*claps* an ok list.
Just some of my opinions, for what it's worth:
. I agree with the top 10 for the most part. I'm on the fence about the Isai at 0 thing, I don't see why we couldn't just take Narf out and have a solid 20. But then again, Isai's spot is pretty much set in stone which is a good way to demonstrate.
. Due to King's inactivity lately, I agree with the move of him and Jeff swapping spots. Jeff is the most consistant player Norcal has and deserves his spot at 2nd until King comes back at full force and proves otherwise, or anyone else for that matter.
. I'm extremely happy Sir Bob Dollars got the recognition he deserves as one of Norcal's most valuable asets with the moving of him from 8th, to 3rd.
. I'm happy with my spot at 5th for now, I just have to step up my game and train my Falco harder this time around.
. I think Lunin and Tang are right where they should be. Lunin hasn't been playing his best lately, but he hasn't shown any major patterns of inconsistancy enough to drop him lower, and Mitchell won the last bi-weekly but hasn't had enough time to prove himself consistant enough to be placed higher.
. Falcomist and Zelgadis is where it gets tricky. Both sides of this can be argued for who gets what spot, 7th and 8th. It's hard for me to decide because I play both of them quite often and know both of their capabilities and full potential. Both usually place near eachother, both have beaten eachother in tournament, and both have lately beaten a lot of the same players (me being one). If I had to choose, I would go with Falcomist as well. I'm not saying he's better than Zelgadis or vise versa but Justin is a lot more active, going to a lot more Norcal tournmants than just SJ ones so it's easier to judge by his consistancy. He's also Norcal's best up-and-comer and most improved player, you can tell he's hungry and takes this game very seriously and hates losing. As far as potential goes though, I'm sure if Trebor played to his full gay Fox potential like he does in some friendlies when he's really serious and plays like that in tournament, I'm sure he'd be top 4 easy. He also has a lot more experience and has adapted to different styles and playing well against new opponents over the years. I knew the ranking were going to come out after this last tournament, I gave him a lot of sh** for not entering singles, but that's his own problem. Time to step it up Trebor. I don't know, flip your coin.
. Thank the lord Jesus, I told you guys that Hella Nick deserved to be higher than 12th. I'm more happy about Nick being 9th than Bob$ being 3rd. He's been busting his a** training his Peach and he's only going to get better. I do have some news though, Hella Nick is no longer playing Peach, oh yes my friends, he has switched his main from Peach..........to Daisy, the best Daisy(only Daisy) in the world.
. I think DC is perfect where he is. He did very well at this last bi-weekly, he just needs some time to adapt to Norcal's fast and agressive fast fallers and he'll do just fine. I'm sure his Socal history helped a lot as well.
. That whole thing I spluged about Falcomist and Trebor can also be said for BTZO and Sheridan, I personally haven't played either enough times to judge who is "better" or has more potential. Both have their good match-ups and bad ones.
. From 13th and on is where this list gets really twisted and fu**ed up and I have a lot to say about it so I'm going to go to bed and post sometime tomorrow.
PS. I've thought about it and I was wondering If there's any spots open for a new panelist. I've played virtually everyone in Norcal and I'm a scary judge of talent.
. I'm going to miss all the controversy now with the new system and 20 instead of 25.
