Hit 20k wins mid December of last year so I may as well have a say in this thread full of broken English and weird information posted by the likes of jimbo and penguin.

Sparring has been like this for a good year and a half this isn't a phase this is what sparring is at this current time.

The more active American and Canadian based sparrers are either inactive, not playing as of now or just done with sparring.

As of now foreign sparrers (europeans, australians, south americans, pinoys) are the main group of people sparring, this isn't a bad thing at all and its stupid to say things like they should be "banned" or "not allowed to spar" (I've seen this said multiple times over the last year and a half) they are keeping sparring relevant and that's a good thing, I don't see any reason for somebody to abuse or slander somebody because they are from overseas and enjoy sparring whether its casually or because they enjoy doing it and it's what they do as main activity.

However sparring does currently have an issue where a lot of people have started speeding, health hacking and vpning in order to gain an advantage over others. Not only this but it's sad to see that noob hunting and selective sparring is as common as ever.

I've noticed a trend in Brazillian players speeding, I'm not saying it's only them that speed but it is a large group of them that do.

Players like Jimbo, Rexxx, Droon, Paz who vpn constantly without punishment as well ruins the experience for a lot of new and veteran players.
