Or atleast stopped trying too hard. Now what we have left is players who are desperately trying to become good and get a name for themselves. They put so much time and effort into the game only to realize how hard it actually is to become good. These players seem have a very low self esteem. They BM people all the time but are actually angry at themselves because they know their limits and dont have the self-esteem to press toward the next skill level or, better yet, quit the game even if it has long since stopped being any fun. What i always thought too. It seemed clear that when [GG99]Slayer quit in the spring of 2001 there would never be anyone to come nearly as close to the koreans as he was. The pro-gaming scene had exploded a while back and would just accelerate away from us poor foreigners. After he quit alot of other big names quit or at least stopped caring/trying and the new generation of players or whatever took too long to step up and after that there wasn't much of a chance for anyone to catch up with koreans. It does help alot tho to just be in the right environment and actually play with koreans on a daily basis, live, not on the internet, that's helpful too but not the same thing at all. I think actually with the right motivation and dedication and also willingness from koreans to actually HELP there would be a handful of foreigners who could become average players on pro-teams at the least. I don't know any of today's players really but except for Slayer and obviously Grrrr..., ret strikes me as a player who could have had a shot if he had gone, Saft too possibly at the right time but as for todays' players... Today's players don't seem to have the right mentality. | ||

If this happened in a real sport no-one would criticize Idra. Why does Idra have to give the other guy special favours over and over? edit: apparently if they actually fully enforced the rules Newface would have been out before he even showed up, so why is it such a big deal that he got the boot after breaking the rules (by disconnecting) twice more? you dont need to be "anal" over the rules all the fucking time, come on. | ||

 So basicaly Idra says : The admin forced him to take the walk over. I dont know if anyone would have told the admin to rethink his decisions if its in your own favour.. But still it all looks pretty strange, if u see that 2 games. You are like.. woah.. why did this gamer advance when he was quite raped.. thx rekrul u made my day xD p.s : srry @ testie for saying that you use excuses when u lose <3 | ||

I personally doubt it. Idra your main line of defence is time - that you waited for Draco for over 40 min (like Testie admitted) but assuming he would have raped you like he did later i just assume that Draco calculated this just not to wait for the other players to finish theirs games. :D I won't comment going into DND mode (i just do it when im afraid of dischack). Another thing worth mentioning is admin's behaviour. In such important tourneys admins should be picked more carefully, they should be able to verify one's advantage in the game - it would spare unnecessary flaming. | ||

Today's players don't seem to have the right mentality. I agree. The real good and S-class foreigner players (Maynard, Grrr, Saft, Nazgul, Slayer, Sven, NTT, Elky) retired smartly and at the right time. What we have left now are like B class players. Like rekrul said, how many times had Testie beaten Smuft before ? None. Still at 2007, Smuft comes out of nowhere and 2-0 him ? Tack about talent. | ||

What IdrA says/does online is one thing, his physical appearance is another thing. Don't be a fucking moron and get the two mixed up. | ||
