Need some help, actually…

first you can switch your quicksand code from this:

def quicksand():
    et11 = hero.findPlayers(1)
    et22 = hero.findPlayers(2)
    et00 = hero.findPlayers(0)
    
    if hero.isReady("quicksand"):
        if len(et11) >= 2: 
            play_if_ready("quicksand", 1)
            play_if_ready("press", 2)
        elif len(et22) >= 2:
            play_if_ready("quicksand", 2)
            play_if_ready("press", 1)
        elif len(et00) >= 2:
            play_if_ready("quicksand", 0)

into this:

def quicksand(lane):
    enemy = hero.findTheirPlayers(lane)
    if len(enemy) >= 2:
        play_if_ready("quicksand", lane)

it’s much more clean (:D)

one thing else to note is the way you’re noting the enemy summons below, the reinforcement strat is placed on the lowest part which means it will run on last priority so you might have to fix that
