|>but that's the point. myhand claims that when you play with same team mates, it is easier to win; the impaller claims that when you have a long time to discuss strategies and moves you win, as long as you have players who play as a team. i thought the teams represented well those two philosophies. i might be wrong, though...

That's actually not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying if you take your team of 3 and play 10 games without communication where you make all your moves in 5 minutes, and then play 10 games where you communicate with each other and work as a team and spend more time figuring out what the optimal move is, chances are you will play better in the 10 games where you communicate and play as a team.

I'm not saying people who play fast are worse than people who think. I could play a 1v1 where I make all my moves in 2 minutes or less and play against some guy who just started playing the game who has a full 3 days to make his moves and I would beat him every single time. I'm just saying I'd probably make less mistakes playing a game where I spend more time thinking. Against this hypothetical opponent who just started, it doesn't matter because he is going to obviously make a lot more mistakes than I will. In most games, it won't matter, because your team of 3 is better than almost everyone, so you're going to win on skill alone most of the time, even if you aren't making "optimal" plays.

The idea is that the two teams have to be of equal skill, and in those situations, teamwork and coordination will shine through. It's impossible to get two teams of equal skill to play against each other unless it's the same players on both teams (which obviously doesn't work).

I'll play the game you set up anyway, but I'm pretty sure that game is going to be decided by the skill of the players involved and nothing more. One team is going to be better than the other team and that team is probably going to win. That team is probably yours, for multiple reasons. I don't think it's going to prove anything I said one way or another.

well, there is no debate between you and myhandisonfire, then. i thought your position was more like the one BP just had: if you play a multiplayer team game, the player that you play with does not matter that much, as long as he is willing to communicate, whereas myhandisonfire's position was: to have a team that is used to play together makes a difference.
in any case, i'm glad you joined the game. let's have fun.

haha my bet is on real-time team

join 2v2v2 real shit cuh

I'm almost certain the rt team will win.. most of the MD team don't play this style of game.. and personally, I always get owned on europe, rt or md, so don't expect that to change drastically, presuming I haven't been removed yet ofc'
