Soooooooo… had this scenario just last evening. A guy with the screen name Low Mercy Josh on Ps4, who I’ve faced several times, finds me destroying medkits on Excavation at the little tent behind the atvs. Hes Dutch. He pulls his knife and crouches for peace.
‘Ok’, I think. I crouch back. Then he swings the knife as he crouches. I took this as ‘Duel me.’ I was correct. I accepted. We each land a few swings and out of the bushes springs his team, guns-a-blazing! I escaped narrowly and healed. He tracked me down despite me moving several times (cloak my ass!) And begins tossing grenades at me in a tree!
‘Ok, fucker’, I think as I drop in and lay waste to him and claim him. Just then, his team catches up and opens fire. I escape again and heal up. I return and catch the beefy Support alone and claim him too. Just then the 2 Assaults call for reinforcement. I catch them and sword-pwn them both. I win, nearly dead and the match ends.
LMJ gets on his mic finally and yells GG. He means it. It was an odd, very close 6+ minutes for us all. I finally get my mic hooked up and ask if he had been setting a trap for me. I suspected as much but he says no. Then the screen cuts out to the title. Im inclined to believe him as I dont think he was part of a pre-made any time I’ve fought him. I think his teammates just saw a golden opportunity at a possible easy win and took it. Granted it didn’t pan out for them.
Every time I face this guy, he seems overcome with the desire to duel. Not sure why, but just because LMJ wanted to have an honorable 1 on 1, does not mean anyone else does. That’s the lesson here. Slaughter FT like pigs, because almost always they’ll do that to you.
LMJ, you are worthy prey. Fuck the rest of your team though.
