This just makes me really sad that I am struggling to make it into the top 100, and MoD gets no. 1 practically without trying. 😉

@LND: Then you might want to look at MoDs picks and how he played them out? Imo there only being 3 here makes them way easier to understand than when there were 6.

And i'm stuck trying to get in the top 250...

The game is so simple to learn, it feels like everybody should master it in a week imo. I learned the basics on the first day and it goes like this:

In first week you can learn 85% mastery, in 6 months 95% and 100% can take years

So you are around 98% I suppose?

Maybe. I'm basically saying how I feel about this game. That basics are simple, like in game "go" for example. And that you can become a decent player pretty fast. I'm talking about casual play.

Then there's the "professional play" with counting armies, analyzing board, overthinking and other boring shit. To play at a more than decent level requires much more effort, for just a little improvement. Because that requires thinking about every little detail for just a little edge over your opponent. Which is effective but a little nerdy.

ok good point.

It was fun but all good things come to an end. If the 'magician' decides to stop hiding and play a game with me i might rejoin the ladder. Otherwise see you at soonest for the next challenge on that template.

@MoD
If you are open to it, I will organize a best of 12 format battle on Strat ME between Equivoque and you under the auspices of AWP. The battle would be like a boxing or ufc event (btw, this will be the next AWP project, if I have time (soon!))

I'm always up for strat me, but did you mean strat mme? Also why would equivogue have the time if he claims not to play me on the ladder for time reasons?

Yes, I meant strat MME, sorry.
I don't know if Equivoque has time, I just wrote that if you are open to this, I will contact him, and try to organize this cool battle between you. So are you ready? :)

Sure

You were right, he has no time.
Pity, it would have been fun :)

Congratz MoD! Brilliant performance. If Equivoque don’t have time you can play one game against me? to try a bit my skills?

If you join the ladder we can definitely play. Just hit me up again when you joined and i can raise my gamecount

nice i’ll join the ladder now

I am the latest victim of mod...

It was about time my run ends after a boot, few losses and dwindling motivation i still found enough motivation to force a matchup with the magician.

Even though it hardly counts as a win since he was busy, playing on phone and misclicked altogether, it was a fun journey neverthless.

I'm out of the ladder for good now

These are lots of very good reasons. For me, Equi is the winner of the game because despite all of those terrible circumstances he managed to put up quite a fight!
