Gipobsk:
Well I never encountered the guy on the battlefield but we are on the opposite sides for long time now so i know few facts based on what I have seen on our forums and heard from people in B.A. and people outside B.A. so will base my opinion on that.
As Attacker I would say 7 - ABP is really great from Gipobsk and only rated by ABP would be 10,your ABP is going to the sky with amazing speed,but seen many of Gipobsk attacks and they are always the same,I am not saying it is bad but seems to me I would know how to deal with those considering they are always absolutely the same configuration,second thing is Gipobsk has lost 18 cities so far so it seems he is not putting anything or at least not much in defence,and when you dont defend that basically means every single of your cities can be attacking city so that amazing ABP is not so great considering every time he gets attacked he loose a city,maybe I am wrong but 18 lost cities and has only 500 000 DBP,that is definitely not perfect considering many of Gipobsk cities are in the back lines and surrounded only by friends.
As Defender - 4 - seems he lost 18 cities and every time attacked he lost the city being attacked,so I am not impressed.
Overall - 6,5 - considering so many great and skilled fighters have left ETA my opinion is Gipobsk is one of the better ones who are still in ETA,so 6,5 is my overall grade based on all the players I know and are still in the ETA,considering all time Hall of Fame in ETA I dont see Gipobsk in top 30.
Personality - 4 - well on externals Gipobsk seems very cool person,but I heard from some valor members he can be very rude and he acts like dictator sometimes,that is not the quality i respect very much,just the opposite.(of course maybe those guys and girl were not saying the truth but they had no obvious reason to lie).
Personality based on my encounter with Gipobsk - would be 10 of 10,I had few chats with Gipobsk and he seemed like great guy to talk with,he likes football and drinking around,cant get any better then that.
Gipobsk I hope you are not offended by my rating,if I would rate myself all my ratings would be lower or the same then those I gave to you.
(as attacker I gave you 7,would give myself not more then 5,5,as defender I gave you 4,would rate myself also 4,as personality I gave you 4 and would rate myself 3,and personality based on my encounters with myself i would rate myself 2 at most while I gave you 10).
Conclusion - Gipobsk is for sure in top 20 fighters on ETA at the moment but he is lately taking more ghosts then enemy cities,it is probably the best strategy on long term but kind of disappointing from my point of view to see that from a guy who was once known like resilient fighter not paying attention on ghosts around him.
But I admit we are happy to have Gipobsk in ETA,I hope you stick here till the end.
