Merit to fast 2v2 arranged teams

But those two teams I mentioned are fascinatingly fast taking their turns. They do win, too.
Here is some Acrospire matches that were completed in a week, last three simultaneously:

I like chat and play slow, some of my teammates are faster, some slower than me.
Pace was probably too fast to us, since those simultaneous blitz 2v2 all ended to our lost! But opponent had FTA on every single match, so 3-1 is not that bad, isn't it?

As the games were on Acrospire, I believe FTA isn't as big an advantage even though I've never really felt it on the other maps so much either but especially so on Acro. I would like to watch those games when I have more time.

but if i had to make a vote it would be acameronp and his partner

Playing fast (under 5) means you're not accounting for everything available and not taking into account your partners ideas and how you can fulfill not only your own but also theirs.
Anyways, just my 2 cents, I know me and Banger moved every 2.5-3 days

i agree but the max for us on normal turns would be 2 days. sometimes reaching 3 for crucial turns

though quick turns isnt neccesarily bad.. as long as it doesnt affect your skill.
i think the ninja bros would have been easily higher in rank if they decreased their games and took more time in making their turns.

I agree on these points, opponents who moved fast against us are a joy to play against. Games end in a day sometimes (played one 2v2 blitz with WorldFamous and DMFDie that was over in 1hours, 16turns) and we've never lost.

9. Trahogektor & gektotraher
16. paco bru & 4munt
on the other hand had climbed to top 10 and top 20.
Both teams having around 600 league points at the end of season 3 (source OSN).

I haven't seen them play or played against them (maybe once against traho) so I'm not justified to make the comment but I agree with Qwertiest, I think they could be higher and if they slowed down they could break into the top 5. Again, not my place to make that comment but I'll watch your games against paco.

My nominees got they reward on Friday:
Both teams made it to the top 5.
Congratulations and thank you, 2v2 is a joy with you.

I nominate Husky Pete and lawtai.
Me and poc 13 are playing against them, I just played four moves today.

On that note, I also nominate myself and poc 13.

I just made my sixth move of the day in that 2v2. This is probably the fastest 2v2 ever.
