ATN CW Report : Illyria v. Syndicate

كتب بواسطة b0nker2, 12.02.2014 at 07:08

@ Alex. It is all a matter of opinion, just because there are traditionally strong picks does not mean they are the best for everyone. I imagine for example someone like Thunder is more experienced playing DS Ukraine over say GC or PD Ukraine. Call that BS if you want, but it is about your own strengths country and strategy not just down to maths and country choices.

Anyway moving on from that to some actual analysis,

Laochra - first turn could have been better, I see that he didn't want to risk a some kind of Rome strategy from the other side but feel he could have taken advantage of the minimal threat there. Attempting to wall rome at least or taking outer cities also could have been interesting. Nonetheless cautious play is good and clearly payed off long term.

Deo - did well nice aggressive play although I feel like this was not the initial plan, perhaps he was to stall whilst spart and clovis cleaned up.

Spart -The real problem in picking RNW is that it forces Ukraine to rush someone as is shown. Saying that Sparts initial plan was ok just made some strange choices, Belguim for example, looks like he was unlucky not to recap also.

Acqui - You can tell the experience in his timings for appropriate walls and rushes.

Joed - Did what was needed in this situation, trading off at least one player, good idea to take the richer of the two.

Clovis - maybe a victim of the plan going bad, took a lot out of him troop wise taking Joed, with Deo surviving longer maybe could have made a comeback, was ok tho.

My opinion on the match.

Seriously. No offense, Tunder sucks at EVERYTHING. He plays like rank 6, something about that. You're saying Tunder3 is good at some countries which is not true.

He said Thunder not Tunder, i think he meant Thunderballs. Hint hint DS.

Who is talking about Tunder? Read carefully before shooting down arguments, and with hindsight Laochra could have taken more chances turn 1, as you said Illyria already had a supposed advantage, regardless I already stated cautious play is good.

I'd suggest Madara parse it down to calling out 'man of the match'. Those ratings are a bit o.O

I guess you haven't read past CW Reports like the ones by LDK. You could say it's tradition to name a man of the match and the loser of the match. It's a friggin article after all

He meant taking the ratings out, and just sticking with the your "Man of the Match" label instead. Though this is only because half the serious CW readers think they know better than the article author. Most of them do. Just sticking a label on the winner/loser player of the match would be more appealing. Usually only one person fails hard, usually the first to die, and vice versa for the lynchpin of the match.

Nice pictures. Think it'd help if you added the order of the country picks too in the next article.
