Alessus and the OCC

Hello everybody!

This topic is for my OCC Blood Bowl content, with the plan being to stream and upload to Youtube all of my matches as well as related broadcasts for example start of season division reviews and the like.

We'll be starting off with a special review consisting of all teams in all divisions for the OCC seeding tournament:

 

The live streams happen at https://www.twitch.tv/AlessusTV while the streams will also be uploaded to my Youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZdsrx0m43J2yzcWHFUSXwA

 

Thanks everybody for watching and hope you enjoy the content!

Good question, one which I probably should have included in the first post 
That would be at https://www.twitch.tv/chaplainkiramasako
There will be a message in the OCC Discord as well in the #streamer-central prior to the start of the game of course. I will also note that I do stream content other than Blood Bowl and related things, but I will make sure that at the very least all OCC matches will be properly noted in the stream schedule.

MD1 is done! Here is the evidence:

Spoilers for the game below if you wish to read it instead:

First Half:

Spoiler

Weather is fine, Fisher_84 decides to receive. Match starts out very well for me, getting a Blitz on the kick-off, blitzing one of his blitzers and stunning him as well as tagging one of his Catchers that is forward with the Assassin on the right and the kick is deep in the endzone, but bounces one forward towards the middle. Fisher_84 decides to try to muscle his way through from the left, making an incomplete cage for his Catcher on the left, leaving the Thrower by himself in the back with the ball, unfortunately the Catcher marked by the Assassin fails his dodge away and is stunned as he was likely supposed to be the player to cover the Thrower. I aggressively mark his team, including a Blitzer making the 2 GFIs to mark the Thrower and the other Blitzer takes down his Catcher in the incomplete cage while one of Blitzers on the LoS get KO'd. Fisher then reforms into a blob in the center, makes the dodge with the Thrower to get away from the Dark Elf Blitzer tagging him and then either he forgot to active the pass action before moving or he didn't intend to pass to the LoS blob yet, but regardless the Thrower holds onto the ball and with some more dodging he gets a Catcher and Blitzer to try and help keep the Thrower safe. On my I take down his Thrower with a Blitz and the ball bounces towards my endzone. I then make a blunder where I mark a player with my Runner and go for the pickup with the Witch Elf after putting as many tackle zones as possible on the ball as I didn't realize that the Witch Elf would need to do a GFI to even attempt the pickup and she fails it (I don't reroll as I only 1 left) and from here it becomes a scrum for the ball, where my opponent manages the following: With a Human Lineman he makes a 2d Blitz on my Lineman, takes him down, then makes a dodge into a tackle zone where the ball is (uses reroll), picks up the ball (no reroll) and then dodges out (using a team reroll). This allows him to build a decent cage after making couple more 3+ dodges but he is now out of rerolls. Assassin stab KO's his Thrower and I manage to tag the ballcarrier by taking down his Blitzer cage corner, but manage to also KO my other Blitzer on  block that I don't reroll. His turn however was very quick as after standing up the Blitzer he makes a 2 die blitz with a Lineman also for a  result. After blitzing and surfing his Lineman with the Witch Elf and then moving her to assist against the ballcarrier we take him down using up our last reroll for it. We manage to pick the ball with a Lineman and move him forward generally tagging and blocking his players. Unfortunately this costs us our other Blitzer as he tagged the ogre after following up the block on the ballcarrier and he gets Seriously Injured in the process, but my opponents 2d up hill block with a Catcher against my Lineman yields only a push. From here we steadily make our way up the field with the Lineman scoring on turn 7 despite the pressure that Fisher puts on him. Unfortunately for us, we fail 4/4 of our KO rolls after his LoS blocking+foul KOs another 2 elves. Thankfully the ref sees the foul and tells the player and the coach to both piss off. He recovers 2/3 players he had KO'd.

Second half:
 

Spoiler

Things are slightly difficult with only so few elves on the pitch for the 2nd half, but so long as we can keep him from scoring, we'll have won the game. Kickoff gives a bribe to both teams, which ends up not getting used by either, but it's a short kick, with the Runner barely being able to reach the ball from the back. I screen him as well as I can, while making headway forward. Unfortunately we also lose a team reroll to a bad block on the LoS. He blitzes his way to tag the ballcarrying Runner from the side and back as well as barring my way forward as well. Then I make another major blunder, I move a Lineman next to the edge of the pitch marking his Blitzer because I briefly consider surfing him with the Witch Elf, but decide against it as the first block would be a 1d, so now he is in a much inferior position when I blitz with the Runner instead, thankfully I manage to take down the Blitz and run past, with the Witch Elf dodging and marking both the downed and an upright one. I make more dodges with the other elves, but my positioning is still rather shaky. He then makes the most of it, marking and 2d blitzing the Runner, who tries to Dump-Off, wildly inaccurates into the crowd, who throw the ball to the intended recipient, the Witch Elf, but she fails the catch due to 2 tackle zones. From here the game devolves into a scrum for the ball where I manage to clear him out enough to pick it up with a Lineman, but then fail a dodge to get him to safer position, then Fisher pushes my player onto the ball, the ball scatters into the hands of his Catcher who makes the catch while in a tackle zone, makes the dodge away and then makes 2 GFIs, using a team reroll for each. My Assassin manages to tag him, but on his turn a Human Blitzer makes it to help and the Catcher 1d blitzes him down and makes it far enough away that the Assassin can't reach anymore and so Fisher scores on his turn 15. My block dice on the LoS aren't great as the Witch Elf manages a  and he takes some ineffectual blocks as well. Unfortunately for Fisher he did managed to have one of his Catchers die after a failed dodge, so neither team walked away without having been banged up at least somewhat.

The MVPs as distributed by the game were: his ogre, who now has 6 SPP and probably gets Guard while one of my Linemen got it.

Our MD2 opponent is Corash with Vicious Virtuosi Dark Elf team! Match has been arranged for Monday 15th 19:00 UTC! 
Will add the Youtube upload here once game is complete!

[Alessus]

MD2 done with. Let the Elf ball commence!

I think I'll save the written version for the team blog, as it seems a bit excessive to have it posted in both places

MD3 we are facing Magg's Cru  Orc team coached by Maggiot, which will be streamed on Wednesday 17th 16:00 UTC! Hope to see everyone there!

[Alessus]

MD3 is over, let loose the orcs of war!
 

MD4 should be another clash with Orcs, this time against coach BB_Nut and his Harlequins B.B.F.C. who are facing one of the leading Black Orc teams of the group this matchday! Here is hoping for some MNGs!

[Alessus]

MD4 against BB_Nut and his orcs is done!
 

 

 

MD5 will be (I think) against Kubusta and his Black Orc team

[Alessus]

MD5 was indeed against Kubusta and his Black Orcs and I completely forgot to make the video public on Youtube after uploading it so here it is! 

MD6 is against a Averygrumpydad and his Human team today Wednesday 8th at 7:30 PM UTC start!

Edited May 8 by Alessus

[Alessus]

MD6 vs. Averygrumpydad and his Human team is done!
 

Stay on the lookout for another spontaneous OCC match upload later today!

[Alessus]

Here is the match that I decided to spontaneously stream, Group D MD6 Borke and his Warpstone Revenants Underworld vs. RTSD and his ChunderChugglers Chaos Pact!
 

 

If I have the time and there happens to be a game going on in OCC and both coaches agree to being streamed I might be doing that to more games this season, so look forward to that as well! Will probably do a "near the end of season roundup" video for my own division as well, but we'll see how things shake out.

[Alessus]

Extra special match stream today as we commentate one of the top clashes in the division where Corash and
his Dark Elves   Vicious Virtuosi go up against SnigerDK and his Black Orcs  The Boozy Bunch after which we also have a brief round-up of my thoughts on how the teams in the division are doing.
 

MD7 against Hyperbrain and his Shambling Undead  Teeth of Brass [OCC] has been scheduled for Thursday 16th 12:00 UTC!

Edited May 14 by Alessus

[Alessus]

MD7 has concluded for the team, with the following results:
 

MD8 against SnigerDK and his Black Orc  team The Boozy Bunch scheduled for Thursday 23rd 15:00 UTC! 

[Alessus]

Another match that I decided to commentate on a whim, where Leman_X_Russ and his Heisemer Boyz Orc team takes on the Children of Darkness Dark Elf team coached by Emilius
 

Since I seem to be doing this on a semi-regular basis now, if you have a match that you'd like me to stream, you can send me a DM about it and I'll see if it fits into my schedule!

[Alessus]

One last MD7 match that I decided to stream and commentate on where Filadeus and his Orc team 
Azog's Kin take on Bearded Beerchuggers (great name)  Dwarf team coached by Wenteros.

Something you didn't know while doing the recap is that I am Pybot's father in real life!

Interesting! Always good to see father and son share hobby interests.
