^on that note don't you guys think it kinda sucks that after practicing for thousands of hours, dragging your way through a couple seasons in UGC, and playing several seasons of open all you get to say is that you are now capable of playing in IM? You're in the top 0.01 percent of the tf2 playerbase and all you get to say is that you're "intermediate" which is way too close to the word "average".
It totally ruins everyone's game with chicks too! What if things were going well with you and some chick and you tell her you cant go out of Wednesday night becuase you have a match. You spill the beans about your video game career. She asks you about how many hours you've spent playing and you look like some genetically inferior betamale that isn't any better than average after practicing for 4000 hours.
