Hey TLN. The point of this post that I just got gold in team arena for the 2nd month in a row and it is due to what I learned at JvsP. I had never reached higher than silver before JvsP and I play arena a lot. I am not being carried either as I play the vast majority of arena alone.
I know that it is valid to hate on arena and this post is not about mlg vs arena. It is about my results being clearly and consistently better post JvsP.
I've been following MLG since 2007 but did not play the playlist very much. The main reason why is not enough people on my playlist were into it and the team play aspect never really had a chance (translation = I got dominated) when I would match make. Now I am playing it with the JvsP alumni and getting destroyed less and less every day.
So I am proof that your game can improve after the JvsP experience. True I had the most ground to cover but these results are real.

Glad to hear it! I know this would change some people's minds about going to PvJ or not so that awesome.

Thats great!! i felt the same way after just one set of lessons with a pro. thing is, we mainly talked about spawns, which i already knew an average amount about... this leads me to wonder if its a matter of building you confidence as well. from what i can tell, PvsJ does just that, while also enhancing your individual skill. I hope to go next off season of sometime during this season if i can spare the extra cash.

We won the games we ran in MLG a while ago. I watched you in PvJ and you are right. Greatly improved. Don't be satisfied though! Keep wanting to get better and it will happen.

The three best things you can do to get better are as follows: Practice, practice, and more practice! :D

If threads like this keep popping up, everyone will make it a goal to go to a PvJ.

Thx people. This is big for me. I am more into halo than ever and the season has not even started.
Everybody I play with from TLN is so much better than I am that I'm sure it is onyx all around if you even play this playlist.
Antkeyyy = added.

Brad, I officially have more pictures of your Arena stats (that you made me document) on my phone than I do of my girlfriend lol. But indeed you have improved my friend. Gaming with you is always a blast.

You rock my socks Brad!!! I know that I've improved a lot since then as well. Maybe we'll both go back one day and dominate all!

Arena stats, like girlfriends, look best when they are young and fresh. Shred I allow you to delete those pictures of your girlfriend now.

Brad, you once again enlighten my ears. I will be attending the PvJ coming up and hope to improve exponentially afterwards.

Awesome to hear that you have improved after attending. Hopefully this will spark some other peoples interest, showing that it actually can help you become a better player if you really take what you learn back home with you and practice.
