The moment that always gets me is after Day9 beats Tasteless and they both go backstage, and Nick tells him he's going to win. That's one of the most powerful moments of anything ever for me, seeing Sean tell the story and how emotional he's getting, how powerful that support was. I'm typing this in a café holding back tears because I'm retarded and actually just watched it while sitting in public when I know it makes me emotional. Oh well. The other one is Sean's little speech at the end. Good lord that's moving. | ||

Just as a warning, the following post is probably unnecessary, but I've got a lot of spare time at work, I'm was/am a huge FroZ fanboy and don't want people thinking he'd try to make lousy and bm excuses for his loss. FroZ isn't really playing a card if what he said is completely true. BW wasn't his passion, he really didn't have an obsessive attitude toward the game that was and is all the rage in online gaming. His fellow players weren't his best friends in the world like what seems to happen now. FroZ was known for being naturally incredible at the game and hardly practiced. He would often take breaks for many months, practice for a couple weeks and decimate everyone who'd been playing their asses off during his absence. This is the American that was taking multiple games off Boxer at WCG and that shit just did not happen. I always found this to be a huge deal. The FroZ archetype is found in Nony during the later portion of his Brood War career when he would just appear after months of inactivity and destroy foreigner players who were pro or trying to go pro. To compare Artosis' attitude to FroZ's as being the superior one is understandable but ill informed of the context. The fact is that FroZ really hadn't the heart to play for a long time before that but for years was almost always the USA's best hope of any success at WCG, just by being FroZ. And that is simply badass. Maybe I'll just write my own blog post about FroZ and explain him... sorry for the long winded reply! Just want the knowledge to spread. My post was more about artosis' greatness rather than trying to offend froz. Anyway. If he was really as good as you said, you should definitely do a liquipedia write up for him! I am sure when people heard his name in day9 daily they would look him up on google/liquipedia (i know i did) but find nothing. Good luck! | ||

Correct me if I am wrong. You are correct. http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Team_Liquid I remember in another thread where the TLPD for Liquid'Hero showed up as Terran, and linked to Froz's TLPD profile. | ||
