I am quite aware haha. May have been exaggerating slightly

I just think people may be underestimating how big defense will effect matches this year especially in elims. It's just been a long time (if ever, not a game i can think of) since there has been a game with two primary ways to score with only one of them being protected. And the one that is is what some would consider less advantageous.

I think we may see a fuel alliance beat a gear alliance. The distance to travel to collect gears and score them is somewhat large as well as blocked by obstacles. Some of the lifts are somewhat hard to see and the peg is not exactly the biggest target. Mix some or two robots in playing defense I think some interesting things could happen.
