In Game:
-
Popularising egg decks, making it to S1 for the majority of Jan and feb 2018 while still actvely laying games at S1. Winning MDL with eggs after becoming recognized for the deck. Watching casters being impressed by plays despite being able to see both hands and the board state.
-
Getting invited to the eyolympics because I won the new player tournament. Playing with the greatest players of the time including Grinch, Winter, TheScientist. Disenchanting the vast majority of my collection to craft the meme cards required for the tournament and beating scientist in the constructed finals where you could only use every card once across three deck, yes including neutrals. So we played stuff like planar scout and swamp entangler because there were not other two drops available. This was also before the majority of the expansions.
-
Winning the first new player tournament where you could only use commons and rares. I was helped by a good player Wyzed to choose and build the deck and one new player who was my friend and rival at the time ended up facing me in the finals, he played vanar and it was very close. Filled with big drama of me disconnecting one game due to servers failing and him being very angry because in his eyes he had the advantage. It was the start of my duelyst “Career”.
Socially:
- Meeting Wyzed and getting exposed to competetive esports.
- Meeting T2k5 and being exposed to a new level of programming skill and a different way of life.
- Spending time in the discord with everybody and meeting friends from around the country. Denoobz, Necrei, EurasianJay who I have met in real life due to discord and many many more.
- The memes and the social development I went through after putting my foot in my mouth so many times and realizing if you are constantly being ironic you actually just start looking moronic.
- There are still many people I met spesifically that had an impact on my life. Zyx, Ree69, ThunderCat and about 20 others that I’ll likely name in some post when I depart from the game.
