Current State of the EPIC East vs. W ...
[seriously]
Perhaps if at official end of game, the East/West forums could be made public so if someone was interested enough, they can look at the level of analysis and factors focused on at turning points.
It might also help set a standard in future team matches. Not necessarily sponsored regional epic undertakeings like this, but more like collegiate intramurals - a few rag-tag pick-up teams who want to punish themselves for 9 mos or so for no corporeal reward.

After this thread was originally created, I joined one of the teams (and the League) near the end of the game just to see the thought processes of the team, not intending to contribute at all. At that point I was full on addicted to the game, finishing 20-25 games per day on two accounts, grinding legions of random players. I have to admit I read through the entire team forum thread at least 2-3 times. It was a great read, and if it becomes public record it's definitely a must read for anyone who is intellectually stimulated by this game.
Sadly, real life caught up to me soon afterwards (a stork flew in) and I had to cut my involvement in the game down to nearly 0, but I still monitor this thread and the team thread every once in a while.
I'm hoping both threads eventually become accessible to everyone, in part because selfishly I desperately want a chance to read the other team's discussion thread as well. :)
They are! We're working out the comments now, but when it's done I'll be posting it up as a blog post. :) Hopefully with post game commentary!
Council's earlygame is kinda.. mindblowing :)

Seriously. Was there any general CL rule of thumb that we didn't break? ;D
Desperate draws call for desperate measures.
Alright all! The game has finally ended, but the commentary has just begun! It's now live on my blog at http://omvm.blogspot.sg/2013/02/eastdw-v-west-cl-team-game-replay.html.
Some really fancy footwork in this game !You can read the players picking over the game and telling you why they did what they did. =)

Thanks for the blog Tabby, good work. Thanks to the commentators as well. I enjoyed the last bit of the game I was involved with (except the losing part) :)
Thanks for the work to make the blog, Tabby! You know, this might warrant a thread of its own, so it gets more attention?
Like I mentioned above, I'd be interested in doing an analysis as well. Always seemed fun, and I never remember to take screenshot logs of my own games (also I never know in advance which might be good). So if there was a really interesting game that has a full screenshot log, that could be fun.
