Table of Counter Formations 2.0 - Which formation to use?
Hello,
as our great member "July Fourth" decided to edit the starting post of the old thread, I decided to continue the thread.
All given information on this thread is subject to change. New formations and counter formations will be added at some point. Please note that the given information in this thread is not always correct and that you can still lose against your opponent even though you are using a counter formation.
Credits to July Fourth for creating and maintaining the old thread.

You can ask your questions about the formations in this thread. Feel free to post your successfull experiences and results against other formations in this thread. You can also suggest new formations and new counter formations.
I'm sorry if there are a few old formations missing, I got those formations from the most current Google Cache of the old thread.
