JJOCT7 R2M8 Jojolity

Judge Baseball Furies (Ceep)

This is going to be short, because I have no real notes on this. Both teams did great, and were able to get the match done in a really, genuinely clever way with there being no pacing issues. All I can really say is “great job!” And “8/10 for both teams”.

Vasil’s jojolity was pretty well realized. I would’ve appreciated some more focus on flair and bombast, but that doesn’t mean I was dissatisfied. Using All of your headstart time on one massive thing to immediately drop on your opponent was a fun play and tone setter, and the general focus on distractions to slow the opponent down was a good call here, culminating in the mother of all distractions, Crab. I’ll give it an **8!**

Chandra’s jojolity was very well realized! It’s calculated, efficient, and really gets that Payday heist vibe right from the jump. The strat has a focus on using immense force in focused points - drilling through the bunkers was a good play for this already, drilling through one particular spot instead of dividing resources for a divided assault, but the way you maximize the use of tactics like these to do as much for you as humanly possible is what really bumps it up for me. Youg et a **9!**

This strat has made me realize that Vasil reminds me a lot of my own T6 character, Solsbury Hill- just, well...Better executed.

Straight **8s** for both Quality and Jojolity. I don't have much to say- it's just a very good and well-put together strat. While nothing really made me jump out of seat or drop my jaw, it's very thoughtfully put together and well-executed. The jojolity had a lot of fun and important moments, and it's a good example of how the ideal "base" Vasil strat ought to be done.

I think what pushed it over from a 7 for me is just that everything has this extra bit of effort put into it- thinking about the weight of minions, how they're shaped, and just how everything will actually act on the field that shows that the weaknesses of individual pieces of the whole were accounted for.

For Chandra, I've elected to give straight **7 Qual, 6 Joj**. For this strat, I feel a lot of the way I did about Vasil's; if you put Chandra in a situation, this resembles a lot of what I would expect her gameplan to be in a well organised and efficient state. That's also where I think this strat falters a bit; I don't see anything within it that I wouldn't really be surprised to see her do in any other match. I think the basic thrust of it was fun with keeping the goons together, but the sort of go-to gameplan led to a jojolity I had difficulty seeing in the strat at points.

I do want to emphasise that I don't want to put this strat down- Quality is a measure of a kind of "objective" (as much as it can be) expression, but in terms of acting in opposite to Vasil's strat I think it's more than done what it set out to do- the closeness of these scores should be a testament to that. Both teams should pat themselves on the back for a fantastic preformance: this is one of T7's winners.
