Jesus Christ, the sheer volume of salt and juice in this thread is ludicrous.
You know what's interesting though? I've never seen the genuinely top players make excuses like some posters here. Sonicfox, 16bit, Theo, Jupiter, King, Reo, I've never seen them say "I commend you for winning with a character that takes less effort to win with". Reo just quit IGAU cos he didn't like it, he didn't throw a tantrum on TYM about how it's just a party game cos he got bodied. Shit, I remember a 16bit v PL match, Catwoman vs Bats/DD, and Bit dominated for the first game, close second to PL and then Bit dominated for the third but made a few dumb mistakes and lost, because that's what happens at that level. He shook Carl's hand, went off to be salty elsewhere without begrudging the man his win and got back on commentary admitting that he fucked up.
Shit, Pig lost 6-0 in the Grand Finals of Evo to fucking Batgirl who at the very least has a vortex that is definitely unbalanced. And I didn't see one grain of salt from him, after he worked like a dog for about a year grinding, teching and performing one of the best levelling ups I can remember in a game. I guess that's what separates the really great players and the guys who are in the top 1% of players but can't compete with the genuinely top players. Some of them take their losses, learn from them and move on, others whine about how IGAU is just a 'party game' and how they outplayed the other guy but lost.
What's interesting is that it's the same players who'll talk shit about how noobs and people who aren't as good at the game as them, like me, need to nut up and take their losses to their broken MMH. Then as soon as they get bodied by a Bane they start throwing a little hissy fit.
And from an Irish perspective, I've followed the scene since MK9 and the Canadian players I'd be most familiar with would be Honeybee, Death, xSmokex and Biohazard. I mean absolutely no offence because Dink is a damned good player, but in no way did he put Canada on the map for NRS games. Not in my experience anyway. I think someone might need a reality check.
