I was starting to rant on the last demo, so i figured i would post this demo and tell a story. I know most of you don't care / heard this before. Here is the 2nd round of the wrh tourney me vs nogame 2nd game on dm3. This is my favorite game of all time that i played. Not so much how i played or what happened in the game, but the buildup. Nogame and i used to play on a regular basis back when i was a hpb. Yes, i have a lot of wins on ng and a lot of the old dz as hpb, but they were some of the hardest players i have ever played. I also enjoyed playing mason (ng) A LOT. He wasn't ur typical player. He was very old skewl and very chess like. This game was built up a bit. Prior to this mason to raija in #wrh that i had a snowball chance in hell to beat him on dm3. I wasn't really preparing for the tourney at all at this point and he was my next match, so i spent the next two weeks learning his style by watching demos and having people play him and recording. Surprisingly, i believe he was studying me. Cause when the game was played, you will see the first 10 min of this game the strategy that was used on my pov was not my typical dm3 strategy. Surprisingly his was not either. We ended up playing like the opposite player. I figured the best chance i had to beat him was to use his strats against him and play just like him. Surprisingly, he decided to play just like ME. So for the first half of this game we played using the other person tactics and moves. Then about halfway through we switched back and u can see this i notced him change back and he got the advantage, so i went back to my normal tactics to even it out. All in all it was one helluve a game. Not so much flashy, but as far as intesity it was there. This game was not an aim whoring game or a fast paced game this is my generation of players playing at their best. Not giving anything away and playing tight aggressive *for u poker players*
anyway if u haven't seen this game please watch it, it is worth it. It is a gem that doesn't exsist nowadays. Maybe GYN can give me a play by play.=P
aighty *steps off the soapbox*

hehe, i didnt realize it until near end, but ive watched that match quite a few times when i was training myself on dm3. very well played. Great use of multiple strategies in a single demo.

pretty intense game i must say, and wow, a very nice kill with 11 minutes remaining. nice prediction rocket to prediction rail ;P. overall pretty standard dm3 play, i couldn't tell that you guys were switching strategies really :>. great game + OT.

Wasn't a complete strategy change but if u notice about half way through luci goes back to his old hpb runs and paths while nogame starts slowing down a lot playing the same angles that steve was playing at the start of the game.
