So i was very interested to know how David Kim (Rank 1 diamond) groups units, how he plays in game and micros and stuff and I went searching for his replays.

I got a few (about 5 of them) with him playing all the three races. It was hard finding it but here you go if anyone's interested.

Also if you have replays playing against him it'd be awesome to give them to me.

Dayvie as zerg vs protoss Xelnaga
Dayvie as protoss steppes of war
dayvie as terran vs hyungjen lost temple
dayvie as terran vs Murder Delta Quadrent
Dayvie as Zerg in a 4v4




Cheers,
Kage.

This guy is obviously amazing, whoever he is it's weird that I never see him in any tournaments given his skill level. You'd think being the #1 Random player in the world you would be all over the place taking names.

He's a tester for Blizzard so he can't compete in tournaments. It'd be great to see him play against the top 16 for blizzcon though..

Well I'm watching the replay and it's not that impressive...

I've not seen the actual David Kim play but in the replay he says he's not, and he's not that good.

I don't think it's ever been 100% confirmed that he is actually David Kim. Him not entering any tournaments certainly sways the argument, but people are on both sides of the fence regarding his identity.

He's a blizzard employee, perhaps they don't want him competing since he's balanced the game and knows it from scratch.

Although about his rank. He had higher score than players with more games won, more games played a while back So perhaps he's got a "special blizz account" which allows him to play on top levels to see the balance there

I'm pretty sure these belong to david kim, he's not the best player in the world but a good random player and i wanted to see how he grouped different races.

I'd like to see some dayvie replays that differ from this then if someone has it!

Ya I have seen this in the beta. These are replays that have been posted with people confirming it is David Kim. His record is not flawless or superb, but he's sitting at rank 1 with random so that's got to amount for something now.

He can't compete in tournaments because imagine a scenario where he loses to X strategy in the tournament, and coincidentally that same strategy gets nerfed in some way in the next patch. That would create a lot of bad rep for Blizzard/David.

Wasn't the player "Dayvie" confirmed to be David Kim in the beta?

No tournament organizer is going to stop him from competing in their tournament. His employer might, though.

yeah all the blizz employees cant participate in tournaments. AFAIK its becuase they could influence the game. Say they put in a really specific bug by hiding it in a patch, then exploit it to win a tournament...yeah

doubt it's david kim. david was only good because he knew the game at a much more intimate level than anyone else in early beta, but now everyone has caught up with him.
