I remember you being at the top of the ladders, active on the forums, and a common name that people would talk about back when I first started to play warlight. I'm thankful that this game means so much to you, thank you for your personal contribution to it. Hopefully we can play some games together enjoy what Fizzer's given us =)

I thought this would be a Troll Thread.

However this is the nicest Story i have ever heard on warlight!

Wow! Amazing story!

It’s funny to see your post since you got one of the guy at the top when I discover this game, and even if I don’t know you, your nickname is ringing in my brain as a model to me when I started to see warlight in the competitive way.

Thank you for the share, it's very heartwarming in some points and very interesting to see warlight can have this kind of impact, and furthermore to see grateful comments as yours. You seem to take the life in the good side. We can only wish the best to a guy like you.

The parallele with other games and particularly esport games as League of Legend is particularly interesting too, and very inspiring. I always thought warlight has some potential as strategic game (Fizzer is a very smart guy), but it’s interesting to see it can finally have some synergic way with other competitive games. Maybe that is very little, but it’s a kind of spirit (as you say “go all in or not at all”) and very encouraging.

PS: please excuse my english, I hope it was clear

@dunga • apex It's remarkable how you automatically assumed me to have another account older of age but surprisingly this is my main account. I don't share any other alternative account, or at least unsuspended accounts since all of them got banned. Although I used to wander around the Warlight community under your reign reading commentary and reviewing games on the ladder and forums, I never participated nor commented. My experience on Warlight back then was that of a newcomer actually.

Great story to read Dunga! Thank you for sharing with us :)

I surely remember you, very nice story dunga! Was always a pleasure to play with you. :)

Don't know you, dunga, I'm afraid I came along too late to know your story, but I too have felt like Fizzer has given us all an awful lot. I took up this game when my youngest daughter was born as a way to amuse myself during long periods of inactivity at the hospital. (she's now a crazy three year old). While I have not come close to sniffing your level of accomplishment, I try to contribute where I can and I have made many great friends along the way. Friends that carry over into life outside of Warlight even.
Either way, nice to hear your story. Thanks for sharing!

cool beans.

I didn't expect this kind of acceptance of my history. Every time I read your replys it fills me with joy.
This community is as amazing as I can remember, I wish I could reply each one of you, if you want, message me and lets talk

like Belgian Gentleman i was around but never commented, i'm positive i have sean your name a lot though. great story!

Will you post the name of yt channel? I think Fizzer may have missed the line regarding this :)

^ ps did a few posts before

Sadly I'm too new-school to ever have played with you, but that's a great read. Congrats dunga. And congrats Fizzer, he's right, this is an amazing game, and an amazing achievement.

"In July this year my oldest daughter with 10 year old went viral for being a 10 year old guy platinum League of legends player. She was massive broadcasted among the community and her videos (or videos about her) reached a few million views. Her(our) channel has 72k subscribers now and expected to reach 100k at some point next year."

Eh, not really sure why that should have been such a big deal. No offense to your daughter, she's definitely much better than most players her age, and most players period, but there have been 10 year olds ranked much higher than Platinum. Highest I am aware of is a boy that was Challenger at age 10.

Sadly I think it likely was a bigger deal due to her gender than her age to most people. The notion that girls can't be good at games needs to die.

@dunning

I take it you're Nauz since youre from Michigan. Have you ever got something to say on the forums which doesnt put a downer on things? Lighten up a bit.

dunning:

it's a big deal to dunga couz
a) it's his daughter and he helped her reach that point
b) managing a youtube channel and making regular youtube videos and editing them takes some work which surely is not done entirely by the daughter

being jealous of a 10 year old girl is a bit silly of you.

Obrigado pela historia, foi muito legal!Espero que tudo vai continuar dando certo pra vc e as suas filhas. Boa sorte com os seus projetos!

PS: Nowhere did I suggest it shouldn't be a big deal, to him.

What I don't understand is why such a thing would go viral, it's impressive, sure, but not at all unheard of for young people to excel at games.

Pointing that out has absolutely nothing to do with jealousy. Platinum is roughly top 10%, it's a decent achievement, especially for a 10 year old, but it's certainly not something I'd be jealous of. What is silly to me is the instant assumption that any comment that isn't 100% complimentary is fueled by jealousy.

Top 10% at something is typically achievable by most anyone that works hard. It's not like top 0.01% where it requires a ton of natural talent.

@Alt-who-is-probably-Nauz

"If you propose to speak, always ask yourself, is it true, is it necessary, is it kind."

It's not even like you're being funny, you're just being a bit of a dick...

What exactly have I said which is not true?

If you were proposing that one should only speak if their words are, kind, necessary, and true, then I'm afraid you might as well just rip your tongue out of your mouth, because you surely won't have much worthwhile to say in your life.

Personally, I'm much more in favor of: If you think it, say it.

People who follow your mantra will never amount to shit.

Criticisms are worth far more than flattery. Or at least they are to anyone who's ever going to amount to anything. Anyone that prefers flattery is weak-minded and destined for failure.
