TWL-B Week 2: Hot or Not

[Pressure]

Wow, this blew up. Poseidon, you're a mad lad.

Updated with Rapid vs. Spastic.

[Lupin]

Kado is a good guy and one of the first players who welcomed me to TW. Good luck in TWL every1

[Poseidon]

Ok, ending participation with this thread and waving goodbye 2 every1. I would like to end with a response to dreamwin, as clarification seems appropriate.

First, I understand ur being vitriolic towards me as a way to support your teammates who are lashing out at me. I get it. But the implication that I acted sleazily or threw my team Fire under the bus or betrayed them is entirely off base, as Unlimited alluded to in the first few sentences of his post - he notably being on Fire chat. Many people on the team were out to get me, mainly because they were backing up their boy Kado who a few months ago began chirping vs me after i beat him under a few Bd's. Had never talked to the guy. Wasnt interested. However I let him know whats up in a friendly rebuff. From the moment on his inferiority complex grew into a monstrosity, the details of which I will not go into publically atm.

Thus some of the members such as Heaven, Beam, Best, etc. were obviously trying to drive me from the squad. It was very hostile environment for me. Not much in the way of "betrayal" happening at all here.

Cheers every1 and good luck in TWL

I’m with Poseidon on this one. When I used to play I would suicide at least 50 to 60 times a game to help my squad win. Have you guys even watched the video? I haven’t, but I guarantee he’s doing the right thing in it. How else are you supposed to get more repels?

LOL whatddua know. i play vs u and shriek in the link i posted b4 ha!

[Poseidon]

lol dream turns on me. its ok. i knew what had happened when i came back to u a few days later and u said "oh we alrdy found someone else". I mean I cant really blame you. you asked me for a reason. your teammates are oblivious. but you cant argue with em about it. however, it gives me little sympathy for the situation when u had to captain against ur better instincts. its YOUR team. but whatev. i dunno whats going on what going thru ur head, just givink u my perspective.

call me toxic if you want when in reality im simply defending myself against full assault from a whole hoarde of goombas who finda my talent threatening. GJ judging from TWBD in which im generally doing nothing but exploring situations at all time and figuring out what goes right and what goes wrong. Absolutely different from my competitive play. Luckily it was prob the next weekend I was subbing in for 9* and bringing the game 3 finals of basing cup back from 2-11 to 14-15. im sure u logged and missed it after we beat u in the first series... but had u, id imagine ud have felt quite silly if u really believed " ididnt have what it takes"... when in reality this noopi proovd herself as clutch master yet again, as i mentioned in a previous thread

[Unlimited]

Nice post pressure! good read. As a newer player here I respect these types of posts.. not because of the bashing of poseidon and the obvious bandwagoning to it but the examples and review of what to do in certain situations etc. Mad respect to Turban for posting an outside the box view of the situation while respecting poseidon being mature unlike many people here.

As a player who was constantly ridiculed and bashed first starting here.. my opinion is that you look at this as a learning experience. You do come across as a know it all, and seem to justify everything no matter if you are wrong. Don’t do that bud. Not everyone is out to get you, some of these people legit want you to learn from it. Zidane would be a horrible leader if he didn’t tell you after the match how you did.. instead of listening you just left the squad. Imo that is worse than whether you played good or not.

Have been hated on since starting here, but instead of taking it to heart I took it and am taking it as fuel to get better and improve. Attitude is everything bro. If you just leave when things get tough, then you will never be able to improve and will just always be in the same spot repeating the same pattern again and again.

Btw where are the videos of the matches? would like to see it. Thanks

[Dreamwin]

Before this gets any more out of hand, I want to clarify that I did invite poseidon to join Plade and start at that point in time. The last couple of weeks have been intense recruiting wars between squads so all of us might not remember things clearly. I did it because 1)I thought you had potential to grow and improve 2)everyone was in panic mode to recruit capable spiders. Thanks to this thread, I got a confirmation that my initial impression was wrong and I admit it and apologize Plade bros. It was only the day after that I got a chance to talk with the rest of our lb starters and they denied you quite unanomously. At the same day seeing you play couple of bds, I myself knew you didnt have what it takes. Later you asked to join and we denied you. We got lucky when you didnt say yes the first time since you turned out to be completely egoistic and toxic player throwing kado and rest of ur team under the bus which couldnt be further from the mentality we have in Plade. Gl hf riding the bench because thats where you belong with that attitude and current skill level.

[Hulk]

My name gettin thrown around a lot.. maybe i'm juss a god?

What reason does Poseidon have for lying about getting invited to Plade? lol. Fire overall had a pretty poor showing regardless of how Poseidon played.

Most reasonable post in here so far.

In all seriousness, this has turned into a great thread. I will say, coming from someone who has no business commenting in here, that I think looking at rec alone is completely worthless. I watch Henry Saari start off a game like 28-2 but Rapid is down 5 mins. But there is something to be said for being dead a majority of the game being detrimental. All I know is this shitty shark has the most trouble playing against people who push hard like Turban than playing against campers like Saari. Haven't watched the video and don't really care about that specific game, but the 13 year old kid in me that started basing years ago finds the discussion on strategy and nuance to be fascinating. Thanks for this thread, and hell of a write up so far Pressure.

LOL!

Regarding plade,i will just leave it at this. I dont care what DW said or not, even tho i REALLY doubt he offered u starting spot. The one time ur name got discussed, everyone said no. We looked for 1/2 spids for some time, yet u were never even considered as a plan b/c/d...z. You are simply not good enough on under or top,regardless of what position you think you should be playing.
Sorry if it hurts.

And i also love this little quote:



A dude who has close to 0 experience in top tier basing, thinks he never makes mistakes. This is a pattern in ur speech, everyone is wrong, you are right, regardless. Legit the biggest Ego to skill/impact ive seen.

i mean.. but you are so fkn'ing wrong here it hurts... u are still seriously struggling to grapple with reality

[Poseidon]

Kado chased turban to try and stop him from killing terr you were left 1v1 with a shark and I donno what MAGICAL rep hulk has to make u fly from mid all the way to the left wall (stop to pick up greens) miss 2 shots randomly fired and then finally shoot him after he killed ur terr. Don't gas light dude it's all there in the video. You refuse to acknowledge your flaws and make yourself look weak AF by not being able to handle criticism about your play.

interestnig how Zid and I went over this exact play and he agreed w wat im saying.. if kado had controlled hulk as one would expect... ogron could have taken safety from turban... plus HK there.

"think i make zero mistakes" ... i make many little mistkaes always, like anyone. misplays and mistakes are different.

unsurprised to see nip slapped in previous reply and instead of defending herself resulting to idiotic chirps.

In the end, you will end up as a non factor this season, like everyone expected.

That's cold. Funny, and probably true lol, but cold.

First notice the pro play I make a few seconds before - I rarely line, but when i do its usually gr8. here is no exception.
