Famous Main Squeezes

  • Quote

Post by EGCTV »

Last night during the Fitz-Riot show match, someone in chat had what I thought was an excellent idea of basically doing a concept based on players' well known main squeezes. Not sure what that would look like yet, but would be interested in a bit of crowd sourcing as to the player most known for having each civ as their clear main squeeze (or being generally known for having special skills or history with that Civ). This isn't necessarily who is the best at the civ (because then it's like Haitch/Kaiser/Knusch for like 10 between them; but rather the players currently playing that are most associated with specializing.

Ao far I have:

Brit - GUA
China - Mitoe
USA - AIz
Sweden - Drongo
Lakota - Fitzbro
Portugal - Breeze
Dutch - Harrison
Ottoman - SoldieR?
Spain - Piroshiki?
French - Sam?
Japan - IamTurk?

Which of these can be better? What about: Haud, India, Germany, Aztec, Inca, Russia?

Aztecs would be diarouga or Garja. India would be tit I guess ?
Kynesie also has a good claim at Ports and Japan.

Germany is Kaiserklein obviously and Russia is Hazza5413.

Adding inactive or pr 25 players is kinda pointless, no? No offense, but it would make little sense to have Greatscythe vs Hazza. I know it's not just about the best players (see the opening post) overall, but at least like pr 30+ or so would make sense, right?

I know, I edited it. If this is going to be some sort of showmatch or tourney, some level cap would prolly make sense (or at least an indiciation of which level everyone is at, respectively, bc EGCTV might not know that in detail).

Maybe I have misunderstood the concept of a main squeeze.
I thought a main squeeze referred to a particular deck, and not the civ.

Well one way to do it would be as a giant team match where each team has to field every civ once (with some kind of draft process).

Ngl... In my mind, only @giveuanxiety interpretation of a main squeeze is valid, tbh.
