I don't think them sucking at bw has any effect on the legitimacy of their articles. I find it awesome actually that they write from a more "fanboy/enthusiast" perspective. | ||

Lasted until I played my first match against someone from TL. Now it feels more like the other way around ^^, those who post a whole lot per week usually dont play that much, incontrol being one of very few exceptions. | ||

When they are in their prime, they are usually still playing their respective games. | ||

Did not mean it that way, meant it in the way that it should not be a surprise he is bad since none of the writers here are actually good, since he was assuming a writer would be good :p I have no problems with the articles the people here write since pretty much all of them are excellent, well written, well thought out and a million times more articulate than I could have ever written them. + They do lots and lots of volunteer work making this site as great as it is. That is not to say I don`t correct people when they are making obvious mistakes in comments regarding the games (Hi PLexa`s powerrank) but I still highly respect the work these people are putting into their writing. | ||

I'm decent, but I've never written anything for Final Edit or News... mostly just lame blogs about Zerglings and Probes. I would write something for the Pro Scene, but it seems like everyone just has it covered, so I don't want to double up on articles or steal their thunder. That's why I just write silly stuff | ||
