I wouldn't say he was the best player. Golded a lot but I thought he was rather average but i'm comparing him to most En players, on US he would be considered good, he definitely was better than most of the other players in there as was his alliance. But i'm comparing because I got pitted on the front line against his ally (the #2 alliance) and sniped their CSes all the time with ease. I never saw him lie though. From what I know he honored his pacts and was very direct in what he wanted.
Can't say he's a bad person. His style of leadership just isn't suited for modern Grepo. If he did it back in 2010-2011 i'd have been 100% with him.
