Wireplay has always been nice league to us. It's fairly automatic, like all leagues nowadays I guess and we have never had any problems with in there. We also like the unique scoring system that endorses tactics rather than than just playing blindfolded for 1 hour. When I was asked if AT wants to play in premiership for the season 9, I was quite skeptical but I took it as a challenge to play in the premiership for real for the first time. We had play few premiership matches in Vitality and PMTFCL but this time with our new lineup, we had some chances to succeed.

Season started with match against SCW. Against SCW we have always had problems with the match performance and whine and this match was no exception. We lost Monkey with one cap and won Waterfalls with one cap so it was tie by map and capwise. However, WPTFCL scoring system gave few points more to SCW so basically they won and we lost. Aftermaths were there with backtrack and win-at-all-cost accuses as normal against them.

Second match was against UK based League of Gentleman which was unknown opponent to us. Apparently we had pracced Emit_r more and we were able to win the round with two caps. Stowaway2 ended in draw so match was victory for us. This match was ruled invalid however as LoG was dropped out from the league by giving two defaults and playing the last match against RvR with just 4 players.

Season's third match was against french FCC, a very nice clan indeed. Last time they kicked our asses but now we were the one giving the spanking. ZaRaK made his first entréé in AT colors in this match I think and we gave them good ride in Chimkey and Hollow. In Hollow we used arro as offence sniper that worked out very well. Match score was highest in the whole premiership for the season giving us 8.46 points in total.

One the tightest matches was against Sw?. First round in Mortality had no captures at all and Openfire decided the winner. Sw? was able to fetch two caps and we only one so Sw? won. WPTFCL scoring system however gave them only few decimal points more. This match was highly flamed later as we used 3 HWG's in Openfire. Luckily no-one mentioned that Sw? started backtracking in Mortality as we got their flag too far from their FR. Even the multi talent Defrag himself decented from his ivory tower and shared his wrath against us, I think someone even lost his sleep for that !

MsA match was a bit dissappointment, allthough we got decent points from it. We were sure that we would win if not easily, then merely. 2fort ended to draw as swedes were able to cap three flags in a row and last cap was made just in time as there was few secs left. Those swedes... Never give up... ;)

The crucial last match was against ReaveR. We were able to hold them off pretty well in Shutdown2 letting them cap only once. Warping scout from RvR gave headaches to our defence and he was the key player why ReaveR even got that cap. Shutdown2 was lost and Torch2 started with ReaveR's fast cap. Match didn't look good until we started to own their asses in our base, middle field and on their base. Their play was screwed up and we started scoring. One player from ReaveR left and one player changed to sniper. I think he hit once. We won the match WPTFCL'wise allthough ReaveR doesn't admit it :P This match was one the most enjoyable I or the whole team has ever played.

On the last week we had no match as Hardc0re or [XXX] had dropped the league in the very start as they folded I guess. Our victory in the league was determined in RvR vs LoG match which was complete farce. Admins told LoG to sign up temporal players but LoG didn't want to use them. They played the match on LoG server with only 4 players and boy we had fun on that HLTV what was left on. Neither team knew we were there until it was too late. Comments like "dont tell admins we played with 4" and "finnish cunts" "win at all cost shit" and others made us laugh like not before. Somewhere on the second round both teams got info from IRC that AT players are speccing. All was lost as we handed demos to WPTFCL admins who ruled the match as invalid and penalized LoG. Later on ReaveR's captain, who is in fact an admin himself in other league, dared to say that "we were only joking" with those statements. ROFF :D

Anyway, after the admins decided what now is history. ReaveR's captain announced themselves as rightfull winners of the season and started the flames against WPTFCL and partly against us on three different TFC forums. Like always, arguing on the internet made them look even more retarted. Thats why we tried to avoid arquing until we had to say something for ourselves. What was left was hate, anger and flames and we were marked with "lamers" mark on our foreheads. Well, we have more important things in our lives than winning in computer games or minding about some doods opinion about us, especially when they don't know anyone of us so we didn't take it so seriously. We were warned from the LoG leader that "with win-at-all-cost attitude, AT will fold but we cannot see it coming". He also compared us to myg0t which we take gladly as a complement and laugh. Thanks for the spoiler sporty but we dont endorse [w@ac] tactics nor we have plans for folding anytime soon. That liner gave us good laugh to be honest.

Last but not least, here is our first trophy that is worth watching for. Not because we won the season but because it reminds us and hopefully you dear reader how childish and arrogent people might be on the internet and how everything has to be taken too damn seriously... Thanks for the whole team for this season.

Another episode was made in the finnish TFC history, let us continue to next seasons and give those doods something to whine about. For ReaveR, next time... Näyttäkää epäilijöille ;)
