"Rookie of the Year 2012" nomination.

And again, no one will remember that Kilgor was removed from that very tournament because of his high skill. That is, he initially showed a level higher than others in that tournament and played in 3v3 before that.

A person can reach a certain level of play very quickly. Well, let's say, they can build chains reasonably well and micro to some extent. But the nuances... they only come with experience (let's say, leveling up 3-4 heroes, making 2-3 flanks, correctly assessing the number of neutrals).

I started completely from scratch. And how much I raised my level of play this year, is it adaptation or growth? Or maybe I just play a lot and experience accumulates gradually? The question is rhetorical.

You started from scratch online, but you, like me, played against the computer, watched streams....

P.S. And regarding centimeters:
A long time ago, when I was young, I met a kind fairy who offered me a choice: excellent memory for life or a large member.
I don't even remember what I chose back then...
