I only partly agree with Norfleet. If you play players who are much better than you you don't really learn anything. You just die and lose morale (and then everyone else in your squad routs). You only learn by playing against people who are somewhat better than you. Then you can see the differences in strategy in an environment where you can still have a chance to evaluate what is going on and adapt.

Not necessarily true. It depends on the "expert" player's willingness to answer questions and ability to explain to the novice what the novice did that's inferior. Zen was/is a good example of such an expert mentor. And despite what has been said about him by various persons, I learned a lot about Ermor and sundry other topics by conversing with Norfleet.
