No Spawns Tournament #3 [Final Round Underway]

[Flarp55]

This game type seems to lead to stalemates at high levels. Peekaboo is slightly more open but still pretty slow.

Uh, I think your games just lead to stalemates. TGH and I finished two games fairly quickly yesterday. The key is to realize at some point you have to make a guess - stop being defensive and try something unique or crazy that might just pay off.

Agreed. The no balls approach of turtle turtle turtle is going to lead to statements no matter what game type you're playing in Outwitters.

I share above sentiment that someone who advertises himself as a "scally turtler" probly just has many stalemates in general

I've actually never had a stalemate in regular games, including SvS.

And by the way, lawtai hasn't been attacking either. I'm not the only one who's been turtling. I've tried advancing but he always seems to find ways to block me. He's also tried advancing but I can fend him off too. We both pretty much know where each other's units are at all times, so that makes it harder to take risks.

The GendryStorm vs lawtai match felt a bit stalematey to me, though eventually it was resolved. I wonder how you two feel about that game.

[lawtai]

I think in the game against Gendrystorm, I got tired of waiting so I just made a move that I figured would get me killed.

[TheGreatErenan]

Yeah, that was the impression I got from watching it.

Not all my games lead to stalemates. But against a perfect opponent (eg lawtai) there are no weaknesses to exploit.
