He always told me about how he'd never have any competition, and so I played him one day and he was terrible. He realized that he hadn't seen how good you could actually be. Edit - Not to say I'm really good or anything, just far better than he was. Haha same situation here - I played a guy who was supposedly "pro-caliber" and we bet over 100 USD on a BO3. He turned out to be a 50 APM noob. The games were (how should I say) uhh, illuminating. | ||

Yet, all I can think about is how many mistakes I am doing, how terrible my leading is, and I am always worried, that the girls are bored with what I do. I asked my teacher if I can ever by satisfied with my dancing, and she replied: No, nobody will ever be. | ||

You can beat your friends. So what? Most people who claim to be "the best" beat their friends. | ||

I think arrogance is different than this, actually, although it probably appears the same.. people who are really good players can also be really arrogant, and people can humbly say they think they're pretty good at something when they're horribly bad at it. I guess it's just better not to be arrogant regardless of skill, although this + arrogance is pretty killer.. | ||
