even if i had iamgrunt as a clanmate i still wouldnt play anything but a NR45 game. it is not fun to play a 10 minute game.

ohh, cmon, i honestly don't know him, but he can't be that good. he probably found out a way to play that's best suited to him. heck anyone can beat him if they play good, and think. me personally, i don't take this game seriously at all. I play it for fun, most of the time i love being on the run, cause its so fun, the excitment will u make it or will he catch u. and there is no better sattisfaction then beating a guy after havin ur city destroyed. revenge is sweet.

not that good, then see his stats

there are tens of thousands of people that are playing this game and he is #5 atm. not that good, pfft.

ok, go play him and do your best, tell me how that turns out :p

noobs always thing that if they played 24/7 they would be the best. this is because at their level if they spent more time playing they would see a rapid increase in their skill level. however they fail to understand that at higher levels, investing more time wont help much.

do you really think that if iamgrunt played only 2 games a month he would be that?
There is of course talent, but a good player have to play a lot.

he would still be better than u or me...the power rating decay i believe above lvl 35 (i think that is the faster decay level)is where you have to play 1 rated game a week, so he would be losing pr by only playing 2 times a month, doubt it would ever happen...

You can't say that he got the top by laming with OP civs, he's played a lot with ports, French and Ottos has won with them just as much.

sure of course you have to play alot to be good. but once you are good, if your body does not allow you, playing 24/7 would not make you a better player. and if you are talented like grunt, playing 2 games a week would still make him a better player than the average player who plays 2 games a day.

That's right, i play like twice a week an i would own mostly all of u (except Extacy, that would be an interesting game but i would loose...or not :P )

Posted by: drumguy @ whoever said they prefer a life i agree. This may sound offensive, but the way i think of it is that he is a fat 30 yearold who lives with his mom.

Umm no he is a professional rts gamer in Korea, age of empires is his least best game, he is champ at rise of legends, and another game. He is paid to do this by tournaments and corporate sponsors.

Yeah iamgrunt in the top 5, yet Extacy is in the top "250" and he calls himself an expert, pfft.

quote me where i have called myself an expert please. i have NEVER thought of myself as an expert. experts are probably top 50 or top 40. [Edited on 1/23/2007]
