My first thought is terrible editing:

On the other hand, Lux there are no actual games for Lux to play in the minor leagues and one has to wonder how one can truly get their swing right while taking BP and playing low-powered intrasquad games at best.

That’s excellent! I forgot the game it was originally from, but we used it in Starcraft all the time.

Oh man, Starcraft, I loved that game. I loved all the RTS games of that era. It seems that genre sort of died out, though, or at least they have gotten so complex I can't enjoy them.

Yeah, I wasn't a fan of Starcraft II, but my online playing days had died before that. The Dane was gracious enough to give me a couple of hints early in my playing days years ago that really helped me out, and I was active for a few years. I'll occasionally check out the Twitch channel, and am awed at how good the players are now.

Yeah, for nostalgia's sake, I got SC II, but online play was impossible. I couldn't beat anyone, at any level, under any conditions .

Oh man, did I love Starcraft. It was the first game where I could sniff global rankings and beat most everyone I knew. Warcraft III was sort of the end of my PC powergaming. I realized I would just never have the click speed of the younguns and when I faced one of them that was actually smart and understood the game, I'd get manhandled. So, now it's Switch and mobile games like some punk.

The curve for online play in SC2 is very steep. Once you figure it out, the curve levels nicely and you can find good matchups pretty easily, but that's many many hours of frustration you have to get through. I worked my ass off, got to top-25 in 2v2 play and then hung up my stim packs for good.

Well, I always remember and appreciate the help you gave me when I was a noob. Like you, I gave up when I realized age and treachery would not overcome youth and speed.

Warcraft III may have been my favorite. Blizzard was the bomb back in the day. I loved WC III, because it was a rts, but you got to have hero units. It was awesome. And the graphics for the time were fantastic. I wasn't any good at it either, though. But it was fun, for both games, to play the max AIs on hard and then cheat the hell out of the game with massive amounts of early funds to see if I could build up stuff enough to survive the endless AI onslaught.

Someone offered me a package for Lux this morning that was too good to refuse. Realmuto $33 + Arenado $49 + S. Marte $46 for Lux (farm) + R. Wick $2. It was a league I likely planned to dump, but I figure if my new studs underperform I'll have 3 fun trade assets to re-coup some of the future value of Lux.

I think they thought this was the only time Lux could be had, so they might as well go for it. Fair enough... if he waited 2 weeks, I would've been dumping and Lux would be off the trade block.

Wow...that's a ton of value for Lux and Wick. Nice get.
