I have known Harry (MaSsan) for a while now, we have been teammates in the past, and have been good friends for over a year. He just recently graduated from Georgia Tech a couple months ago, and has since........ been homeless. He has been living on his friends couch basically, thinking about what he is going to do. Harrys friends had already planned going to MLG months ago, and it is something he couldn't not go to, because it is his passion and he loves gaming and playing SC2. If you know Harry, you will know how good of a person he is, and how much he makes you smile (even if he doesn't realize it). He is a big inside joke among his group of friends, because of all the crazy shit he says and does (WWHD - What would Harry do?). Now without having a home and much time to practice, he decided it would be fun to go to MLG with all of his friends and just have fun and get his mind off everything going on, so that he did.


Starting off in the daunting open bracket, there was not much expectation that he would go far because of how tough the bracket is, even though he is a ridiculously good and unorthodox player, and has a unique style to his gameplay that many players won't be used to, but boy, did he exceed those expectations. After smashing through the first three rounds of the six round winners bracket, he played vs and won convincingly 2-0 over the WCS United States of America runner up zerg Daisuki in WBR4, and narrowly lost to GosuIcecream (oGsIllusion) in close games 2-1 on the main stage in WBR5.

Right after winning game one versus Icecream.


After that, he was dropped down to the losers bracket round 6, where he played coLRyze and defeated him 2-0, and then his biggest upset of the tournament, defeated EG's newest Zerg Suppy 2-1 in close games.

In LBR8, one round before Championship bracket, he was defeated 2-0 by FXOasd. Even though the score was 2-0, MaSsan showed he can keep up with the best of the best, by showing good games.

GIVE THIS MAN THE RECOGNITION HE DESERVES, check out the bracket on Liquidpedia http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2012_MLG_Pro_Circuit/Summer/Championship/Open_Bracket

I hope he finds a way to support himself (or maybe get picked up by a team with a house). Impressive results for a homeless player lol.

He bought the pass under AnDa's name, so it showed up as AnDa when MLG reported the scores and stuff, but his actual ID is MaSsan :D

Well thanks a lot for pointing it out, otherwise we would've just thought he was Anda. Soooooo, has he signed a progaming contract yet?

I did not realize he is homeless. Someone get this man a home!

get him in Ministry of Win? Sounds like a good place to live ;D
Micro at its best is like an elegant dance between two people trying to achieve a similar end.

Really cool to see no named players rise and be recognised by going on such runs in big tournaments.
Hopefully we can see much more from him in upcoming MLG and other tounaments.
Cool
