Ahhh yes, the IDL All-Star game. Although I have never been in such an event, I consider it an extreme honor to have had at least been voted for in past (and even current!) IDL seasons to compete in such an event. I have competed in every IDL there is, and to even be considered by anyone taking the time to vote to want me in such an event... well really, it just gives me another reason to continue to compete. IDL is extremely competitive, and I am just as extremely grateful to have gotten the opportunity to play with the best that this game has to offer. This crazy game that we play happens to be the one that standardized the &quot;FPS&quot; genre that continues to strive today. We should all be proud that players like us rose above the &quot;general&quot; crowd and dominated what is considered the standard. We do not compete for prizes or cash, but for the sole satisfaction to prove that we are the BEST that this game has to offer. Much like how Doom helped set the standard in the gaming world, we continue to set the standard in a competitive multiplayer environment. What&#039;s better then setting the standard of the standard? At least to me, this has been what IDL is about. <br /><br />Now, unlike my username that has followed me for over 5 years, I am going to be a bit unique here and give my reasons why I selected these players. I choose all these names from my experiences from a competitive and personal perspective. To me being positive in both of those categories creates the perfect player. Honestly there are more that fit the category, but we are limited to 10. Gotta have rules!!!!!!!!<br /><br />[color=blue]INTERNATIONAL DOOM CONFERENCE[/color]<br /><br />[b]Shadow Ghost[/b] - [b]#1[/b]. As we all know, this Canadian was considered to be the #1 IDL draft pick way before the draft was even decided. Hell, the guy even avoided becoming franchised by anyone just so he could know what it&#039;s like to &quot;be in the draft.&quot; Shadow Ghost and I have a somewhat competitive history with each other in the 1v1 department... we were out to kill each other and we exchanged victories amongst each other, but to me he sealed the deal when I was defeated in a Doom2 Map01 tournament. We didn&#039;t meet on a 1v1 battlefield for years to come after that. #1 indeed, he was the best that I could have asked for on a team. Not only was he competitive, but he was friendly, reasonable, and just had a common agreement with me on how we wanted the season to work. Unfortunately, things just ultimately didn&#039;t work out, but I can assure you it was because of things out of our power ;) I used my &quot;mystery&quot; to select this individual and literally only a very few knew who #1 was going to be. Shadow Ghost can work with any team as far as I can tell and he enjoys winning.... to not place him on a team is just plain ignorance! I hope your ego is fueled even more, [b]#1[/b]!<br /><br />[b]Xenaero[/b] - This guy has been competing in Doom as far back as I can remember. I do believe he has competed in past All-Star games and that is with good reason. An interesting character, our dear friend DD has been somewhat notorious for his public &quot;rage&quot; moments and honestly it just makes him that much better. I have worked with him in Season 1, 3, and even managed to become his franchise pick in Season 5. Despite what in my opinion was an awesome team in Season 5, EBL completely collapsed and it pretty much put the team as a contender for one of the &quot;worst IDL teams in history.&quot; However, I feel we both tried what we could to make the team a force and it just seemed like fate was against us. Many issues (even internal ones!) decided the destruction of EBL, including what is considered a rigged match that sealed the deal at the end of the season on map04&nbsp;  :-\ It was a decision of mine to break from being a franchise player to captain, and I must say that DD managed to capitalize and benefit from this season and had a chance to place EBL in the Conference Championships. No doubt this guy deserves to compete in yet another All-Star game!<br /><br />[b]PotentPotables[/b] - Obviously this goes without saying. PotentPotables, or Chewy/Hi Jango for those that remember from that far back, has proven himself multiple times. He&#039;s defeated the best that this game has to offer, inside and outside of IDL. He had a shaky start with GhostlyDeath and worked his way to become a multiple MasterBowl Champion. Pot is a guaranteed top pick and will continue to be so as long as he competes. A Champion by all rights, I only hope he continues to compete in the future.<br /><br />[b]Nostar[/b] - A huge competitor, he has successfully led his team to multiple championships and played his cards in a way to guarantee him his ideal team. I have always found him an easy man to work with and although I feel he always works best with his &quot;team&quot; he brings a top-notch game and can help make a difference in many situations. No doubt a professional in what he does, I only hope he continues to compete and definitely deserves a slot in the upcoming All-Star game. <br /><br />[B]Sabertooth[/b] - Another player that goes back a long time. Saber from my experience can work with any team. He was an essential part of the new EBL and is a very good all-around player. In my opinion, the addition of Sabertooth just makes the IDC more powerful and to not see him compete is just a complete waste. <br /><br />[color=red]WORLD DOOM CONFERENCE[/color]<br /><br />[b]mikehail[/b] - We all pretty much recognize miek. He doubled the amount of flag captures this season over the 2nd place flag captures and that alone should speak for itself. With 261 flag touches and 51 captures there is no doubt that mikehail is an essential part of not only his team, but the WDC team. I personally made it my decision to specifically use him as my scheduling guy during IDL 6 and I must say, inside and outside of the game, he is the one of the best I have ever worked with. Ping means nothing with miek and I only hope he continues to do what he does best! Although he didn&#039;t get it this season, no doubt in my mind that this man deserves a Masterbowl title and there is one in his future!<br /><br />[B]METALBLACK[/B] - Another long-time recognized player, Metalblack is indeed one of the best that I&#039;ve encountered in the IDL. He is as competitive as it gets, and even prior to IDL 6 him and I met only on a strict competitive basis. Although he may or may not remember, I had teamed with him during multiple practice sessions vs FLS in season 5 on map20 of the current IDL wad, and I remember we were losing the match until about midway and he finally had a chance to bring us home a flag and I got in his way by blocking him (on accident of course!) and he threw some negative words towards me for it ;) I could see how competitive he was and it only made me want to be even more competitive and we ended up crushing FLS regardless during the last half of the match&nbsp; 8) When I face against Ralphis I enjoy watching him lose and we made it happen ;) Metalblack is one of my favorites and I really feel he will make an all-star appearance in the IDL 6 All-Star game.<br /><br />[B]HumanBones[/b] - With no surprise, no doubt bones will make it to the All-Star game this season. Just short of a MasterBowl title, he has multiple championship accolades under his belt and is always a force to be reckoned with. He has shown the ability to work with different teams and to me he is one of my favorite players to team up with. Chemistry means a lot and it is great that I was able to get him as my #1 draft pick in IDL 1 (Yes, I WAS the original captain of SXG before my lame scheduling kicked in and got me replaced!). Obviously bones will make it to the all-star game and he is certainly deserving of it. <br /><br />[b]Mantis-X[/b] - He is what a captain is made of, not only does he bring his own skill to the table, but from my own experience he is very easy to work with and arrange things and he believes in getting the job done. Mantis-X built himself a very powerful team and led BBC to become the WDC Conference Champions and take on SUC in Masterbowl VI. He is a player that certainly deserves to be considered one of the WDC&#039;s finest and once again I only hope that he continues to compete!<br /><br />[b]Midian[/b] - Midian goes back a long way. I first encountered him in the world of Skulltag and he shattered the theory that anyone from there wouldn&#039;t amount to anything. Or maybe that was just my opinion at the time.... either way, midian has clearly proven multiple times that he wants to win and when he teams up with HumanBones it just becomes a powerful combination. I always find it humorous when mid plays mid because well........ yeah.... I am pretty sure he will see the All-Star game&nbsp; :)<br /><br />And that&#039;s that. IDL 6 meant a lot to me because I feel I drew a lot of attention with the mystery around my draft pick. Without franchising a player I guaranteed Mr. &quot;I don&#039;t want to be franchised&quot; to team with me and made a lot of people wonder what the fuck I was up to. DMR was without a doubt an extremely powerful team but unfortunately we just weren&#039;t able to pull it off. I tried my hardest to work with my own schedule as well as my teams and I just hope that I didn&#039;t let anyone down. I am very proud and grateful that I had the opportunity to lead such a team and I hope that I can go even further in the next season as DMR&#039;s captain!<br /><br />On a finishing note, I would like to bring up one other thing. Maybe I shouldn&#039;t mention anything but hell, I&#039;ve said this much and I&#039;m in one of my rare moods. I just want to &quot;thank&quot; [b]MionicDonut[/b] for being so &quot;supportive&quot; of his team and for reminding us just how &quot;highly&quot; he thought of us and &quot;raised our spirits&quot; prior to some of our matches. You certainly showed me a side that I didn&#039;t pay attention to during our time in EBL and you certainly opened our eyes.&nbsp; <br />
