After streaming WTC and talking with some of the top players there, one thing surprised me:

A lot of the strongest players seemed much less focused on killing units than most people expect.

The conversations were much more about:

• future scoring
• board state prediction
• activation timing
• objective pressure
• “what will the game look like in 2 rounds?”

One Top 8 player told me that the biggest difference between good players and truly strong players is that strong players constantly understand the “state of the game.”

Meaning:

• who can realistically score
• what pieces still matter
• what threats are actually relevant
• how the score will probably evolve

Honestly, after watching and streaming WTC games for days, I think there’s a lot of truth to that.

Some games looked “lost” long before units actually died.

Do you think competitive Legion players overvalue killing power compared to scoring and positional control?

Or is that just something visible at very high-level play?
