I could understand your view if you only watched the final, because we can all agree that our defence was not as stable as it usually is. Despite that, I don't think I can agree with your statement that wroz and jasko were "outperformed", since the defence of Deathwish also had moments like this where we broke through easily and could've scored (So not from counters). Both teams had moments like this but overall it was a good game from both sides.
However, when you watch more of our games, especially of the last FM season, it should be obvious that our defence is pretty good. After all, you don't concede 4 goals in 21 FM games when your defence is garbage and I think everybody can agree on this. This is probably the only team that I have played in where I could comfortably wait for the ball to come, without worrying of conceding (except in the final obviously). I don't think you can say that vegeta and I carry the team all the time when our team, atleast in my opinion, is a nice collective of players whose playstyles really complement each other. This was even more visible when we just started with the FM season, but due to performance issues in haxball after I upgraded (
) my cpu, I can't play the same as I did back then, which is a major reason why our attack is not as fluid as it used to be. A good example of the gamestyle I meant is Matchday 2 (SA vs InB) of last season, take a look at that if you're curious. Most goals of ours were team plays anyway, I only scored 2 1v1 goals or something...
In my opinion what we achieved with SA is a real team achievement, and you are not giving credit where credit is due if you say that it is all vegeta and me. Wroz and jasko fully deserved winning everything they've won, I would even say that their (positive
) impact was bigger than mine overall and I certainly wouldn't swap vegeta, wroz and jasko for anybody else. I can confidently say that Smokin' Aces is my favourite team I have played in and I'm glad I was able to end my 'career' at this team.
Now let's quickly turn this back into a meme thread..
