Many players will simply throw their hands up, spam a 'Crying' emote, and stop playing cards entirely, allowing the opponent an easy, uncontested victory.
This article explores the psychology of the 'clutch', why giving up is the only guaranteed way to lose, and how to execute the ultimate underdog comeback.

The All-In Gambit
If you are hopelessly behind in overtime and defending perfectly is no longer mathematically possible (e. If you have any issues pertaining to exactly where and how to use tower rush, you can speak to us at our website. g., they are just cycling Rockets at your tower), you must execute a 'Hail Mary'.
It forces the opponent to panic, potentially causing them to miss their final spell or misplace their defense, granting you the miracle victory.

Fight for every single pixel of health, punish their arrogance, and steal the victory.
