Apparently JohnJames is Kenn, who I've seen online...

I saw Auqia in the lobby once just chilling, but he never went in a game as long as I was in the lobby...

Efe still plays...one of the few people (to my knowledge) that isn't always Vasari whoring...

Kbroke, KoK, and Greg still play...of those three I've seen kbroke the most...

Allegedly Carpetbomb still plays, though I've never personally seen him...

There are some other good players out there (some old guard, some new, some I'm not sure if their name is just different) but most of them basically Vasari whore, so judging their actualy skill is difficult...

Well I only have ~60 games, not like I'm online 24/7 or anything...

Like I said, there are several people who seem good (or have good reputations) but I've only seen them Vasari whore...Dwish, DumDeeDum, etc....

I have seen Star around a bit as well. A couple of older faces like Cult have appeared too, but mostly its new people.

I don't have much time to play anymore.

Translation: people who know the game quit because balance needs total revamp. New people are having fun because of novelty factor. Once they realize current gameplay limitations they quit too.

I have a 20mbs connection with a bad ping so Stop whining about absenties because im very absent and i very much hate to be thus have no choice but to be. <sigh>

but em i skilled?

maybe it doesn't even matter.. <sigh>

Why em i even posting in a ico related topic.. <sigh>

The world should work on eliminating poverty and laggy ping.... <big sigh>

wait a second: Doesn't absent mean i've been on ico before.. oh boy-this is just another useless troll post...again.

back to lan

They will whine and dine with the spoils of war before them but the whinning will dimmer to nothingness and they will once again login to play the game they paid for and face all the new challenges with every patch.

I only mentioned those of the old guard who are using the same name...whether they are considered "skilled" or not I really don't care about...

lolz

They will never mature unless you teach them. 

Lets not bloat about this subject, there are very few pro players these days. The amount of idiocy i see from "upper players" in 5's and 4's is due to complacency. Carpet is a good player, but by no means should you be looking down from upon your high horse. 

I will teach all who wish to learn. Unlike you other "pros.".... 

This is a troll post.  Lots of skilled still play.

The reason why you're seeing only 150 and not 1500 or 15,000 is because 99.5% of all the people who ever bought the game only play it offline in single player.  I don't know if they prefer to play Starcraft or if they're just afraid of playing against other people who they don't know or if they think it will take too long to play online.

Or that us single players see that most troll posts are MP's and dont want to deal with the immaturity online.....
