MM8BDM Discussion / Re: Great Players

Since everyone is doing it, here is my top five, as well as an explanation as to why:
1) Rawk Hawk: I do have to justify this, given who is in the 2) spot. He's the last duel tourney winner, and he won the possession tournament. If we're judging this by tournaments, he's clearly No. 1. Lately, though, I've been playing him pretty closely (10:8 loss in Tailsmk4's duel league), so I don't think he's leagues beyond the other players in this list. Still the best player on the servers today.
2) Kombat Kitten (SoniaNature?): It seems like whenever I try to pet the nice kitten, she(?) shows me her retractable claws. End result: I need stitches for all the claw marks I get. I don't know if anyone can dominate a duel like she can, and I'm pretty sure on her best day she could easily defeat Rawk.
3) Orange Juice: Extremely malleable and balanced, he can change his tactics to take advantage of a given situation. There are only a few maps where he isn't so strong, and this balance makes him a difficult opponent.
4) Lonewolf: Even without his "full canceling powers", he's still a dangerous opponent who can choose the right weapon in nearly any given situation. His only problem is he isn't quite as balanced as OJ is, and has trouble with a greater number of maps than OJ does. Given the right map though, he can beat anyone.
5) CutmanMike: It seems like whenever I play him, it's always a one frag difference between the two of us. The end result is I look forward to playing him because all the duels we have are exciting. While not the most skilled opponent, he might be the most balanced, and can win on nearly any map.
Also on the top 5 radar (in no particular order): SaviorSword, Tornado, Celebi, rTist, Kapus, BlueBrawl, FireStorm, Jack Corvus, Muzaru, Korby, -RanRan, and Yellow Devil.
It'd be interesting to see who really is the best by having a league with all of these folks; it'd produce some memorable games to be sure. Too bad I doubt everyone on this list would be interested.
Of course, I typically end all debate by proclaiming myself on the servers to be the greatest mm8bdm player of all time, even if it is just for the lolz.
