To be honest I feel like most people just wanted a change of people winning the gst for once. On the Mixed side and Idev side alumni has ruled for years. It really does prove their place as a team overall. I used to think alumni idev/7ives idev was utter garbage before realizing that their the only group of delayers that really use their delay to full advantage and it shows. There has been countless all delay teams with great gsers but what other all delay team has won gst even? None if I am mistaken. It used to be very hard for me to admit that Alumni Idev/7ives have true skill, they have an advantage with their delay but win every gst like its a joke tbh... Alumni statistical wise is the best team ever.

Throughout years of obvserving the spar community, I have noticed that the amount of respect that the winner deserves has gone down drastically. I have come to the overall conclusion that the current spar community is full of people who do not know their place. There are countless examples of people who do not comprehend where they stand but recently it has just been pathetic. I am speaking as an individual who witnessed and experienced the reign of (Alumni), which was a three year period of complete dominance over the sparring community. If any person who reads this does not recognize (Alumni) as the best sparring guild ever , then that in itself completely reinforces my argument. The aftermath of (Alumni) includes (7ives) which has completely destroyed every idevice team and backed up their winning habits by winning the mixed GST tournament previous to this one. No, I am not saying to love us, y'all can hate us for all I care, but most of you need to learn what respect truly is & recognize where you stand. I am already ready to hear things like OH YOU WERE A SUB YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING but in all honesty, I don't really care and that is not what this paragraph is written for. This paragraph is to let y'all know that things such as messaging Thallen about being in the wrong "spar tier", making status's about beating (Alumni). These are the things that reinforce our position as being the best because it clarifies how much you value our opinion.

I know from a standpoint in the spar community that Alumni is definitely respected, it might not show as much as it did before. But I hear how people talk about Alumni as a whole. A lot of people are scared to face alumni in brackets in Gst, I myself have even said so. Trust me there is respect, it's just not really in a mutual way as much if that makes sense. People seeing Alumni/7ives as a threat=respect in a different way. It's just hard for most people in the spar community to admit who the more skilled are because sparers are so competitive and that's how it always will be because spar is an competitive activity. Alumni will always be respected, even if Alumni dies, they have ruled this game and will be respected as Uncommon Society is.
