To be brutally honest, there isn’t a lot to be said about this game tactically. In fact, this graphic pretty much sums it up: On the left are shots, on the right is the heatmap. The Legion is at...
OK, it’s only 3 hours till the next game starts but better late than never, right? Fortunately, as it turns out, despite the fact that the Loyal was probably the toughest opponent the Legion has...
