what. both alumni idev and mixed faced a lot of good teams in the past though.

how to make it competitive again:
dante should call talbourn and bring back memory
aguzo should call VS PC Graal members
qes should call wh for BTKKKK
Gteam should make a comeback  

Summer 2014
SLX (Aserus, Skull, Demrow, Quiondre, Male) loses to SNC 2nd round (https://youtu.be/z3t5l-XJC1Y?t=466)
Memory (Ph8, Smoke, Ruke, Felix, Rua) loses to Alumni 3rd Round (https://youtu.be/wnwd1VpJZQk?t=143)
SNC (Exalt, Kosma, Advo, Ethereal, SK) loses to Alumni Semi-finals (https://youtu.be/wnwd1VpJZQk?t=534)
Apostles (Zid, John, Prime, Abel, Jack) loses to Alumni Finals (https://youtu.be/tc_CBx9w9R8?t=494)

those were all stacked teams, imo

on idev side I only know the finals for it, and both teams looked stacked
Memory (Tae?, Kouji, Ryan, Yurhomi, iJesus) loses to Alumni (Vlad, Haze, Sarah, Junior, Abood?) (https://youtu.be/tc_CBx9w9R8)

Spring and Autumn were good too, but Summer had the toughest lineup  

imo every team listed nerfed itself with at least one mediocre player besides maybe apostles, but i’m not even here to debate guildsparring teams. the original topic was basically “rashard was only good because everybody else sucked” which is wrong. i’m sure he would be a top tier player right now (in 1v1) if active. not jerking him off anymore past this post, the man can defend himself if he cares enough.

Sorry man but i barely delay back in my country (France) and that's where i got most of my wins, you have video proofs on Youtube.
Only time I delay badly is when I'm traveling and I'm not even as good when i do.
Plus when one spars a delayer, that delayer has to predict exactly the same position in which their opponent will be after x ms, so you both are basically sparring in the same condition, you both have to predict where you wll be after x ms or you could also imagine that the non delayer is the delayer and the delayer is an american with no delay, it is the same exact thing. But you guys will never understand this and will keep complaining about delayers instead of understand whats the problem and why everyone hates sparring delayers when they could be easy af to win sigh

You played in an area where everyone was new to graal and you had several years of experience, which explains your ratio back then but people have learnt how to spar thoughout time and everyone got way better than they were during the reign of (US). It was basically as if you were sparring noobs, I mean one of your finals were against (Seductive) if I'm not mistaken lol but could (US) win rn? i doubt it

I sparred pretty much from 2013/2014-2017 actively, most active time of sparring on classic imo I will be relevant more than you will ever be.

I have not seen you spar back then since I was not playing and started graal as a PKer, maybe you were better than what you are rn but rn you spar pretty much like any other sparrer nothing out of the box.

please lecture me more on **** that won't change anything how i view you. you spar the same as anyone else who delays like a mfkr. you aren't special. you'd be easy to defeat in a series aswell, just would take a lot longer & time consuming. you're forcing your opponents to play a ****ty boring style with your massive delay. boring. dunno how someone could spar 100k+ times and enjoy it.

also i remember crushing you & you running out of the arena multiple times during your most active time on sparring.

if you're just gonna cry and say i hacked when you lose then it's not even worth my time, i already went through this with zeross

it'll prove nothing regarding tournament play. just series me right now, i'm sure you're on lurking somewhere. don't care about doing this infront of people. get someone to record it. won't take long

i mean no offense to those i’m mentioning but let’s not act like alumni is facing any competitive guilds either.

waaait what

just a couple teams that i remember off the top of my head:

• dark, brett, zideruic, aguzo, sean
• exalt, prime, zeross, abel, tykian
• brett, ares, aguzo, ihercules, crono
• brett, ares, sean, clops, contego
• ares, deophite, quick strike, cyclone, and i forget who SDE's last member was
• that memory mixed team
• every iteration of apostles/WAR/whitebeard (almost always included prime, exalt, zideruic, john, etc.)
• every iteration of SNC (almost always included ethereal, exalt, razor, etc.)
• every iteration of SLX (almost always included demrow, aserus, quiondre, etc.)
• every iteration of GTEAM

not all of these were finals either - in one GST we faced all of entity, GTEAM, holy, and rectify then in another we faced SDE with the team above, WAR, and GTEAM
i could probably name a lot more but james025 deleted the alumni wins archive youtube channel

so now i'd be interested in knowing the teams that US mixed was up against every GST
and it's not even hating on or discrediting US because i was in US and i like several of the members (especially leader), but it's just no question that alumni faced much stiffer competition  

Fulgore convince your mix team to do the idevice gst next tournament that will shut up all this silly talk. Man hands? No worries it's only a 5 button game :0 you guys got this

genius sparring critics westbrook, mount, and GOAT can sell tickets outside of BA hopefully

Reminder to all of you that this thread is about the Summer 2018 GST results. If you'd like to start personal arguments, do it privately. Thread will remain open for now but if the problem persists I may have to close it.

Can you really say that any of those teams truly practiced hard or were anywhere near your teamwork level? i'd say nah and besides, let's say that you use some weird hack, that's already a huge advantage over the opponents.  

Doublelift lol who let you on the computer without parental supervision  

what lol? literally every single team practiced especially sith  

Queen Sarah said now everyone is even with the “faster” devices (where’s all my 35fps noobs from the classic top 10/iPhone vs pc threads)

Would be interesting to see #1 and 2 of the mix side doing the idevice side next gst and 1 and 2 on the device side doing mix.

I know the result thread would explode and certain players would go from top tier to above avg FULGY WHERE YOU AT?

jk fulgy <3

goat why are u still commenting? u graal city roleplaying la loser lol

You do realize that role playing is the most competitive part of classic right now? You know how hard is it to get into the top role playing guilds? You’re not insulting me with this, you’re giving me a compliment



Next gst Sarah and fulgys teams are switching gsts. They will finally prove that they’re all skill and not device/connection. They just told me that in-game. Respect. Finally a mix team with the courage to enter the almighty idevice gst

you see what I did there? Here come the excuses
