Giving this a whirl. I heard stories that a lot of really great players got their bearings through this ladder by climbing to the top of it. It was also recommended to me by Big D, BC's No.1 player. I'm currently Rank 3 in Oregon and have decided to add as much knowledge to my game plan as possible so that I can become the best I can be. I do not like that there are players I cannot hold a candle to. It bothers me very much! I hope that through playing on ladder often, I will be able to raise my skill to understanding many more situations and play-styles, and come into my own.. 

It would also be nice to knock Cacogen off his top, and that's a race everyone in the PNW is striving to do first. But there's no shortcut to it. I must become unambiguously strong to have a chance. I must become so strong that no matter who I fight the path to victory is clear to me. I'm never satisfied. I hope that you welcome me here. Thank you.
