I agree and disagree with this. I know alloy tried all sorts of stuff in scrims and games that he felt we'd win. The bitch of it was that the sim was built to simply chuck and hope, and you didn't even have to hope that much, as it was a given it'd be complete far more than not. Alloy was a very good GPer, and he did often do seemingly little things to put the dots in the best positions, but chuck it deep was just the way to go. I agree it made for horrid "game plans" though.
I can't remember who it was, but one of them opened up 3-4 OLmen on the blaze back then. They were slightly better builds, IMO. On Val, we started working on SAs before finishing the skills, so we could win up earlier (actually, that happened a week or so before I joined, so it wasn't really a "we"). That put them behind a bit for the 1st 2 WL golds. By the time they were opened, their AEQ had improved a ton over that last ssn (shifting AEQ pieces and finishing them off).
He did pretty much zero things differently offensively for 2 seasons. It was the same thing in every game I scouted and the same thing in games against me. The fact is...you just couldn't stop it."Almost" unstoppable, agreed.
