people that believe AtheneWins account is actually Athene playing are trolling themselves

piqliq is just some swedish protoss/terran player completely dedicated to cheese and nothing but cheese

At Blizzard there exists an office.
Inside this office there exists a man.
This man is PiQLiQ.

I believe, with absolute conviction, that PiQLiQ is a Blizzard employee. Blizzard's balance team needs someone to test the most abusive strategies possible. Someone needs to cheese. Someone needs to understand cheese. Someone needs to understand the power of the Photon Cannon and the power of the Bunker. That man is PiQLiQ. That man exists in an office. That office exists at Blizzard.

Think about it. What happens when you flip "P" upside-down? It becomes a "b". The "L" and the "Q"s are capitalized in PiQLiQ. The "L" is obvious. It is an "L". "Q" is an obscure and little used letter. So is "Z". The "Q"s are for "Z"s.

What does that give us? b-L-Z-Z. Blizzard. PiQLiQ works for Blizzard.

This explains why there's no good zerg cheese. Nobody's out there trying to balance it.

I saw Slush play against this guy more than like 7 times in a row on the ladder on his stream once. Slush would lose to him like 4 times in a row and it got really disappointing. At that point, I left for an hour and I when I come back, Slush was still playing against PiQliQ.

PiQliQ's play is surprising to say the least. Slush would baneling bust this guy, and somehow PiQliQ still makes it out alive. =/
Stay gold.

Some very deep analysis and detective work by my fellow TL'ers here, if only I thought of them myself.

Offhand, yes, AtheneWins plays Starcraft 2 now. But it's rumored that Kiwikaki actually plays on his account.

Osto, I agree with Mihai, this guy HAS to be pretty decent to be that high on ladder, and his cheeses work despite the fact that people expect them. Plus, I have seen him win some long macro games before.

Added a poll.

Pretty sure Boyardee is Naniwa, so it's not him. I'd like to think Day9, but I don't think he's been very active for a while.

If only I could be as good as PiQLiQ!

Anyway, here's some recent comments about PiQLiQ:

PiQLiQ is a great player sure, I don't nessesarily like him and I beat him the last few times we played, but he's certainly very smart and has tons of potential. Would we have considered PiQLiQ? maybe if we needed a Protoss, but at this point in time we needed a Zerg, and if there's another pickup it'll be a Terran, and you probably shouldn't even try to guess, because if we do end up recruiting one, it'll probably be based on potential, talent and dedication, like we've always done.

Also some talk about EG PiQLiQ in this thread:

Piqliq is actually Nick "Tasteless" Plott, a player famous for his cannon rushes even in BW.

Piqliq raped me on one of his smurfs playing Protoss while I was trying to learn Terran t_t. I raged cuz he pulled some kind of proxy voidray cheese and he tells me he's piqliq and coaches for $15 an hour >.>

Anyways that's my piqliq story

Someone who calls himself piqliq appeared a few times on sayle's stream. I don't know if that piqliq was real or not. Sayle meant that he was real but i still don't know.

Well all, my search for PiQLiQ's true identity has come to an end. He has contacted me via Team LiQuid and told me who he actually is. Thanks for speculating with me this week; I hope that you read and find out who he really is, because he doesn't want to be mistaken for anyone else.

Wow, PiQLiQ is trying to throw us off by saying he is just a normal swede...
This only makes me MORE curious as to know his REAL identity...
