    The fact that Cuora didn't take cannon aggro at 5:27 was complete luck. I was panicking and not paying attention to the timing and only realized afterwards how risky it had been...
    It's crazy how close this was. Props to Everec and all the other competitors, and of course to everyone who helped make this happen.

    This is actually a viable option for Hypergryph for tournament setting; not only is it a tournament, it's also a showcase of the smartest strategies and an Operator showcase, meta or not, all in one bundle. Interesting concept; I was expecting to be bored but damn, there was nothing boring about it, had me at the edge of my seat

    That Silverash ban was so key twice! That is something that I said for a long time, all the meta players see S3, but what makes Silverash so key is his invis detection and reduced redeploy and Everec not having another plan to deal with the invis drones really hurt the time.
    Quite interesting idea that whole tournament, but using CC18 as the measuring stick is kind of weird, it would be nice to have another (maybe more permanent/rotating) option for something like this.

    • @bullshot101
      @bullshot101 Год назад +11

      They did have an S2M3 Elysium, but the issue was they kept choosing redeploy times. But considering 5 stars are the largest source of invis detection (elysium, tsukinogi, scene), I think this CC was already going to be very hard for a 6 star niche since Horn doesn't have the tile set to be effective against the drones unless Everec decides to not phase skip and stall manfred when he is at far left of his path, thus horn can fire flares and detect the invisible drones should that ever be an option outside of elysium.

    • @zomfgroflmao1337
      @zomfgroflmao1337 Год назад +1

      @@bullshot101 Well yeah, but for all other options (in the air) you need two units to deal with it as they reveal but don't deal damage, plus you are bound to the skill uptime, Silverash is just doing everything by just existing.

    • @bullshot101
      @bullshot101 Год назад +1

      @@zomfgroflmao1337 as the crux of this argument is the second drone, horn illumination would be up for it, and scene is a passive revel, and placing her top left would be in range for the 8 tiles to attack. While this affects how much they can deploy, it's then ultimately the issue of flexibility again with what strategies can be used to avoid the scenario of no SA. While I can't do it like they do with archetto and the like, someone like ling could be useful for not only increasing the bomb call occurrence if the deploy timer modifier isn't chosen, it's a pool of 6 "low cost to stat" units for stall and bait.

    GGs to Tortoise and everyone else that competed, and thank you Vifer, Xairathan, and all involved for making this happen, it was a ton of fun!
    The level 3 Manfred risk in the first round was a complete misclick and autopiloting Elysium in round 2 was not my brightest moment.
    Hindsight is 20/20 though, and Tortoise proved very difficult to ban operatirs against due to the versatility of 5*s and their phenomenal mastery of the cannon.

    Was very fun to watch. I think the systems needs an improvement to make both sides change strategies, and not just the same with a small operator variation, even when i was Amazed by tortoise strategy, was a little boring to see it 5 times in a row.
    I do recommend adding a permanent ban on top of the round ban, the loser of a round gets the right to ban one unit permanently for all future rounds, that gives the loser chance to comeback and as things get to round 5 there is 5 bans for both sides, that could really make them have to develop a completely new strategy for that final round.

      To answer this question. I think challengers like me have been practicing some other ops than those 3 for that tourney knowing that those ops will get banned by the opponents or by us. Also most of the time we rather do stick to our own squad or strategy to finish the match before the opponent do which is main goal of that tourney. To add up some people that has made to the final 8 still don't have them built (like me with Wendy S3 no Mastery). Since Tortoise did that gameplay to be immune to those bans, especially to not let their opponents know what to ban against Tortoise also they did prepared for other ops that have similar skills to improvise. But props to Everec for Banning Aurora since she was one of the key of Tortoise 4 minutes timer.

    I think a cool concept but bad in execution to watch is a stall run. Since there’s the cannon you can’t infinitely stall is there’ll be consistent damage. Ofc stalling is boring to watch tho
