3 ST? Go defensive !

[nikolgiorgos]

Hey, I want to show you an interesting match today. This is from CH.L. were one powerful player (I 'm afraid that it's very possible tom meet him in the final) lost a game in his group. And guess what ? The opponent was playing 3-4-3
The scouter one (obvious a T buyer or farmer, with a team full of scouts or x-scouts), playing always this formation, I 'm sure was playing attack and he is first in his league with 38-3 goals. The other one I 'm thinking was playing def. .The score was 0-1, 1-1, 1-2. I don't know if anybody was present but there something with counter 3 ST .What are you saying ?
Formation - stat - rates of the game.





score 1-2

If I was in his position I wouldn't dare to play against a powerful team with 3 STs . Finally he did it.

He had a good formation. One DMC with 3 DCs is a good defence formation against 3 ST. I usually like to have 4 defence with one DMC to defend against 3ST. It gives me more security and counter attack efficiency (my DMC has scored some goals).

[nikolgiorgos]

Why you think he lost ? He has at least 1 star more. Should he play def. instead ?

[El Duderino]

He should've played normal mentality.

[nikolgiorgos]

So doesn't need to play def. as you said in the beginning of the thread if the opponent has 3 STs but you are 1 star up better ?

[El Duderino]

Wait, I'm confused, who won? The person with 3 ST or 1 ST?

[nikolgiorgos]

The guy on the left (the "scouter" ) lost (in home) from the guy on the right who was playing with 3 STs.
The scouter was playing attack (always do), the other don't know.

[El Duderino]

That's why he lost then. Don't go attack mentality when you're against a highly offensive formation.

[nikolgiorgos]

Ok but what about Q . The scouter had 2 DC with 7* and one 6* and the 3 STs of the other have 2 5* and 1 4*. The same with MCs.

[El Duderino]

The quality doesn't mean much when it comes to order or tactics. I remember, on my old account, I faced a stronger Q narrow diamond.
I played a defensive V formation and won 3-0. You can still win even if your team is weaker.
