Well I guess i should start with how I got my I.D. I was a Halo kid and when you die/get killed in that game it says beat down by ____________ or you killed ________________ so being the idiot I am, I choose A Wet Shamwow. Now I use Rhino or Rhinooh for all of my IDs but I didnt realize you could change your name on TL until i was well over 500 posts. The way I found Starcraft/TL was through GiantBomb.com. One of their podcast hosts got caught up in Starcraft 2 and the pro scene and I decided to check it out. He even did some interviews at the oGs house. (Can be found here http://www.giantbomb.com/giant-bomb-in-korea-ogsteam-liquid-house-tour/17-3516/ )

Anyways, after playing through the campaign I choose to play Protoss and got placed in bronze I worked my way up to gold by this time last year when I decided to play terran. My change was largely inspired by Jinro in the GSL. I continued laddering and I remember getting to plat using the good old three rax. I have stayed in plat to this day, as I cut down on my laddering during the summer. However I had an identity crisis I played terran, but I didn't like any of the players I had to model myself after, All my favorite players were protoss not terran. I recently switched to toss because of this, and I can say to anybody considering it switch if you are doing it for positive reasons. I wasn't switching because I thought toss was so imba (I don't) I switched because I thought I would have more fun as toss. Luckily i have been able to retain platinum status and I play a lot more because I am having fun.

One thing I am proud (?) about is my stupid luck at fantasy starcraft. First I did very well at the first GSTL fantasy league on TL. I finished 38th over all and I would have been 14th if I hadnt traded thorzain for MVP. This was during the dark ages of korean domination, and I thought that Thorzain had no chance in GSTL, I also made the mistake of thinking IM cared about team leagues. On top of this i am currently 7th on the BW fantasy league because I made the gamble on effort. Can't really say anything about my bw success because for the most part it is stupid luck.

TT I will never forgive you IM

I was never good enough to participate in discussions about the game on TL. I also think arguing about politics and the like is also a fools errand. However I have made the mistake of reading LR threads for every single event. I have rather poor judgement so I have engaged in many arguments with trolls, recently I have been able to report trolls and this has eased this pain. Overall I have at least 60% of my posts in LR threads. ( I would dig up some of my old posts and make fun of them but I don't know how to look back that far)

Finally I would like to like to talk about my favorite Starcraft moments since i have joined TL. The best tourney was easily MLG Columbus. MLG was coming off one of the worst tournaments evern run and nobody was sure that ESPORTS could succeed in the west, Columbus was magic, everything seemed to work. However my favorite moment had to be GSL 5 when San owned up his group. I remember San being called the worst player in Code S and him just ripping that group apart. I haven't heard about San recently but I will always remember him.

Thank you for reading and sorry for the shoddy writing.

Pretty cool read, very nostalgic! I too think Colombus was one of my favorite, especially after the shit show known as Dallas (WAR EAGLE!). I think also IPL3 and MLG Providence because both Leenock and Stephano were pretty much unknowns and just ripped through the open bracket coming out of no where! Well you made great use of your 1000th post!
