Super Bowl
Away vs Home
gamerforlifeforever (2) vs MattyIce (1)


3rd Place Matchup
Vanelan (6) vs Kruzer (4)

This very long tournament is almost over but it needs to have MattyIce a user declared the winner first.

MattyIce :
gamerforlifeforever :
You guys can do your matchup whenever you want. If I'm available I'll stream but if not, no big deal.

Vanelan :
Kruzer :
You guys can either play as the pro bowl teams or as the regular teams in your 3rd place matchup.

gamerforlifeforever : Aight gamer. Good luck to you in advance! Here's my schedule for this week in eastern time zone.

Wednesday - Friday: 10a - 3p
Saturday: 5p - 12a

I also could play Sunday night but I'd rather not, since the Falcons are in the Super Bowl this year.

Vanelan : Well the PS Netplay Tournament also started this week, so I'll go ahead and post the same times. Hopefully it won't be a problem to schedule a time for both occasions. Here they are in Central Time:

Wednesday and Thursday: 2PM - 12AM
Friday and Saturday: 11AM - 3PM
Sunday: 12PM - 5PM
Monday: 12PM - 11PM
Tuesday: 12PM - 2PM

Let me know when you can schedule our match.

MattyIce : I can do either Wednesday at 2 PM ET, or Saturday at 8 PM ET.

Davideo7 : Will you be able to stream at either of those times?

gamerforlifeforever : I'd be at work at that time on Saturday and I'd still be asleep at that time on Wednesday.

Davideo7 : Would you be able to stream at all on Saturday night between 8 and midnight ET, or would you still be working?

gamerforlifeforever : Hey let's do Saturday night then, since that'll be more of a "prime time" feel. And possibly there may be more of a chance of people who'd want to watch then.

Kruzer : Saturday is no good for me, possibly Sunday or Monday could work.
Any times you prefer on Sunday?
Or any time after 4CST on Monday you prefer?

Vanelan : How about Monday at 6PM CST? That would be an ideal time for me.

gamerforlifeforever : I'd be at work. Like I said, we don't have to work around my schedule since I have a small window of availability. You guys can play without me being there.

Davideo7 : Ok. It stinks that we've all got such different availability times, but regardless, I hope I can prove you wrong this week and bring down the king.

MattyIce : 8 it is then. I was just waiting on David to respond, but as you've probably noticed, he won't be able to join us.

Alright, so Gamer and I had our championship match tonight. I changed it up this time and chose the Patriots, and he chose the Bengals. Gamer had the ball first and drove into my territory, but I was able to hold him to a punt. I take my first possession for a TD and made it 7-0. Then I picked him off on the next possession, but he held me to a FG that made it 10-0. Next possession, he had a nice drive that resulted in a TD to make it 10-7. I'm not sure if it was the very next 2 possessions, but we traded TDs before the 2nd quarter ended to make it 17-14 at halftime. I took my first possession of the 2nd half for a TD to make it 24-14. I think I held him to a punt on his first possession of the 2nd half, but I fumbled deep in my own territory on the ensuing drive, which he turned into a TD on a play that I decided to try to blitz with the player I was using, but he burned me on a pass to AJ Green to bring it back to a one score game 24-21. Late in the 3rd gamer fumbled in his own territory, and I was able to run some clock going into the 4th quarter. I scored another TD on that drive to make it 31-21. And I was finally able to hold him on downs late in the game and finally run the clock out.

So I won my 3rd straight TSB tourney with the final score of 31-21. I love playing in this tournament because each year I'm presented with a new challenge. As always, I'm looking forward to next year's tournament!

Here's the screenshot of the score...



In our previous match, he ran all over my defense. So this time I was able to hold him to 0 yards rushing, but I paid for it by allowing 300+ yards through the air.

MattyIce : The fumble occurred with a little over a minute to go in the 4th quarter, not the 3rd. Also, I never turned it over on downs.

Anyways, while I'm of course disappointed in the final outcome, it was a fun game. I knew you were going to choose the Pats after your post in the Playoffs Round 3 thread, and I prepared for that accordingly. NeverthelessI didn't expect my run game to be so ineffective. Having to change my gameplan up to the pass presented me with a new challenge, and even though I wasn't able to pull off the victory, I think I handled the situation well. Anyways, congratz on your win, and hopefully the Falcons will be able to win the Super Bowl.

I'm going to try uploading the video, but I can't make any promises since the new video uploader isn't working right.

gamerforlifeforever : Ok, sorry. I tried to remember all I could lol But hopefully it'll work when u upload the video.

I picked the Pats purely as a strategic move since u ran it pretty well with them against me last time. I was honestly scared that you'd use the Pats and Blount again, so I did the only thing I could. You did handle it well, though, since I couldn't stop u through the air.

And yes, now the attention turns to tomorrow and the Falcons. Hopefully, they can end this magical season with a happy ending.

MattyIce : Congrats on your 3rd win streak bro!
I shall now present to you the Epic Badge of Weesum!


You earned it!

Kruzer : That'll work.
Meet me in netplay chat then.

Don't beat me too badly ^^;

Vanelan and I had our match. I won 49 - 7



I have a feeling that Vanelan was conceding the match late in the 2nd half. At first, it looked like his controls weren't working but I see now that he was giving up. I wasn't sure if he was tricking me or not. Hell, after watching Super Bowl LI, ANYTHING is possible. No matter how bad the game looks.

Final matchup over. Posting results now.
