i got tired

[Jon Abad]

I've always been on the fence for this game... I normally play a fairly sizeable role in my team's scouting efforts but this year it didn't feel interesting so i sat back. Once we classified a team's skills, we knew exactly how to work with them and more importantly what they were capable of against us.

While the eliminatory game was kind of interesting, the qualifiers were boredom incarnate. I'm pretty sure i'm regurgitating earlier discussions here so i'll summarize: In the elimination matches, there is a winner and loser... people have something to lose even if the other guys aren't on the field at the same time. In the qualifiers, you're fighting the intangible forces of random things like how a goal's casters are positioned (which decides the direction its gonna go when you push it and so it gets stuck on the bridge... you see where i'm going)

Anyways... Lets go back to in-game on-the-fly strategies as opposed to the pre-planned flight plans of this year.
