He studies the games until he trivializes them, like he did with xcom long war. He is an aggro player but knows when to simcity too, and always keeps tabs on whats going on with the other players. Then again im biased because FR is too whiny for me so I stopped watching him. Always complains and never accepts his mistakes. All around solid player tho. My second fav is Baba. Such a nice guy and still with a casual attitude towards about a game he has more than 4-5k hours in. His style is way different too, he is more passive/simcity/wonderwhoring. Probably wins even more often than Arv. Yoorus probably fights with FR for the third best player spot in my head. Super aggro player for sure. I think he is russian or very close so poker players can probably relate heh. Yoorus is from Poland  , the master race in Civ 5 | ||

Anzleon won his first duel with me, was caught breaking the rules in his second duel when he deleted a unit when he was -14 gold with 0 gold in reserve (https://www.twitch.tv/anzleon/v/97033165 Look at 1:34.22) and he just lost his 3rd duel just now. In the last duel Anzleon agreed to play a larger map so that there could be more building and he had the ability to review all settings before the match started. It is fine and fun to support your favorite streamer, but try to keep the trolling to a minimum. We are here to have a good time and to try and expand competitive civilization. We are only in our 5th day of Civilization VI and there will be plenty of great games to come. Anzleon has 7,000 hours of Civ V and is an amazing player. I look forward to more matches with Anzleon, NQ players, and other passionate players so stay tuned because we are only getting started. Why are you guys not playing on NQ fruity mod? It prevents any rules issues. | ||

If they were an official ladder games, Anzleon would have had one win and two technical defeats. Unfortunately, they weren't ladder games, so it's two wins and one cancelled game And seriously, who are you and where you put a real MrGameTheory? Do you use polyjuice potion, and keep the real one in a closet, or something? You were like the biggest proponent of trolling with your cocky attitude in entire Civ 4 community (it was almost real, someone actually believed it's your real personality). And now you're all about "try to keep the trolling to a minimum" and boring stuff like that. Where is all that old fun stuff? You're getting old, man I really enjoyed reading your posts | ||

The achievements he claims he has are all from websites no one has used in forever. The NQ group doesn't even have rankings because they found that rankings in civ just did not work because people would unfairly team up on people and it just made for an unfair gameplay experience. Maybe he was good a long time ago, but they guy only has like 600 hours of civilization 5 gameplay when others have upwards of 4000 +. How can you say he is a legend when he hardly plays the game? He was a monster in Civ 4. And there was a ladder and a regular tournament back then, see my post #173. So Civ 5 stuff is not even competitive, it doesn't count. Achievements did happen as far as i know. Actually, noone else even considered such a ridiculous things as playing 1v5 vs ladder players (even if it was a bit easier than it sounds given team mechanics of Civ 4, it is really ridiculous thing to try, let alone actually win it). And MrGameTheory was winning against other top duelists. I didn't like duels, so i don't think we played, or at least i don't remember it (i played less than 10 duels in Civ 4 anyway...), but i know he got some wins against all top ones. Not sure about exact win/losses though. And yep, some tournament perfomance happened as well, you can check some history here, for example. Another link in post #173 http://www.civplayers.com/index.php?section=smf&board=83.0 Civ 5 was a joke anyway, so playing 600 hours... Wow, that's an achievement by itself, i played only 171 hours. And zero hours MP. Anyone who watched MGT theory play against Arvius would know that not only is he not one of the best players, he makes rather noobish mistakes. The guy tried to rush someone with warriors. Cockiness and lack of preparation. Totally what i would have expected from MrGameTheory. He thought he'll autowin by default And that's a lack of knowledge. Given that game is released several days ago, it's kinda not really surprising, no? Today he set a duel match to a 6 player landmass thinking Arvius woudn't notice and it worked. Who the hell plays a duel on a 6 player landmass? It's unplayable and he only did it to try to get an advantage being able to settle more land without arvius noticing the map is larger. Well, it is totally different. If it was a serious match, i would have called it quits (for preparation time) in a starting screen because it does require different strategy, and that requires time... But i checked a stream, Arvius's mouse cursor was over "small" map size like 3 times when he obviously was checking settings. I guess this time Arvius got cocky and didn't think he will need to plan the strategy so to defeat MrGameTheory. And btw MrGameTheory is known for some crazy fast ICS, so that's exactly what he did this time. Again, no surprises here.

I already gave you links. http://www.civplayers.com/index.php?section=smf&board=83.0 http://civ4players.proboards.com/board/8/civ4-world-championship-cup Just search for "Theory" in these threads: http://www.civplayers.com/index.php?section=smf&topic=7153.0 http://www.civplayers.com/index.php?section=smf&topic=7154.0 http://www.civplayers.com/index.php?section=smf&topic=7155.0 Duels are duels. Cton is FFA with banned diplomacy. Ironman is like Cton but without a time limit IIRC. And MrGameTheory mostly competed in these events, usually reserved for a strongest duelists (other matches were team games IIRC). And he was a leader of his clan too in this clan tournament. | ||

It came out almost two weeks ago and there are no signs they will even attempt to make the game decent for multiplayer. Of all the reasons Civ isn't going to work as an esport, bugs and things like that are at the bottom of the list I think. | ||

Of course, a tournament stream might be different, but just the gameplay alone doesn't scream excitement or anticipation. The only time it gets exciting is in the very late game, when players have 5-6 cities to manage with lots of decisions to make and time runs out. But that is like several hours of gameplay. | ||
