I like Totalbiscuit but im told his style is Zerg. If this is true then he isn’t what the TR needs. Anyone can win a battle with overwhelming forces but a good leader can take what he has and determine best how to use it to influence the fight/war.

Let me just say that my server is crying out for a good leader! (Zerg tactic or not).

Heh, at least we're not the DVS...

Just got on Amerish this morning, and when they finally realise the Terran rush was about to capture it they came back in force.

If the enemy indicator is anywhere near accurate, I estimate the NC had nearly THREE HUNDRED players at time, around half the Continent population, and TWO-THIRD of it was concentrated on two bases...

Since I KNOW the regular Zerg would have spread MUCH farther out then that for easy caps, I can assume the DVS had herded them all to those TWO bases...

It's (loosly called) organized zerg. They still win only due numbers and 'determination'. I know that because Enclave does the same no Mattherson. If one squad is not enough, send a platoon. If one platoon is not enough, send two.

Because bases are not meant to be defensible if you don't have equal or greater number of troops at a base, you can just fall back to not feed them ego and kills.

As T-Ray said on Twitter '@seananners @planetside2 u really need to get your game up.'

SeaNanners live stream 27th December

Seriously though devs - this guy needs to get seriously hooked up with a proper outfit to teach him how to play on the server that the event will be on. He's obviously not even played the game before and he's getting put up on a pedestal to lead the empire!
