I like old-schoolers
Old-school guys had characters, cuz there weren't so many starcrafters back then.



Long time ago, somebody from teamliquid translated this for me, so I'll try to write up what i remember

#1 It's about Junwi and how he doesn't practice with anyone. But Chojja says that he practised with him and Silent_control goes like "wtf? and with me you dont?" or smth...

#2 JJu is smelling Kingdom and saying its a smell of a champion (Kingdom had won previous OSL)

#3 Reach telling something about his swollen fingers or smth, and Gundam says "I had my fingers broken", dont really remember...

#4 Boxer is watching his own interview (?) and Chojja says "Lie! Lie!" Boxer replies with "I never lie on an interview", later adds "you're just jelous, cuz i beat you without practise" or smth

#5 Silent_control bullying Junwi and asking to stay and practise with him

#6 They are desiding who has to go and get Ha Risoo's autograph (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harisu) by rock,paper,scissors. Zeus repeating "i'll kill you if you dont!" and then loses himself

(Z)YellOw

I started playing Starcraft when I was 17. Yellow and Boxer were the top players at the time. I was a Zerg user so naturally Yellow just became my number one player. Watching his games were amazing... Unless he was getting bunker rushed by Boxer haha. Poor guy...

and

(Z)ChoJJa

Well actually I'd say ChoJJa eventually took my number one spot over Yellow. ChoJJa seemed much fast than Yellow, and his play style was different. I don't know what else to say really. His odd game style, and his speed really made him my favorite player.



But other than those two guys.... Meh, no other progamer has really caught my eye. Excluding some of the very obvious, TheMarine, Boxer, Nada, and Xellos. (Never liked any Toss players though.)
Not bad for a cat toy.

But I've never really been a fan of that many players, mainly because outside of the game they all seem the same. Practice 8 hours a day, sleep, repeat. I've read as many interviews as I can and the pros all seem really... I'm not sure how to describe it, but they don't say that much significant stuff, while still being really polite. It's alright I guess, but I've always wanted more.


Agreed, it's pretty disappointing when you find out that the two players in the finals of some MSL have already played eachother like 50 times as practice. Firebathero and go.go are marketable personalities, however, and I think they help the e-sport as a whole.

(T)XellOs - XellOs was one of the first pro gamers who appealed to me in the way he plays and acts. I think a lot of the interest came with the NG documentary which was based not entirely but heavily on XellOs.

(T)BoxeR - BoxeR, need I say more?

(P)Reach - Mantoss. I just enjoy watching his games wholeheartedly, they're so badass and manly.

(P)Nal_rA - This was an easy choice for me, his games are often very interesting. Particularly the Nal_rA vs. BoxeR matches.

(Z)Kwanro - I think he has potential and I was really cheering for him back when he was relatively new. I'd still like to see him do something big.
