The “Great Eight” Gambits
The mathematically inclined will quickly realize that there are only twenty-seven possible Gambits. All of them have been used and documented in tournament play. Each has several names from a variety of localities. There is no such thing as a “new” Gambit.
The “Great Eight” Gambits are the eight most widely used. There is nothing about these eight that make them superior to any other Gambits, although as a group they can be very effective. Several high-level players built careers on just these eight Gambits. They are, sorted alphabetically by their most common names:
- Avalanche (RRR)
- Bureaucrat (PPP)
- Crescendo (PSR)
- Dénouement (RSP)
- Fistfull o’ Dollars (RPP)
- Paper Dolls (PSS)
- Scissor Sandwich (PSP)
- Toolbox (SSS)
Legacy
Professional Rock-Paper-Scissors single-handedly took the trash leading to C'Thun from farm status status to something that can't be described. Fumanchu's introduction of the topic to Ventrilo, followed by Zeraja's dictation of the web page, resulted in a catastrophic amount of wipes -- which is saying a lot, considering the trash clear would routinely leave some raiders with broken gear anyways.
