I usually hate aoezone threads cuz i find some people here overly negative but i have to say i enjoyed reading this one. Not only the comments about guessing players (which i liked alot) but even the ones criticizing the games, most notably my boring play.
Believe it or not it actually made me question a few things i did, how i was overly defensive and predictable and i managed to give it some thought and sneak in some different ideas for the final.
I don't mind paying defensive and macroing, and while some think its boring, i think its sometimes the right call and i would always play to win for these tourneys. However in some games i overdid the defense and early walling and played too cautious, which was a bad thing and on top of that boring for viewers.
So yeah i actually took a bit of inspiration from this thread and also from losing arabia vs viper to mix up my playstyle a tiny bit for the finals to surprise my opponent.
Big takeaway from this tourney for me -> Theoretically, defensive style is the best for many reasons (more army numbers, easier mango micro, etc) but practically its soooo much easier to put pressure and force mistakes from your opponent. I'm not the best aggro player, i think larry is but i think its something im gonna work on for the future
+1 to making these threads more often, would give me a positive reason to read aoezone instead of just running into people who hate me and wanna make it known 11
