Again with the attitude. Seriously kid, spouting this Holy than thou bullshit is irritating.

First I'd like to ask, who here gives a flying fuck you practiced with Light and EG members? Was that relevant at all to the topic of you, a C player at one time or another participating in a "D RANK" League? I really don't see it. If this is how you get your name out there and people to look up to you, awesome. I'm not buying it, since it obviously didn't help you at all. And you sit there and tell eywa how to improve as a player...if you have this vast knowledge why are you "D" after being C two seasons ago? it's not like you suddenly forgot build orders and mechanics. After so much practice with all those EG and Light players you must have created some habits...so must have learned some little tid bits that give you an advantage. You know what you're problem is, it's not that you're merely D/D+. It's that you're scared of losing. Had you the balls that a lot of the better D league players from last season had you'd be playing in that league. You'd be stoked to practice with the likes of Lumire, Dsyxelic, Wallace, DryWater, Fold, S2Glow...but no, instead you make excuses that 2 years of time is enough time to completely deteriorate your gaming capabilities at a mere C- level.

You know why I have an attitude on ladder, because people like you spouting off how awesome they are when they win with their proxy gates and cannon rushes. You're not good, you either a caught the opponent by surprise or got a BO advantage, you aren't good, you're just good at all ins, Congrats. If this is anything like C league it was created to have players create groups of friends with people they might normally be in contact with and set up practices to help IMPROVE. How are you helping D/D+ players and even yourself improve when you advocate retarded builds in posts?

Here comes the explanation on how they need to defend cheese and transition afterwards and how cheese is part of the game.... Well to be honest playing standard, learning how to play standard and learning slight transitions off of standard are how you learn to become a better player. not getting 12 people to cheese you once a week for a win. And then those people come in here thinking they're fucking badasses because they went undefeated vs a bunch of D players. Listen every one of you D players in this league. You want to get wins or do you want to get better as a player? One is a fucking lot harder but one is a lot more rewarding than the other and gets you those wins without looking like a dick every week.

Want me to explain my attitude back in 09' compared to my attitude now? Back then I was a D+ player who wanted wins without the ladder effort and practice effort. And I would rage every time I lost because I thought I deserved that win. but you know what else came with that? after raging so much, I eventually sat down and stop bitching about losing and laddered my ass off. You remember TSL2? yea first season at C rank, you remember ISL2? Yea C+..You know why because that was my goal. And my goal now? Qualify for ISL3 and win C league and eventually hit B-. And you know what. I achieved every goal I set for myself in BW so far. I'm going to achieve these. That the fucking attitude you're talking about? THe one that got me from being in a better version of this league to where I am now, playing against some of the best foreign BW players in things like GC, ISL, and CL? I'm sorry that this attitude offends you, but it's who I am, and obviously people accept me for it. You know the reason? I ladder, I practice, and I improve...hell I'm coaching TAKK and advise them on builds. Ask them what they think of me. I bet you get positive feedback from most of them. I'm not here to make you happy, I'm here to be the best fucking BW player I can be, and if that means raging at a couple people to motivate myself then so be it.

I love how people like you bring that up as if it's supposed to strike fear into my heart. Like I'm supposed to cower because I was and still am BM at times. I bet you never rage quit a game. I bet you never BM'd a player in ladder. May he who is free of sin cast the first stone my son. I will gladly go through all 500+ replays from this season and pick out every single one I was BM in and post it here because I could care less.

Back on topic. When I signed up as a coach. I had the understanding all players were D/D+ and MAYBE low C-. Not previously C rank players, or even smurfs. And I also was under the assumption this league was geared toward creating an atmosphere for learning and fun. Not asshattery. I'm no longer extending my coaching to just TAKK. Any D ranks player looking for practice. I will attempt to help you become a better player. simply send me a PM with your Skype or your ICCup account and I will take time out of my schedule to watch replays, VODs, practice BOs, Practice Micro, or simply talk you through something. I'll do my best to help you improve as a player so you won't need ridiculous cheeses to win games vs your peers.


Here's an Ultimatum for you reaver. You play in D league until ASL ladder starts up. you finish in ASL ladder above 50% or above C- while actually trying: You drop out of DRTL and Join my team in CRTL. You don't do that? I drop this whole thing right now. How will I see if you're actually trying? Shimys know how to send me your reps. Why make this Ultimatum? I know multiple players who are doing the same thing because they are the fringe players. If they feel comfortable playing C- players they know they don't belong in this league and they feel they are depriving other D players that privilege of playing player their level.


Disclaimer: Shimy told me not to post anything to anger you because you're casting ASL. Well He's the organizer and I am merely a sponsor, whatever I said in the post is my own thoughts not his.
