Top four and in 4th place vs Crackshot Tie Swarm

Loss 100 to 22

Man, that Crackshot tie swarm was so tough, it was also the first time I had played against it. I think I played wrong against it as I couldn't figure out how to adapt to it. I slammed at the wrong times and got punished by all those shots and rerolls.

Ello got hammed both times without being able to give anything in return. So, any advice ladies and gents?

Looking back now I should've not slammed and tried just TLTing the crap out of one at a time, I dunno lol
