i may not be the top 1 player, but am top 3-4 and have been forever, ive also been around a lot longer than the others here. im not just talking shit, i know what im talking about. im probably the only one left that was a top player as long as i have been who plays daily. or close to daily. i say what i say to increase competition.
i dont need to namehide to play a ladder (cite humble) but also as humble said you should be playing me and the other top players if you want a good game or to improve.
i cant get a game as a top player. i dont need to namehide to win, but i do need to namehide to get games as so many dodge.
even sexpro the top ladder player who isnt a top player will play people on his map, but will dodge people on other maps. with the name thing gone and namehiding in place makes it more fair.
namehiding has always been a part of ts, and so has dodging. people dodge top players, and also dodge namehiders, but namehiding also is easier to get games as they will take the chance they are noob.
ive set tournie games for hours past few days, and cant get a game at all...boring as fuck.
i could care less about being TOP 1 on ladder, i could care less about a reward, i do care about improving and being considered better than my rivals not going to lie. so i like playing the best. id play kapa and lose 100x rather than noob bash or play 1 map that i can win on like sexpro....
as humble said either play to improve, play the best, or gtfo. noob bashing or dodging is stupid.
often times the top 3 players are not # 1 on the ladder, its always a noob basher or dodger...sad. last mth was a noob basher, dodger, and free winner (sexpro)
