Hi, I've been getting better recently, and I've had some good games. I just want to know whether people think It's my skill, alot of luck, or a combo of both. These are 3 of some games that have gone my way, but feel free to see all the other games I've played, and maybe screwed up lol.
Btw, i'm new to the forums ^.^


I'd LOVE some feedback people, please!

It's pretty hard to say whether it's skill or luck because you play so many custom games...

From what I'm seeing, you appear to be good at killing, but you need to work on not dying as much. You tend to die more than you kill. Other than that, not too bad...

remember that bumping your own thread is against forum rules... but if i am ever accused of being lucky i always quote Micheal Jordan,"Luck is where skill meets opportunity." Like getting a cross stage sticky grenade to work...sort of lucky but some wouldn't even try to pull one off.

I think you just like to see yourself post.

You are the only one that will be able to decide if your just getting lucky with the happy end of the BR.
