Windrider is... an army that a lot of people seem very excited about that I just do not get the sauce out of.

Tyler BortelGUEST
I talk with a fellow Team USA member, Ruben Zhao, who is a bigger name in the field who really, really loves Wind Rider, and man, As soon as you know what that army is doing, it just doesn't have the juice to get through some of these higher durability toughness skews, right? And a lot of the missions that that kind of army wants to play, a lot of the disruption stuff in particular, Disruption into Purge has to run in, take the middle, and hit a button.

Tyler BortelGUEST
And my God, if you just park your whole fricking army on that center objective, because you know that your opponent can't do the kind of damage to face check you, or God forbid, if they try to face check you and fail that they then get tabled, right? They're never going to hit the button, man.

Tyler BortelGUEST
And as a result, the rat primaries, the recon and the disruption, they just don't have the juice into purge that I really think that they were trying to have.

Tyler BortelGUEST
The second major strategy that you might consider is try to run and gun and risk it all and make it a coin flip.
