Von doesn't tilt like hans does, if von can win 2 games I think he will take the series. Voted 4-3 for vonivan.

Minsk is fine, at least there's no horrible chokes or bridges. It's boring, but at least the sides are balanced. Nice and symmetrical.

All the bridge maps need to be removed. All the maps with a clearly good/bad side need to go to, or have the map made more symmetrical.

This franchise has always struggled with maps, there's only ever been like 3 or 4 good 1v1 maps, and even less 2v2 maps.

You take a lot of bad engagements this game, outnumbered or outpositioned. You also lose a lot of units, including your AEC and your HT, because you don't run soon enough, or you don't run at all. It's always a gamble when you leave stuff in danger, and you seem to take too big of risks sometimes. Play more conservatively.

If you can't micro 2 or 3 engagements at once, don't try! Just blob a little bit, or use all your units to flank. You lost a lot of fights because you tried and failed to micro on multiple fronts.

Your issue wasn't really the MGs, but I will answer that question anyway: mortar pit, or land mattress later. The only other option is flanking, but on some maps its pretty impossible. Sniper is also an OK option but the countersnipe is a real danger.

You're right about the grenade warning. you have to see the animation on the gren begin, you can't wait until you hear the "grenade!" sound. Sometimes you can retreat at that point, but not if it's aimed behind your squad.

Your build order wasn't bad, though I like to get some engineers out right away to repair the AEC.

Personally not a fan of that commander and it didn't seem to help you much, but it's all personal pref and the brit commanders don't make a huge difference unless you're spamming emplacements. At least not until you call in a heavy but you never got to that point. The commander with the flamers has the ability that lets tommies fight better out of cover, which can help in flanking MGs.

Your attitude is commendable, we need more people in the community like you! Best of luck and keep on practicing.

Interesting game. I think there was a lot of luck with all those t34 shots penetrating the panther. That being said, coming out of a cons opening without the game being over is always impressive.

Like Luciano said. The internet tends to attract people who struggle with social interactions more than other communities would. GGs are pretty rare in this game, no different in League of Legends, Overwatch, etc. That being said there are some nice people out there, and it is refreshing when you meet someone who is a good sport. Just a shame it isn't the norm.
