@ game 1 and the "leak down to 1 life for more eco" idea I think that works for most strats, but it specifically does not work in COBRA mirrors. Because of Attrition farming. You had the early lead in money game 1, but when he started Attrition farming early, the money lead flipped, and then your late Attritions didn't gain you any money (they just denied a little of of his money, but by then it was too late) COBRA is all about first mover advantage and that very much applies to a potential Attrition war too
tbh lokesh was never ever up in the 1st game, was getting outplayed and making bad decisions all game. r4 sending blues instead of pinks (69 lives vs 144 lives with equal cobras+eco) r8 has to go for bigger blasts (-£600) not needed till r11 r11 he could have spent all £2000 on whites but only sends £1000 saying he would save to get a cluster (which would be a terrible play anyways as he could boost 1st wave, opponent can't even send a 2nd wave to force a bomb as he is playing high eco so would be dead to an all out), trading boosts and using 1 of your boosts in the early game is how cobra is meant to be played. r18 was when the game was lost tho, in the time it took to save up for that £7000 the opponent got an extra 1:30 of being +250 eco up (both low balls), that £7000 adjustment is then easily defendable for cheap as bomb is so effective early game. The opponent made a play i really liked as well going for those attritions r17, since lokesh was low lives and round length starts increasing, it also forces out a 2nd signal flare despite spending 0 on adjustment. In a nutshell, cobra mirrors (on interchange) favour the passive player, if you are going to go agro like lokesh then at least anti-stall and boost greed. Don't try to play it like a boat cobra morter mirror or like you would vs hfg.
I have a theory that Lokesh lives in a satellite orbiting in space so he has no concept of circadian rhythm or reasonable upload times
He probably lives somewhere else
I’m a big Lokesh fan
Lokesh, always giving the people what they want! Content!

I agree. Early attrition was the play for his opponent because Lokesh leaked. So you're right in that lives matter hugely in cobra mirror.
It feels like heli glue straight looses now
12:50 🫦
(No homo)
Cobra is meta now
what does rps mean? 0:35
Rock paper scissors. It refers to how some strats hard counter other strats, but get hard countered by another strategy
@ThatLazyyGuy probably the worst thing in this game is the RPS factor.
Feels illegal to be this early to a lokesh video
🔥
I cant sleep ;(
It’s 2 pm in my country.
Me either 😪
Title is kind of misleading tho
Ur dumb
Yoo
