i am starting to think that this year, our nats team is going to be destroyed. sure we have people from channelfireball that are more than capable of winning together becuase they are able to gather the minds of so many pros of the game but what of the other two? right now i am looking up kolos and not finding much other than he works for tcgplayer and i am not even sure how valuable that is.AJ sacher and wescoe write for them...but they both got fired. Flores wont waste his time and i am sure frank has better things to do. as for Anthony Eason...who the hell is this kid and has he even done anything since he some how placed at nats? i posted something on twitter about him only placing at nats becuase he played RDW and how that deck is an auto pilot deck and i was jumped on for A. saying that RDW takes some kind of skill...yeah i dunno about that and B. because...well that was it. Never mind that i was talking about if this kid is good or not. He has played RDW and has accomplished nothing since then. the team is doomed unless he cant go to japan or hes smart and stays at home and watches it online while Ocho goes with wrapter and kolos and kolos steps up his game.
i understand that this is coming off as me talking shit but can you honestly tell yourself that this team is great and has a chance to win worlds as a group? do you really think that Kolos and Anthony are really ready for teams like Japan? China? Germany? France? other than channelfireball players, i this team has little to no chance of winning at Worlds and thats kind of a bummer.
If people have been keeping track of twitter and SCG events you will see that Gerry Thompson has won the invitational today and last week an Open and what a run its been for him this month. hopefully he will take worlds with the hot streak he is on huh? i am thinking that he should be thanking the Eh Team becuase prior to winning this Invitational he was on the cast and talked to the guys. Then he proceeded to win this weekend....soooo yeah dont forget to thank the guys GERRY! and Congrats to him, i really do hope he wins worlds.
This weekend i took part in PTQ paris and i finished 15th just barley missing the top 8 to a deck that also knocked my friend out of contention of top 8. if i would have won, i would have been in top 8 and i am confident that i would have at least made top 4 because of all the shit ton of drafting i had done. his deck was really good and i am going to do a write up on the event and a small video of what my deck was and how amazingly fun it was to play it and my opinion on sealed format and magic as a whole...i have a lot of things to say and i want to make sure i get a write up before i just start write off the top of my head.
another fun thing at the PTQ was that i unknowingly met @Baconhax at the ptq and didnt realize it. he was judging the event and i didnt even know. friendly guy and i think he answered my Slagwurm question.
SECOND! i met Arthur halavais and he was judging. really friendly guy and told me how he is playing a sembalance anvil deck and copies vengevines with rite of replications...W T F... smart guy. it was nice to finally meet.
AND another thing.... i need a fuckin 60cards shirt...i wanna rep the site... i wanna keep winning and get the name out there...tha fuck is my shirt. nobody is gonna rep harder than i do other than maybe jesse...sigh
jesus my grammar is terrible, i should slow down when i am typing
on a quick side note, thought it was really cool that my friend,Vince, knowing that i write for 60cards.com still considered me apart of the Channelfireball group. in no way do i dislike the group or not want to be apart of them, i just decided to not write for channelfireball and decided to join 60cards.com and i dont regret that decision at all, i love what jesse has put together.
Lies! Not friendly at all. I spent all day poking players mid-match in at attempt to make them screw up.
ReplyDeleteI'm an schmuck, I tell you!
What I meant to say is that we're all part of the group of regs that play at Superstars.
ReplyDeleteBut I fully respect and support the fact that you take pride in writing for 60cards.com. =)
