You know, I just lost to that Rafka guy at Intermediate (I know.. He's so pro it's not even funny) because I started the game with only 4.5 worms. A f@#!ing sheep killed 3 of my worms in turn 1 and severely injured a 4th one. That is, before I could even do a thing.
Of course I wasn't playing a perfect Intermediate after that because it was obvious there wasn't the slightest chance I could win after such a first turn. But yeah, that's clearly not the reason why I've lost.
This is for you Rafka:
Quote03:30.14 <darKz`-> i just lost an intermediate to him because he killed 3.5 of my worms in turn 1
03:30.19 <darKz`-> and he thinks he's pro now
03:30.35 <darKz`-> he said "Dario would win 4.5 vs 8 situation"
03:31.36 <Dario|WantMyNickBack> I've won 3 vs 8 situations
03:31.41 <Dario|WantMyNickBack> very very special situations
03:31.51 <Dario|WantMyNickBack> where the enemy just ended up killing himself, so no credit for me 
03:32.03 <Dario|WantMyNickBack> and if the map was bad, sorry dude, nothing you could have done that round.
03:32.08 <darKz`-> yeah i know.. but in intermediate, with all the ropes and the jetpack, wormselects, it's pretty much impossible
03:32.16 <Dario|WantMyNickBack> yep
My point is, I'd like to have Intermediate be a Free League scheme because there's just too much luck involved, it ruins your streak / rating / rank very randomly.
While I agree that the scheme requires a different type of skill than i.e. Elite does, I don't think it's possible to play best-of-one Intermediates in a league.
I'd like to hear opinions about this. And if Rafka shows up here please don't hesitate to click that [smite] button, he f@#!ing deserves it for the chat in those 2 games.
This is the said game if you'd like to have a look:
