(9:07 AM) Luke: oh no worries
(9:07 AM) Grey Waves: eh, there were a bunch of things I think I could do better
(9:07 AM) Luke: You had a lot more activations than I did to think about
(9:08 AM) Grey Waves: yeah
(9:08 AM) Luke: Yeah, I think you definitely didn't need to take as much lava damage as you did
(9:08 AM) Grey Waves: agreed
(9:08 AM) Luke: although I also think it was just a hard matchup for you
(9:08 AM) Grey Waves: particularly in that round with the riflemen
(9:08 AM) Luke: mmhmmm
(9:08 AM) Grey Waves: To some degree?
(9:08 AM) Luke: I mean, that was a calculated risk with the riflemen
(9:09 AM) Grey Waves: I think it would have been better to just take the one shot then kite though
(9:09 AM) Luke: there was only a 25% chance you'd lose both
(9:09 AM) Luke: yeah maybe
(9:09 AM) Grey Waves: yeah
(9:09 AM) Luke: the thing is they can't really kite 9000
(9:09 AM) Luke: since he outranges them
(9:09 AM) Luke: The other BIG thing
(9:09 AM) Luke: I was really happy you let me set up on this side
(9:10 AM) Grey Waves: I think it was the wrong move because if I lose initiative the next round, the riflemen are dead anyway
(9:10 AM) Grey Waves: Really?
(9:10 AM) Luke: yeah
(9:10 AM) Luke: it let me set up Stalker Citadel on height, and have 9000 in range of shooting Valda
(9:10 AM) Luke: I can't do that on the other side
(9:10 AM) Grey Waves: to be honest, I wasn't expecting you to set up like that at all
(9:11 AM) Grey Waves: First time that has happened in my dozen odd OHS games
(9:11 AM) Luke: I didn't want to get tangled up with you in all that uneven lava ground in the middle XD
(9:11 AM) Luke: First time what has happened?
(9:11 AM) Grey Waves: First time someone just podded up in the start zone and let me approach
(9:12 AM) Luke: ah
(9:12 AM) Grey Waves: I was expecting you to send out the deathstalkers as a mobile screen
(9:12 AM) Luke: Yeah, I don't think that would have worked as well
(9:12 AM) Grey Waves: definitely not
(9:12 AM) Luke: There's just literally no good spot to sit 9000 anywhere in the middle
(9:13 AM) Luke: Since I outrange you, there's no reason to leave my nice high ground plateau
(9:13 AM) Grey Waves: Yeah, it's just that it's never happened to me before so I didn't consider the possibility
(9:13 AM) Luke: Yeah, this is kind of a weird map
(9:13 AM) Luke: In that the largest areas of non lava height are right next to the start zones
(9:14 AM) Luke: I think I might like the map more if the 4 height hexes weren't lava?
(9:14 AM) Grey Waves: You revealed OM2 in the first round on the deathcommander and I was like, wait what? He's not going to try take Valda with the deathstalkers?
(9:14 AM) Luke: XD
(9:14 AM) Grey Waves: Agree on the 4 height hexes thing
(9:14 AM) Luke: Nope
(9:15 AM) Luke: Built Stalker Citadel and just wait it out was my game plan XD
(9:15 AM) Grey Waves: Hahaha well next time I see an army like this I'll remember this game and plan accordingly
(9:15 AM) Luke: To be honest, I'm not even SURE going for valda was the right call for you?
(9:16 AM) Grey Waves: valda with bonding melee is broken
(9:16 AM) Luke: it is
(9:16 AM) Luke: but only if it matters
(9:16 AM) Luke: since I wasn't trying to get anywhere, I probably wasn't moving anyone off my 2 height plateau
(9:16 AM) Grey Waves: Yeah, I realise that now
(9:17 AM) Luke: Which means you can take all the time you want to move your entire army just outside 9000s range
(9:17 AM) Grey Waves: I shouldn't have bothered about valda as soon as i realised what you were doing
(9:17 AM) Grey Waves: Yeah
(9:17 AM) Luke: And then grab Valda once you're ready to charge
(9:17 AM) Grey Waves: That sounds like a much better gameplan than the one I actually executed XD
(9:17 AM) Luke: To be fair, I might have tried moving 9000 onto the 3 hex height to take some shots if I thought that you were out of range and doing that
(9:17 AM) Luke: But that's risky
(9:18 AM) Grey Waves: definitely
(9:18 AM) Luke: SInce I need to make SURE you can't engage me so I could get back down before the end of the round
(9:18 AM) Grey Waves: yep
(9:18 AM) Luke: And Gilbert makes it hard to be sure about that XD
(9:18 AM) Grey Waves: Those rolls in the first round were crazy hahaha
(9:18 AM) Luke: they really were haha
(9:19 AM) Luke: In the end though it didn't really matter, since we weren't racing anywhere anyway, you had all the time you needed to slow roll
(9:19 AM) Grey Waves: yeah
(9:19 AM) Luke: by slow roll I just mean develop your knights
(9:19 AM) Grey Waves: Oh well. It's a learning experience. I'm still a total newbie to competitive HS compared to the average person who enters these tournaments
(9:19 AM) Grey Waves: I know what slow rolling is
(9:19 AM) Grey Waves: I have listened to more than 1 episode of Casters of Valhalla
(9:20 AM) Luke: Cool, I'm never sure how much lingo people know :)
(9:20 AM) Luke: Haha, CoV is pretty great
(9:20 AM) Luke: I learned a ton that I applied in S39
(9:20 AM) Luke: But I'm pretty new to OHS in general
(9:20 AM) Grey Waves: CoV is the reason I'm going 2-2 in these tournaments instead of 1-3 or 0-4
(9:20 AM) Grey Waves: How long have you been playing for?
(9:20 AM) Luke: S39 was actually my first season
(9:21 AM) Grey Waves: Whattttt
(9:21 AM) Grey Waves: You won the first ever season you participated in?
(9:21 AM) Luke: 7-0 =D
(9:21 AM) Grey Waves: Had you ever played competitive heroscape before?
(9:22 AM) Luke: Not unless you count the one local tournament I got destroyed in when I was like 15 XD
(9:22 AM) Grey Waves: Like, irl?
(9:22 AM) Grey Waves: right ok wow
(9:22 AM) Luke: Ok
(9:22 AM) Luke: That's not completely true
(9:22 AM) Luke: I actually did play in the 2019 C3V playtesting tournament
(9:22 AM) Luke: But other than that, the only scape I really played was with my brother
(9:23 AM) Grey Waves: is he any good? I played for years with my friends but it taught me absolutely nothing about how to play competitively
(9:23 AM) Grey Waves: largely because no-one owned more than 1 copy of a common squad
(9:24 AM) Luke: I mean, kinda? Although since we didn't really have more than 1 of any common squad it didn't teach us a whole lot about the comp meta XD
(9:24 AM) Luke: Q10+a bunch of random heroes was my go to army back then XD
(9:24 AM) Grey Waves: Do you get to play much online outside of tournament games?
(9:25 AM) Luke: And I thought the machine gun SA was garbage XD
(9:25 AM) Grey Waves: same haha
(9:25 AM) Luke: I've played a decent bit online in the last year or so
(9:25 AM) Luke: Mainly playtesting AotV figures
(9:26 AM) Grey Waves: right
(9:26 AM) Luke: And mostly playing agaisnt Shiftrex =D
(9:26 AM) Grey Waves: part of my problem is that I don't get to really play OHS outside of my scheduled tournament games
(9:26 AM) Luke: Yeah, practice definitely helps
(9:26 AM) Grey Waves: since my timezone is so awful, that and I work full time
(9:26 AM) Luke: I've also played on this map once before, which definitely helped here
(9:27 AM) Grey Waves: definitely
(9:27 AM) Luke: Also, I feel like I got kinda lucky with most of my matchups in S39
(9:27 AM) Grey Waves: you don't go 7-0 just by getting lucky with matchups
(9:28 AM) Luke: No but it definitely helps XD
(9:28 AM) Luke: Also, even though I don't play a ton, I theoryscape quite a bit
(9:28 AM) Luke: Thinking about designing new figures and just tactics in general helps
(9:29 AM) Grey Waves: I need to watch more of 10 points under to work on my own tactics
(9:31 AM) Luke: I still definitely need to work on my tactics, but I feel like one of my strengths is looking at a matchup and developing a solid long-term gameplan
(9:31 AM) Grey Waves: he plays recordings of OHS games and gives commentary over the top
(9:31 AM) Luke: oh thats cool
(9:31 AM) Grey Waves: I recommend watching at 1.25x speed for the optimal viewing experience
(9:31 AM) Luke: I find it really helpful to think about what I want the endgame matchup to look like, in terms of which figures we've each killed, and then work backwards how to get there
(9:33 AM) Grey Waves: I'm getting better at that
(9:34 AM) Grey Waves: Anyway, it's 10:30pm so I should probably start heading to bed
(9:34 AM) Luke: Sounds good; thanks for the game and have a good evening!
