For a person who's not a part of our team, you sure seem to "know" a lot about our thought processes. First off, we did not make up our mind about 469 until late Friday night, long after match 100 took place. Anyone who actually knows our team, knows that we put a large emphasis on data analysis and scouting. We never make a decision without putting a huge amount of thought into it.

The 6v0 strategy played out in numerous matches, it was just never as effective and noticeable as it was in Match 100. I know our opponents actively scored for us in matches 8 and 17.

And I would have liked to have seen more class and sportsmanship in your post, but I guess that didn't happen either.
Frankly, I'm sick and tired of our team, our alliance and others being insulted and dragged through the mud on these forums. We've had to deal with people advocating throwing matches when playing with 1114 or 469, 469 has had to deal with people calling their design "cheating", and now we apparently lack class, sportsmanship and gracious professionalism. I really wish more of these people would have the courage to try and say these things to our faces, as opposed to doing it while hidden behind the curtain of the internet.
It's one thing to disagree with someone's strategy it's another thing to be downright insulting. Ah well, just time to add another one to the list.
