I have no Dream Team oppo, but there is one listed upstream that I have played and would most want to play again; Brian Martuzas. This was the most meshed of playing styles I've had in an oppo and that was what made it special. We both play fast, and off the cuff. Let's say that you have an in-game situation with 4 or 5 possible things you might do with a piece. In order of viability they are 50%-75%. Neither of us were the type to stare at the map for 10 minutes breaking down odds for this one unit, we both just played by general instinct and kept rolling. We might have inadvertently chosen to go with the 60% probability rather than the 70% one (unknowingly at the time), but we both had a good enough grasp of the game to know that we were making one of the more decent choices. Does this make sense? Going for an instinctually decent play and keep rolling rather than waste time figuring out the absolute optimal play. {This would just as much be my style in a tourney final, it's just how I love to play ASL}
Of course it was obvious by game's end that we were rankling each other's nerves somewhat, but that is to be expected when you've been playing a monster for 14+ hours against a fast/decisive opponent that leaves you no time to deepthink, just play by instinct. There are others I would love to play again, for various reasons, but none I would want to replay more. For me anyway, there is nothing better in ASL than finding someone who matches your playing style exactly.
although there is one of them that I’ve never beaten in a tournament game...
