I dunno, C9 has a lot of these sorts of drafts and I always kind of scratch my head at them.

I think of them as "I'm better than you" drafts, because they sometimes vary in the fundamentals, but there's always an element of it being a difficult to execute on comp, and almost always one that needs to win and keep winning or else. (Hence why I call them "I'm better than you drafts", you have to be the better team by far to pull them off consistently.)

They don't always lose with them, I just don't fully understand WHY these drafts. They seem like they are difficult, but don't gain that much from being difficult, if that makes sense.

Same thing with this comp. It seems like there are easier, more reliable ways of winning-- and that international teams are much more likely to have the skill to pick them apart. So if you don't need these comps to beat your current opponents, and you international opponents are unlikely to be vulnerable to them...what's the point in practicing them in the first place?

Maybe I've got bad assumptions in there somewhere.
