yo i got super confused. i actually played vs fatty and won and forgot to post and this week i was wondering why i wasn't getting a tag for dpp uu cup but i got coinflipped out lol

kristyl has already made some really good points but i can't stress enough how good of a metagame dpp is. you have consistent teams that you can use pretty much every game to outplay, yet you have plenty of room for creativity and using different stuff, while still covering most of the metagame...
