Re: 2014 Twink Cup $1500 Prize Pool
You are too hard on yourself DA.
Back in the beginning of MoP I I came back to this bracket, and I was horrible, as I always had been (anyone remember me on my gnome rogue?). I rerolled a boomkin back when they were FOTM and thought I could be carried by the class, and some of that held true, because I was actually able to kill some people rather than ambush and die. Although I felt a bit better, I was still just as bad, I had awful positioning, was very bad at dotting, and very bad at offhealing, and the bracket saw this.
I had boomkins on horde and ally for queue time's sake, needless to say I met DA flag carrying on his Hpally. We talked a bit and I complimented his jumps and skills in /w. I then convinced him to add me to Real ID. Not long thereafter he asked me to come face him is 2s arena. I told him it was my first time doing arenas at 19, and he said to just do it and do my best. I obliged. My partner (who was very skilled, yet he could not carry my awful play) and I lost 18 out of the 20 games we played (I think) verses DA, and DA saw how poor my understanding of the game was.
After the arenas I was felling down on myself, then DA reassured me. He said he would help me by pointing out what I was doing wrong (boy was that alot). and that I could learn from my mistakes.
Several weeks later DA and me finally Arena'd together, and we lost bad. I played nervous, and when we lost DA got angry with me. I got a bit ticked off at him in return and we stopped talking for a while.
About 30 minuted after this DA called me back and apologized. I forgave him, and we've been stronger friends ever since.
Needless to say, you may come off as abrasive when something goes wrong, DA, but you've still got one hell of a heart.
You helped me, trash at the bottom of the bracket, gain some confidence and skill. A top tier player like yourself shouldn't have ever batted an eye at a player like I was. but you did. I'm sure as hell not some top tier perfect gameplay boomkin, but I am better than I was before, and I am trying to improve whenever I can.
I'm really sorry your father died, but don't think of yourself as a bad person. Anyone who can get through you getting mad from time to time when something goes wrong can see that you are a funny, awesome, likeable person.
Rock on DA.
