For me that characteristic is Playing. I love players. There is a saying in the ghetto in basketball- its something like Ill play you and beat you with a fucking rock if thats all we have.
Well to me, the CC player that enters any game , at any setting, with any player as a teammate... Well thats some hardcore shit. Im like that, but I dont win a lot. These guys do.
1)tdans
2)Beckytheblondie
3)ninja champion
4)LFAW
5)crashawc (probably the most underrated dude in cc)
Out of the 5 crash is probably the only one that would not join a quads HIVE match... The others im 100% sure would. But crash has his own intangibles going like knowing in fog -where you are at, and when to attack your ass every time.
Becky fucking plays with cooks as partners, on maps he is bad at, on maps he knows I am going to kick ass, in maps he has no clue about... still joins. Still fights.. hellova CC player and always tough. And usually beats me.
LFAW tdans and Ninja would be top ranked players if there was a glitch and all they could play was any map any setting random... 3 fucking solid players.
And ALWAYS are good sports at least with me.
tdans shows up like a fine rash. The rash you get right when you date a new girl and you want to seal the deal. He is a killer and is always there.
LFAW takes a while to get to know, I think he must actually have a non-CC life. And he plays like it. The guy will play you anytime anywhere. He doesnt care about being the top player.
Ninja champion is more of a speed pest. The guy will get in your games and can compete with any setting. I dont see him around much so it makes me thing his game count isnt in the 100's I thank god for that

those are my 5.
