A following of fans that for whatever reason thinks a particular high level player is better than rest of them.

But to improve, also realize that there are levels you'll never attain. Playing against a really good player is fun, but during the beta it quickly went from "Oh look, I'm playing against Sepha!" to "Dammit it's Sepha, I'd really rather not get rolled again."

You don't need to play a lot to be good. You just have to play smart.

Some top players have very few games played. Then there are ppl like sageofthesix, who is good, but has thousands of games played.

I disagree with this. Every single top-level player went through a phase of just spamming a ridiculous amount of games. It might have been 2 years ago or 2 months ago, but I guarantee you every single tournament winner went through something like that at least once.

Of course, playing a ton of games does not equate to success. But in order to be successful, you have to put in the time at least once. After that it becomes a lot easier to recover your previously attained skills in a short period of time.

CoH2 is still too young to have true top-level players; everybody is still terrible at this game, even if skills carried over from vCoH have accelerated the learning process. But go back to vCoH and look at that game's best players; of course, I wasn't around when you were, but from 2009 on you had players like Sepha, Seb, DrHorse, Sweix, SiberianPlatoon, Kot, Symbiosis, Aimstrong, 12azor, Gosu, and others who played massive amounts of games in close proximity to very deep tournament runs and/or victories. I can't think of a single player who didn't spam a ridiculous amount of games and managed to make it far in a vCoH tournament since 2009.

Well, yes, you do need to play a ton of games to be the best of the best. I was merely pointing out that some people are far more efficient at improving than others. Whether that's due to intelligence, ambition, or the purposeful studying of tactics is up to debate.

after some thought, i decided to bump this one up (pls don't be mad)
due to the current SNF that going on.

it would be cool if some of the contenders will comment here

what are you thoughts on that? what's your secret?

what is it you think makes the top Players?
Buy as many P2W DLC commanders as you can.

Or you can play a lot of games and still not be any good. Do you guys remember RedFive from vCoH? That guy had like 5000 games but wasn't even 50/50 W/L for any faction.

-Multitasking, micro, smart and quick decision making.
-Reading and understanding what´s happening on the game, reacting accordingly with the proper solution.
-Knowledge of the game.
-Experience. Facing similar situations multiple times makes it easier to surpass them.

Besides point 1, anyone can get those if they are willing.

is it spending at least 4-8 hours a day perfecting micro?

I do know what it's NOT: spending 4-8 hours per day whining about "nerf this" and "OP that" and "OMG, Pay2Win Commanders" on every COH2 forum they can type words on.

No, good players are too busy actually playing the game.

A sincere and loving relationship with Christ.

Buying all DLC commanders

A sincere and loving relationship with Christ.

This too. When you start a match and you think "what's first in my build order?" Faith. Faith comes first. Before going out and murdering an invading army you first ask God how he wants you to do it.

Indeed. As we say in our house, 'Do unto others as you would have George Michael do to you.'

Only top players can answer this questions so I read only Inverse's comments. If I knew what it is I would be a top player myself

as the best player in the world currently i can say that i was taught everything i know from the legend of the COH franchise, the king of ad hominem, the community's elected balance representative... who won by a landslide of votes, WHO KNOWS THE INS AND OUTS OF HIS GAME LIKE HE KNOWS HIS OWN MOTHER

And then god said...I want you to blow up their flesh into little pieces. I want you to ram metal through their hearts and brains. I want you to crush their bodies into a mangled splatter of liquid....Burn them and maim them ..beat them and eat them. For then shall you be worthy of my loving grace.

We should all be thinking about Nullist at this time of year. As well as being a peerless CoH expert he was also a well-liked character.

In many ways he represented the best of this communiity, and, dare I say it, humanity.

His forum account died so that others' may live.
