mmm, I always thought that the whole LaF being full of bloated egos was always a little overblown. There've always been a few huge personalities that do a lot of talking. But most of LaF are actually pretty chill cats. Combine that with the fact that many of us have been playing for 15+ years and are now in our thirties and it's even more quiet then it used to be.

regarding the best player ever: there are probably a dozen or so people who know all the numbers and could be the best. The best I've seen in my time in LaF have been xin and hao2(7-8 years? I can't remember if DSG or SS was the don back then). But I'm barely active nowadays and I think en4 and ensh have been dominating all netting for what? a year now?

regarding this sets finish. tarnava, you'll finish very well. i don't think you realize how steep the skill dropoff is nowadays. somewhere between a quarter and a third of the people you think are gonna finish t20 will butcher their destocks and finish nowhere close.
