I learned from a lot of the BRD guys when I first joined. Brunchlady, now Cyclopsided, showed me the ropes and what there is to look forward to learning - especially back when you could do ridiculous crap with ladders - glad I didn't bother learning since they fixed it since. Cyranule, whether he meant to or not, taught me as I threw myself at him in duel server a lot just to learn to manual block and be able to read even the best feinting from fast 1h and 2hers. Ryden inspired me a lot too in that aspect, and was always one of my favorite people to duel because he had the perfect offense and defense, and an awareness that made all us old bastards look bad. Same with ManOWar. Robert Namo helped me out too, because he was always fun to fight with or against.
I took a lot from Goretooth actually. He plays aggressive, which I tend towards even when its not appropriate. But I really picked up the value of held swings and footwork from him.
Operators like Silveredge, WeeBo, Karma.
Puutie lance cav like Huey, BADPLAYER, and TommyHu
Dan, Life, and Palatro were always switching it up and inspired me to be versatile with builds and try everything once. I liked all the ATS guys
Archers like sWalker, Aderyn, Taser, Agile, Itchy
Bigsandwich, Beeper, Canary, Dexxtaa, Sauce, all with their own take on polearms, where my heart lies in the end.
Spaniard, Dynamike, and kekekee set my love for 2H cav in stone.
