Forgot to metion that Dub-c messaged me on MSN 3 or 4 days ago saying:

QuoteI just wanted to tell you I won't be able to play our playoff games. I apologize for this.

that's why we didnt play our games yesterday as it was planned ;s

Ew, disconnects are always a bad thing :S
After watching the replays, I'd say the first 2 games are valid for sure. Im not quite sure about the third game. daiNa clearly had an advantage there. Im gonna have another look at this one tomorrow and Im also gonna talk with SPW about it. But even if we decide to give a win for this round, there's still at least 1 match to go. I think I'm there saturday at 23 GMT, so I could host.

don't feel like playing today, im pretty tired.
Friday sounds good tho.
What about 19GMT on friday?

@its always 1vs1 at the end:
First of all this is just the case if your opponent doesnt make any mistakes. But when it's 1vs1 its also important to have a look at the HP of these 2 worms.
The early game doesnt matter at all most of the times, but the midgame is the time where you can gain an advantage for the endgame. I think in ~75% (thats just a random guess out of my memory) of the games I have an HP lead when it's down to 1vs1 in Hysteria. But imo, there are easy-to-execute tactics that can give you a gamble situation at the end. I never saw anyone actually doing it against me yet, but I think this is the main flaw of hysteria. It kinda leads to the situation that Free described, where its down to one nearly horizontal shot with zook at the end of sd.
Depending on the map and the bng skill of the player that uses this tactic you can win at least 1 out of 3 games against ANY player. I can't prove it, cause like I said, I've never seen anyone tyring to play like this, cause your winning chances are <50% like this, imo, because your opponent has to miss one important shot for you to win.

But all in all, I dont think that Hysteria is as flawed as for example Shyguy and darKz think it is. For most tactics there's a good counter tactic.
I'm still undecided if this scheme needs a change and if so, which changes would make the scheme better... :/

Do you really think people choose Hysteria just because they think they have a chance of winning it?

I think that most of the players that pick Hysteria against me, pick it, because they think they have the best chances of winning in this scheme.

Almog, what about thursday, 19:00 GMT?
