Some of you might know this fella, Teoita, a Protoss brother and PvZ allin aficionado. He has been a forum member for quite a while and written several wonderful guides including The MAN Train and 2 Base Templar PvT, as well as writing a large chunk of "The MFing Bible of PvZ". He even wrote a short guide to beginning guitar and poured his heart out into a touching blog post about getting Friendzoned twice, but coming back to win it all anyway, which, ironically, best describes his PvZ. In essence, he was a Renaissance man, a person in touch with the age, up-to-date on the times, an adept thinker and player, the person we all wish we could be.


But his time has passed away



If you don't know anything about me, I've written several HotS beta articles:
Manifesto of Game Design: Individual Freedom
Manifesto of Game Design: Skill
Manifesto of Game Design: Positional Balance
The Warhound: Did We Make A Mistake?
Widow Mines, Tanks, And Space Control

as well as several notable blog posts ranging from late July to now:
SC2 Notes: Hellbat Nerf A Mistake
SC2 Notes: Trap's Aggressive PvT
SC2 Notes: sOs's Gas Steal PvP
SC2 Notes: Some PvP DT builds
SC2 Notes: Dear's Immortal All-in PvZ
SC2 Notes: Life's Transitional Play ZvP
SC2 Notes: Duckdeok's BS Blink All-in PvT
SC2 Notes: How To Plan A Strategy

and several others. On top of that, for TL Strategy, I've contributed by writing:

Stable PvP: Two Gate Safe FE
An upcoming guide on Immortal/archon/chargelot in PvP
and two upcoming game analyses from Red Bull Battlegrounds

and I've also helped several people out in The Protoss Help Me Thread

and, oh yeah, I also wrote a build order archive:
Build Order Project: 2013 SPL Playoffs


All in all, I guess my point is that: While Teoita has been an important and vital part of Team Liquid in the past and our favorite Protoss brother, his time has passed away. With his last major contribution coming out in August (almost 3 months ago), one has to wonder if he's lost his potency, his drive to write and benefit the community. Posts like this and this make me believe that perhaps Teoita's slipping. However, out of the ashes, a new Protoss hope arrives. If you vote me for, I promise continuous commitment and service during these times when our Protoss content is lackluster. I also promise to use my influence as the most awesome community member to promote perfect balance within SC2 -- I've got your number David Kim...no really, it's on my phone, ready to dial -- and provide SC2 with more viewers, players, and strategy potential. With support, I promise to make SC2 the eports powerhouse it used to be, to eclipse League of Legends and Dota 2 alike, and retake the spot as the dominant esport.


When you think of me, I hope you think:

By the way, there is only one true king of Immortals. Have you ever soultrained monk so much he asked "why are you doing this to me"?

That is about three steps too Meta.

Ask Artosis to host a show about it instead.

I think what he is saying is that Teoita is as stupid as a dragoon.
I'm not stupid, a marauder just shot my brain.
