That depends on can we manage to combine our playstyles better.
Also... (You might feel like calling it excuses...) but this was just about the worst thinkable time (for me) to play this (no doubt hardest match of the division for us).
Of course, I should take care to be in relatively good shape in a tournament when the deadline of the matches isn't that far away...
Well this time I was in very bad shape, although I played very well just 4 days ago.
I also noticed (for like the 20th time) that mine and Sucer's ways of playing make a bad combination. I'm not a 'super offensive player' like Sucer seems to be, so I kinda drag him down considering the team strategy that forms around his gameplay. He is also a dynamic player (win or lose styled) and isn't that conservative, so when we get roasted even somewhat simultaneously, it's an easy score for the opponent.
SJ and Snooze are a very good team and can maintain consistency in their good play sometimes for unnatural periods.
In this game, especially, I noticed that they both played very offensively and yet managed to leave the cracks in their defenses very small.
When I compare both teams from each standpoint that comes to mind, I can quite safely say that 4-10 (2-5 and 2-5) wasn't that bad of us.
Although Sucer dominated our team's rather lengthy scoreboard with his 'mega offensive', an equal portion of our defensive measures became my responsibility.
Nevertheless, it's still true that the better (and pretty much only actual...) team won this one. We might've lost a battle, but not the war (as far as I'm concerned).
