I have to say, that both 114 and ourselves underestimated the power of ramps. We thought that an alliance of two powerful tube-scorers would make for an easy victory.
However 60 points is hard to beat when you're constantly being battered by defensive lifters (like 488)  |
Yeah, definitely need to improve your scouting system. I remember Andrew standing there with a pile of papers with random scouting data, where as I had a nice half sheet of paper with two columns for ramp and scoring bots.
I've been watching matches off of TBA (which rocks by the way!) and I've noticed a couple methods that hardcore scoring alliances have pulled through victories versus ramp bot alliance that we did not do at SVR. One hint: Aim High
Can't wait for Davis, its gonna rock. My personal goal is to average over 4 ringers scored per match throughout the weekend, and maybe even get a keeper or two on
See you all in a week and a half!
