A while back Qes posted something cringe worthy like this, but I couldn't find it. The difference was that he demanded respect for the older sparers.

Qes do you remember where you posted that? I hate not finding old posts.  

Blaze talking for himself.

I think the reason Alumni was able to reign for so long is because they're just older. The rest of us are just teens, Thallen is in his twenties, or so I've heard, as well as Winter, Dante, etc. Teens have a hard time staying consistent but people become more consistent and focused when they're older, and Alumni members seem older than many of us. Unless there are a certain few of you in here who are also in your twenties besides Thallen.

Kicko and Kouji both placed and won gsts(correct me if I'm wrong)before they even aged 15.  

I'm the worst sparrer in the battle arena, but generally still can hold my own against high-tiers.

:^) I guess I can't adjust myself to spar people with low IQ techs  

Would-be Forum ****post of the Year if only it was actually just a troll...

Throughout years of obvserving the spar community, I have noticed that the amount of respect that the winner deserves has gone down drastically. I have come to the overall conclusion that the current spar community is full of people who do not know their place. There are countless examples of people who do not comprehend where they stand but recently it has just been pathetic. I am speaking as an individual who witnessed and experienced the reign of (Alumni), which was a three year period of complete dominance over the sparring community. If any person who reads this does not recognize (Alumni) as the best sparring guild ever , then that in itself completely reinforces my argument. The aftermath of (Alumni) includes (7ives) which has completely destroyed every idevice team and backed up their winning habits by winning the mixed GST tournament previous to this one. No, I am not saying to love us, y'all can hate us for all I care, but most of you need to learn what respect truly is & recognize where you stand. I am already ready to hear things like OH YOU WERE A SUB YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING but in all honesty, I don't really care and that is not what this paragraph is written for. This paragraph is to let y'all know that things such as messaging Thallen about being in the wrong "spar tier", making status's about beating (Alumni). These are the things that reinforce our position as being the best because it clarifies how much you value our opinion.

Be humble

Addition to this, can we also get an upgrade in the war room inside the battle arena and place 6 ft gold statues of alll of alumni’s roster there for being the best guild? I think this is reasonable seeing as we are quiet Blatantly the best ever. Thx  

Inb4 zeteletetovic posts here and demands respect for the 2 people in the SLX recording crew which was basically a casting couch crew to watch their team get f**ked every season  

Wouldn't be a 2017 thread related to spar if it weren't for westbrook.

They've remained consistency as time passed, you haven't.

Theoretically, I could say i've never "tried"

Besides no one asked for consistency  

I believe we should have an in-game hat modeled after my feet in recognition of me flawing Jimbo with them.  

To be honest I feel like most people just wanted a change of people winning the gst for once. On the Mixed side and Idev side alumni has ruled for years. It really does prove their place as a team overall. I used to think alumni idev/7ives idev was utter garbage before realizing that their the only group of delayers that really use their delay to full advantage and it shows. There has been countless all delay teams with great gsers but what other all delay team has won gst even? None if I am mistaken. It used to be very hard for me to admit that Alumni Idev/7ives have true skill, they have an advantage with their delay but win every gst like its a joke tbh... Alumni statistical wise is the best team ever.

I know from a standpoint in the spar community that Alumni is definitely respected, it might not show as much as it did before. But I hear how people talk about Alumni as a whole. A lot of people are scared to face alumni in brackets in Gst, I myself have even said so. Trust me there is respect, it's just not really in a mutual way as much if that makes sense. People seeing Alumni/7ives as a threat=respect in a different way. It's just hard for most people in the spar community to admit who the more skilled are because sparers are so competitive and that's how it always will be because spar is an competitive activity. Alumni will always be respected, even if Alumni dies, they have ruled this game and will be respected as Uncommon Society is.
