Some post-series thoughts & analysis over the group dynamics and my performance. Also long break between Games 1 & 2 because we were trying to figure out the best way to get a good lobby for the 5 of us: - Game 1 00:01 : I played decent this game I would say, although I was a very passive sender and basically gave Red a very smooth-sailing and easy game from T1-T3. Huge blunder to not have protected my chokepoints with shrooms (which I made the adjustments in Game 2) despite being in a dominant position. But was a good learning game. - Game 2 50:50 : Pretty smooth-sailing game. Light Blue was getting hard pressured by Wheat, which gave me plenty of time and space despite the tech being horrible (Devourer). Did a decent send in T3 onto Peanut to set his income back. Pretty satisfied with how the game went. The phoenixes at the end were in an attempt to take out Peanut because I assumed I was going to 1v1 Wheat instead. - Game 3 1:29:30 : Not very confident with vault tech to be honest. Contemplated going Crystals instead of Orbkeepers first and probably should've done that instead of going Orbkeepers. The YokNaJa maze capitalizes on the crystal angles but it also means that late upgrades hurt you alot. In this game, I basically caught on to the necromancers too late and when I finally had crystals, the necromancers were already too deep into the maze for me to take advantage of the maze setup. Very aggressive sends to secure myself a higher spot, but the necromancer misplay definitely played a huge part into it. - Polished up alot of my mistakes and aggressive blunders and playing a much more defensive and income-spamming playstyle in FFA definitely leads to better results. Will see if this pays off well in the next series to come.
