There was something off early game with them for me.
I have no knowledge of Catboi scum play, I was gone essentially the past 2 years, and that's apparently when they started doing well
It felt like they were oiling themselves up to be a slippery cat this game, if that makes sense, and that's something I like to do in these big games.
Getting heat early in the game, gets attention on you, but allows you to be part of the narrative for the majority of players who that's gonna be one of the main things they remember, which lets them pivot well as the game continues, and use that early heat as defense, even though you can get brought up to like E-2 as scum, and have it not matter too much early because people will chicken out, scum and town alike.
I'm also slightly afraid to push them more because I dont want to be threat night killed, but we've pushed past that point, I guess.
I much prefer the angle where scum think they can 1v1 me.
