After 1147 Ranked Rounds and about 14 months it happened, I hit TL
I wanted to take that opportunity to thank all the very kind and generous people in the forums and in game.
From about amateur tier on I would come to these forums and seek advice with how to play equipment, etc and there were and are a lot of people who are very helpful and insightful, as well as generous. I also received gifts of equipment and balls via kind people here in the forums that helped me stay competitive and get better at this game. I never thought I would hit TL, didn't seem a possibility, but because of people here I was able to and hope to do the same for others
Want to personally thank fmagnets as well. His generosity was unparalleled with both his knowledge and time. He spent countless games kicking my tail but teaching me how to be better and what to focus on.
Point being is I sucked, even a up to about 6 months ago, but if you use this forums, are real and genuine and put the time in I guess it is possible.
Thanks Everyone, see you out there
