Holy shit. Artosis is fucking bomb as shit.

edit: I can't imagine quitting a job for sc.

edit 2:I've been knocked out of things I put my whole life into. I feel his pain. But he was way more dedicated than I think I'll ever be. Props to him and much respect.

you need to be more manly, didn't tear up during any of those vids, only moments you should tear up is in moments of self sacrifice.

Try watching odin, most emotional 6 mins I've ever seen:

If you don't want to watch one and then the other, or you have seen both before, someone cut relevant bits together. I'm a big fan of Sean and Dan, awesome guys.

There are a couple of moments in D9D 100 that make me cry almost every time. That's not one of them, that just makes me grin like an idiot. But I do <3 Artosis. I wish I could have the balls to do what he does, and just go after what I want with no regrets. Takes a really strong guy to do that.

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.

I met Artosis at an MLG back in the day (I believe it was Philly) when Smash Melee was an event. He drove all the way there just to take his brother to the Smash event. That's a good man right there. I played a few games of BW with him back in the day. One of the best in the community.
cava!

I have posted this before, but if you watch the entirety of that WCG video, you see the reigning champion "Froz" lose, and when he gets interviewed after his loss, he pulls out the "I'm too old, I don't care, I'm quitting the game anyway" card.


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!

FroZ was the original LiquidHero

if I recall he joined team liquid as Hero back in the day (And now we have Liquid'HerO the boss toss). Correct me if I am wrong.

You are correct.

I remember in another thread where the TLPD for Liquid'Hero showed up as Terran, and linked to Froz's TLPD profile.

No worries, man! I know that wasn't your intention . I just had the spare time, like I said, and wanted to make sure people don't relegate him as another random older player.

To become a progamer just because you love it even before when there were $10k tournaments ever month and tens of $100 tournaments every week takes fucking nerves of steel and big brass balls.

I agree completely, Artosis is without a doubt my favorite e-sports icon. I hope this gets featured (might be a longshot)
