These are the players i considered to be the best of the Modern Generation. Please take a few moments to read what i have written about them and share your opinion with my own. I made the list based on my experiences with these players throughout the years. Please refrain from posting any immature or unnecessary comments. 1.FTW_Shadow™. Iv known him 6 years now and throughout the years he has given me more support in-game and in real life than anybody else, anytime i spoke to him about my personal well being or any issues i had. He always spectated my games, giving me advice on how to play against particular players, and he is the reason i beat UAG Tornado & many other great players. I spent so many hours playing him in 1v1 and never once was it easy to beat him, i see now why people called him "Tricky" and for the way he moves believe me he deserved that Title. I will never forget the times me & him played in clan wars against UAG as we were easily the "Perfect" team for any two opponents, the only loss we ever had was against Alex & Zeus once or twice and they were a really strong side to compete with. Luckily for me, Sam was my partner in the decider clan battle against UAG in 2011, and me & him won by a 9 kill advantage over Tornado & Razor to take the series 20-14 overall after being down 13-4 at one point. I respect him more than i do any other player because of my history with him and the fact he always defended me in every situation, playing him again would be really fun but i won't expect it as he is a full time parent now and i'm happy for him, and hope his University went as well as i predicted. 2.TCA NightWalker. Artik always done his best to help the new players who would join the game on a daily basis, hosting tournaments for everyone, making countless beginner guides and even guides for experienced players. He hosted multiple variations of game modes & tournaments that brought entertainment to the game and also a good challenge. He is the first person to ever consider teaching me how to better my playing in Tanx, and in 2008 he invited me to TCA to help me train and become a better player and believe me his advice helped me alot. I had a rivalry with him which he disliked due to the fact i insulted him once or twice when he beat me in the past due to the fact i couldn't stand losing. He was a really reliable player and most of all a really helpful, polite and generous person. I Am glad FlyOrDie picked him as a moderator as he does a great job whenever he is around and never seems to change his personality at all, always the same considerate person i remember from 6 years ago and just two days ago he was giving me Interview advice for future jobs i may end up with. He is easily one of the most skilled players of all time, nobody knows the map better than him and never will. Thanks for all the Help TRAiNOR. 3.FTW_ELIMINATOR. Alex was by far the best 2v2 partner i had in recent years due to our playing styles being completely different. He had the most accurate grenades iv ever seen and was really smart with the use of hills and a pretty annoying backshooter. There is no shortage of victories me & him had together in clan wars and there are very few who beat me & him in those clan wars. He is by far the best Grenade user of the past 6 years, and if you don't believe me try playing him sometime when hes online, i assure you he will not let me down. Hes a great Friend and one of the most hilarious people iv ever spoken to on the internet and it has been great fighting alongside him throughout the years and i would play him anytime without hesitation just to bring back memories and to have a seriously difficult game. 4.SFT Zeus. Zeus and i never really got along very well due to the fact he didnt like me when i first started because i was childish and would often start an argument with him or a rivalry which was pointless because at the time i was a newbie and he wasn't. throughout the years i played against him, he has by far given me some of the hardest matches of all time. He has a rare move set which seems to change every time i play with him and he knows the map so well. A Very reliable opponent if you get him fired up before playing against him. He played a big part in the FTW-UAG Clan era we had in 2011 and he has given me countless clan wars over the years from 5-10 different teams he has been in with different players, including Razor, Tornado, Sibylline, Alberion & alot of other great players. We might argue often but i will always respect him for the memories and how good a player he was. Thanks Zeus. 5.FTW GraveRobber. Bryan never once told me his real nickname from the past but that i believe isn't of importance. He gave me the most "Intense" games out of everyone. Always quick and deadly and very difficult to outplay, especially when off the radar. An incredible all-round player who i really believe was the best of the past 6 years in terms of 1v1. And the times we played 2v2-3v3 together he always had my back and got me through it into a victory. Great friend to this day and he taught me so much back in 2009-2010 when i was just getting good at the game. He is the reason i am so good off-radar. Thank you for the intense games and support Bryan. 6.UAG Tornado. Tornado always, and i mean Always gave me a hard time. we spent more time arguing about who was better than we did anything else. And most of the times we played it was always a close game of 10-9. Apart from when i was less experienced and had no idea how to use the radar to my advantage. Once i became good all-round the map he became alot easier for me to handle but he was easily one of the hardest players of all time and a true leader of his clan UAG. many people hated him for his arrogance or confident attitude and i understand that, but they have to respect how great an opponent he was. to this day i wish he still played as he gave me some of the most intense games of all time, he was easily in my top 5 rivals of the past 4-5 years. Unfortunately due to an incident with a Moderator he was banned multiple times and has been inactive ever since. If he ever comes back i will practice with him to help him regain that skill as i know how hard it is for people to comeback after many years and play again. Thank you for the all the rivalries and all the hilarious moments Tornado. 7.TALIBAN_FORCES. Tali was by far the most amusing player iv ever met on Tanx. He was never short of words to make you laugh and was always a motivational player. Despite not playing competitive he sure held his own against the absolute best in any operation. he taught me how to be a fast opponent, how to move so much quicker than a normal player and because of his help i became probably the "Fastest" player in the game. In an important & intense game, nobody is as quick as i am and it is because of him. He always supported me and stated 5 years ago "He is a future general" and right he was. Thank you for the laughs brother, i hope your well these days and i hope you know how much i appreciate all your support throughout the years. 8.FTW_Fighter/Bullet 9. Never got his real name but this guy provided me with so much competition anytime he was active. He never liked me and i think its because of how over-confident i was at the time. He would often call me a no lifer for playing for such long periods of time. But in the end i ended up having a good conversation with him and he turned out to be a pretty good guy. He was a really good player, probably the second hardest opponent iv ever had in the "Flats" area of the game. He played similar to FTW Shadow in many ways and prooved he was one of the best everytime someone called him out. I got so many games from him in 2010-2011 and each one of them was difficult, never once did i beat him with ease besides a fluke 10-5. He is by far one of the all-time greats and many people know this based on his clan history but i personally would like to thank him for everything he did for FTW back in the old days before i even played the game. If he ever returns i will practice with him as i know he will still be as good as ever. 9.TrA_Dryciez/SR Crucifier. Brandon always provided me with both humour and competition. The rivalry i had with him was probably the longest of all time and still goes to this day, anytime he returns we fight. I always beat him however, he is one of the all time-greats and always provided me with a good challenge in the last 3-4 years. Unfortunately the game losing players also made him leave due to having nobody to form a clan with to compete against FTW he decided to call it quits and leave. He always claimed to win so many Tournaments and throughout the years he was active around my time he only won 6 or 7. However i know he won alot in the past as i have seen the Medal table so i give him those wins as deserved unless Minni played on his nick for him in those tournaments. Thanks for all the hilarious games Brandon & i hope for a few more in the near future if you come back. 10.UAG_Best/Blood23. Blood never liked me and probably never will but the guy gave me countless fun games in rated ops and in tournaments. He was one of the most annoying grenade users iv ever met. He was arrogant and very confident of himself hence the name "best". He provided me with tons of intense games in ops but the most fun part of all was competing with him in Tournaments in the past year or so. definately one of the best of all time, one of the quickest and most accurate players iv ever played against, and believe me i know who is good and who isn't, this guy is by far in the top 15-20 of all time. He no longer plays (that i'm aware of) but i hope he comes back as it isn't the same without a player like him to compete with. I had a rivalry with him FTW-UAG, one which wasn't long lasting in the "clan era" but its still a rivalry i know we have till this day and if he comes back i know for a fact he will provide me a good challenge like he always does. Come back soon blood, i know your around here somewhere. There are many other players i could list but making a thread about them all would take me more time and FlyOrDie wouldn't approve such a huge thread. You guys all know who you are. Friends & Rivals, you guys gave me the best gaming experience possible throuhgout the years, and i thank you for every moment. That includes all the people that dislike me or FTW. I appreciate all the competition you have given me these years and i promise you i will continue to provide you with a reliable opponent. Other old players such as TerminatorAzteca, TANK MASTER, BROCK LASNER, Massacre UpR, Klayton, TERREMOTO, UnidosRevolution, Minni Me & Twister and a few others, i will easily say you guys are some of the absolute best of all time just because of opinions and the very fact that i was the only one willing to argue with you guys over that history, claiming you were over-rated was a mistake and i understand now why it was. You guys were easily some of the greatest of all time, it's impossible to determine one "Best" of all time due to the fact there has been so many incredible players throughout the years. I can only hope that the ones i have had issues with can forgive my mistakes and start a fresh with me perhaps. There are so many more great players i didn't mention because FlyOrDie wouldn't approve such a large thread if i had done made it. You guys all know who you are, you know i enjoyed all our moments and possibly the future moments if any of you ever comeback. Thank you all for the great rivalries, conversations and all the memories. Take care everyone.
