OGRLLfFC Recaps - Week 1
Week 1 Recap
Illegal Engine (1-0) vs. 20,000 Rockets Under the League (0-1)
The inaugural match of the OGRLLfFC was a nail biter; A match with all the intensity and tension of a late playoff round. Colorado’s Illegal Engine emerged with a 2 games to 1 victory of New Jersey’s 20k Rockets Under the League in a match where every game was decided by a single goal.
The clock joined Illegal Engine in Game 1 when it ticked down to zero moments before the ball could trickle into their empty net and force sudden death overtime. 20k Rockets bounced back immediately with a 4-3 Game 2 victory. Game 3 looked to be a blowout in favor of Illegal Engine when they jumped ahead to an early 4-1 lead. 20k Rockets clawed back into it but could only muster a second and third goal before the final horn.

Team Red Panda (1-0) vs. Hobo Annihilators (0-1)
Team Red Panda came into Monday’s match as the self-proclaimed favorites to win the OGRLLfFC.
“It shouldn’t be long before our inevitable victory is apparent”, boasted Red Panda’s Ebinkar. Red Panda’s Bajamba expressed his agreement by eating a burrito somewhere in the background. “We’re really looking forward to [playing Illegal Engine] in round 7, but everything should be settled by then anyway”.
Perhaps feeling a bit pressured to live up to the hype, or perhaps compensating for something else, OHM Gaming’s California bad boys delivered a 9-1 shellacking to Maryland’s Hobo Annihilators in Game 1. Annihilators were forced to play without star forward Alphashock, instead calling up ddoubledub from their minor league affiliate “Homeless Humidifiers” to drive alongside FiraOmega. True to his name, ddoubledub contributed both Hobo goals in the match, striking once in Game 1, and once in their 4-1 Game 2 defeat.
