Saint Returning LFT
Been playing since January of 09.
Played competitively from 2010-2011 and 2013-2014. (2011-2013 I was in the pub scene, most known for leading the Veracity clan)
Major tournaments and competitions I've participated in include WOGL, WCG, CGL, ESG, and CFS. There are others I'm sure, but those are some that come to mind.
21 years old
Hybrid (but more of a rifler)
Strat designer and good communicator
YouTube: bldsaint
Honestly I'm not here to claim that I'm some legendary pick up or difference maker. Had my moments, but I spent the peak of my "career" in the clan server and then brought my inflated ego and success into the competitive scene. Went downhill from there due to never dedicating myself to learn more and faded out of playing due to work. Less time played, refusing to listen, and expecting the same/better results was a recipe for disaster. Looking for a more a mature team that perhaps has been around the CF scene for awhile. Would prefer to jump into the fire with a S5 spot, but willing to start as a sub so long as there is opportunity to advance.Now that I have a more solid schedule with available evenings and weekends, I'd like to give CF a honest go and see where it goes. New mindset after a year break and I honestly do miss the environment. Lots of good memories here. Will be rusty, but after a few weeks I honestly believe I could be an asset on the score sheet and as a team player.
Also would appreciate to ring a bit, feel free to message Xentros (new IGN), but I'll probably create a new account to keep for competitive.

Message either me(Heat), Barlu, Fury, or Minda ingame to try out. We currently have four people, and have been looking for a fifth for a couple weeks now. We have some people currently trying out as well, but if you are as good as what you said implies, you should get the spot after we play with you.
We are going to all be on in about 15 minutes from now.
Edit: Our team is teamPolar btw. -

Working a later shift at work today, but I will finish and be home in an hour. If that works great, I'll connect with you guys and if that's too late I'll catch you within the next couple of days. -

Umm maybe by saying he'd be an asset on the scoreboard and as a team player, listing all the events he's participated in, and stating that he's a veteran?Where in his post did he say or imply that he was good?
Why are you barging in as if I was making a false statement, even more, as if it concerns you.
Even if he didn't imply he was good, what's wrong with me getting the impression that he is by reading the post? -
There's still competitive teams in e8, despite lack of tournaments. Also, ESG is still around, and some new tournaments are popping up hosted by players.LastNameRich wrote: »Competitive scene is dead as far as actually being competitive, but there's some pub oriented tournaments running. gl
Interesting
I wouldn't say it's dead.
And let's be real for a second; people have been saying it's dead since the start of CF. Seriously, when has it ever been "alive"? Because even at it's peeks, like when some of the tourneys Saint mentioned were still around, people would still say it was "dead".
It's really lost its meaning at this point. -
I log in and post from time to time, I quit the game about 2 years ago and haven't played since but old habits are old habits and I tend to check out the forums every now and then.Long time no see. What are you up to these days? Still lighting it up do you just lurk the forums like half of the old players here.
Not insulting or referring to OP, but as an example, someone who has played from 09 but has achieved nothing is not a veteran, it is a glorified pubstar. I participated in most of the tournaments and leagues he participated as well, but the main difference being I won several of those events and also placed in almost every tournament I participated in. The fact that you think participating in several tournaments alone is enough to be considered a good player emphasises how little you actually know about how to succeed in this game.Umm maybe by saying he'd be an asset on the scoreboard and as a team player, listing all the events he's participated in, and stating that he's a veteran?

Who is this lion guy lmao, you need to stop being so toxic honestly. Like you have no point you're getting sht on in this agruement just sdfu lmao. "I quit the game 2 years ago" then why are you on forums casually insulting people, you obviously have nothing better to do. This is why people don't wanna come play due to children such as yourself. He's an old player who wants to play again leave it as that nothing else needs to be said, so kindly stop replying to this thread and go away, Thanks.

Thanks Micheal, see your running a league now eh?We all got off, sorry man. We'll be online tomorrow, so if the times work out, we'd love to have you try out then.
Thanks for the response.
(We're all online almost every day)
Sounds good, sorry I didn't get on till 1am. Some friends called up for some N64 and I cant say no to that haha.There's still competitive teams in e8, despite lack of tournaments. Also, ESG is still around, and some new tournaments are popping up hosted by players.

Actually this couldn't be any truer. Players have been saying this game has been dead for a long time, but the same people are still around.
Also, what Lion is saying isnt necessarily wrong, but it isnt 100% either. My final run in 13-14 I was phasing out of CF and had a terrible attitude towards the game. I didnt even play in over 50% of the matches on teams I was on, because of working a job where my schedule was all over the map. Stating that I never placed well in tournaments isnt wrong, but it isnt like I was in that many either despite me being on the S5 roster.
Overall though I always held my own and I am experienced with maps, situations, and strats. Performed in scrims against Catbon and Socks, however I let my drive for a personal score triumph over a team win. I know this is a video against a team that isn't necessarily strong, but I think it shows that I can be more than a strat caller. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUn0PZRZ7K4 -
You took one simple opinionated statement and felt that you had to reply to it on a thread that didn't involve you whatsoever, and explain that one thing I said was such a definitive statement, that I believe it so much, that you needed to explain to me why I must agree with you. Who....cares?I log in and post from time to time, I quit the game about 2 years ago and haven't played since but old habits are old habits and I tend to check out the forums every now and then.

ESG is not around and hasn't been for numerous months
It's dead
Our version is dead and certainly more dead than it's ever been; the only people who think otherwise are simply oblivious and ignorant
Lol.
(Look it up) -
I couldn't find your ign ingame btw, so msg one of the IGN's i listed ingame once you get on.Thanks Micheal, see your running a league now eh?

I will for sure do that. Sorry with the timing, normally work 11-7pm (mountain time) on Friday, but a guy in my department is leaving early for a hockey game so as the manager I'm required to stay until the store closes (9pm). All my other days are 9-5pm. Wont get on till later, but I will be on a good chunk on Saturday!LastNameRich wrote: »Lol.
Well, have fun playing with the other 10 people who still play
Thanks

Not surprised you don't know me, I was being one of the best this game had to offer when you were in middle school popping the zits off your face. Look at the number of posts I've had over the last 2 years, it's less than 20. Yeah man, people don't want to play the game because of people like me who are realistic in a forum filled with delusional twats such as yourself. The only person in this argument who has nothing better to do is you seeing as you're the one who still plays this game, so either you're completely and utterly socially incompetent and feel the need to play crossfire with your geek squad that you call friends or you're delusional thinking that playing this game will get you somewhere in 2016, but my conclusion is that it's a combination of both.Who is this lion guy lmao, you need to stop being so toxic honestly.

20 posts in 2 years and 3 of them are here, plus I'm pretty sure you responded at least once to the thread were Doop, Suko, and I were trashing each other (pretty sure that was one of my last threads). That means 25% of your posts have involved me one way or another. Awe, I didn't realize how much I meant to you. -
Sorry for the bump, getting the vibe that there isn't much going on right now. Is there going to be a CFS 2016 for NA or anything that will bring out more teams and potentially old players...Or am I a dinosaur the emerged from the cave to find out all the other dinosaurs got in a spaceship and journeyed to another planet?

Yeah CFS is yearly, it'll start getting a bit more active March-Aprilish since WCA Qualifiers should start up. -

As for wca, who knows. Domestically it was a complete joke, and ~9 months later nobody from any version has been paid yet from what I've read
It hasn't been 9 months lol... -

Thanks for the info, I will continue to lurk until then. I wouldn't plan on staying, but if you'd have me I wouldn't mind joining your clan for some clan wars and scrims. Shake off some rust, pass on some pointers, and maybe even I can learn some things ha. You were a pretty chill guy and your integrity (not DQing other team on lame stuff) was quite admirable. Respect that.

WCA affiliated with anyone or sponsored by any major names? -

Yeah bro I'd love for you to join, and yeah I didn't wanna dq them for something stupid, but they would've dq'd us without a thought lol. -

It's far better to lose honestly than to win by lying. Eventually the truth is exposed and the real champions are revealed (look at the Olympics and Armstrong lol). Something I wish more people understood...
By the way this will be my "official" and competitive account. Xentros will serve as my pubbing and experimenting account (just like I had Saint and Invictus). IGN to be determined after I go to Deadpool with my buddies tonight.
