To beat the Chinese on Balance and generally improve your skills, you need to focus on training, not on organizing clownish tournaments.
For example, after playing a game, you upload the turn-by-turn saves, and then team members analyze them under a microscope, pointing out where mistakes were made and what could have been done differently.
Plus, different types of "drills" – for example, practicing finding the opponent (not through Global Offensive). Following the scheme I described in the Round Table. After studying the theory and doing hundreds of practice runs, Balance will become like a second home.
Gaming skill grows through training, not through tournaments. Tournaments are more about developing competitive skills.
