Anyways I thought I'd just mention that I think Kas was an fast improving player/close to becoming a top player near the end of wc3 before sc2 came out, or at least becoming one of euro's top players. | ||

I hope and hope and hope that some day Warcraft IV will happen, and that it will come out before I turn 30. | ||

Also remind won a total of 4 battle.net ladder seasons, and had more zotac cup victories by a mile then any other player in wc3 history, his accomplishment list should be much longer, and almost anyone involved in Warcraft 3 would place him around 5th. | ||

None of the statements in your post are true. The accomplishments only include world championships and not minor $100 Zotac cups, other minor tournaments, or team leagues. Otherwise, every player's accomplishments would be a mile long. | ||

Still it is interesting. It looks to me that the EU SC2 scene is built quite substantially on the foundations of the EU WC3 scene, which itself was built on the BW scene (madfrog, didi8, tillerman) most of the early WC3 RoC top players were most likely Blizzard veterans from BW and WC2. Basically this is Blizzard's "Goodwill" era, which they have been squandering ever since. What I think is more interesting is; where is the new blood in the foreign scene? If bashing blizzard was a city, it'd be in Italy. | ||

Does he still play SC2? wife, children. he never played sc2 as fulltime as wc3. he tried for a brief period of time, but not becoming one of the best rapidly probably made him stop. still a dreamhack champion in my heart (sry HuK, that thaldarim wasnt the thaldarim you 2 were supposed to play - dat 3 building wall made you win dreamhack :O) | ||

Well LongWalk is the best US player ever, he consistently did better then any other US player, sadly he grew out of video games. He post on WCReplays from time to time still. | ||

The dude mastered the second gayest strat ever invented aka human massing expos with towers and killing with tanks (Moon was the very first victim) - Rainbow: tried out Open Seasons under LiberoPrime. Fastest wc3 ever with 400-500apm in 50 mins games. Dubbed the bandit-human for wearing a bandit-like headband. - GoStop: Moon's sweet sweet next-door best friend. Dubbed the Nerubian King for being the first effective fiend user with style (screw PhilBot). Tried out Open Season but failed - DayFly: play a lot during beta & early WoL. The most legendary Korean imo. He didnt only dominate RoC, early TFT but also unveiled the map scandal and brought Warcraft to China. Oh and he dated Cassandra before Grubby xD did I miss anyone :p FreeDom.WeRRa : Extremely hyped NE with very strong mirror matchup and weak NE vs UD, who kept eliminating Moon during his prime from WCG/ESWC korea qualifiers. He played in the GSL open season 2 I think. He was the most hyped during 2005-2006 season in wc3 (IIRC) MakaPrime : Amateur wc3 player. Played as A.One)Townhall, and even participated in WC3L for one season I think. Best achievement was Code S RO8. I'll post more if I remember. | ||

He post on WCReplays from time to time still. In terms of pure achievements, you have to put ShortRound above LongWalk Even Wizard was a better player IMO. Of course its hard to compare since they played in different time periods, but I would rate a 2nd place and 4th place in WCG grand finals over most other achievements. http://www.sk-gaming.com/player/1182-Shortround Don't think any American player can match that. | ||

I don't understand why monk would arbitrarily pick out only the players that dabbled in SC2 for a WC3 power rank, given that half of them have already retired from SC2 or play in total obscurity. By that logic one could also add TeD and FoV for most likely having played some SC2 ladder games at some point in their life. I think monk was just anxious to write more power ranks, it must be addictive. | ||

Sort of like if you find out your favourite cs:go player started in CS:S instead of CS1.6 I never followed WC3 but I did follow BW, maybe its just me. | ||
