Am I an Elite?

[coreyander]

Oh yes, most definately. You and don miguel both.

I would consider an elite player is one:
Who plays seriously, fairly, and has fun while doing so - win or loss. (obviously winning can be more enjoyable)
Who is experienced, mature, and knows the idiosyncrasies of the game and leads by example
Who gives 110% towards thier teams objectives while realizing it's still a game for BOTH TEAMS and treats his opponent with respect, deserved or not. (It is not difficult to exhibit both aggression and sportsmanship simultaneously)
Who realizes no matter who the competition is, there is always room to learn and improve their own skill as well helping improve the competitions' skill.

Obviously, some players naturally do better than others, but a good player takes advantage of his/her skill set for the benefit of whole of the team. A poor shooter may be a good scout/communication/strategist/cover fire/etc. No matter how godlike a player may seem, they too will have hot streaks and cold streaks. Remeber, it only take one shot to get out.

-----------------------------------

I personally would not consider myself a "Noob" nor a "1337". I've played on and off for about 10 years. Never played in a serious tourney, and have my fair share of high end guns, and use an old mask from 1995. When I go out, I think of myself just as being there when I play. Pick me or don't, it doesn't matter - I'll still have a good time. More often than not i get more than my fair share of eliminations, sometimes I get none... it happens. However, I don't go out there expecting to rule. There's a fine line between "aggressive" and "arrogant" and I know which one of those players I would rather play with

that was a very thick slice of Sockit2me Cake.Well put

Hey yea! Did anyone see Don Miguel on ESPN2 on Friday? Man he was killing Rocky Knuth and the Dogz. Don Miguel is such a good player omfgzorz. He is teh true ub3r |33t pro star guy. Dude one time I saw him make this ridiculous move when there was a guy at the X on the 50 and Don Miguel flew over the X while doing a barrel roll and forward flip at the same time and he totally poned that noob. Seriously I have it on tape lmk if anyone wants it, I can sell copies.

Do a barrel roll!
