villain team even had a batman user to use pulls which gives them a huge advantage. Our defense was way more dependent on formation and communication which usually leads to overall results. Me and Spytle had great teamwork for defending the rock in my opinion. I tried to pickup the rock frequently while covering the nearest teammate (usually spytle). Even though I carried the rock at times I felt that I was forcing the game to shift in our favor. The villain team never really put much pressure on spytle because of our teamwork and covering one another which leads to momentum. There were many times that I was trying to figure out what exactly my other teammates were doing so I just went accordingly with what I said before and let ears freestyle fight and adjust to his style throughout the match.

    Advantage: Team Villains

    Scoring- I think the scoring was entertaining. It takes time to get used to me when it comes to winning since I'm highly competitive. I think scoring was more likely in our favor and here's why. We started with intense offense and easily got 3 kills. From there we had solid teamwork and a comfortable pace. I think I did a great job just trying to survive a lot of the time and slow them down with my defensive control effects and survivability. Even when we secured the rock towards our base the villain team focused on following the rock all the time. Myself and Spytle kept cutting off the passes at times and that's the way of the game. Sometimes you get the rock sometimes you don't, and what I enjoy about non-deathmatches is that their are 2 ways of scoring and we just happen to be the better team. I think Tijaja was great overall on the villain team especially on D and covering. Tijaja is a very smart player, pulling the rock carriers (me and spytle) as soon as we pickup the rock especially when we were close to our respawn and/or scoring base. NightwingJL provided a lot offense needed but average defense, in my opinion. NightwingJL was actually focusing fire a lot on our weakest groupmate FreezenDeath. I think the match felt like 3 (us) versus 4 (villains) throughout most of the match anyhow. Thunder, from the villain team provided outstanding defense with circe, I mean there is not much you can do when someone is teleporting and passing to themselves, just a great tactic and technique. Just superb self-cover and covering flank, just a great solid player and nice defense plays by Thunder.

  14. Original Scar New Player

    Individual Skills and Character Selections- from a 1 star rating to a 5 star rating
    Original Scar playing as Kyle Rayner: I'm a 5 star player, I know almost everything about the game so no weaknesses in my opinion. I focus on the team getting better and I felt my teammates feed off of my performance which is such a great thing to do throughout the whole match.

    Ears726 playing as Nightwing: I felt he was a 4.5 rated performance. He was out of formation at times and didn't do much pickups and throws but he held up his performance with following orders as always and great O''s and D's.

    GM Spytle playing as Donnna Troy: I felt spytle was easy to coach, he listens, follows, leads and gives out commands and orders just like myself but when needed. He did an outstanding job with the scoring, rushing and passing. The only kind of weakness I saw was spytle not fighting as much as I thought he would. The performance was outstanding as expected.

    FreezenDeath playing as Donna Troy: 1.5 star player, imo (in my opinion), he was too laid back and even when I said some basic and advanced commands he wouldn't follow through almost never. I honestly felt he didn't do much at all and I could be wrong. He was more of a punching bag for the villain team. I guess the game needed balanced teams for the instance so I understand.

    GM Spytle: forgot to rank him last post. I give him a 4.5 rating performance


    Tijaja playing as Batman: 4.5 star rated player. He did a great job by stopping us throughout the whole match. As soon as our team would pick up the rock he would primarily focus on pulling us. Overall outstanding defense for himself while also being a teamplayer. It seemed like me and him had the same tactics and strategies which was to slow the other team down and when a team falls you have to continue what they were doing as well and cover their position.

    NightWingJL playing as Robin: 4.5 star rated player. I actually think Tijaja and Nightwing were in a group since they have a very similar fighting style and double team moves. Robin is a very underestimated character because there isn't any other staff using character. The staff as weapon itself has stunning capabilities and many people seem to forget or not even bother knowing that. Having Robin's loadout in the safehouse map is very important because it's well rounded especially having the ability to sneak around to pick up the rock when respawned. NightWingJL was exceptional. He stuns, pulls, fights, covers, did everything he could to keep the match close. Even at one point during the middle of the match he was defeating me on the scoreboard so I know for sure I had to slow him down and put pressure on him. I'd say he was the MVP on the (his) villain team.

    GreenLanternJHL playing as Nightwing: I think he did ok. Just an average player imo, 2.5 star rated player. He had a great team so I guess he was still learning the game and just trying to get the flow of the team. He was basically following the group as needed. On a positive note, he stayed well in positioning of the group. Not giving himself away for bait either so we can focus on him. I'm not sure if I saw him pickup the rock and help his team but I'm sure fought a bit to help his team out.

    Thunder playing as Circe: 4.5 rated performance. Just excellent tactics by Thunder. I mean doing some self-passing with circe because of her teleportation move and on top of that he kept throwing both user adds to get in our way. The sneakiest player in the match I'd say. I got plenty of chances to matchup against him. I mean I didn't seem to get targeted by circe much. Even when I tried putting pressure on him just great patience and focus on getting the rock and attempting to take out the hero team when health was low on us. Just great player on filling in the blanks and doing everything needed to win. As for as matchups, I feel that thunder did a great job getting a piece of action on all of us to see how strong we are and analyzing different situations especially passing. I noticed Thunder wanted the matchup against spytle and about once or twice I couldn't cover or do much but watch the health bar on him, just let them go isolated to battle it out, observe for a bit and make a quick decision on whether to assist with a clutch knockout or secure the rock. I felt Thunder and Spytle had the same strong focus on securing the rock. well done though by both teams.

    Advantage:Team Villains

    Overall Teamwork
    I think our teamwork was slightly just because we had a gameplan before the match started. I'd say everyone was well aware of their surroundings on my team but as for the villain team they did very well on the spot. As far as the matchups were, I think our team was the one with the advantage because we played it the way I expected it which was to battle it out and of course me holding a lot of weight especially in 2v1 or 3v1 situations. It relieves pressure of my team in which allows a teammate to carry the rock safely and securely. I didn't pick up the rock so much as I thought I would because I felt overall fighting it out was more my playstyle for the match. The regrouping and covering was great which allowed us to score as a team and play the way I expected. I actually saw the footage from my POV and Spytle's POV, it was epic in my opinion. As for the villain team, they had a well-rounded and balanced team. They all didn't fight much when the rock was close to their base/zone and that's what always makes the match interesting because it can go either way anytime. I did notice, when the villains did regroup it was usually against me yet I do enjoy the odds and it's nothing new to me when the connection is really good. With that said once again, I had fun, enjoyed the victory and hope to put on another epic showing.

    Advantage: Team Origin


    To Tunso: Thanks for the recognition in the beginning of FNL 75. We still look forward to playing with you and hope we can put up another epic showing with you being featured. I'd figure you're a great player because you came up with the weapon mastery mechanics and I saw that one episode with the devs playing survival mode in the Oan map and you did very good. We also like the commentary you have given proven the previous FNL episodes so we thought it would be an easy choice to play with you. maybe next time!

    Additional Comments:
    I want to thank everyone for watching the stream, all my followers, friends, fans, league mates, viewers, devs, EVERYONE! I will continue to bring out the best of dcuo at a hardcore level and hope to see you all at the finish line. We'll still be around till the end because we are Origin, where the best heroes, fun, and action all began! see ya on the battlefield. . .
