After those matches, I start to like Chris more than Daut
i heard this from many ppl. i dislike daut's many actions regarding these games. first he didnt accept the chris list of 21 games saying he shouldnt be forced to play some civ, he should be able to make his choice and pick his best civ. this makes sense. however, chris was claiming he was the best all-around player. so he proposed a set that covered almost everything aoc rm has in it. so daut's proposal didnt quite serve the purpose. i understand why chris agreed with these boring 4 game sets though. he was claimig he was the best and therefore he lost the freedom to disagree with any proposed game setting.
secondly, i hated the way daut made chris wait all that time. chris waited, didnt practise much, got a new job while daut was practising hard. daut knew when he finally replied to chris' offer, chris had to accept. otherwise he would be contradicting himself and he would be called a giant *****. i didnt like this kind of out-of-the-game manipulation of daut.
and in the games... daut played perfect. i really admire him and he is one of my three favorite players (one of them being chris). but daut didnt try to be innovative at all. he always waited for chris to **** up. and sadly, most of the time chris ****ed up sooner or later. i dont mean this is bad or something. daut did what he had to do. but now im not such a big fan :D (i know he doesnt care). this set reminds me of nadal-federer games. ****ing nadal was there defending perfectly while federer was doing greatest **** ever on tennis. in the end nadal was the winner. i favor nadal against any other player. but if its federer, i just hate nadal.
finally, chris really surprised me the way he played. i was actually expecting much worse performance from him. he won 5 games and he was the obvious winner of at least 5 other games until a very definitive stupid moment in game. i still wonder how it would turn out if daut accepted the challenge when it was on, and the way it was on (i mean the superior 21 game sets chris offered).
chris has balls of steel and he once again proved himself to be one of the most talented two players aoc has ever seen. respect. daut is a ****ing machine and i would guess machines should also have balls of steel. if they have any...
