Is there anyone with a high CR that isnt just an expert at choosing games that they cant lose ?
Last night I spent 45 minutes asking people for games and It seemed the people most likely to dodge a fairly even TR/TS match where those with the highest CR?
Generally speaking the games i othered looked im my eyes to be a reasonably fair fight .
Ah well each to their own i guess  |

Sigh......... not this again..........
NO, NOT ALL HIGH CR COACHES GET THERE BY ONLY PLAYING EASY MATCHES!!!
In fact, my own is approaching an all time high, just because I played some matches I was likely to lose, but won anyway.

There are true coaches with a high cr who play everybody... Candlejack, Emphasy and some more come to my mind.
Oh... on the other side there are some coaches with high CR who don´t play against coaches with a CR smaller than 150 or so... |

You spent 45 minutes. Poor you. I've gone through entire days on the gamefinder without finding a match that I deemed worth playing. But that's because I'm somehow a cherrypicking coach that just has to have a higher CR than you.
That said, your teams don't look scary (at the time of writing). Why you're not getting games is beyond me, unless people are afraid of two werewolves. |

raise up to a 200TS and my chaos will kick your necros butt. To death.
raise down, and my HE will do.
However, the pro won't play (I wait for the secretive CandleJack to announce pro elf XLF) nor the orks that aren't really a team of mine (it's my RRR slot, but I don't feel like playing one currently). |

yeah I was a bit mystified really , i can understand if i have 6claw/ rsc and 3 dps , but my team is mainly a ball playing team  .
Maybe you are being too picky if you go whole days without finding a match that you think you can deem worthy . Maybe a bit cherrypicky even |

I'll trash the Rats with my Flings, or the Orcs with my Flings or Gobbos. You know, when I'm free to play. Then you will be slaughtered, laughed at, and accused of cherry-picking all at once! |

Only a fool would think that a well coached ( filthy dirty stompy ) halfling /gobbo team was a juicy cherry |

Well, I have come to the same conclusion sometimes. Very few ppl with high CR challenge me with a team that is equal in TR/TS, usually about 10-20 above. And I often get a No when I challenge... Why? I don't know. I'm a sucky player, and they'd probably win easily with equal teams.
Anyhow, games vs low CR is more fun. The high-CR-dudes (most of them, with a few brilliant exceptions) takes their CR way to seriously. |

I am not worried about CR, I do care somewhat about a teams win / loss ratio though ...
My CR is a bit weird though, I had a CR of 159-160 ... played a Smack and suddenly it was 170! |

macavity's one are.
I would never play them. It's like wearing a BIG "I'm THE cherrypicker" flag.
Besides Busko asked me for a game recently and I lost (but it was hard fought good game. I limited him to 2 fouls only -vs 1 for me if I remember well-) I opted to play to win because I could have stalled for a draw.
was kinda surprising since he is known for beeing a cherrypicker.
I am not at Csonti or Smess level but I can give a hard time to an opponent. There are better cherrys than me I think (add to this I am a big lucker).
ps: on a side note, the current Saruman profile is named Soarenhightower :p . oooppppssss how could I say that
