Good work Saddles on all you've done up until now, I admire that you can pick up the game again and still own some guys left and right. Don't listen to these haters and do what you gotta do! | ||

Secondly: you're all jumping on the bash Saddles bandwagon which is fucking retarded because he's probably already better than 90% of the people who've posted comments in this thread (except Chill and a few others who are definitely better than him). Thirdly: there's no reason to continue acting like morons when he only made one idiotic blog and has since gone back on it because he realized that it would take longer than that to get up to B rank. Let's face it, nobody except Chill and 1-2 other people who've posted in this thread have any idea what "facing blue ranked Koreans" feels like, so you all should stop acting like fuckheads. | ||

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. | ||

I seriously think you are not thinking correctly here...... not gonna be able to break C+? I've been playing for 4 days so far... this is after not playing for 3-4 YEARS. And I'm C right now, do you really honestly believe that I am not even gonna be able to make it to C+??? Right now I'm playing at about 40-50% of the speed I used to play..... Come on man lol..... And yes I freely admit I was wrong on my first day posting here, I didn't realize how popular FE PvZ has become, and also didn't realize how much muta micro has improved. I've admitted that, I admit it freely that i was DEAD WRONG. but do you honestly think that after 4 days of playing I hit C rank, and I will not be able to break C+ within a few more weeks of practice? LOL... come on ... that just doesnt make sense. Once I get back to 90-100% of what I used to play like I will be blue ranked... | ||

But the fact is I'm winning a lot more than I'm losing at C rank, I'm 41-20 right now and I know it's a crappy record but a lot of my losses are to very very good players.... a lot of them are 25-1 42-7 etc etc. THey are not C players. and like I said i'm playing at about 40% of how I used to play. add those 2 facts together, and do you honestly believe I won't even make it to C+??? | ||

I was gone from the game for a long time and I'm not playing nearly up to speed yet. but to everyone posting that I'm a newb and etc and that I'll never even get to C+, that is just plain wrong.... I think I've proved that just in my first few days of playing again... once I get back to 100% do you guys still really think I'm a newb and won't get to blue ranks?? http://www.iccup.com/gamingprofile/saddles.html 42-20 on my 5'th day of coming back??? Only playing at about 40-50% speed right now that I used to???? APM right now only at 180 instead of 240-250 where it used to be 4 years ago?? yah I'm sure i'm a complete newb.... ok guys............ | ||

I was definitely not following American SC way back when so I have no idea if you were famous or something I think some of the people here know me but a lot probably don't... My real name is Joey and I've been playing BW since it came out, I believe I was 10 or 11 when I first started. I live in the Miami area of southern Florida. I was playing pretty well in 03 and 04. ... my biggest online accomplishment was probably in WGTour don't remember exactly which season, season 6 or season 7 maybe. I finished 120-55 B2 16'th overall in the 1v1 ladder and qualified for the final tournament. Got beat by zealotito in round 2 and finished 12'th in the tourney. That year I also played in many gosugamers.net show matches and a few team liquid tourney and other tourney invites. for 2 or 3 more seasons I finished b2 ranked but never placed higher than 16'th overall. For offline, I went to WCG in 04 and finished 8'th overall in the USA, getting knocked out at the USA finals 3'rd round by FroZ in Long Beach, California. That was the only year I attended WCG or anything offline.. Oh I was also on Team USA A-team for a while when nation wars were still popular.... don't know what that's worth but for a while I was considered top 2-3 protoss in the US. I had a very good record in nation wars and always seemed to play my best against good competition... I remember one nation war where I clinched the win forUSA by 2-0'ing eriador.. team USA was very strong back then though I think we were one of the top 3-4 teams out of all the nations. (besides korea obviously, they weren't wasting time with newbs) a year after that when I turned 18 I quit BW and got addicted to World of Warcraft LOL =( But obviously today like people have said the competition has improved a lot since then. The strategies for PvZ have also changed a LOT. It will take me a lot of time to really learn the new builds and to learn the new MAPS especially.... but I can still feel the potential there, as soon as my HANDS get fast again and catch up to my brain I think I will still be a good player. | ||

Just from playing BW back then I've won 240$ (covers the cost of my bw discs!!!!!!!! hehehe), a 19 inch flat screen samsung LCD monitor, a free trip to California for the USA finals, (one of the best weekends of my life... got to go there with my closest Uncle who is now passed away, and we got to go for free and enjoy ourselves at Long Beach... very very fun weekend.. I still remember each day clearly) and a few other small items like keyboard mouse t-shirts etc. This was all from playing offline for 1 year... so flame away people, flame away !!!!! edit: heres one of the links before you can flame me even more and call me a liar or whatever http://www.v2.cyberfight.ru/site/news/26408/?highlight=froz heres an OLD ASS link showing when I first joined team USA (03') note that i was in iG back then lol, just starting to play some decent games. I didn't really get good until I joined rS and then Fk. in 04' http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=9833 if anyone can translate the first one would be cool, I'll look for some diff links | ||

APM right now only at 180 instead of 240-250 where it used to be 4 years ago??" Sorry for my sloppy grammar I'll try to clean it up a little from now on. I know it's a pain in the ass to read sloppily written posts. I suppose I'm just being lazy at 4:00 am, but that is no excuse anyway I was even a journalism major in college =( I feel ashamed for those sentences =O | ||
