ITST adopts new set of rules

[Tuurbine]

Chapeau to the ITST management.

Thanks guys, I think this is an amazing move. I play with SAMALA but I really dont care if I cant use it because matches are going to be much more about wits than anything else.

God speed

That s a really GREAT NEWS, even if i loose more match!!!!
Majority here expects Fun, so thank u!!!

Only wish this would've happened before my last match....

But better late than never!

If anyone wants a fun coach to use, try Juraj Durech (Inside Out Master and Reach Swings Expert), and make one stroke as strong as possible.

You have to try to hit as many shots as possible with your strong side; but because you have Reach Swings Expert (and +15 to speed), you can leave one side of the court more open than usual, allowing you to hit more inside out shots, which are further boosted by Inside Out Master.

If you anticipate and move well, it's a very fun and effective setup.

I like 8-10-2 with this coach, which gives you a very balanced setup (most stats are around 60-70) with one really powerful weapon (I have 86 on fh). Serve is also quite strong, at 78, so you should be able to hit a lot of forehands on the first shot in the rally.

I have this setup for a while like it a lot.

I'm kind of curious to know, why Sahy Rabari (Crushing Passing Shot/Instant Rocket, FH/BH +10 Power +13 etc..) is not considered for that list.
Furthermore Petro Chesire has Poisoned Slices and no Slice Invasion and the only person to ever use it was me...
I'm really curious to know why this guy is considered stronger that the first one I mentioned or some other setups from the power side, which seem to be ignored.

Anyway, without the possibility of a PJQ and Samala opponent the good players will only be better than before...

[brazegoesmoo]

Waitaminute.. You mean I'm gonna get killed by people using a variety of different setups in tournaments now..?

[Rob ITST]

I'm kind of curious to know, why Sahy Rabari (Crushing Passing Shot/Instant Rocket, FH/BH +10 Power +13 etc..) is not considered for that list.

Because only coaches with TI or MD are banned.

Furthermore Petro Chesire has Poisoned Slices instead of Slice Invasion and the only person to ever use it was me...

Petro Chesire has TI.

[Crotatsuya]

So Instant Rocket with 80 FH and BH and 86 Power is weaker than regular Topspin Invasion with 79 Fh and BH and 77 Power? Great, I'll change to that setup then while being stunned in disbelief..

You might want to ban Jan Chalupa as well, for he has Topspin Invasion and Longer, Better, and people will cry when they see what angles this guy can produce.

Power guys will dominate from now on, here I said it first.

[Rob ITST]

Let me clarify.


Only TI or MD coaches are banned, not all TI or MD coaches.

Petro Chesire has TI and PS - not necessarily overly powerful, but the combination can be lethal if used in a cheesy way.

As far as other setups that may be overly powerful, time will tell.

[MrMackNasty]

So will the qualifying matches include these rules?

If so YAY!!!!!!!!

[Crotatsuya]

Not that I want to rage spam in this thread, but please do tell me how this cheesy way looks like gameplay wise if you are capable to do so.
When you put up these rules you got to be able to explain why you think the way you do. I agree with PJQ, I partially agree with Samala, I completely and utterly disagree with anything else. Just my 2 cents as usual.

Great Job ITST Team!
