And you say he is fucking the community??? Then I must say you all got pretty owned.. (raped, ayye??) Anyways, it's really retarded. If that statement is based on the fact that you said in your comment, that he would tell his viewers to watch stylish and day9 to learn starcraft - your brain must be really far up your ass.
You are improving your own skills by playing.
Your skills would improve even more by watching a competent player.
Sure, someone might praise a tutor for raising a student's grade from failing to barely passing, but if there are better tutors out there who could raise the student's grade to above average, why would anyone use the first tutor? Because he has good advertisements? That's combatEx.
His students may not be failing, but they are still getting shortchanged. And then they keep coming here and being all proud of how combatEx has helped them not fail. "Now I'm getting Ds instead of Fs and it's all because of combatEx! He's a great tutor stop shitting on him!"
Dude...
Comparing Combat-ex and other Vod-posters is like comparing South Park with Fox-news. When I watch South Park, I watch it because it's entertaining, not because I learn stuff from it. And that is exactly why I rather watch Combat. Starcraft isn't science, IT IS ENTERTAINMENT!
I think this video is part of Combat-Ex's grand plan to make his 4000 subscribers to hate on TL. There will be more people like Barbapapa who will register just to defend Combat-Ex.

And here I thought the Korean proscene was where to go for Starcraft entertainment. I mean the players get paid to play a video game in front of a live audience! They play at a level higher than anyone else in the world!
Thank you for opening my eyes and showing me that true Starcraft entertainment is actually watching combat-ex play at a C- level against D- players!!!!!!!

So that's what it's come to? You're standing up for him because he is entertaining? If he presented his videos as entertainment that would be great. But he acts like they are helpful. And newbs who don't know any better think they are. Anybody who watches him to get better is losing out. If you want entertainment that's great. But he's screwing anyone who watches to learn, and for someone who claims to be doing it to teach people, that's pretty crap.

Go watch games on gomtv.net with top pro gamers playing, commentated by tasteless and tell me combat-ex is more entertaining
And youre obviously disaggreeing with combat-ex himself, cause the main defense he has is that his vids are educational for noobs, not that he posts them just cuz they are entertaining
For all of those who are wondering why he has so many followers: Go to youtube and type in "starcraft zvp" now look at the results: it shows like 29 videos, 27 of them are combat-ex vids you do the math
excellent example of why his vids are so bad, some excellent quotes: "so even if youre like D, if you do this build, youre gonna beat me" (at least he admits hes bad) "yeah if youre noob,do this build, I highly recommend this (3hatch all in speedling build)" .. yeah because as a noob you really improve the most if you practice nothing but cheese. And of course a classic: "this is most effective against.. aeh fuck, aeh, a forge fast expand build, basically a bisu build" also quite nice how his opponent doesn't even try to scout after his first probe dies

People don't hate Combat for "Helping noobs". I mean, wtf, why would people hate him for that? People hate him for a few reasons:
1.) He "teaches" bad playing habits, and then makes the noob think what they are doing is good. People who actually want noobs to get better obviously would take issue with that. People like day9, or stylish, or Nony's old FPVODs, are much more helpful to newbs. Since they actually teach good playing habits.
2.) He abused. Aka cheated. That is the MAIN reason people hate him. Abusers are just one step down from hackers, in terms of how much hate they should get. If he starts play legit, he will get much less hate. Just because he "helps" noobs (see above), doesn't excuse him from cheating in a competive game, spitting in the face of all the other people who play legit. And he probably abused wayyyyy more than what he admitted to in his apology vid.
3.) I guess how he presents himself is another reason. He acts like he is a very good player, and when very good players see that, they are like "wtf, this kid sucks, how can he act like hes so good?" His videos aren't meant for people like that, but that doesn't mean they won't/can't watch them. Needs more humble imo.

Yeah, I guess abusing a ladder, when 99% of everyone else who plays it does it legit, isn't that bad at all. Those people working hard at getting better/improving their rank are just dumb, they should abuse too!
