He's played a total of 8 games, that definitely quantifies as new. Well, at least from my standpoint, anyway. (With a lower than 50% winrate across those games, I might add)
I don't have a logical explanation, per se, since he isn't being logical. He's attempting an aggressive reactionary test playstyle which is being incredibly detrimental to how people perceive him. This is evident from the content of his mafiascum games.
Consequently, what people have been pushing him for (me included) no longer holds any water.
