Profile of Tric

Due to the recent patch, the last part of this qualifier is delayed till next week, and will be updated in the main post to reflect this later on. The reason is the mod tools were not updated with this patch and we have to manually extract and test for any issues with the new abilities that are introduced.

This is also compounded by the fact that some of the mod team for SMC is sick, delaying us being able to test this properly or in a timely manner.

See you next week!

Tric how do you even play this map?

All our matches in this map have been close to a living hell.
There is no room to flank heavy armour. Lategame is just each side brute forcing through the main streets under the rain of arty and planes.

Its really hard to position fixed turreted TDs.

Sturms can just rush and camp both fuels. On the same note, while the northern fuel is neutral in terms of cover placement, the cover at the southern fuel favors the northern player.

Use your veto.

If there is no room to flank heavy armor, then turret-less tanks should perform really well. So which is it actually?

If sturms are rushing both a fuel and can just hold the point, well I have news for you, this happens on all maps, all the time. And both fuels have green cover to defend or assault from. So if you can provide some screens of what you are talking about that would be great, maybe something was overlooked during the update from over a month ago.

Literally 3 posts away is someone counteracting your statement, but they played the map 4 plus times and streamed it (before the updates even and against top 10 premades in voice chat), and actually took the time to not be condescending in their talks with me, so I was more than happy to listen, while you lead into your post with the first 4 statements are being either emotional (providing nothing), or literally going against themselves in one breath.

Also the "brute forcing through main streets under the rain of arty and planes"... have you seen late game tournament 2v2s? Quite literally all of them end up like this, do you want me to ban commanders with artillery or planes, not sure what you want me to do about commanders. Now for a post similar to ponary, with off map planes being too fast to react due to the positioning of the points on the edge of the map, that makes sense, here you don't provide a circumstance to say "well this is why" you literally just describing general gameplay... gameplay of a game that you most likely just lost.

I apologize for the mini-rant but I don't know what you want me to do with your post. I can't really glean anything from it other than you don't like it, and thats ok, hit it with a veto.

It already went through several iterations and there was a month long feedback period for it, not sure when the update is going to be, but you can post feedback in the corresponding place as Rosbone as stated.

Locking thread to avoid confusion.

Due to an illness I can't seem to shake we are postponing the semis/finals for SMC today until next weekend. This will also help with the overlap for KotH. Sorry for the people looking forward to it, but you still have KotH today!

For those of you that were around yesterday, this probably comes as no surprise, since I was losing my voice half way through the cast.

Cool fun fact
Although what I mean by blockin the small arms fire was, that the squad wouldnt shoot at all in spite of havin the enemy in it´s LOS and when ordered to attack, it tried to move closer to the enemy.

Ah, I see. There are two sections of cobblestone wall by the munitions that are LoS blockers, it is a mechanic that is never used, but the squad up on the "bridge" can see down over the wall where as the other units cannot.
