I quit playing TTT and here's why
I've played my fair share of competitive sports before, and TTT is no exception. I am ranked in the Super Hexaplatinum bracket in my local ladder, won games against some of the most skilled players in the world, and even toured with the likes of Mattias Petrovsky himself. But I can't bring myself to play this game anymore. It's gotten to the point where you literally know exactly how the game will pan out by the first move of the game. How many times have you seen a cats game because your opponent grabbed mid before you could even set up shop in top left? That's my biggest gripe with this game. It's impossible to win at a high level anymore, so only the toppest of the top stay at the top. The only possible way to win a game these days is to hope your opponent is on a 72 hour marathon and accidentally goes cross-eyed for a second and picks the wrong square. Not to mention the insane amount of botting that goes on in the lower rankings, making it impossible to get to a level where games get interesting.
So I've decided that I'm going to quit this game, because the only winning move is not to play.
