Damn, I love the DH roster but I'm gonna have to go for Instinct on this one. Lunchbox and Roy are the fking brobots

[Makin]

Ahhhhhhhh I wish I had the stream!! FAIL on my part!

[Smallz08]

This is going to be so epic the world might actually explode!

[Steam]

Well instinct shouldn't have an advantage quad hosting.....

[MichaelMongrel]

Well instinct shouldn't have an advantage quad hosting.....

I'm sure Darkest Hour has been aware of this since the beginning. They'll be prepared.

I have to root for my team, Instinct, but I really do like this Darkest Hour team.

[Mr P]

Well instinct shouldn't have an advantage quad hosting.....

Actually We Have Not Pulled Host In The Last 4 GB Matches, Im Sure Goofy Will Pull Host. But Hopefully DH Will Be Able To Come To The Next LAN And Then We All Will Have An Even Playing Field !!

[Shelly]

Can't wait for this! Should be a good match.

[Morgacht]

[SaucyNomad]

I would love to, but my TLN account was suddenly downgraded to a free account despite the fact that 5.99 was taken out of my account on the 19th. If someone responds to my PM's or emails maybe I'll get to watch it :)


I heart TLN

I was going to post this if someone else didn't! People are just completely ignorant and think that Instinct can quad-host when LBX has not been at the gaming house for at least some of the matches in question... And that it's the only reason they've won the games...

Anyways I really hope this match takes all 5 games because I love watching high-level play like this!

Pay close attention to 1:07-1:27 and about 5:30....if your sitting across from Naded at either one of these times, your literally shitting yourself, this man is a monster that needs to be unchained so he can have free reign over MLG.

I have been asking them, but they have a few really young players on there team and they have a hard time going to LAN's ?

[ITCHY]

Yes! This is on my day off so I can definitely tune in.

[Steam]

Yeah I think Amish is like 14 or something. At least you are trying to set up what we want to see.

[Smallz08]

That really is unfortunate because I think that would be really entertaining to watch!

[RagingChickens]

Let's go Instinct! This is going to be the first real taste of competition in Reach from a real tournament between two top teams! I am so excited!!!

[Antidote]

I can't believe I'm going to miss this :/

[mitchneo]

[Chicken]

I'm excited for this match.

[KRILLIN]

Super XCiting!

[N!TRO]

Instinct FTW!

[shrEd Gein]

Game 1 - Countdown CtF
Game 2 - Reflection TS
Game 3 - Zealot Territories
Game 4 - Sanctuary CtF
Game 5 - Sanctuary TS

Well these seem to be the gametype's set up by GB. I wonder if they will agree to swap out Reflection TS.
But I think Instinct is taking this 3-1 with a loss coming from the Countdown CtF game.

From my understanding, DH wants to keep Reflection TS.

Instinct 3-1

[RagingChickens]

From my understanding, DH wants to keep Reflection TS.

Who in their right mind would want to play Reflection TS? That doesn't even make sense.

Thanks :)

Ok so Classic, SYA, DH, and Instinct are the remaining teams.

I think classic is the worst of the four. I haven't really watched them play so I'm just judging by my gut feeling. The top 3 teams right now in the league in my opinion are sya, dh, and instinct. FB is fourth just because who they are, not actually based on performance.

A little surprised sya got beat by dh. My remaining predictions: SYA vs Instinct. Instinct to win it all. I really hope Instinct wins because they are the biggest promoter of tln in my opinion. SYA, Instinct, and DH are very close in potential so it's hard to say for sure though.

[KRILLIN]

I'm really hoping Instinct wins even though it's hard for me to pull against Twylight.

[HEA7]

I have mad respect for Instinct, but i honestly dont see them beating DH today. I predict that Classic will beat SYA then beat Instinct in loser finals. Finally DH will beat Classic.

Summing it up
1st: Darkest Hour
2nd: Classic
3rd: Instinct
4th Sicker Than Your Average

[aSAB3R]

should be a great match. hopefully ill be able to catch it

Sorry, but Classic got 3-0 by Reality Check so here is my picks.
1.Instinct
2.Sicker than your average
3.Darkest
4.Classic.

[Dust]

1.Instinct
2.DH
3.SyA
4.Classic

[HEA7]

classic just beat legendz who is a MUCH better team than Reality Check. All teams have a bag game or two.

[ThaWalk]

T2 ftw lets go Instinct

[KRILLIN]

Is it Monday yet? I hate waiting!

[System]

Actually We Have Not Pulled Host In The Last 4 GB Matches, Im Sure Goofy Will Pull Host. But Hopefully DH Will Be Able To Come To The Next LAN And Then We All Will Have An Even Playing Field !!
Exactly what I was gunna say Mr. P, good call!
EDIT: I'm pretty sure the reason Classic got 3-0d by RC was because they didn't show up.

[KRILLIN]

There's no way RC is better so I bet you're right.

[Kamikazeewoks]

Let's go T2!!!

[Makin]

OMG OMG OMG this is gonna be epic!!!!

[EGOisSICK]

I really want DH to win. Mostly because I <3 the underdogs. So far DH only dropped 1 game. Instinct dropped 3. Lets be honest Instinct had a harder bracket.
So, instinct 3-2...I just wanna see game 5 :)

[Zytrax]

I would like to know, when the match starts for us Europeans (with the timezone GMT +1) ? I am really bad with times, but I can't decide whether it's 02:00 or 03:00 am it starts (our time).

If someone could help that would be appreciated.

[HavkinKnight]

What time is it tonight is it 8?

[KRILLIN]

Can't wait to see this! PUMPED!!!

[peterofpain]

can we have a game summary and series score after every game?

[TechSlayer]

This sucks I want both to win. :'[

[KRILLIN]

Stream is on in case you guys didn't know. Let's go big daddy T!

[darkon124]

any update plz??? i cant watch the stream ( no credit card) thx!!!

[Dust]

2-1 Darkest Hour

[RagingChickens]

Well good try Instinct, fight through LB!

[darkon124]

is it over???

[Nv1ncible]

is it over???

Yeah, DH won 3-1. Instinct won Territories on Zealot, but lost CTF Countdown, CTF Sanctuary, and TS Reflection.

[KRILLIN]

Good games. I really thought Instinct was gonna pull it off when they got the flag all the way back to their base. DH has some sick nades!

[Nv1ncible]

Yeah, when Roy got flag through their doorway, I thought they'd get the cap for sure. There were a few times that they had flag out and had a nice set up, but DH just plays so fast. They were able to make some huge stops.

[darkon124]

wow i also predicted instinct... i think DH will improve their 12 seed really fast :P

[iHooligan]

Anyone know the Instinct SyA gametypes. Hoping for no Reflection.

[KRILLIN]

Anyone know the Instinct SyA gametypes. Hoping for no Reflection.

Haha yeah, Reflection isn't their strong suit. I'm sure they don't worry about it much since it will be gone.

[chris_cr33p]

Darkest hour beat instinct in the 10k ladder :(


http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/PlayerGameHistory.aspx?player=Instinct%20LBX

pretty bad too :( lameeee

[DaMuSiCFiEnD]

i logged in to see the stream and it was over :(

[Imp3nded]

Fluke fluke fluke fluke

[chris_cr33p]

i no :( it sucks

[HEA7]

3-1 aint no fluke my friend.

[Dust]

3-1 aint no fluke my friend.

well, they played reflection

[HEA7]

what about ctf count and ctf sanc. Those aint flukes at all. So even if you take out reflection, the series score would still be 2-1

[HavkinKnight]

CTF count was freakin close bro. could have gone eather way!

[Dust]

ok whos to say they wouldn't have won a different gametype other than reflection and tied it 2-2 then won 3-2, too close to just say that DH was in another league than instinct

why are you hating on instinct so badly?

[iHooligan]

Every game was close other than Reflection Slayer, I'm hoping LBF against SyA does not have Reflection.

[HavkinKnight]

i feel like we will have a Rematch

[chris_cr33p]

i hope instinct learns from the loss. i hope they arent cocky

[KRILLIN]

It's not over yet boys and girls.

[KRILLIN]

I feel a lot of people are jumping on the DH Bandwagon after that win. I remember 95% of the chat before tonight was Riding Instinct. And now a tonne of people became DH fans over night and are doubting Instinct. I have said it from the start, I thought DH was going to beat Instinct in THIS MATCH. DH was very well prepared.

I, However, think Instinct will Bounce back in Losers bracket finals and will face DH again in the finals. And that, my friends, will be ONE HELL OF A SERIES.

Anytime anything happens in Halo everyone thinks they know everything.

[Gweedo888]

I have to agree with the band waging jumping lol but it happens in every sport hell look at the saints lol ....however I am a huge instinct fan and can't wait for the rematch espically cause I should be buying my premium here very soon ...thank u Pell money lol

[KRILLIN]

Krillin, I understand your comment, but I'm not sure if you're directing it at me or just directly saying it to the community.

I'm referring to the bandwagon folk.

[Makin]

I like band wagons they are very good transports.....oh wait wrong thread jumpers suck!

[HEA7]

1st off, i aint no bandwaggoner, u guys were all flaming me for being a DH fan way before the game started :) And to whoever said i was hating on Instinct, its not that i dont like Instinct, its just that i want DH to win. I hope INST beats SYA so i can watch DH beat them again tho :P hahaha jk but still, good luck to Instinct in LBFinals

[forefront]

No one was flaming you for being a DH fan Hea7. They were just claiming an Instinct win, like you were claiming a DH win. Also, Instinct WOULD have won Sanc Flag if they would start pulling the flag away from the spawn instead of right into it. They did it twice in that game before DH got their first cap, and I've seen them do it before. I don't understand why they keep going the wrong direction with it. Sanc is the easiest map to predict spawns in this game.

[Kwame]

3-1 aint no fluke my friend.

DH #1 fan right here /\ Dude was rooting hard in the stream chat!

[RagingChickens]

The way I see it, rooting against Instinct openly and wanting them to lose in front of the TLN community is basically disrespectful. This site consists of a largely Instinct based fan population. I am a Final Boss fan but I still root for Instinct when they are playing. Even against Final Boss, I would not holler and cheer for Final Boss when everyone else wants Intstinct to win. It is just respect and I think some people lack that.

To be honest if i was at a gaints game and they were playing the bears, i would still cheer my butt off for the bears even thou everyone there wants the Gaints to win..

[Volg]

Well DH has beaten Instinct everytime.......ONLINE, so it is definitley not a fluke that they did it again.

[Nv1ncible]

I wouldn't overlook SyA if I was Instinct. This is a huge match tonight.

Ya this made no sense if you like a team, go to an opposing teams home game playing them you root for the home team?? Hell no you still root for the team you have always rooted for. It's not disrespectful...

haha you better believe I'll be hollering and cheering for FB. Sorry Instinct. 7 years of allegiance runs DEEP! (Referring to Ogre 2)

[SaLoT]

A true fan is there besides who is on the team.
Me personally i like instinct for what the bring to the table and what they represent.

Totz- Respectful, Hard worker, dedicated and puts up with more crap then most people on here.
T2- Respectful and only pro to ever thank me in match making beside goofy for onslaught.
Roy- He strives for excellence despite what he is put up against and Despite the the odds he never backs down
Lunch box- One of the only pro players that actually invited me to run MM with him.

See this is what makes a team, respect hard work and integrity.

This is why Instinct is my No 1 in my Book.

Encore, Encore! haha

I didn't think Instinct would win this but at least they didn't get shut out. Goofy online is the ultimate gamer.


I'll be checking out the SYA game tonight, should be really competitive!
