Grey GooTeam Fortress 2
Axis by axis
Execution6 vs 7
Team Fortress 2 leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Grey Goo
Goo expansion rate timing and unit special abilities need precise control
Team Fortress 2
Projectile aim and rocket jumps reward hands
Reads7 vs 7
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Grey Goo
Three-faction asymmetry makes opponent tech choices hard to predict
Team Fortress 2
Spy/sniper duels are pure prediction
Variance2 vs 3
Team Fortress 2 leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Grey Goo
Map resource spread is fixed; minimal in-game RNG
Team Fortress 2
Random crits and spread inject RNG
Optimization7 vs 5
Grey Goo leans clearly harder on optimization.
Grey Goo
Goo creep routing and tech order are well-defined optimization problems
Team Fortress 2
Class loadouts and map routes solvable
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
