Favorites, to battle! - 6 - The Battle of Favorites! - 6

One must take into account not only the strength of the towns, but also one's experience on the template, as well as the comfort of playing. If someone suddenly decides to "unexpectedly" play a new template in the tournament final against someone who has played it enough, that's not right IMO.

In such a situation, I would drag my feet on the deadlines, and in the meantime, I would play that exact setup as much as possible with different players.

I recall how, a long time ago, Cmapuk and I bickered over the Bai Cup a week before the first game, and during that time I managed to play 5 games with the drafted setup — I just kept knocking: "Palych, go red Conflux on blue swamp smka play."
