Cloud, can you back up what you said about TLO with proof?

I can, but I don't think he deserves to have his whole reputation destroyed. His life is pretty sad as it is right now.


He is looking pretty good lately in the sc2 scene.


This is true. He just finished second in his group at IEM Katowice. Good run by him for TeamLiquid.

I also have a question to you as an experienced player: Do you think the switch you do is also viable for non-pro gamers? I feel like improving with Terran as a race is mouch harder in comparisment with improving as Zerg or Protoss. I don't want to start a flame war on this, I just want to know your opinion on this topic.

Switching from Terran to Protoss is going to be very easy. All you need is the patience to get PvP and PvZ but the mechanics you learned playing Terran will stay there and help you be a way better player than anyone who started as Protoss.


I think we might see a lot of switches from Terran to Protoss with HotS, if Blizzard fucks up Terran design (as they're on a good way right now) with it. Protoss is really not that hard to learn, if you played terran before at a decent level.
I like that you speak so open about your thoughts and oppinions. I really enjoy to read your blogs. But I fear this might make it more difficult for you, to find a team. I hope you can fulfill your dreams with pro gaming. GL!

cloud nice read, I always trought that you are one of the not so nice guys among the progamers. But know this read changed my mind a lot, never ever read another of your blogs maybe that's why I had such an impression. Apart from that i'm truly stunned from your opinion of TLO, he seems such a nice guy. 24 hours streaming marathons for charity, all his problems with the hands all this love from the community... but maybe you are right. i've met so many more fake people all over the world. i never liked tlo, but now i definetely don't like him at the moment

wish you good luck

Just my honest opinion. I play protoss since the beginning of SC2 ( season 1). I have my up and downs ( more downs because i started my job training last summer) but i am on constant top 8 master level ( not proud of it i just want to give the people some knowlege so they get my point).

Do you really think: "When i played terran it is easy to switch to protoss because i have sick mechanics and i kinda learn the other matchups". I can tell you now that you will be frustrated, will be frustrated with the way you have to play protoss on higher level. First of all you have to gamble all day long to make your strats going out perfect( for example no scouting PvZ to get the fastest immortal all in timing). Even if you cant die on fast timings in PvP (in HOTS OFC) it is still the same shit with 2 bases because Phoenix>Robo>blink>phoenix and all the stuff that happens in a normal "macro" PvP is that someone keeps his lead from the beginning. PvT is of course "easy" for higher level protosses when the terran goes for nogas FE because its figured out "how" greey you can be till the 10 minute mark (medivac timing). When he goes for gas the guessing can start again. What i just want to say is that winning as Protoss is gambling 70% of the time and when the gamble pays of you have a huge lead against every race. No fun to play this race fulltime. Guess why Socke and Hasu dont play all that much, because they´re have so much fun with their race??? I dont think so.

BTW this is no balance whine, just my opinion why you shouldn´t switch to Protoss.

I actually really like honest people, but your kind of 'honesty' isn't really helping anyone.

If you want to talk bad about people who did smth that upset you I'm totally fine with it, but if you open your mouth, open it completly.

Nothing but random hate will be the result otherwise.

e.g. tell me what TLO did to you, because right now you just look like a sore loser who calls out a player to be 'bad and fake' just to get stomped by him the next time you meet.

The same goes for the rest of the german scene: You probably don't even realize how much you profited by Take and the german 'gang' in your e-sports career.
Take gave you a possibility to cast and therefore get media exposure and if all those EPS guys would be so mean they wouldn't have helped you to get into the german scene at all, i mean you are semi-living in Germany for quite a while know and you can't speak much german yet ( at least you always cast in english ).

Feel free to defend yourself, if you give me proof for your hate I'm ok with being wrong

awesome blog Carlo! <3

I cracked up just knowing you cracked up writing that penis blog LOL. And btw I love the summary of points you list near the end. Though I don't have much as experience as you do as a progamer, I can definitely already see a good amount of what you stated as true so far.

I.... think posting nasty, unsupported comments about TLO + other personalities is both unprofessional and detrimental to the game we love.

If an issue arises, deal with it, personally. There is nothing to gain from turning people against other players/personalities, because, honestly, no one is perfect and TLO, Day[9], Sheth etc. have done NOTHING (to our knowledge) except be cordial/kind.

People, don't listen to ONE GUY'S account of other people, think/judge for yourself.

ClouD seriously how can you think it's a good idea to just throw stuff like this out there (the TLO things)? Seriously, shit-throwing like this is exactly what this community doesn't need at the moment. Deal with issues like these in private instead of here. It's just plain retarded to think this is a good idea. Loads of people will think bad of TLO now just because you wrote this (even if you don't have anything to back it up with...). You said he didn't deserve getting his reputation ruined. How stupid can someone be? Do you actually think this doesn't hurt TLO's reputation? lol

In all honesty, and I'm not saying this as a hater (I've actually though you've been quite a funny guy from time to time)

you should probably focus more on the game than writing a fucking essay about your dick.

Dear god, how can you put all "germans" in one pot, TaKe is TaKe and the players are single persons for themselves, no matter what nationality they have. He was living here 2 years, and lets go for 2 years to italy and then cast for the guys down there in italian gogo, show me your skill .... The sad problem is that the fail is not at him, it´s the german community since at least 70% of them suck at english, a language they learn in school and still fail at it . ClouD said nothing about hate, i guess he never would say that, you either like or dislike ppl for some reasons.
As he said, he had a great time in Germany with ups and downs and believe me he is a really grateful guy and knows what TaKe did for him.

TLO: the most fake guy in the scene. He never did anything to me but I disrespect him so much because I know a couple stories that would never make me feel anything close to respect for him as a person. He is also extremely arrogant in real life and disliked by most people. Again I have no real grudge against him and he really did nothing to me but these kind of fake people are the ones I detest the most. He's not the only one though, there's some others who are like this.

Glad to hear you're doing well, ClouD.

One question: what was the first that you ate after returning to Italy?

edit: I miss Italy.
