Well, looks like that is a winning strat as they have the map.

Score Update: (Monday 12:22 PM)
TC - 151,912 + 190 (+165 ppt average for the match from extra Yak points / error)
CD - 76,008 + 420 (+69 ppt average for the match from extra Yak points / error)
HoD - 20,684 + 85 (+24 ppt average for the match from extra Yak points / error)

See Millenium for Graphs

Yeah I'm not condoning this kind of thing b/c it's just as bad as fighting a tough battle in MF% gear...  but as long as HoD had some residual T1 expectations before they fell out of T2, the system *should* still handle them here /w T2 predictions atleast.  And obviously we've already "beaten the spread".  As long as we don't lose as badly as FA, we're in the clear this week, I recon.

what ever the outcome tc and cd will meet again next week

[Lirea]

I am honestly glad to see that all three servers are still fighting hard. Even HoD has been making some great pushes. Lets keep this up all week!

Not necessarily, the gap between IoJ and TC in projected ranking is narrowing all the time and there is still a slim possibility TC may get bumped up into T2.  It needs another 50 points of ratings swing, with the current swing standing at 140.  Unlikely but within the realms of possibility (especially if CD give up at some point, which I obviously hope they don't.)

What are you talking about CD gave up 2 days ago....

We must be playing a different game because every night on oceanic prime time CD arrives in overwhelming numbers and wipes us off the map. When I went off yesterday CD was +515 and TC was less than 100, even HoD were higher than us.

[Zynthetic]

Kelo CD may give up during the day, but their night force vastly outnumbers anything TC can put out.

So what we have is a repeat of TC's matchup against old SoS, where CD just rocks up at night, gets to either PvD or 40v10 almost everything for a 400-500 point tick during oceanic primetime.

Also, just when CD's night crew went to attack SM, someone bought the patrols upgrade, using up 2000 of our supply. Hence why the battle of Stonemist was so short, we couldn't really do anything with the 400 we had left, versus the full 2k we went through the previous night and only lost Stonemist when we let our guard down.

On a side note, TC + CD's night force = Tier 2 server? Although I do admit as an oceanic, it's enjoyable having something to do overnight. Hoping it's TC / CD / Yak's for the next match, if TC goes up to t2 now we'll just get hammered.

WTB more Euro, Asian and Oceanic transfers to TC.

Earlier this morning, the map looked pretty bad for TC. Half of it was Red and the rest blue. Clearly shows our lack of coverage, well it's a different topic. Great battles at SH and TC garrison. We eventually lost both but fought hard to keep Cragtop. We held it to our heart to make sure not to lose it at any cost, and kept pushing CD every moment there was an assault. CD kept trebbing Crag walls from Garrison, but we had plans of our own. We kept trebbing their walls and the battle was to and fro - from Crag to Garrison, we all ended up dead, returned at Cragtop, assaulted Garrison again, did more damage to your siege in the 2nd try. If i remember correctly, it took us another round of assault to push forward and eventually take garrison back. All the time we had only one commander on the map. After getting garrison, we didn't waste any time and pushed the fight to Sunnyhill and took it in no time.

P.S: If you see a blue Sylvari guardian in draconic armor with a staff, running at you in suicidal mode, that's me . Great fights, CD! Thanks for the fun!
And yeah, the one CD guy (I assume it was a guardian due to having same underwater attacks as I do), who attacked me on Sunday while I was trying to get quaggans, thanks for the fight. I was attacking Krait, and all of a sudden this guy jumped on me and kept at it. It was a to and fro 1 on 1 match underwater, I was in a downed state for sometime, but thanks to my Sword of Justice and a krait and my downed state attack, I managed to down you (we both went into downed state at the same time I believe) and eventually defeat you. I couldn't manage to bow to you underwater (not sure if it works), but you disappeared immediately. Just wanted to say, thanks for the great fight, and you fought a honorable 1 on 1 fight

Ah yes, the patrols at SM in the middle of a siege. That sent off some sparks in team chat >_>

[VicMorrow]

I think the reason CD could make comeback last week is due to Yak have less NA west coast. TC is west coast server, it shortened the PPT CD could reap. Last week we spawn camping a bit after control a map 100%. This week everybody just log out once we cap enemy garrison.

WooHoo! Awesome Friday Night! The Reddit guilds completely crushed Tarnished Coast's Borderlands! I will have to say though, TC you are the first server to EVER prevent Reddit from taking the Hill Keep north of our spawn within the first 10min of reset, not even Ascension Alliance, Fist of the Empire, or Jade Quarry could stop us but you did for over a hour!

Thats awesome! lol glad to see you guys rocking it , but we couldn't hold our own vs the constant coverage / presure of the new life TC had got.. I mean TC is the first server I think least I have seen to defend the quaggan's or even really attempt to take them and hold them. Saw a group of 5 in the middle island and was blown away lol , was shocked to see this. I mean the 24/7 or just about 24/7 coverage TC has and had during this match up was insane. While we CD lost some good guilds we gained a few as well , but man never seen a ZERG like TC did over the weekend. Having such a massive zerg , attacking with good force 2 sides of Garrison while CD held it (with the upgrade bug , stupid bug lol) and being able to defend a tower from us attacking it.. Think sunday while we CD were trying to take Cliffside back , you guys had almost 20 seige wpns in this tower , just was like holy hell! and it was holy hell to try and break through lol...

Wish HoD had more of presense during this match , but the HoD taht showed up Sunday night was amazing , i mean in HoD BL while we owned DB , getting hit from both sides from HoD and TC was crazy and then TC slipping in and past the inner gate and sacking the lord b4 i even knew what happened lol.. All and all good fun match up..

But you know HoD you guys and gals are always welcome to become apart of the CD family!! , just saying is all

*edit* I use the term Zerg , meaning just a huge mass swarm of enemies.

This is just wow , for the longest time , CD had a great day crew , we'd pull ahead on day 1 and hold our own , but then when the day crew passed out from the 14-15hr shift in wvw the night crew was not there.. I for one , am apart of the Day crew , and while friday was unable to play much , I spent at least 14hrs in WvW on Saturday and sunday , and we did great but the TC coverage least in CD BL was insane . I mean at the begining the pressure you guys started with to the end of like Saturday didnt let up , I think I went to bed on saturday / sunday morning and in CD BL , we CD had maybe 1 or 2 towers, you guys in TC owned all of your own map , a good half of Eternal , all of HoD since they didn't get started in WvW till sunday lol , and owned 90% of CD BL. So maybe your guys crew just finally ran outta steam.

I know a huge chunk of our Day crew , some of the big guilds , jumped ship before this match up , but also gained a bunch of Oceanic guilds , which is awesome. Think its funny , that for the longest time we struggled with a night crew, the moment we get a good strong night crew , our day crew jumps ship lol.. Guess you can't win em all..

But GL to both TC and HoD in the rest of the week and in your up coming match ups! Hope to see you guys again in the future!

So far in this matchup, CD explodes out of the gates and takes nearly the entire map during this period like clockwork when the Singaporeans come out to play during Asian/Oceanic night time. TC is nearly unmanned during this time, so no we don't nearly have the 24/7 coverage you think we do. I'm sure our US prime time team is pretty awesome though, but I don't get to play during those times =(

Gotta agree with this. Alright I'm from Asia, Singapore to be specific. On Sunday noon our time, I logged in and saw that the TC map was almost empty and the entire map looked Red and Blue. So, no, we don't have 24x7 coverage as others think. But its a known fact that when NA crew is on, its a different game altogether.

[Krisa]

Yeah Totally know that. I mean got on about just little before 6pm PST , and we CD owned everything in CD BL , was shocked , then within an hour maybe hour and a half , we CD lost all the south side of the map , lost DB , Lost EH , then slowly systematicly lost all our north towers then lost garrison.. Seems either everyone left even tho having full control of the map there was still alot of action going on. or B just people didn't care lol. Sounds bad but , but I mean none of the towers were upgrades. None of teh 3 keeps were upgraded or claimed. If DB or even Garrison had a WP , could of been more fun and the fighting at DB and such would of lasted longer.

Fact is just against the onslaught of TC players probably around 40 if not more , we had 5 ppl to defend. While you might think that would be able to hold off an a good size attack force lol , but the Line of Sight issues of being ontop of the wall and trying to look and target the ground is rough (as I am a necro) where as the attacking force can just target the walls themselfs for the Aoes and it wraps around and hits the defenders on the walls lol.. My honest thoughts was noone really cared about CD BL , once we capped it all , ppl were like ,my job is done now time to go do something else. Which frustrates me to no end.  By probably 7pm PST TC had retaken the entire map lol , but then finally ppl got on and started to take stuff back put pressure on you guys was great.

Just seems less and less people are really taking pride in WvW or least since TC has over a 100k pt lead ppl just don't have the ... to log in and keep playing.  Yes its great winning and being in the lead and yes it sucks to be down such a huge number that its nearly impossible to catch up but , still I always have a blast no matter what the score is as long as tehre is ppl in the BL and we kill eachother im ok with it. Like trying to run into Longview when its getting seige by 40+ TC ppl and just praying that noone roots me b4 i can make it to the door haha.

Oh well guess fighting a losing battle at times. Most of our commanders it really seems are hit or miss , they have their on agenda and own plans to do something and a lot of the times doesn't seem to be defending / upgrading towers and keeps .. When a keep has full supplies and no upgrades qued or on it , it make me sad lol..
