Dulux, Cue, Sock, Sir-j ? Aren't you bored to get PWNED by Mab ? His profile is full of gold, we gotta change this and at least have 1 f@#!ing map where he cant beat our time. We sure can do this ;P He is 1st in exactly 51/51 challenges he played. Honestly if I could see at least 1 silver in his profile (in the ttrr part) it would show there is A SMALL BIT of competition to him :)
When we talk about current RR Pros we dont even quote Mab coz he is number 1 by default, we got used to this and we compare each other without talking about him, but we gotta change this guys =).
Go on pick 1 map over the 51 record he has and lets beat him :)
We needa start the revolution on Mab, move your ass and prove ourself that he ain't anymore the god of rr :).
I count on u guys :D

Quote from: LOTR
Hold your ground! Hold your ground!
Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers,
I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me.
A day may come when the courage of men fails,
when we forsake our friends
and break all bonds of fellowship,
but it is not this day.
An hour of wolves and shattered shields,
when the age of men comes crashing down,
but it is not this day!
This day we fight!!
By all that you hold dear on this good Earth,
I bid you stand, Men of the West!!!
;)
SRY MAB ! Love you still !
I encourage everyone to try and steal as many records as they can, I'll defend them to the death! In fact I'm a little more interested in improving the records I already hold than new challenges, because keeping them competitive brings the times ever closer to perfection, which is something we all wanna see ;0

wait sir-j to be active again
he is more ttrr addicted then you all guys together
oww not sure we are more than you think playing A LOT offline.
< 3
give me a new tarantula ;p then np ;)
I love and respect Mablak etc, but I still think theres summin fishy about him, we must have a LAN challenge someday for him to prove he's as good as this lol.
It may even just be summin like, he's a brainy ass mother f@#!er and has the best equipment, modded keyboards, which other people don't, and that gives him an edge, or other people who may possibly be as good, have equipment that holds them back.
99% of his roping is fine, but theres just tiny small moments where I see him doing shit that's just f@#!ing wrong...
Mablak is like God, so many people want proof it's real, but never get it... So they have blind faith and believe.
I am like, in, 99.99% believe lol.

and this is how the thread will get 15pages in 3 days talking about something not related to the topic.
Well cmon lol, you can't expect someone to be as good as Mablak is, and not expect anyone to ask for proof lol.
Have I said something that no one else in this community thinks?
If so then sorry, it must just be me and i'll shutup lol...
man i already came close to some mab times and i think i have the possibility to beat him in every record he did. I play rope for 6 years with a 2 years break. He plays rope for ? 10-15 years ? looks rly fair to me that he is so good and better than us.
"99% of his roping is fine, but theres just tiny small moments where I see him doing shit that's just f@#!ing wrong..."
U have to show me then, i never saw mablak doing something that others cant do. He is better coz he manages to be v good whole turn, when a lof or v good rr player can do what he is doing, but not the whole turn.
Me and sock played a lot together trying to beat some of his times, and we didnt manage because we couldnt keep going v good the whole turn, its not like our best turns couldnt beat him, its just we do mistakes making us lose maybe 2 secs. I often was faster than mablak after 20-30sec, but failed because of stress or coz i dont control enough my rope to get the whole turn perfectly.
sock maybe did the time 40 like 50 times in az35 map, and 3/4 of those 40secs are with mistakes.
What i mean is that every mablak time is beatable, its not like we do our best turn with 0 mistakes and still dont beat.
I've been playing WA longer than Mablak, WA flows through my veins, I love this game and I have alot of faith in Mablak, I am still entitled to ask for proof whether you like it or not.
Stop getting so offended because other people have different views, in my opinion you have the best players in the world, then Mablak on a much MUCH higher level, he never fails, everyone else does, just get it already lol.
Until people start beating him, or he starts not winning everything 100%, I have every right to think this don't I?
I am not insulting anyone, but other peoples jealously or insecurity makes them angry at the things I say. Are you intimidated by this or something? Why should that concern me?
Edit: To me, it looks like Mablak hardly even tries sometimes(not saying he doesn't try... Don't twist my words ffs lol), but everyone else, is trying their hearts out...
Like, Mablak makes it look easy, others make it look hard lol.

Well Mablak claimed to attempt for 30 hours to beat one record. I assume he puts in multiple hours to beat other times. It's not like he pulls the winning time out of his bum in a puff of smoke.
Would seeing 30 hours of failed replays convince you that he is human and 100% genuine?
Perhaps you could ask Mablak to present to you a directory of 30 hours of cock up replays until the golden run was achieved? Would that convince you?
and komo im convinced we can reach his lvl in rr challenge and he isnt a god in it ;P

This, I believe :)
You guys are getting ridiculously good lol.
xd me and sock tries to beat him together now ;P kinda cool. Its not bad to have a break between each turn. I often fall after 2sec because no break, and it never happaned with sock
I didnt say it but rrX is a secret association of anti mablak to get him down ;)
komo, your out of your mind with the shit you say....
as chicken pointed out, mablak works for his great times, its not like he just says "ooo, somone beat my time....*host game* **uploads winning replay** "
lol
and besides, mablak is the best in every scheme, if he was just godly in ttrr, then you could wonder what the story is, but he is amazing in every scheme, because he put in the time, and work... and even the study to learn these schemes, and not only has he learned them, but he has mastered them, and this entire game....
you and i, and i would imagine most others just run ttrr maps for a long period of time, hours even... and thats our idea of practice....
but i can imagine mablak spending that amount of time and more (when he was progressing) just on climbs, and hours and hours just on swoosh's and hours and hours on other ttrr moves... until he has it down 100% perfect...
mablak is the most dedicated wormer there is, he has earned the title of the best.... dont f@#!in try to slander his name with a silly opinion dude...
ontopic: gl beating mablak times... i have watched some of his record replays and god damn... seems impossible.... but obviously its not IMPOSSIBLE... id like to see some of his challenges beat, will be a good battle.

:)
I have idea about rrX try-out. You join automatically if you beat any of mablak records xD
I think a lot of rope racers have proved themselves capable of beating Mablak's times.
Occasionally we'll get totally beaten by over 2 seconds, but often it will be by very small margins. If it was several seconds all the time then I think we'd have something to worry about. I think in the past there was less competition for Mablak but nowadays there are a number of ropers who can achieve similar times.
True, if Mablak is beaten then he does like to spend 20+ hours until he gets the record back, that is where the dedication comes in and perhaps this is a unique characteristic of his.
I think offline ttrr is a combination of skill and perseverance and as Avirex said, Mablak has lots of interest in being number 1, a kind of pride that helps him produce a little bit extra in a lot of ways.
I don't personally have any problem with not being the fastest. I enjoy roping so much and practice enough to be able to keep my skills levels up enough to hold my own. That's cool with me. If I get within a second or two of any of the top times then I'll feel content enough to get on with the rest of my life. I know that many top players could spend 30+ hours trying to get that golden run but most don't. It's tough going sometimes.
Even if someone beats his time on few maps, it doesn't mean that they've took his crown.. Someone would have to beat at least half of those 51 challenges to make him the second best.. ;)
On the other hand, don't make a "god" out of him, he's not "the best in every scheme" as avirex says, Dario owns him in inter, Komo owns him in bng, Cueshark owns him in SSR.. :P
Still, Mablak is the top when it comes to the best all-rounder wormers, which reminded me, there was some talking about Mablak vs Random00 in all schemes content about half a year ago or smth? Whappen' with that? Never happened?
Well Ramone I'll try to explain you our goal ^^
This is how we can resume RR standings :
1- mablak
2- Nobody
3- Nobody
4- Nobody
5- Around 10players + or - equal
Even if mablaks beats us sometimes by a very short time in challanges, the fadt that he got 51/51 gold makes his so far better than all others.
We dont except someone to get 1st place and Mab 2nd, I dont think this is ever possible, but when we look at the standings, it means that mablak got no challenge at his lvl, and thats true.
I dont think someone will a day fight for 1st place with him, but we would like the standings to look more like :
1- mablak
2- around 10 players + or - equal
I mean by that something like 45 gold by mab, 6 golds owned by other players that mab cant beat.
Makes him still N1, but us not "so" ridiculous comparing to him ;P
I believe some day someone will beat Mablak and he'll never beat it :) And if he does, it will be after 200 hours of tries, and yes he'll be still number one, but we will have the HONOR to put some challange to mab :)
Yeah, challenges are largely about time invested. Some people like twistah think that this makes RR challenges useless, but it's basically the same principle as practicing to improve, they both cost time and effort. I'm glad to see closer and closer times, and I'd be more than happy to see a time that I truly can't beat, although my brain wouldn't allow me to leave such a time alone ;0.
I don't mind people being suspicious of me, but there's nothing that I could possibly be using. You're free to send any replay to Cybershadow or Deadcode to test for x-speed, beyond that, there's just double tapping macros, but if you look at finger rollers, I'd think you'd be able to see that my taps aren't quite as fast. FR taps usually have a 2 or 3 frame delay, most of my taps are maybe 4 frames, though I can sometimes exceed that in short bursts. I'll try to record a video with my iPod touch though.
Ahem Ramone, Dario and I are pretty closely matched, for example I beat him in the finals of both the last two ONL playoffs, and in the finals of the Jakka's recent cup, though he's beaten me plenty before.

And I'll use this occasion to say that I'm your fan and that you're one of my favorite wormers of all the time.. :-*
You gotta love Mab. :) <3
P. S. One day I'll beat your ass in intermediate!!!

Just checked out my 1 space tapping, 4-5 frames delay, + Is that Im really cold, - Is that its the maximum I can do, in fact when I rope I tapping much slower, I mean I got too small 1 space experience to control tap on its full speed...
the only one that could beat mablak in TTRR is called nino, the king. Iam not interested ty, flw, bye ae putos.

You mean if someone posts a better time, he hasn't been defeated until the deadline is over lol.
But, this is the sole reason I hold him highly above everyone else, I am not saying you guys aren't top players, but it's his personality, his passion, his commitment, his "never give up" drive, that makes him simply much better than anyone so far on Earth at TTRR.
I don't see him so much as the best at any other scheme, maybe Elite, this is all, the rest he is beatble at his best.
Also, can't you ever reply to something you don't like without losing the plot and acting like a kid?
I am perfectly within my rights to say the things I have said, if anyone wants to try and prove me wrong, go ahead.
Also, Mab, in this day and age, video is not proof enough, especially for this game.
Edit - I never ever once said I don't believe Mablak doesn't cheat, I would still like proof, is that a crime? No, then shutup with the insults.
Ok, lets put this to bed.
What proof could he provide if not video?
I was just saying, for me it'd be cool to see all this go down, in a LAN competition, something I was looking into sponsoring and doing in the future, for anyone interested, but it's a while away, was gonna keep this idea a secret but f@#! it, I have tons of ideas for all kinds of shit lol.
Of course participants would have the option of bringing their own equipment, but it'd have to be checked of course.
Now tell me, you wouldn't just DIE to be able to do this, with all the best players you compete with regulary, in a proper sponsored show.
TTRR is about the only scheme worthy of such live feed and excitement and true competitive fever that people who don't even need to know what WA is, would be impressed.
Seriously, I would die to see all you guys faces and reactions and sportsmanship, in a real live sponsored event, it'd be a MASSIVE success.

I don't think Mab is better because he got more passion, commitment, "never give up" drive than his :P
All players trying to beat his times got that too. But he got more skills. He'd do an amazing time in 10 hours when we'd maybe spend 100 hours to get it ;P In this i see even more "passion, commitment, "never give up" drive" for us lol.

Alright, here's a vid, I just wanted to get a decent turn or two. Starts at 15.53 in the replay, 1.07 in the clip (I just used youtube's trim feature to make it start at 0.00, but apparently this takes a while to apply).

wowo its looks hard to have such speed with middle finger xD
Aw shame it's warming and not ttrr. Can't please everyone I guess : P
Nice middle finger action there. Enough to keep any girl happy :D
My middle finger got depressed.
I should post a video about my spasm in my middle finger, it's driving me insane.
yr middle finger is a beast ahuah

I wasn't playing worms when he made it. But I got like 20 emails from my old worms friends to check that amazing video. I'll never forget the moment I watched it. In that precise moment of time, somewhere, Volrin shred a tear and from that moment onwards we knew that roping would never be the same.

ropa "how many truly great ropers weren't fingerollers ? Um, Mablak and...?"
Well im not enough oldschooler to know every great roper, and i probably dont know the name of a lot, but the best warmer player after Anubis and Mablak were fingerollers right ?
Anyway, people must understand that being finger roller or 1 finger doesn't change any f@#!ing thing about the control of the rope. You think because Mab is the best rr/warmer player in da world and playing with 1 finger that nobody with fr could reach his lvl? Thats bullshit, all is about train.
How many players with FR can tap as fast as Mab or faster ? So many. Are they better ? No. Why ? Because they need more experience of warme/rr and a better TIMING WITH ARROWS.
When you learn fr, you fail often because you dont have the timing with space or u dont press well when u want to. But how many are we playing fr for years ? We are so many controlling our fr
perfectly and the only reason why we are not better than Mab IS BECAUSE WE NEED TO CONTROL ARROWS BETTER.
Example : In warmer, when u want to do 1 kick, an other to back, an other etc etc really fast, HOW HARD WOULD IT BE IF YOU HAD ONLY SPACE TO PRESS ? this is only SPACE(ropes reach roof) SPACE (ropes get off) micro fly, SPACE SPACE micro fly, SPACE SPACE micro fly.
This is EXACTLY the same than doing a SCROLL with taps. HOW MANY can do KICKS FAST ? HOW MANY can do FAST SCROLL ? yeah 20X more can do fast scroll and not fast kicks.
0 f@#!ING DIFFERENCE in both tricks with left hand (space hands). The only difference is Right hand. You have to press up+left or up+right keys at GOOD TIMES and THERE YOU f@#!ING PWN.
same f@#!ING thing about RR.
A guy playing rope for 5 years, having an average of taps every 3-4 frame, WITHOUT FR has NO advantage at all on a guy playing for 5 years, WITH FR, having an average of taps every 3-4 frame. WORKS FOR OPPOSITE TOO.
The only difference between those 2 player is : WHO CONTROL ARROWS THE BEST.
PLAYING WITH 1-2-3 FINGERS IS THE f@#!ING SAME after 2 years of train you CONTROL IT PERFECTLY Or 99%, but arrows. 0
GOOOT ITT ? >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
;D
Btw great vid mab, I imagined exactly your hand like this :) I take the same position if i want to press space fast with 1 fing, but not rly WORKING :) and I HAVE NO IDEA how u can rope with this BIG NOISE OMG... Even with music you still hear it

As for the rest of your post, please don't forget who you're talking with.
the rest of the post im talking to nobody in particulary. I was just talking to you at start. All big paragraphs I just talk in general.

Fair enough.
I only rope using 1 finger, does that make me pro?

Only if it's that one finger out of your 21.
Yeah the noise this space makes is pretty ridiculous, I always play wearing headphones. Last time I tried using speakers I was genuinely annoyed by how loud it was :0. It's a Dell Quietkey, standard kb that comes with Dell PCs, or used to.
And ropa, as much as I like reminiscing about the good ol' days, people will always play with whatever method they think is best. Maybe some people take harder or easier routes to learning things, who cares? Of course, if someone managed to rope well with their toes, that would be really amazing and deserving of respect, but we shouldn't withhold respect from people who take the most efficient route; that should be the expected route, if anything.
maybe its sounds stupid, but for roping those old keyboards is better then razor and all super logitech etc

Cool story but I don't see how that's relevant to what I said, it certainly doesn't oppose to it. Unless you're saying I shouldn't mock FR, in which case fair enough, feedback noted (and archived), mocking it might be going too far, let's just agree that on the overall grand scheme of things and when judging actual players, FR is just a gimmick.

it's not stupid, it's pretty close to common knowledge I'd say. IBM series M mechanical gold/silver contacts(the 1992 keyboards) remain as one of the most responsive keyboards up to date. Goes without saying it's amazing for roping.
yeah IBM was anubis kb too
Mechanical is the best I'd say.
Razer (I have Blackwidow) and Steelseries make mechanical kb's nowadays also. Maybe other companies too.
My keyboard makes hella noise. I love the sound though.
yeah mablak, also been using the older style Dell SK-8110 for as long as I can remember (copier :p ), but I've always wanted to try one of those nice gaming mechanical keyboards, like steelseries 6gv2, just to see how they are with roping. never wanted to pay that much for a keyboard though, oh well :p
So, I bought a Leopold mechanical, I have to say, unless you get used to them from the start of your worming career, it's probably not worth it. The actuation happens when the key is halfway pressed down, so if you twitch with the key below that spot, it results in a lot of undetected presses.
However, now they do sell these little rubber rings for mechanical kbs, which act just like the paper that I have under my spacebar, reducing the travel time of the key so it bottoms out at nearly the same time as the actuation happens. I'm not sure how well these work, would be cool if someone could find out.
DELLs are the best kbs. The only bad thing is you risk getting caught if it mysteriously dissapears from the office.
This is all just my opinion, so if you don't agree with it, just say that, don't start swearing and acting like a faggot.
Anubis was the "best" because of modified equipment, I could easily say, including myself, there are at least 20-30 players who could have been as good/better if they looked into modified equipment.
For me, Volrin is/was and always will be, the greatest Roper/Warmer of all time, I don't care what anyone else says lol.
Mablak is the best atm, his equipment is modified too I believe?
Alot of us other "best warmer players" from like, 7-13 years ago used normal, standard, box ready equipment, but Anubis and Mablak are the clever ones for finding better ways to get better, how silly of the rest of us !

Hahahahhahahahahahaha.
Anubis could out rope you (or anyone) using one finger and no taps, you'd knew this if you were active when he heavily into roping (in WWP and a couple of years after it).
Volrin, saltyk9, and probably some other top warmer players did what I do by putting paper under the spacebar. You're acting like there's some kind of standard kb, but there's not; people start off with different keyboards, and different sensitivities of keys, and we've always allowed any range of sensitivity. You could manufacture a kb with an even more sensitive spacebar than the one I have, and it'd be considered legal.
I'd agree that it would be unfair if people had to pay $100 or more to get a more sensitive spacebar, and there was no other way to go about it. But putting paper under your space is easy, and accessible to everyone. People should be able to play on whatever input device they like, so long as there are no macros involved, and it's button-based in a way such that the game takes exactly one input for each one press of a given key.

Lmao, trust me, me and Kai used to play alot, I actually kinda inspired him. Who you think you are man?
Mab, I didn't know they did that lol, I always used a standard keyboard and never used keychanger lol...
Makes me wonder how much better i'd have been if I got into the technical aspects lol...
I see how it's more possible under those conditions.

Doesn't take away the fact what you said was completely retarded. In fact, Anubis is also laughing, he's just too polite to admit it.
30 players better than Anubis if they stuck a paper under their spacebars, jajajajajajaja.
You're a delusional joke. But at least I'm not embarrassed by your posts anymore.
hah nice video Mab, nice to see you, you look like a cool dude
I don't think I came up with moddable kbs, Wargod gave me the hint to try it. I said to Wargod that I need a new kb that is more sensitive and he replied why don't you try to put something under your space? I can't remember if he said it for fun or actually had experience with it. But I definitely didn't come up with it myself, I just took it to a whole new dimension. And about the "I only can rope good with modded kbs": I was into Jmoberg roping with my old IBM Model M keyboard (the one with the click). A mechanical keyboard that you can't mod because it uses the buckling spring technology which doesn't work if you try to modify it or put something under it. But it would be my favorite roping style I could develop. It was also the keyboard I had when I won the style contest in 2008/9? and quit right after that, what I never told anyone is, that right after that WO my IBM kb died. Modern kb's just feel shit compared to old ones and I was f@#!ing sick of modding my kb for hours to make it similiar in feel to the unmodded one. So yeah, I didn't quit because I love WoW so much, I played W:A and WoW simultaneously for 2 years. Even nowadays when I rope a bit offline or do a game online it feels shit with this one (actually it's good for a modern one but I know that I could rope a lot better with my old).
Not gonna waste my time with inferior roping. :D
So has anyone taken any of his records yet? If so is there another organized section or thread for this?
Statik has taken away many of his gold medals.
anyway but still hes the guy

I see this topic for the first time, it's funny that Komo thinks Mablak uses cheats xD
He used some kind of doping tho, like Red Bull, but considering many people here play stoned, it's not a problem ;D
i use middle finger too! :DD btw i didn't know about this post.. it's very funny! mab is the best allrounder :)
Wow Statik i take back my words.. YOU are the MAN here ! :D

I was just saying, for me it'd be cool to see all this go down, in a LAN competition, something I was looking into sponsoring and doing in the future, for anyone interested, but it's a while away, was gonna keep this idea a secret but f@#! it, I have tons of ideas for all kinds of shit lol.
Of course participants would have the option of bringing their own equipment, but it'd have to be checked of course.
Now tell me, you wouldn't just DIE to be able to do this, with all the best players you compete with regulary, in a proper sponsored show.
TTRR is about the only scheme worthy of such live feed and excitement and true competitive fever that people who don't even need to know what WA is, would be impressed.
Seriously, I would die to see all you guys faces and reactions and sportsmanship, in a real live sponsored event, it'd be a MASSIVE success.
lmfao this post is gold... this entire thread is gold!! thank you for bringing it back to life wza!!!
hahha komo cracks me up, i seen him in AG just now, and we discusses some of his silly posts.. but he told me he still stands by anything he has ever said, so i linked him here... he told me he still stands by this post as well!!!
so everyone get ready for KomoCon 2014!! all hotel and airfare will be payed for by Komoito Enterprises coming soon :D
Cool to see him back!!
yes, we had a nice talk actually, we laughed about or past behaviors, and despite him not thinking atleast some things he said in the past were silly, and saying he stands by all of it.....
he did seem cool, chill, and relaxed, which is different from the high strung komo we all learned to love..
hopefully he will come back to furms next, but i dont think that will happen, from what he told me.

he will. only a matter of time. he was never going to play worms again, remember?
I dunno why I'm resurrecting an old thread, but I just had to say something:
I've always felt like there was something really strange about Mablak. I remember playing with him many years ago (before he inexplicably got good) and he was an average to below-average player. I remember this clearly, and was extremely active at the time. Then, summer comes. I stop playing for the summer (don't remember the year) to, well, enjoy summer.. and I come back to W:A after several months of break time. After I come back, Mab is all of a sudden raping people. I didn't understand it then, and I don't understand it now. I have never seen someone get so good in such a short period of time. He wasn't always the player most people know him as... he was totally mediocre, and then in the span of 3-4 months he become an excellent player. I can't wrap my head around it. *shrug*

That's so weird skunk, I never noticed getting a skill jump like that, except when I first came to WA from WWP and started leagues for the first time, like 02-03.
I do remember one thing I did that boosted my TTRR skills; a long time ago I gave myself the challenge of beating all 50 QP maps in under 60 secs, and worked on that for a month or two. It seemed really hard at the time since TTRR was only just emerging, though now a bunch of people can do this. But I went from 'this might be impossible' to 'damn this is easy'.

I definitely noticed it dude. We used to play a lot back in the day and it's really inexplicable. I even said this to you back then. I was like 'WTF man have you been doing nothing but playing 24/7 since I left?' lol
TBH I don't know if we were playing W:A or WWP at the time. I played WWP exclusively for quite some time after it came out, but eventually went back to W:A. All I know is that it's really weird, like the real you died in a car wreck and your parents had you rebuilt like the 6 Million Dollar Man without telling you. (Or Robocop, or Goku going into the time chamber) The difference in skill in just a few short months was definitely noticeable. When I came back I asked someone in AG who would be good for some serious competition and they said Mablak. I was like... seriously? Then we played a couple of games some time after that and I noticed that you were wayyyyyy better than before. Like, to a shocking degree.
I've never seen anyone improve so much in such a short amount of time. You must have been playing a LOT, or sold your soul to the devil.
Fascinating dude o_o. I was always playing a lot back then though... the super saiyan powerup could've happened during a summer when I had more time than usual. I mostly remember playing funners with you though, maybe part of the explanation was that you didn't see much of my 'league' side at the time.

Sounds like you would fit in the KameHouse, Cody.
I remember Mablak quite well, he used to do these weird pumps where he just endlessly smacked the worm against the wall/land and then released after like 3-4 seconds. Always made fun of it. :D You can get good at Worms quite quickly, you just sit down and learn offline, that's the good part about it. Most other games require you to "fight" other people. But in W:A you kind of do PvE content where you can practice offline all day against yourself. Maps are the same as online and so are the physics so you can become a god at it without any online presence.
That's true, I shifted from constant pumps to more fast-timing moves. Those pumps were the shit man, the only problem is that you can't prove you're doing them all intentionally, and they also take time away from other moves! They didn't really catch on though. Someday.
Yeah there could be a prodigy who's been leveling up for the past 16 years in a secret Russian bunker, practicing at 50 times normal gravity and getting electric shocks whenever their worm stops moving at max speed. We would be like flies to such an ubermensch.

Reminds me Rocky IV. Don't share same fate with Apollo if that happens!
main reason why ill stay more noob than pro :) practicing alone just bores the shit outta me, even challies i use to stop after few attempts. community games are it.

there was someone I used to play warmers with who did those ~8 touch pumps and outlaws, he did them quite alot and they worked, maybe that someone was u? =P
also yanme'e got really good in warmers just before he quit and started taking LoL more seriously, maybe it was yanme'e?
