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!

I would have zero problem with him if he would make it very clear in each one of his vods that he isn't the best source for learning, and if you wish to improve yourself refer to x, y and z. As opposed to advertising all around that he is the best. Well that and of course, if he wasn't dishonest ><

I'm not necessarily defending Combat, but he doesn't really say he's the best. If he was really that dishonest he'd stretch his ICCUP rank further and say he was A+.

It doesn't make it any better that he abused to B- and now says he's B- level in his FPVODs. But he doesn't say he's A+ either.

When I did watch his FPVODs, yes he did brag a lot, but he also said "I'm not that good" quite a bit.

And I do agree his FPVODs aren't really that good for learning because he doesn't offer much strategical insight and doesn't really explain what builds are good on what maps, or even how the build works or when to make what buildings.

I also agree with the criticism that Combat-EX should not be playing D/D- players when recording his FPVODs. It gives viewers the impression that he's REALLY GOOD and also gives them the sense that all his strategies will work when they only tend to work if your opponent is WAY worse than you.

And just about any decent player can find a really really bad player and use any strategy they want and still win.

Heck, even at pro level we see some ridiculous stuff being done solely for the purpose of humiliation. Like Bisu making a fleet of scouts against Hwasin in (I believe it was) Daum OSL 07.

Rofl I came into this thread thinking, "Wow people on TL.Net are still bashing Combat? Good grief." But as I read every page in this thread(some tl;dr) I think this is about right.

He says people on TL.Net are bashing him and flaming but this was alot more civilized(or w/e >_>) than I thought it would be. I thought people would just say "OMG HE ABUSED HE SUCKS DICK GO KILL UR SELF" but its not thankfully. I think he's sorta blowing this out of proportion

The most people "support" him I think is really I think there just being blind fanboys. This is true on SC2GG a little(I've been a member there for a while so I'm not flaming SC2GG at all) but defending with "He takes time to post videos and help noobs". If I took 10 minutes out of my day I could post a 3 minute video on how to defend a 4 pool too. Mmm ok thats not fair yeah, because you post alot of games doesn't mean your allowed to be instantly forgiven.

Ok I dunno alot of what I wrote I just wrote what came to mind and when I try typing that out it turns into mumbo jumbo.

For what its worth:

LEAVE COMBAT ALONE

Oh God, this is sad. I must now go out and "prove my worth to Combat-Ex!" The person who recorded this video cannot properly articulate a complete thought.

I played this guy on ICCUP last night. He proxi gated, gg'd, then begged for win, then built pylons in hidden corners and disconnected at the end.

It's kinda sad because for all the work he puts into pretending he is good, for as long as he has been playing you really have to show a lack of talent to still not be a decent B- player

Goood that video is just too much. Combat-ex why do you even care what other people think of you, people you haven't met irl.

I'm also curious if anyone has that much interest as to hear you ramble about whether or not you cheat. It's not like you're a korean progamer

I don't care that he sucks or that he helps newbies, I just hate that he cheats, and that he acts like an egotistical douche in his videos. As Mani said, if Combat just ditched the obsession with representing himself like a progamer then he a) wouldn't have to abuse to reach some mythical rank and b) wouldn't get all the hate from us. It's really very simple.

Um, what? This is kind of insulting. The vast majority of regular sc players will never reach B- unless they do nothing but train all day.

The vast majority of players don't aspire to have the respect and admiration of the masses the way CombatEx does. This guy wants to be respected for his ability to play starcraft so bad that he will cheat lie and deceive others. But pretty much anyone who is any good at video games and puts as much time into SC as CombatEx does (playing very regularly and obviously trying to be good for what, 2-3 years now?) would be a B level player.

LOL I just received a lengthy hate PM of some random guy about how awesome Combat is and how gay I am for not being a fanboi. I only read the first 2 sentences and deleted it, because it sounded like a 10 year old nerd raging.

I don't really know what else to say, other than this is so hilarious ^^ Just look at the people who admit being "fans" of him.. Look at those, in this thread, in hate PMs, in youtube comments. Just look at them. Wish I were half as articulate in english as some of you. Because I really don't know how to say this in a civilized manner: This is just too ridiculous...

"Well at least, he is good at building a fan base"???

I'm just here in this thread trying to argue against 1) cheating/dishonesty, 2) bragging, 1+2) cheating so you can brag, 3) teaching "poisonous" (as Artosis says) strategies to newbies. The only adult replies here are those saying "Well at least, he is good at building a fan base". But I'm sorry, after what I've experienced I don't really think that weights as much
Great people talk about ideas. Average people talk about things. Small people talk about other people.
