I've to say 4-5-1V isn't 4-5-1V.
As I said, my friend lost with it. I also saw, that the semifinals my (final) opponent has beaten another friend, which used 4-5-1V. He was slightly weaker than me. 4:0 and 4:1, at both games, my opponent was overall better.
Now at final, I started 4-5-1V. I won 3:0, my opponent had only 4 SoT, we had 10, we were overall better.
All 4 (incl. my final) games where exaclty the same: same tatics, full moral, max. win bonus.
1. friend was 3% weaker than the opponent
2. friend was 2% weaker
We were 3% stronger.
Can it be that only 6% made such a difference?
Or are my the individual skill of my players important?
