Expand Sunny's level of experience allows him to play any faction at a decent level. How you can call any player who has competed at the top for years 'TRASH' is beyond me.

Near 20 years experience gives him an edge over most of the current players. Especially on cncnet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXxPrePxX Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 Yeah, I have no problem saying Sunny is a pretty good player. The problem around him has been a cheating past and the fact that he is generally overrated by players he beats due to his personality. He seems to pander to slightly lesser skilled players. I've noticed a lot of players of lesser skill praising sunny for his skill. This is actually really cool -- sunny helps out the community by playing/training the lesser-skilled, but it does factor into him being overrated. Nonetheless, he's an excellent player and I have no problem with him in Tier 2 of allied play(perhaps near the bottom) and his style of allieds is highly different compared with matt/justin, which is the cool thing about the allied faction.

Did you not have problems last time with just a vanilla tournament? Expand There's a few reasons for this. 1) I don't think the community really is looking for standard tournaments. Why? Likely because the players at the very top are too damn good. A tournament featuring Marko in it is going to make other players think twice about joining. I look to cater towards the players looking for improvement and want them to have fun. The worst possible tournament to me is one that features players getting swept 5-0. It's not fun for anyone watching, either. Thus, in this type of tournament, a top soviet player like Marko/TJ might want to join to prove that they could play as the allied faction at the top level. It might make it fun for them to try to compete as a team they don't normally compete as, and it might make it fun for their opponents to have a chance vs them. 2) A selfish reason -- it's more entertaining to watch. I've seen a lot of sov vs sov play lately, especially in 1on1s. I'm bored. I want to see the dynamic between allied players choosing to go for tech army or for the fast/swift rockie/grizz/para army vs. the power of the soviet force. This is Ra2/YR at it's finest to me. We don't often get to see these matchups without a randomized quick match setting because most players are going to mirror the other competitor on maps that have any sort of advantage for a certain faction (ie. how many competitive players are going to choose allies on dry heat or blood feud when they know their competent opponent is soviets? They might do it for fun, but in a truly competitive game, if they doubt their allied ability they will pick soviets). All in all, this idea will probably *not* happen based on the response I got in my past tournament offerings so its a moot point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marko -- Of course he is unstoppable, but he is mostly a soviet player that isn't considered a CNCNet player as far as I know. Buffalo - Soviet player greatly. Sure, could probably play a highly impressive allied faction, but not exactly what I was looking for in nominations :p. Some interesting names are ico0 and aufruler as I had those two names in my mind when creating this topic. I haven't seen enough good 1on1's from ico0 to nominate him, but he is a hell of a great teammate. Sunny has a pretty solid allied skill level and has been around long enough to be highly competitive in 1on1, but is he really in the top 3 of allied players on cncnet? Is there anyone else that we are forgetting? Expand im a monster allied waiting in the shadows 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
