You are indeed very consistent on the 1v1 ladder. I'd suggest giving the MTL a go; that's where your strength is really tested. Most of the players you mentioned compete over there and it's way tougher than the 1v1 ladder. Prove yourself before getting arrogant.

@Equivoque, your run has indeed been epic and anyone questioning it is either trolling, misinformed, or hating.

The legitimate criticism is the 1v1 ladder is all you have. There are far more grueling competitions on this site than the 1v1 ladder.

Example: Master of Desaster got to a rating of 2379 making only 3 picks per game. Along the way he beat 2100+ players schmidt, Octane, myself and Kaerox. He went 2-4 in CL A on the same map, making 6 picks every game.

Edit: Can confirm what Farah says that the MTL is much more challenging than the 1v1 ladder.

Unisciti a noi magico! Non mi stancherò mai.. abbiamo bisogno di te!

another thread derails

Equivogues message motivated me to join the ladder again to play my 3 pick games just to push him from first place.

I'd welcome it very much if the great magician would honor me with a matchup so i can outpick him.

Also i'm looking forward to my congratulation thread. First i didn't want to get ranked because i failed my run but now i expect a nice glorification of myself

@Equivoque: It's not a disrespect by any means that you are not in the top 10 of our lists. You are a great player, on MME, and we don't question that.
Point is that the 1v1 ladder is a just for fun competition for almost anyone of the top players that you mentioned. You do realize that players like MoD can be at 2400 on that ladder with just making 3 picks, if he tries. It is also just one template. If you want to be one of the best, you have to play well on more templates. For that, I recommend you to join the MTL and prove us wrong.

Should be nice create a group of 5/6 judge and every year try to make a rank to the best top 10 based on ladders, mdl and clan league for example. Also we have ekston’s competition. I think each judge have to be a expert player (for example MoD, Plat, Pardon, alexclusive, Rakleader can be a great 5 judges)

As a follow up, I appreciate all of the responses. I never tried to come across as arrogant, nor claim that I am directly "better" than someone else. I am polite and a sportsman in all of my matches and never stall.

NJord....you are right. Buns, Krystof, and many other greats have held the top spot a long time. My point was that I am doing it with a LOT of matches played, not just maintaining the minimum 20 or 25, that's all. And I did defend against a lot of the other top players.
Mr. Glass, Farah, AI: You are right. I don't have time for the MTL ladder. In fact, I have almost been ready to stop the 1 vs 1 ladder for a while, as I have other priorities in life and time spent on this game has to be limited. I just wanted to make a long, consistent run and show what I can do.
MOD: I know that you are one of the epic greats of all time.

That is why I can only talk about accomplishments on the MME.

A player who's supposedly the best at some point on a ladder wouldn't shrink back from a challenge and even lower the gamecount just to avoid a matchup

I mean, I don't think there's anyone doubting your skills on the 1v1 ladder. You showed you're in the absolute top for that template. If you don't have time for the MTL, maybe try clan league or AWP. You can limit your amount of games there

You defended against players who take the 1v1 ladder very seriously.

Sorry for derailing this thread. I didn't know a simple question would result in something like this

Edited 6/29/2020 02:06:57

Buns is still the player with the best run on the 1v1 ladder ever. I remember when I first joined, you couldn't just get the trophy, you had to go through buns, period.

Hell you're not even the greatest template specialist either. HotBeachBum who was really only good at MME, dominated far longer than you.

No offense to you Equiv, you're a really good player, but you don't even crack the top 10 active players imo, let alone all time.

Join the MTL if you really want to play with the best.

Back to topic. My top 10 current would be.

Rufus
AI
Pardon
Buns
MoD
Timinator
89thlap
rakleader
Hades
Summer

Honorable mentions : Octane, Hergul, malakkan, Xenophon, NoMercy (would put him on the list but not sure how active he is), Guest.

All-time :

Deadman
Buns
Szewinigen
Rufus
Timinator
MoD
Summer
Piexto

haha !! just to have surrender in nation cup while he will win , guest doesn t deserve to be on the list (joke)

ah yes sry my bad ! it was chris ! thx cowboy

Guest has been really good this year.

Accomplishments include:

Peaking at #2, 2035 rating on the MTL
9-3 in CL A 1v1s being the MVP for WG in a tight relegation battle
16th on the ME seasonal, 13th on the Georgia Seasonal, and currently 14th on the Landria seasonal
10-2 in Nations Cup playing for Germany B who won the whole thing. In that he went 6-0 against France, USA, UK & Ireland the three strongest teams Germany B played.

I think Guest has a very strong case to be rated as a top 15 current player on warzone. Top 10 is shakier just because there are a lot of amazing players on warzone.

@zev that was Chris, not guest. :p
