So the previous part was about our first playoff run. We lost but at least we made the playoffs. We know what the experience is like to be in the playoffs and that is good enough. We knew we would not make it to the Ultimus unless the wraith actually played like shit and we outperform them but that did not happen and we move on. We learned from that season with other teams getting worse from regression like the wraith and Philly, we get better. S9 was the season where we have hope for our Ultimus run. We are ready for that run for the championship.
So what did Baltimore do with some of the signings? Well, we signed Willie to a big fat contract and he deserves it to be honest. With 900 million dollars in S19 which was lit. And we brought in some inactives that will us this season and those are good additions to a team that is trying to win the championship. And really we were a perfectly solid team where everyone got better except some old players but it was not too bad. I felt like after what happened the previous season with the shit luck and slumps, we will be one of the best teams and it sounded crazy but I have belief. But beware. NOLA was there. Arguably the best team in league history. S9 NOLA.
And here we were, the start of the S9 season finally and we were very excited. And as I predicted at the time, we had another hot start. Starting 3-0 once again. But we were playing 3 trash teams cause the wraith was not good, Arizona was not good and the Yeti will, they were good but we were a better team. We beat teams where were the favourites to win and we did not screw that up at all. Beating the Wraith 27-20 in our first game and really it was a clutch game because we were down 20-10 entering thee 4th quarter so it was a huge comeback for us thanks to both our offence defence and special teams. Then the second game was our most difficult game of those 3 games and it was our biggest win because we destroyed the yeti 41-6. Our offence did their thing and scoring runs with touchdowns and field goals and our defence was the best of the game where they did not allow a single touchdown against the Yeti which was huge and it was a great win. And then the game against Arizona, another great game from our defence. Austin Roenick was once again racking up the tackles and pass deflections which is he very good at.
Then the following week, we faced the otters. And we lost. It was not even a close game, they just outplayed us in every category. Basically, the otters were our nightmare and they were just too strong for us which is something we cannot let happen because we are trying to win a championship here and if we ran into them in the playoffs, we cannot lose.
Then we won the next two games against San Jose and Philly and they were easy wins for us and we did not deserve any losses.
Then we faced our biggest competition really. NOLA was rising like we were and they were the best team in the opposite conference. Really, they were the best team ever. Their roster was incredible. I thought this would be an Ultimus preview here. First game between the hawks and NOLA and we won that game. 38-23 was the score and we gave them no hope that game and it was so good to feel because that showed us that we had that chance to beat them in the future like the playoffs. They were so dominant in the past games but we won this game. Even though Roenick played like shit, Blocksdale, Willie, and Rove all came in elite. Also, we won that game because bovo played like shit so it was pretty much fucked for NOLA that game. Then we won the next 3 games against the wraith, Arizona and the yeti. Just like the first three games, it was not close and we were the clear favourites in these games as well. So we were on a 6 game win streak and we were having a 9-1 record which was the best conference and at the top in the league and we knew, this was our season. Even though NOLA was so dominant, I had belief. Then we played the otters and we lost which pissed me off. Our defence just could not stop the otters' offence which made me fume. We moved on. Then the next two games, we bummed San Jose and Philly and really, it was not fair because they were shit. Then the last game of the season was against NOLA. We got bummed.
We finished the season with an 11-3 record and really, the best team in the conference and the 2nd best in the league behind the dangerous NOLA squad. So our NSFC match up was the Yeti. I thought, well we kicked their ass in the regular season in both games so really, we should be able to kick their ass in the playoffs as well. And I was shocked to know that we did not. But we won. But we almost lost. Our defence was shit but out offence was thankfully not. After a shit 1st quarter, we then get them hard. 5 touchdowns that whole game which is absolutely insane. But we let the Yeti score 34 which should be allowed here. But credit to Yeti for keeping it a close game and their hard work. Then we play NOLA in the ultimus final who blew out the otters which is big to say because this may be the best team ever.
I had hope because we beat them before so I thought, well we can beat them again.
We did not. We lost and NOLA won the championship, we did not.
Next part is our revenge against NOLA.
