another question i should put up is... how many 2nds would equal one win?

ill do that now


Do not please. They are two different things, and each one of them brings something different.

You will get a lot of promotion if you win a major tournament, if you get 2nd, You'll get some, but not 100 2nd places can take the spot for 1 win.

Actually "like July" is already almost the ultimate success in the BW World, winning OSL twice is way above any number of 2nd place finishes one can have. After all there are only 5 persons who achieved that as of yet (including one who won 3 times).

you'd be surprised how many people don't share that opinion, iirc there was a july vs yellow thread a while back where there were tons of people supporting yellow's side

I find the first and third polls to not come together.

Poll 1.
You would rather have one OSL 1st place, then drop off the face of the earth rather than being a consistent force to reckon with in the OSL & MSL.

Poll 3.
You would rather choose Midas's career of consistent Starleague appearances, but never acheiving a first place.

We have a conundrum.
Social Justice is a fools errand. May all the adherents at its church be thwarted. Of all the religions I have come across, it is by far the most detestable.

thats exactly what i was thinking, i'd rather win 1 and start sucking then to never win at all and get 2nd all the time.

Who do you consider the better player though?
The player who wins once then drops off?
Or the player who is always there with a great %?

ppl who don't do any kind of sport competitively underestimate how much of an accomplishment it is to be 'one of the best'.

who the hell voted for yellow, seriously... and Casy's career is just getting going. Once midas wins, then and only then will it be worth voting for his scenario

well you can't really say "once he wins" because i only made it "like midas" because he never actually won a starleague yet, so if he wins one it'll be "like goodfriend" or someone else who hasn't won one

OT: Payton got one, no?

payton contributed to the victory, but i don't think people will remember him as fondly as if he won one in seattle

winning one on the steep decline of your prime years settling for mid-level exceptions on pseudo-allstar teams like the 04 lakers or 06 heat are like the cop out way to get a championship -_-

still, he won one so i guess that is what matters
