Alls I'm going to say is I should at least be tier 3 in 2012-2014 if not tier 2.
Tbh I don't think many people remember you being good in that era. Not saying you were bad but nobody heard of ya till late 14/Early 15 when you started to prove yourself.
None of that is true.
Firstly and most importantly, I wasn't active in late 14, I took 2014 off cause I was mad about the melee patch making melee easier.
Secondly I was known as pretty good back then. Especially by people I played w/ regularly like Rogelio, Hunter, and Mathias who I was about as good as, and got asked semi-regularly to join 12th and 9y (eventually accepted AP0C & Samurai's invite to join 9y for a bit - didn't join 12th cause I didn't want to "apply" to join a regiment).
So idk who you asked but if those same people told you adding Vortex (who wasn't even close to good back then) and JayPea (who was good, but not great) were a good idea, then you may want to double check your sources.

You can literally ask anyone with a name from 2012 and they will tell you I was a linekiller. Don't speak on things when you have no idea what you are talking about. There's a reason I was put on all time lists before I even came back to the game in 2016. Also AP0C was one of my closest friends in the community and will vouch that I would have put you in the dirt back in the day
I was a "line killer" too back in Late 2012-2014. Doesn't mean anything considering the average player struggled with blocking. The only challenge of taking out a pub line was not getting shot.
AP0C can say you'd smoke me all he wants...there's nothing to back that up. Rogelio and the others I mentioned (plus some I didn't) didn't put me in the dirt, and they were far better than you were. So, couldn't do it 2016 or 17 and I doubt you would've done it back then.
Saying Rogelio was "far better than me" is pretty ludicrous, I've been a carry player in every regiment I've ever been in (some with him as well). I was one of the better groupfighters in the FKI, as well as the 9y. The fact that I don't even REMEMBER you from 2012 shows how much you impressed me back in the day. And don't act like you were a million times better than me in the 3e either. I was 10x the groupfighter you were and didn't care to practice dueling. Please keep my name out of your mouth.
This has to be a meme.
You don't remember me in 2012, I don't remember you in 2013 so I guess that's fair enough.
You most definitely were not 10x the groupfighter I was in 3e. and saying you didn't practice dueling both isn't true and a cop out. You were a regular on duel servers, you did ft7's and tournaments etc. I was just better at it than you were.
My skill level in 2013-early 2014 was basically the same as mid 2015-2016, the only difference is I was ignorant to tournaments being a thing back then and I couldn't abuse double x feinting in 2015-2016. So if you want to say you were a better groupfighter than me back in the day...sure..although groupfighting as we know it now, wasn't really a thing back then so it doesn't mean anything, and pub line killing just isn't impressive. But you putting me in the dirt 1 on 1? I'm absolutely confident you wouldn't have done jack shit but get stomped.
You must have been living in dream land during the last iteration of 3e because holy moly. There were plenty of groupfights that we would have lost if it weren't for PJ and I hard carrying the fuck out of everyone. I've gone on record before saying that I absolutely hated dueling because everyone plays so boring, I usually only went on duel servers to try to poach players for NA_GF and to recruit new members. You don't remember me in 2013 because I quit the game mid 2013, trust me if I was still playing I would have still been an elite player like I always was. It's really unlucky to see your ego has grown so massive since I left that you have become delusional. A real shame.
Sure, there were some groupfights you and Pj hard carried. That doesn't make you 10x a better groupfighter though lol. Casual/weekly groupfights against the LG and 63e have never meant anything to me. That's just sparring. It's brownie points. RGL I was consistently top 3-5, and in the finals I was 4th while PJ was 5th you were 6th (we had basically the same KD's though). That's where it mattered. Whenever it really mattered, we performed basically the same. So if you want to say you were a better groupfighter in 3e....meh, if it makes you feel better. But 10x better? Not even in your wildest dreams.
Hating dueling, isn't the same as not practicing it, which is what you said. That you didn't practice it.
And you not being around mid-2013 further proves my point. Mid 2013-Late 2013 is when people started getting really good and is essentially the time period I'm talking about, and you were nowhere. Your accomplishments back then was pub line killing in 2012 when players were at their worst until mid 2013 when players were starting to actually become what could be considered good. Those aren't "elite" accomplishments. I also remember how good it felt to kill a line by myself, but looking back at it, it doesn't mean anything, players were bad mechanically, and there was no coordination within lines. It was so easy to do that, that the only significant risk was if some noob decided they were going to FOL you. As I've already stated.
You talk about my ego and call me delusional, but you come back saying you would've put me in the dirt, and calling yourself an elite player based on that nonsense? Fucking seriously? All you've done is prove my point, that if you can be on the 2012-2014 list with accomplishments like that, so should I. At least I also have a metric tonne of screenshots from back then of me carrying 1v1's, and top fragging in groupfight/duel servers (which I don't consider those as significant accomplishments either) to go along with my pub line killing.
At least I realize that my "accomplishments" from back then don't mean anything and reasonably shouldn't grant me a spot on that list, and if it weren't for names like yours on there who accomplished every bit of nothing as I did, I wouldn't have ever brought it up. But your ego is so hurt by me accurately pointing out that, like myself, you did jack shit from 2012-2014 that you felt the need to come back and talk about how well you did against some pub lines, only to prove my point. Again....which of us has the ego/delusion problem?
Fucking sad.
The double x died way before 15-16, that was the Maple era
Yes it was patched out in 2013.
My point was that when I returned in 2015, once I got the rust off, my skill level was basically as it was when I left game, except I could no longer abuse things double x feinting.
