Corr, you continue to purport this fallacy, despite information otherwise. I bested Luke (S_A) in his prime. I was no where near my prime during these series of matches. Thus, myself and others have surpassed his top skill level.
Luke seemed "amazing" because of the terrible skill level surrounding him. Lyric_ bested Ornalth in a few series as well. Lyric came here, and we all know how that went.
Dave (Tokxilchaosz) did the same thing with Ornalth (Ornalth was better than everyone ever, blah blah), which was total bullshit. Now you're committing to the same fallacy. Learn2logic.
Also, S_A did NOTHING to advance PVP. I, on the other hand, shared everything I knew. Basically, he was very stingy and didn't care if his title was glorified amongst newbs. As long as he was number one, he didn't care. His true colors showed when he was beat and it became quite obvious why he was keeping to himself for all that time.
ALSO, a little know fact -- Nitex actually bested S_A for several weeks and held his title. I convinced Luke that he was better and had him rematch him to regain the title (this was when Nitex bested me often).
