“This was Mahonen's first game on FUMBBL. He's played BB before but it was a while ago.

You can kinda tell on both.

He's got all the basics down fantastically well. I was quite impressed. Most people take a while to pick up on proper blocking and assists and such but he had it all down. Another, mostly unrelated note, is that he's a blissfully fast player. He knows what he's doing and he just goes to it, rather than sputtering for ages over what to do next.

Tactics wise, he had great setups and mostly good plays lined up but he just needs a little practice at managing those risks. Too often early turnovers ended a promising stretch. Several dodges into TZs were made before they were really necessary and it cost him some. I have the utmost confidence, however, that he'll pick that up quickly enough once he gets a few more games back in under his belt.

As far as advice I could give, I'd just say to play a few more "practice" games and get back into the swing of things. Once you have a slightly better grasp of the order in which to move those rats, I think you'll quickly close that score differential. It's just a matter of remembering to do it and getting back in the habit.

Thanks again for the match and the company, Mahonen. PM me if you have any more questions or get those rats in shape for a rematch. Also, sorry about the niggle!”
