ah yeah, also variant 6:
say no to mTIE and offer your opponent to play TIE while you are using CT.

It's in fact the same as his variant 4 breaking the deal, only difference is whether you break it by normal or CT.

You have option number 5: say no for TIE-TIE and offer him normal-TIE then you turn advantage (in terms of your thinking) to your side.


You mean tell him that he can play TIE while I play normal?

Exactly, deals are not just TIE-TIE, I have played several times TIE-normal or normal-TIE on deal and once even normal-normal on deal.

Mmmm...I see your point, but that's kind of option 2, where I don't agree to the TIE-TIE.
But, let's say that I counter the TIE-TIE with a normal-TIE, like you said. Why would team Y agree to this? He's throwing away his advantage. Besides, if I were team Y, I would ask myself:
"Why would he want to play normal when I'm the stronger team and I am the clear favorite for this game? He knows something I don't know. I don't want to lose this one, screw it, I'm playing normal. Better safe than sorry."


How did those games when you played TIE while your opponent played normal turn out? Did you win all of them? Well, you might have, you have a very solid team

Someone can you offer TIE-TIE even if he wants play TIE anyway (or just doesn't want to play TIE-CT). But you don't know it when he is asking for TIE-TIE. But in this case he could agree with your re-proposal of normal-TIE. I think it worths ask him. If he refuses you wouldn't still be in worse situation than before.
It happens me at least once, I played match where I would have agreed to TIE-normal, but as I saw on forum that my opponent is very confident of strength of his team I offered him TIE-TIE and he accepted it.
Deals are sometimes about negotiation and some kind of "psychological war". Some managers are saying that it's obvious what asking team would play without an agreement but it's not true. Sometimes even I don't what I will play if opponent refuses my offer so how the others could know it?

tie vs normal was quite normal on nt level, where ct are more common(a and neckbreaking) then at least the league i play.

But when you have clearly the better team and suggest a Tie vs Tie, such a onesided deal would be more a joke for the one who get him and i believe in such cases they got broken more often. But when you say i am afraid of your ct, so that i wouldn't play tie against you but the enthusiam would be nice for future games so i suggest you a normal vs Tie ... Then i got an enthusiam boost, and you have a little chanche and can still crunch another opponent.

I didn't read all answers but my proposal is: if you don't want to give any comments for TIE-deal, do not read your bb-mail before game. Your opponent can see if you have read your bb-mail or not.....

If you go to BB-mail, and then go to sent messages, there will be a envelope next to the messages you have recently sent. If it is closed then the person has not opened the BB-mail yet, but if the envelope is open it means they have opened your message.
