[QZGS Meta] on the differences between the four master tacticians
This is all quoted from Fenes (TheDefenestrator on AO3), who has given me permission to share some of her meta onto tumblr. Although in an informal format, I think these analyses really are fascinating and a worthwhile read. Thanks Fenes for being so insightful and awesome!
Future posts, if I get my stuff together, will be tagged /fenes-talks and /qzgs-meta
āI really appreciate that all the master tacticians have different flavors to them
like ZXJ is careful to a ridiculous degree
and people act like YWZ is similar to him but heās really not? He thinks things through but heās way more willing to make assumptions than ZXJ is
which is why ZXJ has a defensive style while YWZ has a predictive style
like YWZās gambit against Wei Chen when he won those three consecutive battles? So impressive, really takes an understanding of the other personās psychology, as well as an insanely good grasp ofā¦basically everything, the surroundings, the characters, the skillpoints, the cooldowns, the decisions people will make
but it also took a huge leap of faith, in the idea that he assumed he could predict Wei Chen as a person to that degree. almost psychological in his planning
ZXJ is thorough, which means he can plan for anything, and he has lots of responses memorized, but he needs to be on a team with someone like HWQ taking up half the shot-calling to really be effective, because he isnāt proactive enough to do it on his own
heād crumble much more easily, somewhat like XSQ does/did, but worse
XSQ is interesting because his tactics were originally somewhere along the lines of āmake the most of what youāve got"Ā
more careful than YWZ, but more proactive than ZXJ
on the other hand, without any real "starsā on his team, heād have to be more careful than YWZ
YWZ works really well with an opportunist because heās pretty good and going with the flow
when youāre a predictive kind of tactician, you have to beāthereās no way youāll be right 100% of the time
unfortunately I didnāt get to see much of XSQ before his tactics changed, but from pure contrast Iād say that āfocusing on being underestimatedā worked at least partially because he underestimated himself
And because people canāt believe in teamwork the way they can in a single star player
