One hundred billion hours. muahahahahahaaaa

First and foremost, I’ve got nothing against Iller on any personal level, he’s always seemed like an extremely nice guy from what I’ve seen and talked to him, maye even somewhat naive at times. He always seem to try and keep a positive attitude and strive to improve the community, something he should be given a lot of respect for.
This doesn’t change the fact that, from my experience of playing against and spectating him, he overrates himself vastly and hardly got what it takes to play in div3, let alone at a div1-level.
Now, maybe I’ve just gotten the wrong impression of him and he might’ve improved a lot since last spring/summer-something when I saw him play the last time, but after 2000 hours of playing the same class (1500-something back then+loads of TFC if I’ve heard it correctly), I’d consider it a lost cause.
Also seeing him constantly grab every opportunity there is to tell everyone on these and other forums how he’s the soldier with the most playtime in the game, like it would somehow grant him some sort of magic authority/respect/sense of accomplishment/whatever without pairing it up with any form of accomphlisment larger than spending a week in Damn We’re Good, kinda gets on peoples nerves after a year or so. That’s basically it.

Lastly, while I don’t want to make myself or my personal skill part of any discussion, let’s just say I got offers from clans I would’ve gladly have accepted if I didn’t decide that, after playing 1200 hours or something of this game in total, I’d rather do something more constructive with my time than play TF2 several hours a day. I would wholeheartedly recommend other people doing the same. ;D

Thanks for some more constructive comments instead of any attempts of pointless flaming or trolling. I appreciate that (even if I might disagree with you…).

First I would like to point out that I don’t grab every opportunity to tell people about my playtime. I have done so on the forum a couple of times in the past years, sure, but I don’t do that too often and I never say that my playtime automatically makes me good, even though it certainly has given me a lot of experience of the game.
This thread we are writing in is specifically about that question. I answered the question in a neutral way and wrote my playtime without telling anything about it implying me beeing l33t or something similar.

However it seems that people (who I never have had any contact with by the way) get jealous or something and immediately have to start to flame by saying “You are rubbish” and similar sort of things. So if you take a look again, you see that I am not the one starting discussions like this one.

I like the game and therefore play a lot. I also do everything I can to improve my skills during that time. This is a valuable aspect of a player and neccessary for getting somewhere. You appearently didn’t seem to have the same stubborness and will to stay to get somewhere and quitted TF2 instead of joining some better clans.

You are completely right in that I haven’t been in a successful team and therefore don’t have anything to boast about there. I have never said otherwise.
Of course however, you need a team to be successful in a team. I’m a lost cause because I don’t have had enough victories with my nonexistent team when playing public or on my own training server ?

I left my old team SdX’08 because I wanted to play with people willing to practice more and to be as determined as myself of getting better, both individually and as a team.
Not even the best player in the world could get anywhere if he was in a team where it was very hard to get a full team, the players shifted and shifted classes all the time and most of the players where not really interested in trying to get any better.

And your experience of me is extremely limited (and old).
Yes, you won some dm matches against me on animate Granary some year ago or whatever. Your aim was very good and if your gamesense is/was similar (which I do not have any knowledge about) you would undoubtfully do good in div 1.
However, 1 vs 1 ammomod/Animate granary is not the same as a real 6 vs 6 game TF2.
I often see Darn getting beaten by Div 5 soldiers in ammomod. Does this mean he is crap ?

My strenghts are my reflexes, my ability to keep track of a lot of opponents at the same time (this I have practiced a lot on dm and spammy pub servers for example), my ability of strategical and logical thinking and my aim.
Also I have studied probably hundreds of top games to analyze the tactics and so on.

Also, last summer I also finally got a better computer, screen, mouse, mousepad and so on, so I don’t have to play on my small crappy laptop anymore…

Since I haven’t been in a team for a while I could admit I would probably be a bit rusty at the moment, but if I find a team I have no doubt whatsoever that I would do good in div 2 and after some time in div 1.

having played with iller, i would say he had got a top notch aim, dunno about game sense though!!! the only criticism i have about him is he should duck when he is in mid air (makes you harder to shoot imo):DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD meow
