On the 3rd day of the group stages, /tesg/ played the second match of the day against /mcg/ in Group I. This was a disastrous debut for the team. The team conceded two goals in the first half, and were unable to regain any ground in the second half. Much like the Thalmor Invasion of the Empire, the Brown Bricks of /mcg/ crushed any hopes of a MostDangerousLead comeback and a fatal goal occurred from Autism at 58 minutes. Changes were made to the team to try and stem the bleeding, with only a single goal following from MotM, Dedotated Wam (7.5), suggesting the changes could have had some effect. Truly a grim showing from /tesg/.
/tesg/ played their second game on the 5th day of VGL 11, against /rsg. Despite a strong showing from /tesg/, they were unable to beat ur bad's impeccable goal-keeping. Every shot on target was caught by the /rsg/ keeper. Misfortune piled on misfortune, as "HALT!" made a terrible clearance by kicking the ball into the back of Stealth Archer which allowed for Slayerscape to convert /rsg/'s first shot of the game into an easy goal. This goal was followed by a second four minutes later from Thok after Pelinal pulled a Neymar instead of clearing the ball. While /tesg/ continued to make many shots in the second half, the lack of substitutions for the team did not help the tired players convert any of those shots into crucial goals. Despite winning by 2 goals, it was /rsg/'s ur bad who claimed the MotM title with a (7.0) for holding /tesg/ to a second scoreless appearance. Following the second cursed game, /tesg/ now require a win of at least 4 goals in the final match of Group I in addition to /mcg/ blowing out /rsg/ as they have done in their first 2 games.
Despite a victory from /mcg/ against /rsg/, Azura did not favour /tesg/ in their match with /vitagen/. The team secured their first goal from a corner taken by Hodd Toward which resulted in a successful header into the net for M'aiq at 17 minutes, but this euphoria was short-lived. /vitagen/ responded swiftly with an answering goal in less than a minute, and /tesg/ found themselves drawn. The team could not successfully penetrate /vitagen/'s defence for the rest of the first half, and were down by a goal at the half after High Impact Sexual Violence managed a second. The team came a bit more to life in the second half, with "HALT!" in red condition carrying the defence at several points. /tesg/ nearly matched /vitagen/ for shots by the end of the game, and outplayed them in passing, but those statistics were for nought as they could neither secure an equaliser or their advancement from the group stage. Losing 2-1, /tesg/ are the front-runners for the VGL 11 spoon, with a tragic -8 GD.
