Ah, but isn't that the point? My experience has been of the steady sergeant with 1,000 games. He might not be the most daring of players, but be over-confident and he'll clean your pipes for you.
While we can only write in generalities I think we can often say that high score = narrow game selection rather than high score = superior ability. Of course there are many exceptions to the rule, but it holds in many, many cases. Someone was criticising woodruff for being a private after 1,000 games in another thread and he retorted by saying he had 100 games on a wide variety of maps and styles. I can see why he's a private then, as I wouldn't want to set myself the challenge of playing that many varieties of the game and staying over 2,000 points. I imagine I'd drop a great deal.
I agree here. And Woodruff was right about to play in most of the maps,no matter the points. I tried, once I had the MapRank, to achieve a win in every map. But when I was doing in Benelux, I had to play 8 times to a single victory. so I decided to play at least once in every map, but carefull with my points, because,low rank sucks
