Overconfidence

My last 2 matches have started as such:

At the beginning of the game, TTR appeared to already have taken this victory to the bank.

and

Quote:

Starting off, underestimation of the opposition made TTR players perform way below their normal capacity.

Confidence is wonderful and its a team that's ranked 6th in my series, so its definately overconfidence. So, is this a case of the 6.6 match engine being more descriptive, or bad luck?

Fire any psychologists you have. I don't see how it would be the engine being more descriptive as overconfidence has always been reported every time.

Ditto what TP6 said.

How many psychs have you had the last 2 weeks?

The_herd · 08-15-2004, 10:14 PM

I have 3. I've PIC'd every match, including cup, except 1 this season. Should I fire all, or keep 1 around?

TargetPractice6 · 08-15-2004, 10:22 PM

I think you'd be fine with 1.

Is it possible to get over-confidence when playing a higher ranked team? My confidence went up to wonderful after our 8-1 crushing of the #5 team (we were #6) and we play at home against the #2 team next week. I already fired my psychos.
