As cyberjoek posted in the tread "Week 1 Scoring Breakdown", there were significantly more minibot deployments after lunch than before. I personally missed some of the regionals, but what I saw was everytime a team deployed a minibot successfully, they won. however, after lunch, the margin by which they won became smaller and smaller, due to an increase in minibot effectiveness to close off a match. I think that as the season progresses, more and more minibots will be deployed, and their effectiveness will decease, but they will be all the more critical to winning matches.
What does everyone think of the view on "defense will be attempted but not really an optimal strategy", as this seemed to be a prevalent view prior to the start of regionals?
