Going first
Going first has long held the advantage in any game we play. From chess to Guild Wars, being in the lead gives you a better edge later on, despite all the sayings otherwise.In DotA, the first kill has a reward of extra gold for items as well as being able to drive away an opponent from your path. This makes you level up more rapidly than them.
In card games, the first to inflict damage or the equivalent to the opponent can sometimes cripple their game, especially those that destroy resources as well
In MMORPGs, the first one to slay the new big boss gains prestige and honor in addition to the nifty in-game stuff they get.
The first-mover always has an advantage though he must keep others from stealing it from them. I know I went more on the strategy side here, unlike what I usually do.
Well, besides the tactics and strategies, being first really takes some balls to do. It involves a great amount of risk, sometimes even destroying your chances of winning in the event of failure. Or, you may give an advantage to your opponent that will be very difficult to gain back.
What we should remember, though, is that we can risk a lot in games that we can’t do in real life. So, make the most of it! After all, it is just a game.
