splice, i like you and all, but your opinions on skill level are just frustrating sometimes.
you're really good, but zxv and shaya above me would be quite irritating. comparing me to apollo/jei is also a little demeaning. no offense to apollo or jei, but A) I've never lost to apollo and B) with your list, i dont see jei CONSISTENTLY beating two people in your 'a' tier. There's a reason why I get consistent 2nds in NSW, zxv and shaya being better than me isnt that reason.
And splice, you've never really proven yourself with results outside of state tournaments either. I know you beat earl from time to time, even go fairly even with him. but those results come from having more chances to play against earl without the threat of attila or tibs in the same tournament often enough.
I really do not see SA having even 1 player in a top 10 Australian ranking. Where was apollo at reloaded? 13th. just outside the top 10. I've never lost to him either. I won't speak any more about jei though, because my first hand with him really isn't reliable but his results arent as consistently high as the rest. (as in he pulls 2nds/3rds here [usually while tibs/attila arent in attendace] and there but more commonly pulls 4-7's from what I've seen)
I tihnk putting you in the same tier as earl would be hasty, and if you want to be in the same tier as earl so much, I'd move earl down before moving you up. And jaice, as i said, has proven himself in one tournament with a high skill level, so just like any normal PR, putting him so high so fast is sketchy until theres more evidence.
it'd look stupid to have me above shaya and zxv in our state rankings but be lower than them in australian rankings. i mean really splice. I beat jaice in a MM too. MM's....arent as relevant.
but basically, and im not being *****y, my honest opinion splice is that your judgement of peoples skill is unreliable.
