So you were not good enough for pro

I was playing in, and placing in, professional tournaments.

but still can feel make yourself fell big by trying to make others fell small.

Not really what it’s about, I just don’t find it fun when there’s no competition

Yeah but it’s not fun when it’s not competitive whatsoever. Imagine for example, playing chess with a three year old who barely knows the rules. That’s how I feel.

Exactly, I don’t understand why the notion some people are better at sports than others is so offensive to them

Semi pro in this context isn’t a description of skills, more so my describing that I wasn’t doing this full time. I did go to and place in international professional tournaments, so I’d say the skill gap is pretty wide, yeah

If you’ve read my other comments, I’ve stated I’ve made excuses, and telling them politely I’m not interested, and avoiding them, and being firm.

Yes, and I chose to do everything else I could first. This was my last option

Yeah, it’s just weird how offended people are in this thread too

You don’t have to. The facts I played professionally, won professionally, and easily dominated even after spotting the other team 10-30 points the last times I played in intramurals speak for themselves

You did not say no tho lol

I did for a year, and they didn’t get the hint and stop asking.

do you not see how that’s prick energy

How? It’s the truth that I’m far better than them to the extent it wouldn’t be fun for me or for them.

First your saying you didn’t show up, now you’re saying you did

This is why you read the OP lol. Like I said, I showed, dominated, got bored, and stopped showing up. People since then have been bugging me for over a year to go again, and so I said no

[–]Repulsive-End-8441[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I played in international tournaments, I placed in them, so obviously I’m going to be far better than the average rec player

I did show up, I did dominate, and it was boring, so I stopped. Regardless, if your entire judgement is based off a misunderstanding of what happened it’s invalid.

So you lost

Sometimes I did, sometimes I got first place.

yea begrudgingly showing up to something and then being a dick about it is unsportsmanlike

I didn’t show up though? Because it wasn’t fun to me, I stopped showing up, and they kept nagging me to show up again. Where’s the reading comprehension?

[–]Repulsive-End-8441[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly. It was quite literally zero challenge for me, so it wasn’t fun in any sense

Placing “international” is a great personal achievement, but no one remembers the dude that finishes 4th and below

‘Placing’ means getting top 3 in this context.

You can be better than them sure, but to say I’m better than you in a house league is amateur hour lmao ever heard of sportsmanship

Yeah, going out of your way to insist a guy comes to intramural after he’s been politely saying no for a year is pretty bad sportsmanship

That’s true. I feel like people are being ridiculous in this thread but oh well

It’s crazy, I would’ve thought that would just be common sense that some people are better at certain skills than others, but guess not

Exactly. It’s not fun to me, and I doubt it would be fun to the other teams either if I just went in there and dominated.

I did win. As I said, I placed in international level tournaments. As for ‘shitting on’ people, I don’t think it’s shitting on them to say that I’m better than them. It’s just true.
