Wintergrasp Offense, but you LOSE the SR teamfight

Hey, so after my last Wintergrasp video, I got a lot of questions about what to do if one loses the fight at SR. Well the video is finally made! Enjoy!

As you can see, Wintergrasp Offense is not as unbeatable as many people believe. The first teamfight is highly overrated, and only serves to make or break “morale.” It ain’t over till it’s over!

Nope! SR fight is overrated, like the video shows!

Can you just write a TLDR instead of posting your vid?

Get rank 2, go BT, break upper right wall on west side, shoot over second layer of walls, and win.
Some folks are visual learners.

This is why I love you.

ive lost a few games after winning SR fight as defense.

what usually happens is the attacking team gets BT and zergs the west wall and the bad defense team is too busy wasting time down at eastspark.

I’ve won my last few games despite losing SR fight.

It can be done!

if you dont take bt right after sr its over.

I’ve lead plenty of wins where we just adapt after losing SR. Key is herding them cats.

It was streamed live.
While I’m streaming, I notice games that might make good YouTube videos, so I turn them into videos later.

LOL? Highly unlikely. I’ve been in his groups many times and he does not “stage” anything. Nobody can do that in an epic. What a dumb comment.

but a premade is a different animal if its a pug lose sr its game over

if you lose sr and dont have bt its over.

If you lose BT, then you should recap BT.
BT, if lost, isn’t lost forever. You can recap.

Didn’t you post this like 2 months ago?Bumping your own thread for likes is pretty sad.If a group can’t win WG then they need to rethink the startegy instead of quitting,

Premades ruing bg’s one at a time.Good job folks.

Yes defensive team will usually rush down to the south side to take out towers and people don’t like listening to calls for an early cap of BT so losing the SR fight but gaining rank is a good opportunity for an early BT rush. People underestimate how fast a train of even just 3-5 demos can bring down a wall. Even a moderate vehicle train can be in the main courtyard before most of the defensive team realises what’s going on let alone making it back across the map to base. In the horde BG communities I refer to a west-side push while the defence are distracted as “Plan B”.

Caveat: it rarely works. It’s rare to have a team that’s both bad enough to lose SR but good enough to listen to instructions and quickly get to BT for the vehicle train. But I have won WG matches this way before that we would have otherwise lost. Even if the offense is stalled on east side for some reason attacking west with 3-5 demos from BT is a great way to threaten inner courtyard before defence reacts as they are all clumped on east side.

Another tip for people on offense: remember that demolishers are ranged. You can attack a wall from far away. Most of the time you’ll want the added damage of melee Ram but if the defence are entrenched and the strong AoE classes are cleaving down the clumps of demos coming in, it really disrupts things to be the one lone demo off to the side especially since, no offense, the average epic BG player is playing super zoomed in with default UI and no nameplates. You can also shoot over the west/east outer courtyards at the main entrance. Again I’ve turned possible losses into wins this way.
