"lame 4s roll nades" aren't called that in an elite.  it's an awful term.

it's 1 shot out of many, and one of the more effective shots. start using it.

just play to win. don't complicate tus bng with honor play.

I don't need any proof to claim ToP did it, because I remember doing it myself, you can choose to not believe me but please don't question my memory just because I can't web archive it or just because there's others that are plainly making up shit (komodo being in top, dsm ever going 50 0)

that's fine, I won't challenge that memory. my main sticking point was that these undefeated records weren't even technically true due to Double of Nothing. still a nice feat, but it was a different time then with different standards.

heh, you should check replay again, mablak got a 52 on his last worm when everyone left the host. no pressure on his go, but still nice

should've been able to muster better than 60 myself. was playing at a friends, and even brought my kb, but that was not my usual performance, sorry dudes.


still, great job mm, worthy winners.

trying to be as neutral as possible:

TheKomodo actually does deserve some respect for his roping in the early years like '99-'01, for warming/style roping, not necessarily for his league roping. He was good, but 'one of the best' is so subjective that it's pointless to argue. Just know he had popular ropes, maybe top 50 warmer company (in no particular order; there were lots back then though).

'01-'03 had a big drop of older players leaving (Komo too, for a bit), but lots of other players made names for themselves, including shady. He also deserves respect for his warming/style roping, and yes he was fast (but again 'fastest' is so subjective that it's pointless to argue).


All these "50-0 ten times in a row" exaggerations are funny though, since I hear them a lot more and more as we get further removed.  Unless you guys can archive.org and pull up those old standings, it's easy to say without proof.  The only undefeated league record I can honestly remember was from the first worms clan league WACL when HOS did it, and even still, this was back in the Double or Nothing years of worms that ruined a lot of honestly in the standings (so even a 50-0 wasn't absolutely perfect, just removed lots of losses by winning Double or Nothings).


final notes: yes volcom was downright scary to play in league ropers. yes volrin was good, but he seems to get way more praise than he maybe deserves (but he definitely belonged in that top 50 warmer company I mentioned earlier with komo, again no particular order).

try reporting now. looks to be up.

Congratulations!

4th playoff title in a row for mm, a great feat.  There's another thread in the mm forums, but here's the path to victory.

sounds like just guessing in this thread. I don't have same powers as MonkeyIsland to check, but if nothing else is found, this should be locked.

Reminder: Round1 deadline - THURSDAY, August 16th

sock/kaleu, both risk kick out for silence

dulek/sir-j, sir-j you risk kick out for silence

Reminder: FINAL deadline - WEDNESDAY, August 22nd

sunday night
u told me saturday u play po xd

thanks, yeah ;x  still wanted to make sure, just to be safe.  the sat. po I told you about started 20gmt.

daina told me Sunday 00gmt, but do you mean Saturday night 00gmt? or Sunday night 00gmt?

I can see it being both ways, so just making sure.

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
