The Skill Level of Flatline:
Posted: 12 Sep 2017, 05:38
I've been considering this for a while. For a long time a lot of Mythers have stated that Flatline used to be a legendary old school player who was one of the best back in the day. Now, as someone who played back in the day, I'm not sure that characterization is accurate at all. Flatline is the kind of guy who boasts himself as great because he was a celest. Yet, players such as KaIN and True 2 the Game became celests and they were rightfully viewed as terrible players undeserving of their rank. Is there a reason why Flatline should not be viewed with the same level of derision as those players? The answer to that question is no.
Like them, Flatline has been involved in many dummying scandals.
Like them, Flatline has been involved in orders that have been caught in major cheating scandals (9CoH, BI).
However, the most damning indictment of Flatline is that for a supposed myth legend he has only one or two highlight performances in a tournament. Heck, one could argue he has less highlight tournament performances than the likes of Bk & Seeker.
So, why is Flatline viewed as a legend?
He shouldn't be... he's a player like Synapsed -A-. Like him, Flat was never any good. He was always a 2 baller at best.
