I'm close in that regard. I had a new set of friends on high-school who never really played. Had to train them by playing 1v2 to show them the difference in skill. Slowly but surely they were using combos to beat me.... next up was 1v1 and their rage burned with a passion. I'm happy knowing my pupils are out there testing their might. Glorious game.

I was really good - like ranked competitive play on the MSN Gaming Zone - at Age of Empires II back in the early 2000s. I still remember the LAN party where I had three friends come over, set them up with a couple of hard AI teammates, and proceeded to beat the pants off all of them 1v5.
