okay, Qi, we know you're the best :)

not really. dunga has the best winning %. in any case, i watched gnuff's two recent losses and thought the games were odd. i started thinking "how does gnuff measure up? are these and some of his losses with sze representative of his 2v2 ladder game?" his loss to lawn is a pretty interesting game, even though i suspect it never should have come to that.

Unbeaten master race here. What do you mean by gnuff + self? You played with denzy as your puppet didnt you?

yeah. denzy quit warlight when we had about 2 games remaining. i finished the games and played another 5-8 games, while denzy would infrequently pop up to chat or make a move. without team chat, the 2v2 ladder is too boring to play alone.

gui look games, i invited you in a chat.

Did you do better when you were puppeting?

at first, yes (because i took over two games mid-game, which eliminated the need to think about picks, which is very boring when done alone). then after a few games the boredom of the template began to set in. by the last 2-3 games i didn't even want to play and became suicidal (in a wl context: ie, i just wanted to surrender/get booted before the games would start).

i bet gnuff had a similar experience. the template is only just bearable with a teammate who doesnt talk too much; it is not good for going solo. it is only fun if you have a lot of chat going on: talking stupid to the enemies, talking with the teammate. playing alone is like masturbating in a dirty, dark dungeon while surviving on cans of stale, salty Spam.
