Isn't the fact that there isn't that much competition at the top a direct result of the fact that the top KDs often engage in play that most players don't want to duplicate, like setting alarms and such?

I mean... if you're going to force an arms race of who can spend the most energy on the game, and then be surprised when not many people do, you're gonna have a bad time.

There aren't many top KDs because not many people want to play in the style the top KDs force. You're a victim of your own success.

Ghettos find plenty of targets, and they all seem to have a decent time, **until** they encounter a top KD that takes all the fun out of their game.
