Fair play?
#59
I don't know whether certain maps are imbalanced and I don't really care too much.
But. . .

Your comment is just glib assertion. It's obviously false for any sufficiently closely-skilled teams.

And your comment is just glib assertion with a single anecdote. And you don't even try to prove your claim in that single case. Here are a few factors off the top of my head that are not map imbalance:
- The psychological benefit of being on what you perceive to be the 'better' side of a map.
- Since the map has a 'good' side, both teams probably have more practice playing that side of the map.
- The order of the games leads to:
- Perhaps the team that won first became complacent in the second match.
- Perhaps the team that won first became (more) tired in the second match.

So,

No.

Nightmare was stating his opinion and not attempting to prove anything. But if you're going to try to disprove what he says and argue for your opinion, try to be more thorough than
Quote:It's obviously false
if you want to be taken seriously.
