Mustard, it's a matter of opinion, like everything else :)

We know how those are -- I'm sure I don't need to repeat the old adage about it :)

It appears Lowpander was able to use it better than the 5% you're willing to give. Good for them, eh?

Sure :)

I nominate Muuki for "The Most Joyous Player of the Year", and Kissa for "The Awesomest Voice" :D

*smirk*

You surely realize this goes deep in the territory of 'personal opinions", and not everyone feels the same way about either one of those points.

For me - yeah, playing against engi is part of the game, and brings its own challenge. I *love* taking down sentries, for example.

Second - yeah, watching Muuki's engi plays is highly entertaining - his gunslinger play where he took out the combo was awesome!

But, like I said, we all have different opinions about it.

Now, for the other question if it's better or worse to have roamer vs. flex?
It's neither. It's just different, and it brings its own spice to the game.
I would still bite my fingernails off watching the games, flex or roamer, but I do get more laughs out of the surprising flex plays, and I imagine those plays also give extra fuel to Lowpander players when they're successful :)

Every player in the team has a different role, and if you put a different player to a spot, it would change the dynamics of the team. There are always players who stand out more than others - for different reasons - it can be skill, damage done, or just the role they have. The other players in the team know the value of their team mates - that should be the only thing that matters. Nobody is taking credit away from anyone in this team, they're all great players individually, and put together they melt into an awesome, FUN team!

They're also playing TF2, in ETF2L high - not Dota2 in TI6. It *should* be fun and entertaining, not serious, blood thirsty grinding, for the players as well as the spectators.

If y'all have watched and listened to these guys' comms, you know they're not only having a ball, it's sometimes exhilaratingly fun for them - which in itself is way more important than, say, winning the video game. Why play in the first place if it's not for fun?

High five to the whole team :)

Muuq flexing his Heavy Fist fight muscles :P

Yeah, uubers is solid, and I think it's an important part for LP being able to play flex. He can clean up nicely :)

There's a clip from a scrim where he pretty much demolishes all the players of the other team as phlog pyro.

My faves are, however, the double spy last caps.

Muuq probably has the links for them. :)

Seriously speaking, yes, the opponent not knowing how to counter the ever changing flex affects their ability to play efficiently. If they start concentrating on countering the flex, they're giving up their own game, and the results are obvious.

Lowpander may me giving up some of their firepower with flex, but their ingenious changes with flex gives them an edge.

Personally, I love watching the flex and the surprises it brings to the game.

Muuq for president!

Hail KingKissa!

Premjabob!!

Also, five stars to uubers, Møn and hildoge!

:)

Congrats Lowpander!

Hildreth, Thank You for all the work you put in for the cup, it was fun to watch. Oh, and Congrats to the winning team - the runner-ups gave y'all a run for your money - or should I say for your mouse pads :)

Thanks again! :)
