Some background
As most of you may know, Edd and I had a debate about the balance between allies and soviets awhile back. I claimed that the soviets are OP, while he claimed that that is bibblebabble, and it's simply a matter of who outplays who. To prove his point, he challenged me to a series with the condition of us playing off-faction; myself using the soviets, and him allies. I was defeated in that series, officially owing him a beer... and granting credence to his point too.
We have decided that it's time for round 2 and I must say, it's saltier than ever! . No reason to hide it folks: there is indeed a rivalry between us. The origin of which dates back to 2005 when I defeated him gg no re style on Golden state freeway in a pivotal tournament game, preventing him from achieving rank world no. 1 HOF.
Since that game, we have not once teamed up in 2v2 cm, always anchoring-up on opposite teams trading off beatings. And in 1v1, there is a long history of epic-game madness with gimmicky preparation and innovative strategic meta-gaming resulting in, again, a lot of tradeoffs. Our thoughts are often unaligned, which has lead to many debates about ra2. We both also have a semi-professional halo background, which spwaned quite a bit of trash talk as well back in the day....We even had philosophical debates a few times.
It all leads up to this. Hailing from opposite sides of the US....who will take it down: the best from the west or the beast from the east?
