Well, after Ryv's last hiatus it got to a point where Tiny outright became a more "meta player" than him. I remember Ryv was winning like 20 matches a day, and still couldn't take the lead. Has a lot to do with ELO and all, but also with the grind machine Tiny is. Also, they were fairly 50% on win/loss ratio, so there's that as well.
Yeah, I think all those added up. But it's funnier to think that Tiny is the main reason people quit Pox. Ban Tiny, imo.
