Too Wasted to Play: PTQ Report: *Winner*

by Kev

So, after a very rough weekend it is now Sunday night, and I’m wasted. The quarter still has to drop that I will be going to Japan for PT Yokohama. I will enlighten all of you with the different stories that I have experienced this past weekend and that have influenced my PTQ outcome.

Sometime last week: I give Bolle (Droes) a call that I will be playing the PTQ this weekend and that I will need a deck to play. Bolle knows I would really like to play Aggro Loam, so he goes up to Nakur and borrows the deck for me. When I’m told a day in advance that the deck is not complete, I tell Bolle that he is responsible and that he has to fix the situation or I will never talk to him again. As if he has pepper between his buttocks he is running around to ask people whether he can borrow cards so the deck gets complete. In the end, all turns out well and I can still talk to Bolle; my deck is complete.

The night before the PTQ: Well, damn you RiQuS|P! Supposed to come over to my place, but at around 11.30 pm I receive a call: “Sorry, I forgot to take the tickets for Pendulum, I will have to go home to grab them. I’ll see you tomorrow at the PTQ, I won’t be playing anymore though…” Right, so now I stayed up for nothing. I walk into my housemate’s room and notice she is there with a friend. I see a nice joint being rolled and I realize this evening will come to a good end anyway.

Saturday morning: When I hear the buzzer my alarm clock loves waking me with each morning I curse the fact that I didn’t sleep nearly enough. 6.30 am is not a time I’m comfortable with getting up at, especially when I smoked nigh infinite amounts of weed the night before. After a quick shower all gets better and I pack my bag for a (hopefully) nice weekend. As soon as I have prepared my sandwiches for the day I get of to the train station to get to Utrecht in time. After about an hour in the train, disaster struck: a friend of mine (Joep) notices that the nasty smell of burned plastic is filling the wagon. We go out for an inspection and soon we find out that there is smoke coming out from one of the upper corners in the back of the wagon. Luckily for us Joep’s dad is a firefighter, so Joep knows what to do: he grabs the fire extinguisher that is near us. After fiddling with the extinguisher for a minute he finally gets the pin out and is able to extinguish the little fire that has started to erupt from the upper corner. All this means though that the train cannot go further and everybody has to get out on to the track. Damn, bad start of the morning as it means I cannot get to the PTQ in time. When the next train arrives we all climb into it and we are able to continue the trip to Utrecht with about an hours delay. I give the head judge a call to inform him that he has to put me onto the player list but that I probably won’t make it in time. This is where the tables turn for the day though, as I walk in about half an hour late, I hear there are some computer problems and the PTQ hasn’t even started yet. I get myself a nice cup of coffee and tell everybody who wants to here about my firefighting story. As round 1 is finally called I pick up my deck and hope the best. I’m way too wasted to play.

Now the deck I am playing:
BGR Aggro-Loam
Main Deck Sideboard
1 Blood Crypt
2 Stomping Ground
3 Bloodstained Mire
3 Wooded Foothills
1 Forest
2 Mountain
4 Forgotten Cave
4 Tranquil Thicket
2 Ghost Quarter
1 Overgrown Tomb
1 Swamp 
4 Terravore
4 Wall of Roots
4 Birds of Paradise
4 Dark Confidant
2 Devastating Dreams
3 Seismic Assault
2 Putrefy
3 Life from the Loam
4 Burning Wish
3 Cabal Therapy
2 Duress
1 Engineered Explosives
1 Devastating Dreams
1 Life from the Loam
1 Cabal Therapy
1 Duress
1 Engineered Explosives
1 Hull Breach
1 Shattering Spree
2 Smother
1 Deathmark
3 Ravenous Baloth
2 Ancient Grudge


For the keen eyed, this indeed is an exact copy from a deck that made Top 8 in a PTQ somewhere in the States. Blame me for netdecking, I played the deck and found that the deck is in a very good form. If I would change anything now though, I would cut the Baloths for Darkblast. The Boros matchup is not about life, it is about being able to cast your spells. A good Boros player will have boarded in Land destruction to keep you low on mana. Baloth just costs too much mana when you are being beaten down by random 2/X dudes. If you want more information about this deck visit Frank Karsten’s column on mtg.com or read Flores article where he tries to explain the deck but horribly fails to miss the key points and plays.

Round 1: Domain Zoo
Game 1: I get stuck on two lands, no green, for a turn or two but it is not a big problem. He has no white mana which means his Watchwolf and Savannah Lions are stranded in his hand. When he finally hits white, I cast Devastating Dreams, crushing his hopes and board as I topdeck more lands than he does and am able to cast a lethal Terravore before he is able to kill me.
Game 2: I get a turn two Terravore that is 4/4 due to our fethlands. When I untap I slam Dreams onto the table and he concedes.
1-0

Round 2: Mono U Control
Game 1: I cast turn two Dark confidant but he has Force Spike for it, kind of destroying my card advantage game plan. After I draw into some discard + Terravore and Devastating Dreams I see an opening to play Terravore. Next turn he has one unknown card in hand. I know three of his Spell Snare are gone so I go all in on my Dreams. Obviously he has topdecked it, and I succumb to Meloku beats.
Game 2: I get another turn two Terravore and follow up with Duress and Dreams. He concedes as his only out is Repeal which would be to slow.
Game 3: I get a slow start but finally get a Dark Confidant through his countermagic around turn five. He has a Pithing Needle on the board for Seismic Assault, and when he plays multiple Trinket Mages for Tormod’s Crypt and two Chalices I know the game is pretty much over. I concede when I don’t see a Terravore as his Urza’s factory is building Assembly Worker number five.
1-1

Interlude: After round two I get a call from Daan, who is a very good friend of mine. I first met about half a year ago when my university started, also an ex-magic player. He knows I am in Utrecht and he tells me he is somewhere in the venue. When I spot his face we get a cup of coffee and chat a bit. The first thing he notices is the abundance of social outcasts. I tell him this is pretty much what the magic world looks like. He asks whether he can watch as round three is getting started. My opponent doesn’t really mind when I tell him Daan doesn’t even have a clue what my cards do. The last time he touched a card is more then five years ago. Now he has girlfriend and he is not allowed to hang out with nerdy people. I am an exception to the rule as I am not your average nerd. I tend to have a social life, containing loads of friends, beer and willing girls. Oh, and I look good.

Round 3: GWr Slide
Game 1: Oh my, I got the bye. When my opponent lays turn three Astral Slide I know I can sit down and chill. I thrash-talk with Daan, literally talking my opponent into making mistakes. As my opponent is desperately trying to Chant-lock me, I ‘accidentally’ flash a Putrefy so that he will play around it. I get a free turn and am able to lay down a Seismic Assault. My opponent tries to lock me but as I have four lands in hand his Eternal Witness never survives to be slided out. I eventually get through all his Chants and kill him with Loam and Assault.
Game 2: I realize my opponent will probably bring in Krosan Grips. This doesn’t really matter as I will just change the game plan to Terravore and Devastating Dreams. After about ten turns I lay Terravore and Dreams for the board. He has no answer and concedes.
2-1

Round 4: Aggro Flow
Game 1: He goes turn one Confidant with mox + fetch. Somehow I put him on AggroLoam with Moxen or something and it costs me the game as I use my Wooded Foothills to grab a stomping ground and play Birds. When he plays turn two flow I’m in deep trouble. I can't find a Terravore in time and die to confidant and Call of the Herd beats.

Interlude 2: It is getting pretty warm in the venue and I hate it when there are 100+ people in a room and the heating system is blasting heat into the room at full power. I get up from my chair and yell into the room that ‘It’s friggin’ way too hot in here!’ People look at me and ask: ‘How much too hot?’ ‘Damn, friggin’ nasty bitch-ass way too hot!’ is my reply and I continue to board for Game 2 as if nothing ever happened.
Game 2: I board in Smothers for some slower cards. I am with my back against the wall the whole game because of his Jitte. When I finally find a Wish for Spree to destroy his Jitte and Pithing Needle he doesn’t have a lot left versus the huge Terravore I drop.
Game3: I keep a hand with Birds, three lands and three Terravore. I drop Terravores on turn two, three and four while in the mean time I have found a Life from the Loam. He concedes when I have three 7/7 guys attacking for lethal.
3-1

Round 5: GWr Slide
Game 1: I keep a sketchy hand that doesn’t do anything besides turn two Confidant. Luckily it turns out he is playing Slide, so I get all the time in the world. I make sure I can not be Chant-locked and after a lot of time I drop Assault and kill him in the same turn with Life from the Loam
Game 2: Nothing really happens. He doesn’t find any Cycling Enchantments so his deck doesn’t do anything at all. I play Terravore turn five and immediately cast Devasting Dreams for five. He concedes.
4-1

Interlude 2: RiQuS finally arrives at the PTQ and gets me a drink. I guess that’s the least he could do to make up for the fact he forgot our tickets. After the quick refreshment we chat a bit about how good this weekend is going to be; we are really looking forward to Pendulum! Pairings go up and I am happy I can play a matchup that will not take very long. The guy I am playing always plays aggro, how lucky.

Interlude in Interlude 1: My opponent is visibly shaken by the fact he is pretty much playing for Top 8. He has been in Top 8s before, but somehow he doesn’t seem too happy to see my face at the other side of the table. This may be the point where I can tell you guys about myself. I am someone that looks like he knows what he is doing but also very relaxed at all the times I am playing. I trash-talk the ears off your head and use this ‘Gift from God’ to disturb peoples games. Especially opponents that are not used to trash-talking and try to keep up with me are torn apart by these actions. The guy I am playing knows that I trash-talk like there is no end to life and he doesn’t like the fact that I am making a lot of jokes about how he will never win this matchup. When he offers the draw I politely decline, I do mention that I will take the draw when I am almost dead on the board in game three. He tries to give me a smile but is not amused.

Round 6: Dark Boros
Game 1: I keep a hand with turn two Seismic Assault. He doesn’t find Vindicate in time, and I can kill all his dudes and take my time while building up a huge Terravore. When he finally finds pro-red crestures it is too late as his side of the board is looking like some weird form of Chump-a-ton. After three attacks with my Vore he is finally dead.
Game 2: I board out all of my discard and bring in my Baloths and Smothers. I do not really get of the ground in this game. When he has a chance to deal me lethal I have the Smother to kill at least his Jotun Grunt so I can survive till next turn. I still die next turn to his unblockable Priests.
Game 3: I get the nuttiest hand in the tournament: turn two Terravore and turn three Seismic Assault. I shoot eight damage to his head and attack with my 7/7 Terravore. He has one turn to kill it, but he is one damage short, so it is lethal. 

Round 7: Dark Boros
After round six I am on top of the 5-1’s, and my opponent is second of the 5-1s, so it is pretty obvious we take the ID here.

Quarters: Dark Boros (from round 7)
Game 1: My opponent misreads my Devastating Dreams; he doesn’t counter it with the Mana Tithe in his hand and loses the game because of it. My Terravore is lethal next turn and we go onto game two.
Game 2: I keep a slow double Baloth hand. I never reach four mana because of his slew of land destruction. He has killed six of my lands, and when I am finally able to cast a Baloth all it does is delay the final blow for a turn.
Game 3: I keep a decent hand, nothing spectacular. My opponents draw is pretty good though with double Soltari Priest and some Molten Rains. When I am dead on the board next turn I think for about three minutes in my draw step. There is a Loam in my graveyard which can get me close to a Smother or something. After thinking long and hard I realize that my only out is to draw Devastating Dreams straight from the top of my deck. I tell my opponent that I will topdeck Devastating Dreams to win the match and proceed to do so! I lay Terravore, Devastating Dreams for three and attack with my Baloth. Because I am on one and he has two priests I sacrifice the Baloth and go up to five after combat. He has a lot of outs left as he still has a land on the board and some Helixes in hand and Firebolts in his deck. He topdecks Vindicate and is not to happy with the outcome. He knows he has thrown away the match and I realize I got way to lucky to make it to the semifinals.

Semis: Mono U Control (from round 2)
So, now it is for the marbles! The winner will get an invite for Yokohama and 900 euros to pay for the trip. Don’t you just love two-slot PTQ’s?
I win the roll and rape his hand with good discard spells. I drop a Terravore and due to him not drawing one of his Repeals he loses quickly.
Game 2: He gets a turn three Trinket Mage, turn four Chalice for two. I can’t find either Assault, Putrefy or Terravore before I get killed by his two Trinket Mages.
Game 3: I keep a decent hand and lay turn one Birds. He plays Scrabbling Claws and Tormod’s Crypt, but I rip Ancient Grudge of the top like a true Pro and kill his two artifacts. I am in control the entire game although he has a Needle for my Seismic Assault. I start Loaming like crazy to find myself a Putrefy. The turn I find it I play it he is still on twenty. I duress his last card in hand then play Putrefy on the Needle, I follow it up with three lands to his head and two Life from the Loam’s to put him at two. My Confidant connects for the final two points that get me qualified for Yokohama.

My goal was to tell you guys some interesting story here about how I partied like a lunatic after winning the PTQ, but I am way to tired to tell you about the Drum&Bass-parties in the Netherlands. All I can say is that RiQuS|P is a real PlayaHater. He just stands in a corner, and the girls walk up to him for a chat like he is some kind of chick magnet; it’s not fair. 
Now, it’s time for beer…

I realize I got way to lucky to make it to the semifinals.

I didn't put that in for nothing...

Everybody that knows me in real life knows I behave exactly the same way as I have written in my report. I am a lot of people's worst nihtmare, and I thrive of the attention it gets me!

Everybody knows I suck @ Magix

nice report m8..:)

Mana Tithe in BDW? WTF? I wouldn't play Mana Tithe in T2 Boros!


by DS_McWerp on 2007-02-28 06:45 MDT

Kev, you UGLY. And riqus a chick magnet? I just can't believe that :p.

Congrats on q'ing.


by Holzi on 2007-02-28 06:46 MDT

Don't say that, Mana Tithe is more playable than the people think, but i would play Orims Chant over it in BDW Sideboard


by Holzi on 2007-02-28 06:46 MDT

Please don't lie.

"Oh, and I look good."

Grats :)


by TugaChampion on 2007-02-28 07:41 MDT

Holzi, I never said Mana Tithe was bad. It's a Force Spike after all. The thing is BDW wants to kill as fast as it can. Having Mana Tithe in there just slows you down. At most it's an SB card for T2 Boros! In extended Chant is way better and again it's just an SB card for Boros. Mana Tithe is good in the kind of decks Force Spike is good. I would never take out burn or creatures for Mana Tithe in Boros.


by CHRONICBL on 2007-02-28 07:43 MDT

GJ Kev way to represent.
All I can say is that RiQuS|P is a real PlayaHater. He just stands in a corner, and the girls walk up to him for a chat like he is some kind of chick magnet; it’s not fair.
But you know this actually makes you the "PlayaHater".
Dont hate the player, Hate the game.

I hate the game, and RiQuS|P just a weeee bit

Thanks..I guess


by Taoofss on 2007-02-28 10:35 MDT

seriously, who gives a shit if you smoked the night before. what you think telling the league you smoke makes you cool? You are very full of yourself.


by Via on 2007-02-28 11:16 MDT

just let him to be COOL, congratz to PT slot


by Kev on 2007-02-28 11:42 MDT

seriously, who gives a shit if you smoked the night before. what you think telling the league you smoke makes you cool? You are very full of yourself.

Smoking is legal in the Netherlands, your not cool or uncool if you use the drug, its just a choice you make.

I would also like to note that I am probably one of the older players in the league with my 21 years of age, i dont need anyone to think im cool. I know i am cool the way i act. People accept me the way i am and thats what its all about. If you dont like me, im not your friend.

I would also like to note that this a tournament report and the way i lived up to it. For strategy, your probably better off going somewhere else.


by SarcasticRat on 2007-02-28 12:51 MDT

This article sucked, and is partly why m-l articles are always terrible. I don't see why people feel the need to include incredibly unfunny, e-penis boosting stories in all of their PTQ reports. I also don't see why people need to herald the fact that they did a bunch of drugs, as if any of us cares, and as if doing so is an actual accomplishment. Honestly, we don't care about what the temperature in the room was, or how you were the only one man enough to point it out. Please just tell us about your deck and write some match reports, then stfu.


by dsad on 2007-02-28 13:36 MDT

I agree with sarcastic for once. The first turn-off started with "TO WASTED TO PLAY LOLZ"


by mufl0n on 2007-02-28 13:56 MDT

lol,i actualy like the article.
all the nerds having only magic on their minds commenting is way to funny... xDDD


by SarcasticRat on 2007-02-28 14:02 MDT

"all the nerds having only magic on their minds commenting is way to funny... xDDD"

Given that this is a magic website, what exactly is so bad about having magic on our minds? :/ I can read stupid stories and other random crap about getting wasted on any other site on the internet. I don't need to see it here.


by snoopster on 2007-02-28 14:30 MDT

i honestly don't care how good you look or how drunk you got.

but congrats

i like stupid stories


by dv8r on 2007-02-28 16:25 MDT

I like stupid stories too, and you're more than welcome to call me a social outcast for liking magic. Congrats on the win, say hi to everyone in Yokohama for me.


by D_Austin on 2007-02-28 16:38 MDT

Pendulum fucking rules!!!


by nasa on 2007-02-28 16:44 MDT

i think the only thing missing from this story to make it sound like a total Dbag is 'my dad totally owns this dealership'


by Columbus on 2007-02-28 17:40 MDT

*Warned*


by dv8r on 2007-02-28 18:14 MDT

pot isn't illegal in the Netherlands, and I should note where Koen (who owns this site lest you forget) is based. The statements about drugs are pointless. It's basically saying that ppl should be banned from talking about alcohol or cigarettes (both of which are worse for you) in their articles.


by Dzy on 2007-02-28 18:22 MDT

By worthless, you mean PTQ winning pothead?


by sonicqaz on 2007-02-28 18:39 MDT

Columbus,

I agree I don't want to hear about his drug use either, but it isn't illegal drugs for him. Just wanted to clear that up, since you always like to point out mistakes everyone else makes.

Kev,

You were extremly lucky to win as much as you did, but at least you put yourself into situations in which you could win.


by Erebus- on 2007-02-28 18:51 MDT

I was curious about drugs in the Netherlands and looked it up. Pot is actually illegal. Yet the law overlooks it to the point that it is legal. So the official law says it's illegal but law enforcement acting on it is a taboo.


by Pollo on 2007-02-28 19:05 MDT

I liked it, gj ;)


by slickrick on 2007-02-28 19:43 MDT

agree dude love the article, way too many nerds in magic, i hardly own anycards myself. btw marijuana ftw! i hate all the people ripping on it bc there is no real science behind the "rotting" i think its great. party hard dude, have fun in japan -grabbing a beer myself

LIKE 1700z


by Taoofss on 2007-02-28 22:08 MDT

This should not be a debate on the legality or morality of smoking weed or drinking beers. The arguement should be: Does talking about smoking weed and drink beer belong on magicleague articles. The answer is an obvious NO. Mods do your fucking jobs.

how can we forget how good snoopster is, he only reminds us 3 times a day.


by Goji on 2007-03-01 00:20 MDT

columbus- shut up.. pot is only illegal in america pretty much. And it probally will be legal here one of these days. cigaretes is worse than pot for you. You act like a 3 year old who hasnt ever hrd of any bad words before. You shouldnt play magic if your balls hasnt dropped and u dont like to hear bad language.


by Kev on 2007-03-01 01:06 MDT

Whow, i never realized putting in the story from the night before would bring up this much drama. If someone can start a Vote in the forums with: Should you be able to talk about your own drugabuse in frontpage m-l articles?


by Linkman on 2007-03-01 02:23 MDT

by Kev on 2007-02-28 19:42 CET

----
Modesty is one biggest virtue, and if you're so cool, try being less of an ass. Thanks. Try growing up for a change, because at an age of 21, you should know that boasting about how cool you are is what someone of 15 will do.

That statement is not directed at just Kev, but at the entire online community. You're not cool because you say so. I'm not cool, but I don't pretend like I am.


by slickrick on 2007-03-01 03:10 MDT

i think kev is cool i got his back haha


by Equinox- on 2007-03-01 03:30 MDT

All I can is wow. This is stupid.


by Ashmatan on 2007-03-01 08:50 MDT

congrats on the Q kev! ;) OK, now because we don't have anything else to do with our lives, let's all just jump on the guy who mentioned smoking in his report. We won't take into account where he's from or anything else. Give it a rest! Kev, you can tell the people that don't have lives by the negativity in their comments. Anal magic is all they do and all they have time for. GL in Yokohama!!


by Ashmatan on 2007-03-01 09:04 MDT

By the way, just to report. 16 extra comments because of 2 instances of something weed-related. Amazing! I thought it added humor to the beginning of the article which invited the reader to continue without fear of boredom. To hell with people who verbally attack you on here. Haters!!


by Rawrer on 2007-03-01 09:14 MDT

TeknoLink if you're not cool then stfu
Kev knows the truth.

BTW if I'll ever write a magic-league article I'll make a lot of reference to drugs use etc.


by ForzaAzzurri on 2007-03-01 10:10 MDT

wow, PV and RiQuS|P-, 2 chickmagnets going out next thursday together...

BETTER KEEP YOUR WOMAN IN!!!


by NahHolmes on 2007-03-01 10:54 MDT

This article is a self masturbatory peice of crap aimed at making you seem cool in real life to a bunch of people you will never meet...


by sonicqaz on 2007-03-01 12:33 MDT

"self masturbatory peice of crap"

Harsh, but hilariously funny.


by DS_McWerp on 2007-03-01 14:29 MDT

I wish my crap would masturbate. That would be hilarious. But no its just sits there, floating.


by dv8r on 2007-03-01 15:14 MDT

The funniest comments here aren't the weed comments, but the comments by people that claim they don't care about being cool, but jump on you for "trying" to make yourself look so. This is a good article, the only bad thing is that it's probably going to disaude me from writing one to compete with it this quarter ;)

Lol, how bad jealousy is. I think a report is like a newpaper article, they are many ways and styles of writting it. If Kev wants to talk about his own experiences out of game, just be a little open-minded, and show some respect. If u dont mind if Kev was wasted or not, just don't pay attention, and concentrate on Round 1 , Round 2 & Round 3 things,just reading magic strategy, and let the rest enjoy the experiences he lived.

BTW weed is ilegal in my country, and many people smoke it,some just for fun and some just like it, wathever, it's not a question of being cool or not, Kev just wanted to describe how he reached the PTQ and a night with 2 girls smoking weed its not a bad way :P

Thx for the report Kev, and congrats ^^


by Taoofss on 2007-03-01 18:13 MDT

how about you fan boys get on your knees and suck kev off. i dont care if you think smoking weed is cool or not, it however does not belong on this site. anyother magic sites, ANY, would not allow this act of self indulgence to be printed.


by poopascoopa on 2007-03-01 21:24 MDT

Stupid report. No one cares about your drug usage. That shouldn't be allowed here.


by Morpheus2222 on 2007-03-01 22:26 MDT

All and all I believe reading something about pot usage allowed us to read the "Whole" story instead of skimming it over a wonderful way to use semi- illegal ideas to grab our attention


by ForzaAzzurri on 2007-03-02 02:23 MDT

All you wank's are crying about 1 sentence in the complete story, get a fucking life or get the fuck out...


by SkaTista on 2007-03-02 10:30 MDT

good. =)


by M-TYPE on 2007-03-02 14:32 MDT

couple things....

#1 you sound like a total spaz if you can't recover fully from a night of smoking some dank

#2 you do earn kudos for liking DnB ... americans just don't know about that shit


by Kev on 2007-03-02 16:14 MDT

M-Type, you prolly missed the fact i slept for 5 hours and stayed up another 24 hours after that...


by Avata on 2007-03-03 00:20 MDT

Personally I really enjoyed this article. Honestly, if you are a solid M:tG player, play by plays of the matches have limited strategic value, as you should understand those interactions from playtesting anyway.

This means that many of us are reading tournament reports for one reason: entertainment. Part of that is interludes, the personality of the person writing, and the out-of-tournament activities.

This article is very entertaining and that's appreciated. If you just want "match reports and stfu" just have your friends playtest on apprentice and then read the logs.

I hereby claim this article for Canada in the year of our lord, 2005.


by Vodka_drink on 2007-03-04 12:44 MDT

i dont think anyone understands your article....they are talking alot of shit about you but the league needs to understand that when you say i like to trash talk...telling people your high and drunk is a really good idea...you can tell them how messed up you are then talk garbage then scare them into bad plays...i know alot of people who do that...and it always work at least once...


dont be hating him cause he knows what hes doing

vodka


by Thats_Game on 2007-03-04 22:11 MDT

trash talking your oppo isnt legal in any way in dci events, could you imagine if he was playing against someone who was 7 or 8 and trash talking to that young kid? It is the same thing with any person!


by ElvishGod on 2007-03-05 16:05 MDT

your a prick, btw... quite full of himself. i only read this to understand rat's article. and i was extremely surprised to find that HIS was the parody off of yours! to be honest, yours was way more cocky than his, and he was supposed to be exaggerating it. its hard to beat it how you did it though


all-in-all... a sub-par article with an overtone of pretentiousness that made it unbearable to read. no one cares if your insecure.


i think people are focusing too much on the drug thing, its more about being a prick.


by tin_cup on 2007-03-06 17:52 MDT

If i hadn't read Rat's article this would be the most wasted time of my life! Pretty @#$^%$#@ useless for a strategy article.
GJ... not!

I have proof that his statement of "Looking good" is a blunt (haha) lie.

I present KEV:

Na, having a tongue ring just shows you care for the girls. my current target really enjoys mehaving my tongue pierced.


by Emotional on 2007-03-14 12:04 MDT

eh, I have my bottom lip pierced in two different areas. and I would freaking shoot myself in the head if I ever demoted myself to getting my tongue pierced. Well, congrades? your the first straight guy I've met to have his tongue pierced.


by prometheus on 2007-03-15 00:11 MDT

Man, if your prep is as extensive for the pt as it was for this ptq, I want to play you first round.

I q'd at roanoke this week.


by Mantis on 2007-03-15 10:20 MDT

Hope you are not stoned enough to get up and go to the PT. By the way, I am from Holland and to be really honest it's mostly the underdeveloped social underclass here that uses a lot of drugs. The only reason that pod is legal here is to keep the social underclass happy, much like the days of the Romans.

Furthermore, from the Drum n Bass parties I've been too the people aren't exactly what I would call 'cool, hip or trendy'.

Combine these and this leads me to believe you are not exactly Mr. Cool either.

Well, I'm sorry and hope I didn't offend you, you might be a nice guy I don't know. Just don't want everyone here to think Dutchies do nothing but smoke weed.


by Tropic on 2007-03-18 13:55 MDT

Wow. You are so arrogant I almost blushed reading your report. SarcasticRat put you in your place, and he was right to do so.

And I hate to get into petty insults here, but you're a skinny little pansy with a big mouth. Your pics made me gag. If you ever trashed me in a match I would fucking find you puffin' in the alley and break you in half.


by Emotional on 2007-03-19 14:19 MDT

Tropic your my new hero...


by Samyueru on 2007-04-02 11:27 MDT

<3 Tropic. Basically everything that needed to be said about this article. And GJ to SarcasticRat for putting this loud-mouthed little asswipe in his place.
