Pro yugioh players Tantrum throwing Jerks or Cool ppl who make the game fun???

[$pAceBoY-k]

I was at my local sunday and I was doing pretty good I went (4-1) in the swiss format. But anyway I get to the top 8 and get swept by a gigaplant OTK which I had just swept the round before and this pro walks up and says "Can I take a look at your deck?" I say sure and hand it to him he's looking through and say "And your only loss came to the guy playing macro?" I say "Yeah its doing pretty good for me." and he goes "How'd you go Top 8 with this crap!" " Its so sad to see 3 ultimate allures wasted in a Spellcaster deck." (my deck is like dark return using spellcasters) So anyway earlier in the tourney I played his "pro" friend who was playing Dark return and swept him 2-0 ((the second duel I summoned armageddon reborn DMoC reborn his jinzo attack all then magical dimension summon DMG attack for game on my second turn)) . He screams "This is BULL****!!!!" and slams his fist on the table.. Anyway to the point why are most Yugioh pros jerks??? I might be mistaken but most that I have met are that way....i mean I call ppl n00bs but I usually do it when they make a good play that screws me...So what are your expirience with pros??? Were they jerk elitist or ppl you could talk to....and if you beat them did they make a scene? Discuss

[mikes.here]

from my brief experience with them, at sjc san mateo

jerry wang is great, and im so happy for him winning at colombus.

[Kunx990]

I had a trantrum when I saw 7 COLORED FING FISH!

[gino_gallizzi]

well no they just take the game very serious. Im not a pro but i get mad if i loose but if im mad i dont scream i just keep it to myself. I would also offer a handshake after the game no matter what because i give that person props for beating me.

[$pAceBoY-k]

In the great words of the pro player "That Is Bull****!!!!" You know you ran that **** back in the day with la jinn and Neo the magic swordsman...

[Spyhunter_forever]

I say u got lucky and managed to get a good opening hand. but its good to see that u won.

most pro ygo players loses their cool or have a very big ego when they get beaten by decks that doesnt have name for themselves. yea i agree that those people are jerks and even more when he swore when there're kids playing and parents watching them.

I didn't get lucky I beat him in 4 turns the duel before just cause my deck isn't CC doesn't mean I got lucky....Well its kinda CC its just Dark return with different monsters.....So yeah... I mean my only loss came because the guy cheated and shuffled his S/T traps up when I targeted his mirror force with snipe And I picked the wrong card I had game on the field....so that was just bad luck..

No that damn Fish inthe Gold Series

I know what your talkin about homie and the gold commons are BS there's only 3 cards I want prometheus,CCV,DMoC

[mikes.here]

those are the 3 cards ppl want... also maybe grandmaster

[stringsbatman]

well im a local pro and i always try to help players not bash them

[DDRaddict123]

I would be mad too if you lucksacked me. =/

[stringsbatman]

but hey adam corn.complete doosh bag!

[$pAceBoY-k]

Same here unless they're 6 and up n00bs that are on an ego trip...then I pwn 'em

Additional Comment:

Lucksack...good one he couldve easily just got the same hand as me and beat me in 2 turns, but would that be a lucksack? No because he's a pro and I'm supposed to be a n00b....there is no double standard. He got pwned had a tantrum and that's it .

[stringsbatman]

Pros like that are just sad and demeaning to the title. The one's that act in that way are not pros. They are just concieted and ego-maniacal.

[Marquis_J]

who are these pros u speak of

[$pAceBoY-k]

but hey adam corn.complete doosh bag!

What does adam corn act like??? I've always wanted to talk to Scurry because of the labounty video he seems to be a alright dude.

Additional Comment:

who are these pros u speak of

I don't know their names they came in as a group and were talking **** about how many top 8's and top 16's they had a regionals and shonens..

[Eywind]

Please let me know where I can play this game professionally. I'd love to quit going to school and just devote my life to playing children's card games.

Please don't use the word 'Pro'. It's just silly.

In regards to the situation, though:

I'd probably be pretty mad if someone was running a deck more situational than my own but still both based around OTKing and beat me.

[stringsbatman]

corn went nuts on my buddy for 2-0ing him than threw water all over his mat/cards

[Cranium X]

I played against some good ones in Columbus this last weekend, and some awful ones too. They come in two flavors. "Really Swell" and "Elitist Jerk." I'm not sure there's any middle ground.

It amused me to no end though when I side decked my Hero's Rule 2's and Divine Wraths against his DAD-Return deck and he called it "sacking" when I countered his Monster Reborn with Hero's Rule 2, and then proceeded to get angry about losing to a "trash" deck.

Seems to me that a lot of "pros" feel if you're not playing THE meta deck, you're no good at all. At least I can say there were some others that were quite pleasant to talk to and duel against, and actually enjoyed a surprising deck they weren't prepared for.

ADD* Net deckers are not pros

No reason to get mad the only situational card I run is Magical dimension otherwise I could switch out 7 cards and make it a DAD return.....

[Animosity]

I would have Killed Him . If they dont want to lose they shouldnt play . If they dont want to die they shouldnt ruin my stuff . Did your buddy get The TO ? What happened to corn ?

[Doc_Holidai]

IMO, you didn't lucksac, you just had the shizznit hand and rocked him, it's as simple as that. With the pro isssue, when i went to Jump Chicago they were all cool MoFo's. Shane Scurry is my hero so meeting him and actually seeing that he is at first shy like me was some s@@@. Not to mention but I got to get my mat signed by everybody.
"Pros" who act like that(and i know a few) are childish and don't deserve the title. In their eyes and feebil lil minds they suppose to be on top of the world and no one is suppose to beat them with what they fill is inferior to their $2,000 deck.
By the way, Paul levitan got knocked in the balls during the jump by some kid. Although, I think Paul knew him, the kid walked up trying to start a conversation and next thing you know Paul's bent over the table, lol.

[Eywind]

Yeah, but cards like Dimension and DMG or whatever else you run to make it a Spellcaster deck makes it more situational.

Hey, I am not really saying anything; I don't think people should be really pissed off when they lose to another deck any more than they lose in a mirror match. I just know I get POed any time I lose when it's an OTK in general, so..

[D.D. Knight]

I saw Adam Corn crying cause he lost..no joke

[$pAceBoY-k]

corn went nuts on my buddy for 2-0ing him than threw water all over his mat/cards

What a n00b that should be in my "funniest thing you've ever seen" thread.Put that in there please...

[KenjiTakata]

I hate the c0cky ones that be like "Oh yeah, (your deck type here) is sooo trash you know?"

Then, they get beaten by your deck, and they are all like "I let you win lololololololololool i could have did this and that hehe".

[stringsbatman]

my buddy smiled at him and told him to change his diaper and let the grown-ups play

I agree especially with the "deck" part....notice how ppl in this calling me a "luck sacker" because its not a CC deck..had it been the other way around and he beat me it wouldn't of been a "lucksack" situation.

[Animosity]

my buddy smiled at him and told him to change his diaper and let the grown-ups play

He should have beat his ass . I know in magic events if someone spilled water on someone elses stuff they have to replace all the damaged cards. It just dumb to ruin someone elses stuff because your a sore sport.

[stringsbatman]

he didnt realy ruin anything important. it was a mostly super/ common deck

[$pAceBoY-k]

he didnt realy ruin anything important. it was a mostly super/ common deck

what kind of deck was it I'm just curious?

[stringsbatman]

budget monarch

[The_Dark_Monarch]

Whilst I believe there are no "pros" in Yugioh, a lot of people who take this game way too seriously can be arrogant morons, with little to no respect for their fellow duelist.
Instead of dissing out on others & their decks, they should be ignoring them & minding their own business, or else just dueling them to prove their point without saying a word.

[Zombie Venom]

hence why I dont like going to locals, or even big events too much. It's gotten that bad that trying to have fun has dwindled down to just goin trying to sell/trade and leaving.

Its always Netdeckers and CC users who talk the trash and act as if they're "Pro". sorry people but imma say some truth here...There is no such thing as "PRO" at all in this game, if you have to netdeck then you dont know how to build a deck to save your life. If you feel the need to talk crap about some one elses deck just to make yourself feel better then you are so pathetic that it makes laugh and point at you.

People I run a dragon deck...no this dragon deck doesnt have cyber dragons, monarchs, and the like. My deck does have 2 sets of Horus, 3 Mirage, 3 Exploders so on so on, but I dont rely on them.

Netdeckers who get caught among my Horus/Mirage lockdowns often make snide remarks bout me having to rely on it, which I intern reply to them: "Ya but atleast I dont netdeck, get a life loser" now do I win all the time? no I dont but then again winning and losing has no priority to me trying to have fun does.

[Lazerball]

personally i think unless u have made a name for youself in a jump u are not pro, u are a wanna be. there are so many people like that around here, and its stupid. there is never a reason to get mad when u lose, even if u do get sacked, it happens, people do it cause it just happens, its not fair to call someone a sack, **** happens, they arent controlling it, they just got lucky one time in one game. i dont put up with the crap when it happens, i woulda rubbed it in, big time. and hey dont be hating on Adam Corn, hes amazing, a nice guy, and u would be lucky to lick the national champs feet.

you encountered somebody who thinks they are a pro player.

[nirvana1987]

I dont want to name names but i had a run in with a "so called pro" at sjc san mateo...at the start he wished me luck, but at the end of the match after losing he was a complete ass. I've seen him at regionals and hes always like that...whenever he loses he throws a tantrum.

[G a R 0 n]

I don't know their names they came in as a group and were talking **** about how many top 8's and top 16's they had a regionals and shonens..

No one in the tidewater area of Va. has a jump day 2, and I can only count on 1 hand those who have reg t8's, so they were probably lying, and I wouldn't pay them any mind at all.

Haha.

Neways, a few months ago, at my local, while i was playing my cloudian/fenrir deck against a "pro", i did very well. Thanks to a godly hand, I discarded his Cyber D with Aoi, killed his Malicious with Fenrir etc... The guy was constantly listening to his walkman from the very beginning of duel 1 to the end of duel 2, he didn't even try to listen what i was telling him to explain my card effects etc...

When he lost (0-2), finally, he started swearing at me, saying things like "how can you beat me with your bull**** deck ?! my cards are better than yours !".

Well it made me laugh, cause i rocked with my "bull**** cloudian deck" :D

[SSj2TeenGohan184]

I dont care about people at all, just prizes. I rarely even talk to people at tournies.

[IlBlud]

lol

I dunno. While I most certainly believe you, it's hard to imagine Adam doing something like that.

Oh yeah, and most "pros" at this game are a joke. Personally, I try to play myself off as someone who has no skill, especially at tournaments. Works well until I start sitting at the top tables.

[luckyspell]

There's those points where you just want to get up and quit, even though you're doing well.

It's like, "right, I'm doing good in this tournament, but I'm not having any fun because everyone is a ********".

[claud]

WOW !!! ADAM CORN crying ??? I would seriously pay to see that ...

[$pAceBoY-k]

how can he be pro if he sais that dumb stuff. There is no such thing as pro on a random tournament and running totaly unoriginal gigaplant OTK

The guy i was playing with the giga plant deck was cool...we shared a few jokes like he was talking to his friend about how rare cydra>holo cydra and i go "yeah because he's black." (im black) and they started laughing...i wasnt playin the "pro" that round i played him my third match.

Haha.

Hah, I know Sam Gomez and Adam Bettiol. Sam has an ego bigger than Texas (but he's a great player nonetheless, and I haven't seen him make an ass of himself yet), and Adam is pretty cool. He'd have had a Top16 by now if he was able to go to more SJC's.

I haven't had many encounters with arrogant jerks, since most of my dueling career was in a smaller local with a lot of friendly familiars. But man do I want to slap some of those egotistical *******s across the face sometimes! I simply have no tolerance for the level of dis-respect they show everyone.

[Yellow]

It's really weird, no one I know sounds like anyone you lot mentioned, alll the people in the tournament I'm from are just tidy people, if a bit sexuallly minded.... It's kinda creepy....

[TeamCerberus]

Last year, i was at a reg's in Delware dueling brian Long.. I ended up beating him 2-1 with my burner deck. but was a close last duel. After the duel he got up and said "**** you. You scrub player". Tho iv meet some real nice ones.. Its pretty much a hit or miss.

At which point I would have said, "Have a nice day," and walked off.

Then again, people tend to leave me alone, at least when it comes to insulting me. I'm kind of intimidating.

[JByrd]

I've had my run in with a few players who had to throw a few words at me when they lost. No matter if the player is an @$$ or not I always tell them good game. Sure it irritates me at times to the point that I would like to beat some sense into them, but its not worth it. Now in the sense of Adam Corn and throwing water on my cards and w/e, idk if thats completely true but if i'm running a 300-500$ deck or more and somebody does that to my cards or property, 2 things will happen:
A. You replace 300-500$ of the property you destroyed.
B. I do 300-500$ worth of medical damage to you personally, and i'll feel its been an even trade and i'll hope for a positive itrader remark on my profile.

[Volkamar]

I don't consider myself much of a pro but I like to think I know my stuff. I will say its kind of two-way, either the guys you meet are fantastic people you'd want to duel all night with, or they are the arrogant morons who believe nothing else but the best works and anything else that beats them is luck based. However I will say this, it's not just those morons that lose thier cool. Everyone can lose thier cool sometimes playing this game for different reasons, either a play, or a run of bad luck or just a series of unfortunate events relating to that. It's happened to me a couple of times but that was online (yeah lousy excuse I know), but for the most part i'm very cool headed and when around fellow duelists I don't care if I win, lose or just watch. It's all fun to me.

One things for sure if I ever saw that Corn bloke i'd be the one to let him taste some "Lemon Milk" with his bowl of cerial. :P

icwutudidthar

Seems like everyone agrees.

[sideways-honk]

i read the opening post about winning with the dark magician girl. i think that the guy might have been angry that you were able to special summon three times in one turn and accumulate 8000 atk points in one battle phase. both of those things are kind of hard to have happen and the not be able to respond, like having LV or DAD in hand when you loose. its frustrating to lose, especially under unlikely circumstances.

[MidKnightLT]

This "better deck" and "more situational" argument just really shows that YGO doesn't depend that much on HOW people play the cards, but rather WHAT cards they use.Therefore the skill in game isn't THAT important, because most players have reached a high enough level to play with best decks without mistakes.

You can surely get good reads on opponent's cards if you're skillfull, but you still won't win if you don't run staple cards and most powerful and consistent strategies / decks available...

But at the same time SJCshows that most players top8 ocasionally, which proves their skill.It's just that game shouldn't be that much about whining whoever has more consistent deck, but more on HOW you use a deck...

:rolleyes:

[anblader001]

I miss the scrub challange, I wonder why they stopped.

[Christian]

Because they live with their moms and wont ever leave the basment. The only person I have respect for are those who have come close to being champions and still have a level head. To me, that is a pro.

I will admit i have walked out of tourneys sometimes cause i just had horrible luck all day and was fustrated. but i go back and appologize. Can you imagine someone coming back from 300LP to win when you had dominence the entire game.

I will admit i have walked out of tourneys sometimes cause i just had horrible luck all day and was fustrated. but i go back and appologize. Can you imagine someone coming back from 300LP to win when you had dominence the entire game.

haha. At a locals tag team tourney i and my partner came back with 225 lp. Our opponents had 7000. They had no defense cause of our survivors and a solemned mobius, and we attacked and they mirror forced. we had 450 and rturned 2 Thestys, 2 survivors and jinzo. I believe that's what happened.

But anyways, i have some self-proclaimed "pros" at my locals. they think that they're so good. One of them ran Ben-Kai and i 2-0'ed him with phoenix. He got pissed and said you were lucky i would have drawn such and such. I said "but you didn't. Then this other guy wants all of your stuff from you and when you tell hime what you want, he says no. Like he wanted my 1st mint DMoC and my ULT 1st Goldd. I told him i wanted his heavy storm(was a noob at the time, and i wanted it because it looked cool) And was like no thats ripping me off. Yeah he wins a lot because he and a whole bunch of other people share cards, but that doesn't give him the right to be ****y, arrogant, and downright annoying. Why just the other day he tryed to rip my cuz saying that a Supe Kycoo was worth more that a super Cyber valley

My opponent had 500 lp, an empty field, 2 cards in hand for 2 turns. I had 3 cards in hand. Let me just say i lost...very...painfully....

Some people can be real bum plugs, but we can see them in all forms of life.

The person i played was tidy though...and half asleep...

[cuzwbd]

i'm a professional yugioh player

really? ;) thats interesting... who or what company pays you to go to tournaments and duel? and how much do you get per tournament? is it a sliding scale determined by difficulty of tournament and what place you finished?:rolleyes: or has caesars palace finally started the $$$ yugimanz tourneys....5k to enter and it takes a week to sort thru 10,000 players to the final table.... will you be on espn like the poker guys?

[Skandranon]

its not just yu-gi-oh pros but other card games to, it takes alot for me to get pissed off and theres only 2 people i've ever wanted to beat up and both were MTG top 8 players (you could tell cause they put their top 8 pins on their playing mats). when i finally get up there in the rankings i'll keep my head and refrain from turning into a jerk

[stringsbatman]

Cuz-well i work for a store as a promoter/cardscout. i guess im a local pro. so i do suppose you can be a profesional player. plus anyone who is ude certified i guess would be a proffesional.

I say "Yeah its doing pretty good for me." and he goes "How'd you go Top 8 with this crap!" " Its so sad to see 3 ultimate allures wasted in a Spellcaster deck." (my deck is like dark return using spellcasters) So anyway earlier in the tourney I played his "pro" friend who was playing Dark return and swept him 2-0 ((the second duel I summoned armageddon reborn DMoC reborn his jinzo attack all then magical dimension summon DMG attack for game on my second turn)) . He screams "This is BULL****!!!!" and slams his fist on the table.. Anyway to the point why are most Yugioh pros jerks??? I might be mistaken but most that I have met are that way....i mean I call ppl n00bs but I usually do it when they make a good play that screws me...So what are your expirience with pros??? Were they jerk elitist or ppl you could talk to....and if you beat them did they make a scene? Discuss


First, Atem are you in Norfolk America or Norfolk England?

Second, yeah it does seem that way, though they are not all that bad. Some of the ones I have met have been nice people, though they do seem few and far between.

[xXScuttleRXx]

from my brief experience with them, at sjc san mateo

jerry wang is great, and im so happy for him winning at colombus.

yeah this guy is nice and not mean (unlike some pros ive met)
he actually plays at my local and i beat him all the time though

i am glad he won columbus too although he is gonna use his sjc winnings against me

[The Last Medjai]

I know a guy that got banned from several stores for swearing up a storm. He's a cool guy, but if he thinks someone is trying to get over on him, he freaks out. This guy is 36 and almost came to blows with a 16 year old kid.

that would have been funny as hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Giezus]

I've never come across a bitter pro player, but I don't really play big tournaments.

Plus, I don't really view people who get really bitter about a loss to be pro. I view them as people who are mad that they spent a lot of money on a deck that won someone else a tournament, just to have a deck they've never seen kick them around (just my opinion, though)

I have seen one egotistical player running a Monarch/PWWB deck that he modified. Shortly after PTDN was released, we were in a tournement and he was against my friend (who was running Dark World). He tried to say that "Fine" didn't work with DW under the reasoning that "It's called Fine because it's a cost." His ignorance was later shown when he used Drop Off, after knowing he was against DW, and hit Reign-Beaux.

[ApocalypseNow25]

I was at my local sunday and I was doing pretty good I went (4-1) in the swiss format. But anyway I get to the top 8 and get swept by a gigaplant OTK which I had just swept the round before and this pro walks up and says "Can I take a look at your deck?" I say sure and hand it to him he's looking through and say "And your only loss came to the guy playing macro?" I say "Yeah its doing pretty good for me." and he goes "How'd you go Top 8 with this crap!" " Its so sad to see 3 ultimate allures wasted in a Spellcaster deck." (my deck is like dark return using spellcasters) So anyway earlier in the tourney I played his "pro" friend who was playing Dark return and swept him 2-0 ((the second duel I summoned armageddon reborn DMoC reborn his jinzo attack all then magical dimension summon DMG attack for game on my second turn)) .

Well I have had my experiences in dealing with players temper tantrums, where was the judge in all this.

[Marquis_J]

i get between 3 to 8 hundred playing a month and 200 at least at a regional 300 at jumps i'm pretty good only 14

[TrippingBillies]

i'm a professional yugioh player

Admitting you have a problem is the first step towards recovery. :)


I think the pro players I've met aren't really any more or less mature than any other player. Anyone who is at the top of their field is going to toss humility aside, to some degree. I imagine losing to someone "they don't know" would be the greatest of afronts to their self-image. Essentially a thought of "I can't lose to this person, they're nobody".

Competitiveness can't be forgotten either.

I think every Yu-Gi-Oh! player, in one way or another, thinks they are the greatest player in their store/state/anywhere/of all time. (Or they are like me and realize just how terrible they are) I've seen more then enough of that on Pojo to last a lifetime.

[MasterDragon]

In the great words of the pro player "That Is Bull****!!!!" You know you ran that **** back in the day with la jinn and Neo the magic swordsman...

I know I did. But that was back when my deck had no theme.

Still can't believe I had 3 BEWDs and a Wall Shadow in the same deck back then. :D

Ah, well. Gold Series is kind of like how most sets end up once you've bought enough of them: you're always looking for that one card and then you'll be done with it. Just treat Gold Series like that, and it might just ease your mind. ;)

Anyway, back on topic. I always think Yu-Gi-Oh pros are the ones who throw fantastic curveballs your way: there's almost always a good duelist who introduces a good deck or strategy that no one was prepared for. Pro duelists are the ones that make the game fun and unexpected-- they remind us of how the game was meant to be played in the first place.

That's how I like to play. I mean, I've never gone to an SJC or a major tourney, but I always create decks with cards I like or with some creative combo in mind; I whip up a combo, think it's great, and then make a deck with those kinds of combos. It's fun to do. Just those kinds of learning experiences keep the game alive.

And that's what the real pros seem to do. It's a lot of fun. You may have lost to them, but at least that challenge was a fun experience. Things like this help us to become better ourselves.

So, we need these kinds of pros in Yu-Gi-Oh. Without them, the game isn't as exciting, and there's no real experience gained from it.

[$pAceBoY-k]

Well I have had my experiences in dealing with players temper tantrums, where was the judge in all this.

he was walking around looking for trades...... : ( but he was really cool and appreciated how my deck was original and beating DAD return and ****...(he was also a pro that just walked in and was like ill volunteer to be a judge) He watched most of my duels too see what all the fuss was about

[thanetdecker504]

Some "pros" are nice, others should be stoned to death for their insolence.
Lol.
So far, all of the "pros" I've met have been really polite(Scurry, Levitin, Fili, etc.), but I see some other "pros" get upset when they lose.
If you don't expect to lose some of the time, then you shouldn't play.

[icoolikethat]

I'm constantly told I'm pro even though i yell "I'M GARBAGE" whenever i get lucksacked, or misplay.

I hate when "pros" whine over a children's card game, but its funny as hell to videotape.

[BEWDMaster]

depending on the person i am sorry but everyone of my friends and me run what decks we want and we have ben playing sicne the frist toruament lone star ever had and we still egt people saying that card is crap run this .... its annying how most people cant leave there net decked ideas for a fun time most pros duel just to win and dont know what fun is infact they think there lifes will end if they lose and i know a pro who if he even lsoes 1000 lp he will threaten people untill they give in or he gets dqed this game relay needs to go abck to the basics the basics of fun win or lose its all about fun

exactly!! some ppl is cool, i have met erin"kaiba" diaz, shane scurry and others and they are pretty cool, they are very humble players.
i havent met jerks(yet) but if i do ill be sure as hell to make them lose and videotape it so i can bring it to pojo.

[Hollistar]

I agree with this message.

[beaverteeth92]

Jerry Wang = Cool, incredibly polite, makes the game fun
Calvin Tsang = Biggest ******* I ever met. I'm glad he's banned.
Austin Kulman = Pwner of dude in Jaden costume in Japan. Awesome.
Matt Laurents = Too quiet to tell
Anthony Alvarado = Nice guy.
Paul Levitin = Another really cool player.

[stringsbatman]

Atem you put that in ur sig you rock!!!!

[DuoShin85]

Atem...where any of these "pros" from ODU? I knew quite a few TCG players who were pretty egocentric and rude.

[Rubber Ducky]

As far as I'm concerned, the people I know are way more "pro" than Corn and Adame and all them. They have better attitudes, and know when to stop buying Yugimonz. They just don't feel like going cross-country every few weeks to play.

[$pAceBoY-k]

Atem you put that in ur sig you rock!!!! I had too,**** like that is legendary.I mean c'mon our national champion acting like that its the silliest thing i ever saw.

Additional Comment:

Atem...where any of these "pros" from ODU? I knew quite a few TCG players who were pretty egocentric and rude.

Idk,where they were from only one of them was cool i havent seen them since...maybe they were traveling?

[Drift_King]

A good deck shouldnt lose to a bad deck unless theres a HUGE difference in skill, where the good player is using the bad deck but since luck is like 99% factor bad decks can win. its frustrating to lose to ppl who r worse than you or playing a worse deck than you but it happens, iget angry when i lose to such ppl when they lucksack me but i dont flip out cuz im not a ******. Most pros are jerks, they think theyre bad but in reality theyre lucksackers, most of the sjc top 8ers and some winners r huge sackers.

[DotA-pro]

Perovic was really nice. He beat me really bad though...I had no clue who he was and liek wayyyyyy after the fact, my friend is like "Dude..its perovic...DDT u idiot!". How was I supposed to know he is like the DDT king?!

[Et3rnal13]

I think there would be a little bit of both. I guess that is the simplist answer.

[stringsbatman]

how bout we all become RECOGNIZED pros and set a new standard?

[flclfanman]

Caesar Gonzalez plays at my locals at times. Doesn't seem like a bad person IMO.

[PegasusX_MJH]

I think if I were pro, I'd probably be a jerk too, since I'd constantly be upset about being a professional in a game where there's actually no such thing as a Pro Circuit and no such thing as prize money.

[Darkest]

There are no PRO players




End of thread.

[iBlaze]

I hate that word, "Pros".

What you consider Pros are just people who devote countless hours + endless amounts of money to hit up Regionals + Sjcs every weekend.

What I find histarical is that he thinks loosing to a Spellcaster deck that uses Allure of Darknesses is called a noob (Hate that word too) deck.

If he said you sacked him for beating him with Magical Dimension I would have been like, "That's not sacking, that's Spellcasters for you *****".

My pleasure.

[Oz1534]

From my knowledge of pros most of the guy's on OD are pretty cool guys, i mean i haven't met emon/corn, but Alvarado,Scurry,Levitin, are all really great guys i have played then and sat next to them when they get beat its not that big of deal, its just a game, now sometime people do get a little overboard...but its like when i beat people im like.....oh man so hot........now don't get me wrong i don't like losing but i did lose my cool to a really really bad samurai deck that sacked the mess out of me but i kept it all internal but i was so tight about losing....cause he only ran one grandmaster and a bunch of other really situational stuff that doesn't even go with samurai so i was upset but its just a game right???

[D. Mug]

Mark Alan Johnson Got P.O.ed at me the other day.
A while ago, one of Chris Pateo's (major major sp) friends Chris McGarret, got really mad.

Wasn't sure if they were ok with it though. Anyone wants to hear how i won, pm me.

[Marauding_General]

obviously he was correct that use waste three ultimate allures, you play dark magician girl, im not trying to mean but that card is &hit.

[$pAceBoY-k]

[BlackJackAttack139]

marc glass is cool, iv known him since b4 he was "pro" though not very well

[Ergonomic Hero]

I dunno, the guys at our locals are pretty cool. Nice people.
But, like, some of the 13- people who come to locals are ****heads.
Like,
Judge & Winner of PT: "Kid, listen. If Dummy Golem dies face down and gets sent to the graveyard during battle, you don't get the effect. It has to resolve on the field."
Kid: "****!"

[raizamonarch]

I don't like talking behind peoples backs. (Corn) I would love to meet corn so everyone shut up. and dont talk crap.like dude he such and egotistical jerk, noone wants to be backtalked.

[ChillyDawg41]

i never met him but i also heard glass is cool. i used to play with alvarado. at my last regional i found out one of my friends from my old local has been friends with scurry for years. and i met samek at philly when he won and played him at d.c.

alvarado, scurry, samek =all chill and friendly players. other than that i haven't really met too many pros but those three and apparently glass are really cool and when u play them they aren't jerks either. each one of them will wish u good luck and shake your hand after the match.

[Dropkick Murphy]

Points:

1. If a "good" player throws a tantrum at a local, he is in fact, NOT a good player. Seriously... what was the prize- like 20 bucks in product? lol.
2. If a "good" player throws a tantrum anywhere, he either isn't good, or hasn't been good for very long. Variance is something players just have to deal with... throwing tantrums is an obvious sign that you haven't been doing this very long... (I was a jerk this one time... at SJC Indy- I totally still apologize to the guy... I was 4-0, and drew 5 gadgets game 1, 3 game 2, and 6 [yes, all gadget starting hand] game 3. still sorry about the trash talk I laid down there...). Seriously though- if they aren't used to it, they aren't good.
3. Throwing a tantrum as a result of Yugioh is sad. Being a good player is irrelevant... it's pretty sad.
4. Most of the better players are very graceful losers (barring some occassions). I think it's unfair for you to judge a large group on the basis of some "hot shot" at a local. :(

[TeamCerberus]

Everytime i loss i allways try and make a joke about it :). From time to time everyone gets alittle ticked off when you pull a hand of monsters. Its human nature. But, hell haha, its fun to loss. I run DAD..lost to a water deck.. Was fun as hell :). I had a good laugh.

[indo.kobe]

the more you win, the more cocckcky you get

[pokekid88]

Some players ACT ****y just to get attentions....just dun mind them...>_<

[Ehero Dragon Cannon]

I remeber at a regionals, I was trying out a new-ish deck, and it wasnt going too great as I ended up 4-2 so no top 8, but I played this guy in the first round, same age as me, and I was trying for some friendly banta, just to be friendly, and he kept saying things like, "Shut Up" and "Don't Talk to me!".

Anyway, I win that match and I offer out my hand and say Good Game, but he bats it away and tells me to....Well I'm sure you can all imagine.

It turns out that he is a bit of a Pro and didnt like Losing 2-0 to some-one fairly new to the venue.

After its over, he comes up to me and asks how I've done, I say "Ah, not so good, 4-2," to which he replies "Well you've just got a S*** deck," TO which I say, " A S*** deck that beat yours." and just walk off

I have met alot of jerks in my time

[minikoo]

those so-called "pro" players who wins and humiliate the opponent are not worthy to call a "pro"
just some broken arrogant freak that needs to learn and know the meaning of "respect"

[Judai]

Corn, Scurry, LaBounty, Jerry, Ivan, they're all cool.

[DragonAlchemist]

I consider myself one of the "Cool ppl who make the game fun.."

I've played the same theme for over 4 years and have had no problem in my performances at Regionals and SJCs. If I have a day of "rough beats", I take it with a grain of salt and look toward the next day. I've had a number of good starts (2-0, 3-0, 4-0) and when people see what I'm actually playing, it surprises them. I always look to give my opponent a good game regardless of win or loss margin and when most games get stretched out and both LPs are low, they would say "This was a really good match" or "This was the best game I had in a long time.."

I would much rather hear or say that than "What a lucksack" or "I can't believe I lost to such jank.."

[tightsavage4ever]

I don't like talking behind peoples backs. (Corn) I would LOVE to meet corn so everyone shut up. and dont talk crap.like dude he such and egotistical jerk, noone wants to be backtalked.

I watched your interview on duel school..you're a pretty chill guy but no trash talking on your team? To me trash talk done in fun is one of the things i love about yugioh. For example this dude at our local was lended stuff to make a DAD return for regionals and he went and scrubbed 0-2 drop.So last week when he shows up we all started "enter players name here " Sux chants but it was all in fun.

[99TourGuides]

Because a lot of YuGiOh players aren't good at anything else in life and haven't developed any common sense when it comes to communicating with society in a reasonable manner. The better you are, the more you've practiced, which means the less time you've spent outdoors.

Not that I mean to speak for all people. I'm sure there are lots of great players with good attitudes.

[NITREX]

Jerry Wang = Cool, incredibly polite, makes the game fun

Wonder what i ever did to upset you ;<<

[Sykox88]

I played this guy at regonals and i sam OTK him first game then monster reborned his dmoc and jinzo summoned xanji and grandmaster. He picked his deck up and threw it at the wall. He then walked out, no-one touched his stuff about 1 minute later he came in looking really embaressed and picked up he stuff stuck a finger up at me then left the room.

I drew him later as my first round knock out. He beat me first turn and started shouting fu***ck you. i beat him the second then in the last game he had a spirt reaper i had grandmaster and shogun, i played rota he played solemn judement i played solemn back. he actually picked up the remanier of my deck and tried to throw it guy next to he stopped him thankfully. the owner of the shop and person running the torni had to phyiscally remove him from the hall. IMO it was so funny

Peace

[vassal]

i mean I call ppl n00bs but I usually do it when they make a good play that screws me...

...

Hypocrite much?

[$pAceBoY-k]

...

Hypocrite much?

Not really as I said if I call you a n00b...either its because you've made a great play or said something dumb. Not because you're not good at yugimonz.

[The_Dark_Monarch]

I don't really care who says or does what anymore...
If people are "sore losers" I will just give them either a "cheshire cat" grin, or I will laugh with closed mouth like "hmhmhmhmhm" (like bakura does), or I will "deathstare" them (like he also does), or I will just sit there looking like an idiot (not hard for me to do).
Sometimes, if they continue carrying on that way, I will just openly laugh at them (which riles them up more). Yer, I got a rep for being rather "eccentric".
I make them look like bigger idiots than they are (also not hard to do). As long as they don't touch my cards, I couldnt give a ****.
When I lose, I actually thank my opponent & spend days fixing my deck & going over "post mortems". I disect my synergy over & over.
It's just a game after all & having said that, it would be good if the shadow realm actually existed & I was in possession of a millennium item..
I probably would trap their souls forever in Shapesnatch cards..
You just gotta laugh & see the funny side of mortal folly sometimes.

[SUPERMAN60501]

I saw Adam Corn crying cause he lost..no joke

i believe it.

[raizamonarch]

Doug lol. I think you actually said you wanted to meet him at one of our locals.

Why lol? All i said was people dont like to be talked behind their backs. but yea I probly said i would want to meet him.

[cbas]

all of them get butt hurt
even if you are considered a pro and you beat another one they get all mad
i 2-0'ed adam like 2 months ago for cash and "he said you be garb"
and i pushed him and he calmed down lol

[LeeroyJenkinz]

I love throwing temper tantrums because I'm not pro or anything...just a random n00b

[Kaplan]

Pros seem to always be jerks.
I beat this guy using a demise deck with a old school warrior deck and he stopped talking the rest of the tournament.

[Dropkick Murphy]

- Perhaps this is a good time to reflect on whether or not WE have been the D-bags of the game at times. I mean... no one actually thinks they're a jerk. o.O

I'd say the most amazing thing you can probably see is when someone wins the final match of an SJC, and doesn't jump, yell "Yes!", or show any signs of extreme enthusiasm (until, of course, their opponent leaves). I definitely remember my first regional top eight (man... I waited a LOOOONG time for that one...)- I didn't exactly pull that off... luckily- my opponent was undefeated anyway, and I got paired up, so he didn't care, lol.

I've been a jerk, but I'd like to think I've matured over the past couple years. I know I once went off on a guy playing a 60 card burn deck at SJC Chicago after he knocked me out of contention in the 6th round or so (he opened game 3 with graceful, conf, cyber dragon, mystic LV2, and a turn 2 chaos sorcerer after siding into a 60 card burn/warrior variant, lol).
I was a jerk to the first guy that beat me at SJC Indy too (I spent a little too much time on the deck testing, my teamate got knocked out by burn, and I drew 6 gadgets in game 3 as an opening hand, lol). even the guy sitting next to us told me I was out of line... I was a total jerk (sorry!).

I think it stems from liking the game too much. It doesn't have anything to do with your outside life (hey now- mine is incredibly fruitful!). When you work harder than most everyone else, you want it more than most everyone else. Honestly- I think that's where cheating comes from too (never have, never will- but I'll admit it crossed my mind a while back).

I certainly hope people think I'm one of the nice players. o.O I've taken the time to lose a game against the little kid and tell him how great he played; I'd like to think on most occassions I handle myself well enough; hey- I arguably threw away my first SJC day 2 on moral grounds (final match against Kenny So at SJC Indy- he Troopered while banisher was out, which is a game loss, and I didn't call a judge, not wanting my first day 2 to be a result of boarderline rule sharking).

Either way- we've all gotta be pretty conscious of our actions. It's pretty easy to be unsportsmanlike. I guess we just all have to remember why we started playing the game, cause it sure wasn't for the money, chicks, power and chicks (yeah- chicks are twice as important).

I think, in total, the best players are rather graceful people.
-Edgar Flores barely said a word when we played, but he wasn't impolite.
-Perovic was just a great guy; only got to play him once, but he just seemed to remember that the game was about having fun.
-Levitin I only played once in an SJC (my first- Indy 2005/6- can't remember). He was pretty cool about getting beaten by a newb. At SJC Indy- despite having never really talked before, he was just a good guy when we talked.
-Basically everyone on OD or Comic Oddessey: OD I've already talked about; CO I've played against Wilson Luc, Kenny So and one other guy (can't remember his name!). All of them were, despite being rather quiet, extremely polite.
- Team Kamikazi Krew: I've played all of them, they were at my local when I first started learning how to play- with very few exceptions, they're great guys.
- Chris Pattio: love this guy... first played him at my first SJC where he totally rocked me (and gave me advice afterwards). played him at the SJC Chicago Regionals in the 2nd to last round where he got a game loss, and we just played best of 3 anyway. then we played in the regionals b4 SJC Indy 2006 (exactly 1 year after I first played him, lol) in the final round- I had won my Invite the previous day (and 3rd in the regional) so I threw the match. Basically... just been friends since. He's one of the good guys.

So... yeah- I'd say on tilt, most top players are pretty nice guys.

Honestly... the only pro that was ever really, really rude to me was Evan Vargas during a win-a-box at the 2006 US nationals. He opened with graceful-conf all three games, and wouldn't stop talking about how lucky I was for playing one of my three zaborgs. o.O He just went on and on with sarcasm and biting remarks; just not one of the nicest players I've ever played against.
Every other bad experience I've had have been from... well... bad players.

[Malkieth]

Beeing an ass during,before or after the game is breaking the rulez get a judge if you can still win the turney if not slapp his/her/that.

[mitchtodd2]

there realy is not point in getting mad over this game, I lost so many times it's not even funny.

[Marquis_J]

no i dont like canadiens(pittao)

[Al_Kapwn]

Okay me being a former not so much now pro, I was very arrogant, snobby, and sometimes even rude to a lot of people I considered noobs, and yes, I was angry when I would not so often lose.. But after awhile if you fall off the map you have time to think, and it really seems so stupid how seriously I took the game, I mean I still have one of those $2,000 decks and I did go undefeated at a regional on saturday but I wasnt arrogant about it, in fact I was very unconfident.. But just becuse you're good at a childrens card game does not mean you should bash other players who are just trying to have fun, or just bash them for not spending money on the game, honestly I traded for most of my stuff.

[darkjester]

well im no were nere a pro but im a good player i do get pissed if i lose thats just cuas i hate to lose at anything its just me to the guy that said i cant belive you are runing that crap well hes just a azz. i ran into a few of them myself and i just say what ever ---- off. i love the game like most the guys and grils on here but its not my life. if your life is all about yugioh. i have this to say. get a life, maybe a girlfriend . :D

[Kitsune Blue]

One dude at my locals went off on me when I said he should have attacked his opponent's Treeborn Frog with Dark Gaia (He brain controled his opponent's Dark Gaia) and attacked the Treeborn with Jinzo instead. He told me he'd listen to me when I was in the top ten in state. I just walked away.

[1timedude]

i was playing a dude and i had a ryu kokki out and he had like a 7 colored fish or something and i was gonna attack for game so he flipped waboku and i chained seven tools, then he tried to chain a riryoku 0.o. it took an hour to get through to him that he lost because riryoku is a magic card. *face palms*

[Fluffanator7777]

Cuzz the "Bad" pros think they are divine.

[Undead Knight]

Nobody who thinks they're good will respect the burn player.

EVEN if it's Baboon burn in this format.

EVEN if you go X-0 for the tourney beating every good player there.

Still, they will call you nothing other than a sack. Despite that being EXACTLY what the deck is supposed to do: Get really REALLY lucky just naturally.

Nobody who thinks they're good will respect the burn player.

[onufoyovne]

Didn't Adam Corn get really upset about losing to a Gadget deck at SJC Columbus, and as a result, started insulting his opponent and trashing his opponent's belongings? Actually, I think that may have been when he threw water and all of that over people's cards that was being talked about in this thread.

EDIT: Hmm, looking at Metagame... seems I was wrong. Corn only lost to DAD and Shadow Priestess.

quote-unquote-pros. The only ones that I've ever run into are pretty cool...except for this one guy who stalls and stalls and rulesharks and stalls. God.

I was watching him play a match at regionals. He has nothing in his back row. His opponent activates Trap Dustshoot. He shuffles his hand for five minutes, apparantly thinking hard, shuffles his hand some more, then finally says, I have no response. His opponent activates Macro Cosmos. He does the same thing again!!!

His opponent scoots a monter over into the next zone for whatever reason. The guy almost throws a fit, "You can't do that...move it back please." It happened again later, and without asking, he grabs the monster and moves it back to its original zone. Yes, it may be against the rules, but since when does it really matter what monster zone a monster is in versus where it starts out? Unless you are running Senet Switch, which is just ******ed...

Otherwise, the 'pros' I've been around have been pretty cool.

I was playing this dude at SJC Mateo. He was playing Dragon LADD deck w/ Emperor. I swept him 2-0. So when I go to sign the match slip, he finds out hes on the wrong table cause the numbers were sorta backwards. I call a judge over and he gets pissed and starts cussing out saying "You damn Mother____, the numbers were put wrong and now I lost a ______ match cuz u guys put the _____ numbers wrong!" He starts to go all off and the Judge tells him to calm down. He goes "I cant calm down, I lost a match because you _______ put the number in the wrong _____ space."

Ironically, his opponent didn't show up on the table next to him. So he still won. -_-

I respect you Ronan, but that doesn't mean i don't think you're a sack. Like come on man, topping MJ with no outs in deck and drawing into 4 burn cards for game? I mean seriously....If I can't call that a sack then wtf do i call it? And the game after where you topped Rescue Cat into Gyaku's in combination with Ojama Trio, which you had your one copy turn one of all three games might I add.. It's not cool man.
