So it became the new pk top leadeboard for sparrers and doesn't actually show skill?

nope
but for the sake of their own ego, a lot of people will tell you that

I wouldn't

And I would guess because there was certain players in the final four that you don?t like personally so that?s why you wouldn?t? The problem with any top (of anything) list is that people can?t make a list without being bias(they let their personal feelings get in the way). Let me prove my point, try giving your top 5 sparrers without including any of your friends, old pc sparrers and without saying anything negative about their spar tactics.

Leader boards don?t show skill, it just shows who has the most of something.

Example, running back A has 2000 yards rushing for the season, running back B has 1000 yards for the season. Who is the better running back?
Running back A?

What if RB A had 500 rush attempts and RB B had 100 rush attempts?

it's that I can name a lot of players who have won the GST who aren't even top 10, top 20 at any given time in sparring
for example, that entire team who won the Mixed tournament this time - not a single one is a top 10 sparrer

being viewed as a "good sparrer" comes with consistency, like no one says "he's a good sparrer" because he beats someone who is really good 2 out of 3 times once, but that's what happens in the GST

in the GST, weird things can happen and you can lose 2 out of 3 times to a team that's not as consistently good as yours just based on a poor situation, strange occurrences like server lag, a player getting warped out of the arena or their connection drops, etc.

winning a GST really proves nothing and should be seen as more of a fun event rather than some actual measure of what guild is the best at sparring
I try to approach sparring pretty competitively, but that's why I can easily sit out of them, approach them casually, not practice and stress over it, etc.

I won't post my list of top 5 sparrers right now because I'm sure it'd hurt someone's feelings, but only 2 in that list would be personal friends of mine
I don't like Kevin at all but he'd be on the list

I guess it just depends on how people define "top sparrers", to me theres room for 20-50 "top sparrers" on a server with 3k players. I wouldnt consider shannon or ihercules top 10 but I would say they were top sparrers.

I agree it doesnt prove much but it gives an idea of the upper tier guilds and some of the top sparrers.

People shouldnt get butt hurt as the list wouldnt contain any of your friends.

thanks pal! it's leaf you made my day and I will recognize you for being a good player

Kosma · 08-24-2014

I know this thread is old but since Graal is down anyway why not.

Top 5? No idea but I'll give ya 5 people who I'm pretty weak against. Doesn't mean they're the best but at least no one'll get upset.

Male
ptjenova (50/50)
Ethereal (50/50)
Dante
Sarah (not recently tho, think she's a lil rusty)

i love sparring, but ya know, the odds arent always in my favor

iChronic · 08-24-2014

i don't know wat the big fuss is about Sarah, she is not that good. I have not beaten her (its not like I would beat any of the good sparrers anyway) but she laggs whenever I watch her. Ok, maybe she doesnt lag eVeRYtImE, but there is a good chance that she lags and delays.

People in the guild Alumni are pretty good. I have not entered the arena for a while so I can not really say if the members of the guild have been active, but I can establish that they r pretty swaggy since they pretty much rape me. Also members of the guild Mother are also pretty consistent with their wins, except for Savant cos he just spars noobs when ppl are not looking (I dont have proof to this but I have seen him lure people into rooms).

I judge these players by their consistency btw. Some players (ppl like me) just get rlly lucky in d arena.

edit;

but the number #1 sparrer of all time has to be me. The title is uncontested... I am just the best at sparring

-Aidan- · 08-24-2014

OT, how do graalians get into the arena, there are no visible doors.. NEW TILES FOR SPAR ARENA OR RIOT

Fire Surge · 08-24-2014

The thing with Sarah is that although she has a very good record and a decent style, she's a predictable player. Everytime she spars she'll use the same tactic. I sparred her and lost the first time. After sparring her once, I can see her tactic and now I can win every match I play against her.
