God, your picks sucked, Wally.

Or you could of put basic knowledge to use and swap your 3 with either your 1/2 to guarantee coverage. I know you're pretty good, but it hurts my eyes to see players who should know better making rookie mistakes.

it's not a mistake dude. you guys have been telling me this for years and i always say the same thing. you don't get it.

when lebron james plays his son in a game he does not play his best defense. same with me playing 31% players in auto games.

i just started the ladder. in my first 6 games i have thought about 2 minutes total making my picks. because i know i'm going to win all 6 games even if i play them drunk. who cares?

when i start playing good players, then i will try.

Don’t you bring the sprite spokesman into this.

The thing is, you make mistakes that don't actually require thought to not make. They're the types of things that should just be intuition that is drilled into you on an instinctual level.

there is a poker saying that fits here.

'to be good you must learn to play tight'

'to be great you must learn to play loose'

i'm intentionally playing loose and you're laughably telling me i'm making a mistake for not playing tight.

if i were taking an optimal strategy test and those picks were my answer, they'd be a mistake.

but i know the correct answer and i choose to pick differently.

"but i know the correct answer and i choose to pick differently."

no one is like "oh i know what to do. and im going to exactly not do that". the exception is when its done absoultly obvious via a wasteland challenge or something wich wasnt the case here.

at this point you just try to talk your way out in a weak way.

Okay I have two things to say

1: That's Wensink. He's a well known troll and taking him seriously is in itself silly. He's even posted on these boards before. https://www.warzone.com/Forum/174564-wensink-greatest-player-time Sometimes he joins my games, picks terribly, and makes jokes about being elite because he's on a higher level than other players. No one should EVER take Wensink seriously.

2: A bit unrelated while at the same time on topic but can someone even explain to me how any player with a functioning brain could win 30% of autogames with nearly 4000 games played? I don't really understand the mentality of these players and have seen many of them in autogames. How can someone have so much experience but still lose to new players with little to no experience?

no one is like "oh i know what to do. and im going to exactly not do that".

i do.

triple picking is a great example. i know it's often a bad play but i do it anyway because it's fun.

can someone even explain to me how any player with a functioning brain could win 30% of autogames with nearly 4000 games played?

the 30% players all say winrate is meaningless and they're amazing players.

if you say so "Wally ITalkMyWayOut Balls"

in other words: if i'm wrong, please explain why. i'm aware it's possible i'm wrong. and discussions like these have caused me to play my best game more often. though still not always.

i just started the ladder. in my first 6 games i have thought about 2 minutes total making my picks. because i know i'm going to win all 6 games even if i play them drunk. who cares?

and ofc i lost one lol

Nice idea of getting the excuses out there before hitting that surrender button

Losing that game was fucking embarrassing. It'd be one thing if you underestimated the opponent and they played well, but they didn't.

I've only looked at turn 1 and 2, but they made errors both turns. Huge errors, the kind that smack of huge fundamental flaws in their understanding of the basics.

5 out of 6 picks in the northeast is just ridiculously stupid. Wastelands in Indo, ER, and WC pretty much guaranteeing that you can't win with that region alone.

If you picked like that vs adiba, you're going to lose 2 games.
