Ask @l3ff3n:

I get if you want to leave the community due to the nature of your position, it can't be too nice. But honestly as a spectator, having someone that isn't nice for the sake of being nice and says exactly what they're thinking, especially when they back it up, is super entertaining and I'll miss it

Thanks. It's just very rough to actually be the guy who says exactly what you're thinking, because it makes you extremely vulnerable and you lose A LOT off personal gain on it. A lot of people think I'm childish, mean, toxic, even people close to you as well as sponsors.
I don't know if I can bother being that guy anymore, because while I often overextend, my efforts/sacrifices are largely dismissed as "just creating drama".

But are you EVER going to catch up in experience and playtime? Like you said they play Smash for a living.

Eh, just look at my improvment already. I'm not even trying to be biased, but look at my past records, lack of experience/playtime wasn't enough to keep me from jumping to top 5 in 2014.
I don't even think I NEED to catch up in playtime or experience, I'll be the best soon anyway, it'd just be the cherry on top :>

I agree that maybe you could be top 3, but it's silly to say Mango and M2k wouldn't take a game off of you, they're very naturally talented while others worked really hard to compensate for that, if they played the same amount as you it wouldn't be as much of a slaughter as you would think :P

Well, let's see.
Armada/M2K/Mango all started playing competitively in 05, 5 years before I even started. Then add the fact that they've attended far more tournaments and put in more hours even after I started, and they all play Smash for a living aswell.
Then add the fact that I was banned for an entire year, and then close it out with how low level my practice partners are/have been.
In my honest opinion, taking all that and then comparing our results, I think it's clear that it's going to be a god damn slaughter once I catch up in experience and playtime.

What do you think is what makes the five gods better than you. Experience? Talent? Practice? Mindgames? Tech Skill? A combination of everything?

A combination of a few small thing as the result of my severe lack of experience and time spent playing made 4 of them place better in 2014.
If I had played half as much as any of the gods they wouldn't take a game. You'll see in 2015.
