![[image loading]](http://daswarsimgroben.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/winstreak1.gif) I come of an awesome winstreak. Even winning all the placement matches with a real life buddy of mine, who's playing in silver (I'm playing in platinum and diamond in team games). We even won against a team who were Masters as our last placement match and got promptly put into diamond. Awesome, awesome, awesome. I'm just happy and wanted to share    | ||

Haha, oh man I had to say that. Congrats on your win streak, it always feels good to have a great run. It's good to hold onto that when you drop 5 games and can't figure out why. | ||

M.Du. seghe, O.N. sigr, O.E. sige), from PIE base *segh- "to have, to hold" (cf. Skt. saha- "victory," sahate "overcomes, masters;" Gk. ekhein "to hold" Interestingly, "siege" is unrelated. It's from the Old French sege, "seat/throne". The English translation "win" and "victor" are from entirely different words: fusion of O.E. winnan "struggle for, work at, strive, fight," and gewinnan "to gain or succeed by struggling, to win," both from P.Gmc. *wenwanan (cf. O.S. winnan, O.N. vinna, O.Fris. winna, Du. winnen "to gain, win," Dan. vinde "to win," O.H.G. winnan "to strive, struggle, fight," Ger. gewinnen "to gain, win," Goth. gawinnen "to suffer, toil") and mid-14c., from L. victorem (nom. victor) "a conqueror," agent noun from pp. stem of vincere "to conquer," from PIE base *weik- "to fight, conquer" (cf. Lith. apveikiu "to subdue, overcome," O.C.S. veku "strength, power, age," O.N. vigr "able in battle," O.E. wigan "fight," Welsh gwych "brave, energetic," O.Ir. fichim "I fight") | ||
