Here's My Hot Take

May 16, 2021 by CheapCheep
And then I'm done because I can't bring myself to care about Stars unless I'm hosting a special version of one with my team.

Do I think Pinzu would have won if they weren't a mod? Probably.

Do I think the fact Pinzu is a mod helped? Sure.

Do I think Pinzu wins solely because he's a mod? No.

Being a mod gives more exposure, so more people know who Pinzu is than your average player. That's a given, and the players should have taken that into account and strategized around that. But Pinzu played a good game, and was strategic enough to ensure he wasn't the vote in most cases and could work around any given obstacles.

The theory that just because you're a mod means you win isn't true. I can confidently say I wouldn't win your average game for a variety of reasons. One being it's a time commitment, and I'm not exactly thrilled to put myself in that type of chaotic environment any time soon. Another being I've never played the game before so my knowledge about how to play well is limited at best.

So like....you won't ever see me playing a Stars game. But that's not done so much out of being mindful of my own image, it's mainly because I have no desire to play. Even if I won some sort of a raffle and got in for free I still couldn't bring myself to play hard and take it seriously.

So I mean I don't know. Stars is a popularity contest but I think I can safely say most people knew who Pinzu was before he even became a mod, and he's a great Stars player. So for people who say he wins here just because he's a mod....I think the logic is a bit shakey. I'm sure it helped to an extent, but not on the level anyone would expect it to make a huge difference in the outcome.

Anyway keep me out of your Stars blogs thanks

Pinz would have won without being a mod, he's very well known and loved and he's a popular mod because he was well known and loved.

I honestly believe if he wasn't a mod he would have had a much higher percentage.
