(1:29 AM) Grey Waves: wait, they're not?

(1:29 AM) Chris: Lol

(1:30 AM) Grey Waves: just keep the roll

(1:30 AM) Chris: Apparently not

(1:30 AM) Chris: Yeah, the roll was still below average

(1:30 AM) Chris: Ok, cool

(1:30 AM) Chris: So Dupuis would have 6 attack here then

(2:29 AM) Grey Waves: well done

(2:29 AM) Chris: Thanks

(2:29 AM) Chris: Damn swingy game

(2:30 AM) Grey Waves: yeah

(2:30 AM) Grey Waves: I didn't play my Band as well as I could have

(2:30 AM) Chris: Which spots would you do different?

(2:30 AM) Chris: Curious

(2:31 AM) Chris: I didn't think Band was necessarily played badly

(2:31 AM) Chris: Just harder for you to contest height than me

(2:32 AM) Chris: That first Alder dying gave you a big lead, then I felt I needed to take some risks with Dupuis

(2:32 AM) Chris: Then Dupuis took 4 immediately and I thought the game was over

(2:32 AM) Grey Waves: I didn't play the Band badly as such, just a few things I did that weren't optimal

(2:32 AM) Chris: Then he just...never died

(2:32 AM) Chris: Gotcha

(2:32 AM) Grey Waves: there were a couple of attacks that went into Tornak that should have gone into the Blades, and I should've put Marcus on the other side of the snow height on the first turn he attacked (i.e. the spot he ended up on the following turn) - that would have allowed me to get 3 attacks of 4 into Tornak that turn

(2:33 AM) Chris: Yeah I agree those attacks should have been into Blades

(2:33 AM) Chris: I was happy seeing dice into Tornak

(2:33 AM) Chris: Cause I was never in a spot to lose OMs and could have been if 2 more blades died

(2:33 AM) Grey Waves: I mean if he dies quickly the Blade's offence gets much worse all of a sudden

(2:33 AM) Chris: Oh sure, if you got the kill you won

(2:34 AM) Chris: Well, the kill + the init that you did win

(2:34 AM) Chris: If you get the kill but I win init I think I still win though

(2:34 AM) Chris: Nerak refills, and I get a Nerak snow height + 4 blade attacks to kill most of the band

(2:34 AM) Grey Waves: I still could've won if the Band had just traded a bit better into the Blades

(2:34 AM) Chris: Yeah, agreed

(2:35 AM) Chris: I had a couple clutch 2/4 blocks in there

(2:35 AM) Chris: What did you think of the draft?

(2:35 AM) Grey Waves: it felt like the Band attacks were a bit below average whereas the Blade attacks were a bit above

(2:36 AM) Chris: Yeah

(2:36 AM) Grey Waves: re: the draft, I would've also banned ninjas and picked second if I'd won the diceoff

(2:36 AM) Chris: The one turn where I had bad blade attacks was into the Romans when they didn't have many OMs left

(2:36 AM) Chris: So that didn't hurt me

(2:36 AM) Chris: Ah ok, same draft outcome then

(2:36 AM) Chris: I'd have taken Romans 1st too

(2:36 AM) Grey Waves: Ninjas are just so good into all of your melee squads

(2:36 AM) Chris: Yeah

(2:37 AM) Chris: Great J&K map too

(2:37 AM) Chris: All the max height 4 spots

(2:37 AM) Chris: * single hex

(2:37 AM) Grey Waves: yeah

(2:38 AM) Grey Waves: I've won a couple of games this season because my opponent underestimated the ninjas

(2:38 AM) Chris: I almost got KOed by OG Blaha bc of Ninjas

(2:38 AM) Chris: I messed up the opening against them

(2:38 AM) Chris: Had to go for a Syv 2.0 hail mary that ended up working

(2:38 AM) Chris: Got the 3x5 into Storm Shadow, needed a kill in 1 turn and got it

(2:38 AM) Grey Waves: I don't think I'd do the rest of the draft any differently a second time either

(2:38 AM) Chris: That was my worst played game of the season by far

(2:39 AM) Chris: Yeah I think once Ninjas got banned this was the only way the draft could go

(2:39 AM) Chris: Have to take Romans first or getting stuck with Band is too bad

(2:39 AM) Chris: Have to take Blades bc it's the best one left

(2:39 AM) Chris: You ban the best one left (pirates)

(2:39 AM) Chris: And I can't take Band b/c I'm not Disciplined

(2:40 AM) Chris: I think Jeanne into Romans was the most interesting sub-matchup here

(2:40 AM) Chris: Both had great tools to kill the other

(2:41 AM) Grey Waves: for sure

(2:41 AM) Grey Waves: Cobra Commander is really good into Blades and Band, and by picking Romans first that forced you to either let me have 5 move Romans and 3 defence Band once CC died, or alternatively you would be stuck with non-disciplined Band (which isn't bad, but it isn't great either)

(2:41 AM) Chris: Yep

(2:41 AM) Chris: Band without the Romans pod is pretty bad

(2:42 AM) Chris: That was kinda the 'trick' I was going for with my pods

(2:42 AM) Grey Waves: I don't hate it

(2:42 AM) Chris: Got a few people to end up with it that way

(2:42 AM) Grey Waves: it's not great though

(2:42 AM) Chris: Problem is Blades can kill them sleeping in the SZ too easily

(2:42 AM) Chris: 2v2s

(2:42 AM) Chris: It's the only thing non-boosted blades can really kill in the pool

(2:42 AM) Chris: And Valda lets them go nuts with that on a mid-game init switch, potentially

(2:42 AM) Chris: Just yeet into the SZ and obliterate band

(2:43 AM) Chris: Well, kill enough to give you the chance to nearly wipe them across a switch

(2:43 AM) Grey Waves: yeah, I thought you might actually lead Blades and sneak a couple into my SZ to go after the Band while they were sleeping

(2:43 AM) Chris: As Tornak catches up

(2:43 AM) Chris: I wanted to lead Blades, but I think Jeanne is better into Romans than Band

(2:43 AM) Chris: Band can deny cleave easily

(2:43 AM) Chris: And Dupuis is best into Commander

(2:44 AM) Grey Waves: yeah, Sir Dupuis makes playing CC tricky

(2:44 AM) Chris: Felt like I could "win" the game on 1 good turn of cleaves or Dupuis killing Commander

(2:44 AM) Chris: Like a 3/3 Cleave turn just ends it

(2:44 AM) Chris: Not super likely, but high upside

(2:44 AM) Chris: And Cleaves start stacking, as the formation falls apart

(2:44 AM) Grey Waves: yep

(2:44 AM) Chris: Obviously I can miss all 3 too and be hurting

(2:45 AM) Chris: But the upside of it into Romans is just way better than into Band

(2:45 AM) Chris: And Blades are better into Band also

(2:45 AM) Chris: No 4d

(2:45 AM) Chris: No Commander 1-shotting Tornak

(2:45 AM) Grey Waves: all very fair points

(2:45 AM) Grey Waves: anyway, well played and congrats on winning the season

(2:46 AM) Chris: Thanks

(2:46 AM) Chris: All right, I should take off, getting late here

(2:46 AM) Grey Waves: enjoy the rest of your evening

(2:46 AM) Chris: Talk to you next time
