of course ichitaka and hao2 kicked ass.

i was in their division (colombo) in the 90s and ichitaka was my DL and they both routinely kicked my ass. but i was happy he was my first DL because he taught me a lot =) i actually remember being in tourny game A with ichitaka also in the 90s and i tried a few times and could never beat him. i think i topped out at rank 2 one reset but he got 1st so i figured it was just meant to be.

i then moved to genovese in the 2000s and cm/aqua/nof routinely kicked my ass. i was always second tier in LaF until all those guys retired...

i also forgot about deak of NM also.. good netter too =)

netgaining is much different without those guys...

although evo does have some top netters who definitely put up a good challenge lately.

for example this reset osso was definitely a landgrabbing machine... pretty impressed at his country actually...
