And finally, FBI, you're absolutely right: it IS JUST YOU.
   For some unfathomable reason you apparently do not believe that some players are much better than other players. True, luck plays a part but this is a game of skill, dexterity and knowledge, and it doesn't hurt to have top-notch equipment that's tweaked for best performance. 
   As you should have seen over the years, on average, players will finish a map at about the same level. Some are very good and usually finish at the top; some aren't very good and usually finish at the bottom. That's usually consistent because, again, this is a game of skill.
   Along comes someone like Real, a world-class player, and you can't seem to accept his extraordinary level of skill. Fact is, he will ALWAYS finish at the top. He's that good. It's that simple. Is that so hard to understand? Have you ever played chess with a master? Same thing.
 

I read about half of these whiny posts.....I agree with DJ, pump up your shoes and bring your A game when they are in the server.  THEY BOTH DO NOT HACK.  just good players.  If you dont want to play when they are there, that is your choice.  Personally, I will kick both of their asses so let em bring it.  

...smoking, a year ago today. I feel better and my health has improved. 
 
I tried various ways to quit for more than 50 years that I smoked. None worked. Here's how I did it.
 
Starting in the fall of 2014, I stopped habit smoking. That's the cigarette that you don't really crave, but smoke out of habit only - the one you have with your coffee in the morning, the one you smoke after dinner, etc. At the same time, I resolved to not smoke in the car (I never smoked in the house.)
 
After a month or so, I found that I had cut smoking by about 50 percent. I was only smoking when I had a strong craving to do so. Then, I started to smoke only half the cigarette. I would put it out and leave it for the next time I really had to have one. And when I did, I smoked the other half. 
 
At this point, I had gone from a pack-a-day habit to two packs a week.
 
After a month or so of that, I started taking only 2 or 3 drags on the cigarette and then butting it, saving it for the next craving.I did this for about four weeks until it was really easy for me to take just a puff on a cigarette, and then put it out.
 
On Jan. 14, 2015, I butted my last smoke, threw away the pack and all the lighters. I haven't had a smoke since. Slowly weaning myself off smoking worked for me. I hope it does for you too. 

AMD 80286 with the math coprocessor,  128k ram,  10 megabyte hard drive, 5 1/4 floppy, Trident ISA video card, 4800 baud modem.  All in a desktop case that weighs 100lbs.   It works good enough for me.
