THIS

...and IU

En Taro Sayle. You probably never heard of me unless you're one of the BW regulars but I thought I'd include all of you lovely Liquidians. It's a bit difficult to say this after so much time spent here and meeting so many awesome people, but something dark has happened this friday that drastically changed the course of my life. As a result, the Stratos you knew may be on TeamLiquid no more.

I'm going to need your help here to decide what comes next, but first let me say a few words and explain things.. Unless you want to skip to the decision making.



Whatever it will be, my fellow Terrans, it has been my pleasure. Please take good care of PianO hyung for me. Don't give him too much shit for his TvP and cherish his bio. Spread the word of the Fishiking and buy Mind a cool new hat. Sharp may suck but he's one of the most passionate and hardest working players which is something I always appreciated. sSak loves IU and he shall always remain in my heart. Feed Mong well.

To the Zerg scum and the Random warriors, I don't really have anything to say to you but we can all agree that ZerO is a qtie and deserves only love.

+ Show Spoiler [To fellow IU appreciators~] +

Now. On Friday I discovered my entire life has been one of a horrendous lie. While I came to these lands with the heart of a zealous Protoss warrior, I was soon swayed by the evil cult of ToSsGirL and I abandoned Aiur, never looking back - until now.

I would have lived my life in oblivion but listening to IU's utmost sweet words, I had learned two days ago that she is recognized by her closest ally and friend as Dark Templar IU.


[image loading]
How did I not make this connection earlier?!

IU received this title for her silent, "invisible" support of her closest friend Yoo In-na. She has been referred to this way by Yoo In-na on multiple occasions and even introduced herself as such personally, as evidenced in the video below.


At 00:02:14, IU introduces herself as Volume's Dark Templar, unaware of the consequences.

She does this while special-DJ'ing Yoo In-na's, radio broadcast and the origins of the nickname have been confirmed from multiple sources.

As you can see, the Protoss spirit lives within IU. Naturally the decision to join and protect my mistress has been made without the slightest shadow of a doubt, but it isn't as easy, is it. This is where I turn to you.



Members of the Conclave and all Protoss brethren, I bow in regret and apologize for my rash judgement and betrayal. I failed you and I failed myself, breaking the code of justice and honor. Once again I want to stand proud and strive for glory in battle under IU's leadership.

Pleading my case, I realize I cannot return empty-handed. I prepared gift offering to our spiritual leader, Praetor Sayle.

Thus I present to you my latest, appropriately themed collection...

IU: Dark Edition




Now. I did state my intentions and I mean them: My heart says I need to re-join the Protoss master race. But what is really going to happen here? Will my Terran fellows let me go or will they imprison me? Will an unexpected Zerg raid overrun our encampent and defile us all? Will my Protoss brethren accept me back or will they leave me in my misery? You decide.

TL;DR: I betrayed the Protoss race by switching to Terran but recently discovered IU is nicknamed the Dark Templar. Every instinct says I need to switch this second but will I be allowed to?

In addition, here's something for all SBENIU enthusiasts.

Always had a Protoss icon from day 1 to today. Never looked back, never regretted my decision and IU confirms it.


I will consider your return to the Protoss brethren ONLY if you dare prove yourself a superior protoss control than I in a duel between powers of Psi Storms.

Or you can allow me to have ownership on IU. Your choice.

Sexy Korean KPOP girls, 5/5.

Returning to Protoss is even a question? ......

How successful has your proxy 2gating been as Zerg? Is BBS as fun as Proxy 2gating? I don't think so.

I think you know the answer.

Don't listen to this zerg's mouth! He has a zerg icon! His attempts to taint your way of thinking and life toward the zergs must be something to look out for.

For all we know, zergs are weak in numbers, weaker than ever, and more zergs fall prey to the likes of PianO and Bisu daily. Will you fall victim like every other zergs?

P.S. Not Korean KPOP girls, only 1 girl, forever IU.

IU has already been mind controlled, it's that obvious! Stratos, you must eliminate the dark archon and bring IU and her friend to our side! You also must resist the mind control in the process. Don't betray those who have fought with you for many years! If you do, I'm afraid that we can no longer be friends!

I was almost freaking out thinking you were "retiring" from TL. Don't do that to me, ever.

Cuz I will find you. And make you post again.

Let me ask you something, would a Zealot with no mouth ever be able to express his love to IU?

Be a man, be a terran, if she wants a girlfriend she could have a protoss, if she wants a MAN, be the terRAN.

Mantoss > "Manran". This is not up for discussion.
