That makes sense. | ||

That makes sense. 1. He has played 1 game so far against a B- player. He won it. 2. It was a 30 minute game, not cheese. 3. He was 69-7 coming into the game, and yes I know he newb bashed to get there, but it's still not a bad record at all to come into B- rank with. based on all this you really honestly believe he is NOT B material? I believe he is..... | ||

I believe he is..... Why are you trying to defend something so heartily that you cannot prove. He bashed the shit out of shitty players all the way to a certain rank only to get there that way? That makes no sense. It's slower and you gain nothing out of it. Maybe someone else is playing the account now? Maybe he got a lucky win? Anything is possible, but the guy is not good. Stop justifying your opponents. | ||

I believe he is..... How do you know how the game was just because it was 30 mins? maybe he 5pooled and killed all but 1 of his opponents workers but barely won still.... Just because a game is 30mins you got no idea how it was played, iv played 30mins game where I only made probes, pylons and cannons. Of course most likely its a straight up game, but you got no way to say if it is or not. | ||

Or maybe you're jealous because you've already reached your skill cap of D+ so you're nitpicking at everything he does to bring him down with you? Just wait & see. If he fails, then he'll just fade away like the hype. | ||

Keep flaming a guy who made a stupid blog almost (or over) a week ago with some stupid claims which he now says openly that were mistakes on his part? Stop being a fucking tool. Are you trying to be cool by beginning a pointless flame? I could dismantle you even after having killed off 2 probes/drones/scvs to start with. Let me know when you want to play a bet game. This has absolutely nothing to do with anything, but I just wanted to emphasize the point that a player who fails at SC despite having played it for a long time should not begin to talk about the competitive aspect of SC as if he held high expertise. You do lead team Light, but what would you personally know about who is what skill when all you do is sit on the sidelines with a finger up your ass. As to Saddles, he's nothing but the protoss version of lastShadow and I would gladly destroy him as well as having not touched this game for 2years. edit: I just read through 3 more pages and its a bit sickening the shameless self promotion there is... "Hi I'm Joey Saddles, i won 240$ + tv + I'm in team USA and IG and etc etc etc. my life story begins with ..." As to people commenting on you Joey, we read between the lines. It doesn't take a journalism major (which i doubt you are considering the trend in exaggeration/narcissism based off your reflection on your SC performance. Most likely you took a few lit classes @ a comm college and extrapolated yourself by a few years.) to see the massive amount effort you put behind every selective replay and word you decide to use. Difference between you and a good player is people know a good player is good. | ||

I believe he is..... Riiiiight... im not the first to point this out but right now you're suffering from a severe misunderstanding of what being a legitimate B Player entails. Idra's point is really on target. You don't notice the gap between levels at lower levels but as you climb up, you really start to feel it. It takes a huge amount of effort to go from say, C+ to B-. a legitimate B player doesnt mean being able to beat B- people regularly and hitting B in the low 7000's and then falling back to B- as soon as trying to face other B gamers too often. it means being able to stabilize at a little bit above 7000 by having a close to 50% win ratio vs combined B- and B gamers on a variety of maps and matchups. you might touch Blue but you might never be a real Blue gamer. That being said, since you are an old school gosu, you probably will make it to B. Thing is...that's gonna take a lot of time if we take for granted that you won't cut corners like avoiding maps or matchups and playing always ppl below your rank. months, many months (years?). But again..i'll be happy when you get there...its always nice to see old 'gosus' coming back, ive always been a big fan of the foreign scene. (not that the competition was lacking in your absence) | ||
