If anyone played the amount he played they would have gotten a similar result. People are still trapped in the mentality that you've got to have some kind of unwritten gift to be able to be good at this game, and feel that they must obviously not have it when they play 5 games a day and struggle to make C- yknow, cause it's easier than saying - "maybe if I want to get good, I should play more." I'm no Kolll fanboy at all, more of the opposite. But you do realize there is a shit ton of players on ICCup having the same or even more games played than him and they still suck. Just last night I played some dude in BWCL who had like 200-200 C+ (Kolll when just practising has the same winratio at that level) and I managed to expand into his 2nd nat on Collo while building Scouts there. While it sounds like bragging, it's just the most recent example why your statement isn't true at all. Yes, you need to play an insane amount of games to get this good in that short amount of time BUT, it's not like anyone could do it. | ||

You can publish your book about your life as 13 year old boy who likes women clothes and proceeds to make sex change operation and be called hero for your success story. Like it counts, unless you win an olympic medal of course =] | ||

I believe that everyone could get to at least C lvl in an iccup season, and probably B or so in 2 (But these numbers(LETTERZ!) are completely made up on the spot) I just think it takes more than brutal´mass gaming, i think you have to focus when you play, don't watch TV meanwhile, you have to not tilt when you lose, think about why you lost/won, study BO's, and so on. Saying "I played 600 games in 2 months and im stuck at D+" does not mean you have no talent - you might just not be playing the right way. And i think it's extremely impressive that koll could do what he did - takes real dedication. Mad street cred to him and his crew. | ||
