First off for not having the english language as a primary language you did pretty well.

Secondly. I play magic seriously IRL, but I have fun doing it too. No one likes to lose, but in the end its just a game. I am naturally a competitive person. Online with the league and just MWS in general I play for fun. I build the standard Tier 1 and 2 decks, but I also build my own decks. Also I play my favorite format mostly online. That being EDH. Also online I find it harder to play competitively. You cant see the other player which is huge when playing competitively. As I am good at reading people. You can compare that to the differences between online poker and real life poker. All in all this league means nothing to real DCI ratings. Its just for fun.

I hate losing.
Still i play because of the game, not the points.
In some formats, I do that successful (Limited), in others, less successful (Eternal,Other,Constructed). The reason is, i think, that in Constructed, the avaliable card pool is too big to not make mistakes when deckbuilding. While in Limited, the cardpool is small, and deckbuilding is not as free as in the "Constructed deck" formats.

The point is:
Simply ignore whoever says someone'd be a noob/bad player. Everyone is a specialist in some way. I am not great at Vintage, but at Limited, You're maybe not great at Standard and Limited, but why don't you try the Other formats like Rainbow Stairwell.

Or improve your play (to make it better, not to get points Wink

) I'm sure most opponents would be willing to tell what they'd do different if they plaed in your position.

I play for a couple reasons. First, I like making a deck that is really good and that is fun for me, so building the deck is one of my favorite parts. Second, I do enjoy winning,but I just enjoy winning because I am competitive, not because of rating. While I would like my rating to be higher, it's not too much of an issue especially because I have only been on this site for a week or so.

Also, your english isn't bad. It's very good actually for someone who hasn't really been taught.Also, which country are you from?
