Smashy memes ft DJ Steve - 5/6th Dutch nats

Okkdoko 1119

Playing Freedom has become a bit of a meme for me, and while I might have boasted in the past he's on par with Val etc deep down I know that's not really true. I just love shouting SMASH and knocking on my identity too much to go back. Breaking and installing your breakers with a discount and getting a 0 cost 0 MU sneakdoor is likely going to win you more games, but where's the fun in that?

For this final official nats I updated my previous list with 2 turtles since it helps long term vs Mti and against some rushy corps, and cut the David since breaking an Anansi once honestly doesn't help much. Getting sucker + turtle out is still the best way to beat glacier. No david also means clone chip is less needed, so I added career fairs which smooths out the deck a lot. Lastly I added DJ Fenris (100% choose Steve) to help recur Yusuf and econ, as well as for even more meme potential. It did a ton of work in 1 game, but most good players know to ICE HQ against Freedom anyway so it's not that great. As demonstrated by eventual winner @ryanbantwins, Dorm computer is the right choice instead. It costs 0 to install (I hear that's a good number), helps bypassing those pesky IP blocks, and keeps the meme value intact.

Finally a big thanks to Kelfecil for organising a smooth running tournament, all people for attending and the great games, the Belgian netrunner players (both those who came over and those cheering at home) for being great all these years, and the Brits for the fun times hanging out.

Proclaiming Val as probably better than Freedom... The Brit mentality is getting to you, noooooo. :'(

Good job on the 2 Turntables! DJ Steve needs 2 to reach his full potential. Noise only really mastered 1 and see what happend.
