Hey guys, for those who don't know i am a semi-pro Australian Terran representing Team Gamecom Nv.
Around a month ago on the Korean ladder i vsed a \Protoss with the name Firebathero whom i deemed to be a smurf but have now realised this might actually have been the real FBH(as per the details in this post http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=336256)
I thought Teamliquid might be interested in seeing his level of play.
Oh btw, for all these excited blogs that are about to pop up. I renamed myself into KTFLASH in europe, so if you play me don't go all giddy about it, rofl.

There's a few aus players in korea clans, same way you join any clan, hang out in channel, play games with them, join them if they think you're decent enough.
communication can obviously be a bit of an issue however
i dont think koreans would play with real nick until they official play it ? i mean there are SO many with the same nick its frustrating blizzard allows more then 1 person to have the same nickname

there is only one fbh with that exact spelling and capitalisation on kr and the man himself admitted it.

That's not even remotely funny. It's absolutely disgusting. How dare you call yourself a god? You make me sick.

Well the confirmed real firebathero on mc's friendlist had the same ID, I think it's pretty safe to assume it's him, especially the way he played on entombed lets it look like he comes from bw for sure.
I only watched the entombed game thus far, looking really good I love how he doesn't even build a single colossi but tons of obs instead. Thanks for the replays.

yes, and there's also a sea of platinums and diamonds there, like in every korean clan. obviously joining such a clan has nothing to do with your competitive abilities. you don't get to practice with genius and jjakji upon joining. NsP are very friendly people, and they're open and accommodating to foreigners
Steveling I and 99% of people would think that if they saw anyone with the nick flash on any server other than KR that its just some dude either looking for attention or a fanboy. If its master or GM on KR maybe but not anywhere else.
I ran them through SC2gears to get some numbers. A minute here is a normal human minute, not a Blizzard minute
APM: 224 EAPM: 148 Redundancy: 33% Macro APM: 77 Micro APM: 163 Average game length (with a sample size of two PvTs): 17:24
Game 599 Macro seemed solid, but not Aria-level "wow", but he was playing the most passive terran in the world, so he didn't have to defend any pressure or drops. Really not a good game, even for SC2. FBH keeps his money low off two bases, but it starts to creep up a bit when he takes his third. Terran doesn't play that well (no drops, sits under storms), but FBH still loses
Game 600, played a week later Most of the same. Terran was not very good (compared to pros. Obviously better than me, but little pressure and ate storms), so hard to judge, as he had little pressure. Money issues on 3 base again, getting to 1000/500 at the 15 minute mark. Just before the 20 minute mark, he's at 1300/1300. He makes a bunch of HT after that to spend 1000 of that gas, but still has 4-digit minerals, just chillin', not being zealots, even though he's at 150 supply going zealot/archon. It's not a matter of not enough production, either, as the nexuses in his main, natural, and third are all sitting at 100 energy. He seems to be able to spend gas OR minerals, but not both.
He's not awful, but if this is the vaunted BW mechanics at work, then SC2 Proleague might be in trouble. He should've been chronoing those gateways and keeping his money down :|
Not that impressive , the terran didn't play very well. I was really disappointed The only thing that makes me happy is the 3~4 control groups for army.

Does he even know what chrono is? rofl I haven't watched them but someone in the thread said he didn't make collo at all, seems to me like he doesn't know half the stuff toss has in sc2.

He made Colo in the first game, and mass chrono'd his gateways at one point in the second. He knew.
