Re: How to win Steamworks? (Weeks 1/2)

-Strategies are not worth much speculation as it will depend heavily on the teams involved in a particular situation
-See above
-Getting 4x rotors turning in weeks 1 and 2 will be a rare event. In all of 2016 the eliminations tower capture average was about 30%... I expect the average of 4-rotor success will be significantly lower than 30% for weeks 1-2 of Steam Works.
-Top ranked alliances will be a mixed bag. Teams that can rank effectively may not always have the potency to survive in eliminations. Their effectiveness will depend heavily on getting a 3rd pick that can reliably climb. Other top-ranked teams will transition nicely to eliminations and dominate, even with a weak 2nd pick.

Looking at what is often predicted on CD vs the actual results in years past I am highly skeptical of the optimistic predictions in this thread.
