Oh no another combat-ex thread But, i have a question to tl-net. I'm a relatively new guy here and recently i saw alot of bashing on combat-ex and i want to know why everybody hates combat-ex. He puts videos to help people who arent good at starcraft. Its the same thing as helping people on the strategy section. Yes, he has abused but that doesn't put away the fact that he has put in hundreds of hours to help people who arent good at this game.
Just my 2 cents. feedback wanted.

I personaly don't hate him...its 50/50 on my list, was like 70/30 on good side but just becouse of his bad actions he got now neutral in my opinion...

he's a newb that thinks hes B level when he's really around C C+ level, his apology video is a load of shit and hes abused alot more games then that

There's nothing wrong about thinking your good. Why not just let him be. Hes putting enormous amount of time to help people play the game.

To try and sum it up as quickly as possible: Combat-EX released FPVODs in attempt to help people get better at SC. In doing so, he created a huge fanboy mob of people thinking Combat-EX was "such an amazing player", and really gosu. The thing is, most of those people were D/D- players. When TL discovered him, they realized that he was a complete phony, playing people infinitely worse than him, winning, and teaching badly. So many people laughed at him for him pretending he was so good at SC, even though he really wasn't. Keep in mind he kept stating he was a B-/B level player. Then people released screenshots, as HuskyTheHusky posted, of him begging for free wins, thus showing that he isn't even the skill level he pretends to be, and in fact much worse, and even pathetic. + Show Spoiler +P.S. He thinks Bisu build is forge expand
EDIT: Thinking you're good is nothing bad. But flaunting a fake skill level that you don't have is just wrong. Not to mention despite the effort he put in, they are often not even that educational, except at a VERY low level of play. Once you get past D, then they are useless.
For example, he says often that him having 800/800 is good macro because the ratio is similar. That is not good macro! Also, a lot of the things he does are faulty build orders, and are usually not applicable to higher level play, unless you are much better than your opponents.
EDIT2: Not to mention he is so arrogant about everything that he does. "I'm kinda famous"

sorry for double post.
Yeah i read that. But he has admtited to abusing and confessed it, so there is no reason to put it against him anymore. Do you guys still hate TT1 for hacking? I have no more examples to give and i am not putting tt1's name down, but it was the only example i came to think of.
Btw in no means am i supporting combat-ex.
|
noobs, he's not doing it to help you, he's doing it to gain attention.
|
He has abused on ICCup, played against a lot of D players and makes FPVods of the games. When he plays a good player, he asks for free wins. He does try to help newer players, but doesn't give that much strategic advice.

This isnt the lightest way of putting it but, sadly, it is 100% how i see it. Look at his posts, his apology video, just the way he acts in game... he's doing it all for attention. He tries to wear a mask to show that he's helping noobs, but really deep down inside, whether he knows it or not, its all for attention.
Thats how I see it anyway... am not saying that I'm right, just the feeling I get.

The reason i created this thread was for some insight why people hated him. Now that i see what kind of a scumbag he is. But before, i had no clue what all this bashing was coming from. Please get rid of your ignorance, i have said several times that i do not support this guy. In no means am i creating this thread to rally support for this guy.

TeamLiquid is notoriously hateful towards people who are a) unjustifiably egotistical and b) cheaters. Thus, its completely understandable that he gets bashed a ton on these forums. What's wrong with that? We're allowed to express our opinions on our forum, especially when they are justified. It's Combat or his fans who feel the need to come on here and defend him.
You could ask the same question to him: why does he need TL to like him? There's just no way that's happening given how he acts and what he's done.

He used to be banned every time he posted here, but recently we've allowed him to post. It doesn't mean we support or condone what he did. When someone cheats I believe there should be a long, long road to forgiveness. If you're forgiving hackers a month after they do it, you're spitting in the face of all the legit players. Honest, fair competition should be the highest standard everyone holds and anyone in violation of that deserves all the hate they can get.
Yes, this goes for Dino, Spades, LastShadow, Kawaii, and every single one of the hacker and abuser douchebags.

ya i dont really think he cares at all if anyone learns anything, hes just doing it to make it seem likes hes good or something. Its kinda like a lastshadow thing where he just brags so much to everyone and constantly tells everyone hes good so that some people will believe it and tell others then soon enough alot of people think hes some top tier player when he really cant pass C rank without abuse.

Wow... epic post is epic. I completely agree with the stuff you've said and it gives good insight to the majority of people on Team Liquid. Cheating is completely stupid, its something you do to get through the campaign, not against legit players on ICCUP. On top of that he used the cheating to try and make himself look good... just not my kind of attitude 
Edit: Meant to say that I wont post about this anymore, I've said what I wanted to

"hi this is combat-ex bringing you another smurfTLnet account. "
|
i think the people on this forum jumping on combat-ex are rather desperate or jealous themselves.
we know he's not that good. we don't watch his videos. he may beg for wins, and get them, but as far as the scum of starcraft goes, hackers are 1000000x worse in my opinion. once a hacker always a hacker.
i won't say too much more, as i don't want to be banned for my opinion again.

Mostly since it's hard to remember when it was that they hacked. 4years ago? 6years ago? Dont really know about nada hehe.

Everyone does stupid shit when they're young, especially ages 13-16ish. Lots of hormones are running, people are self-conscious, desperate to belong etc etc etc. I've never hacked, but there's lots of things I did at that age that I would hate to see an adult do. I don't think there's anyone who made it thru that age without doing anything stupid. Whether it was limited to hurting themselves, or whether it hurt other people. People definitely change.

How is hacking on battle.net any worse than abusing on a respected ladder?

lol hacking on bnet = people bored. abusing on iccup is completely different. egotistical people are just so ugh, i remember watching one of his vods and hes like, "oh hes good but hes not that good, series is tied 2-2" ......WTF? how can you bash someone whos playing a friendly match with you?

Yes, this goes for Dino, Spades, LastShadow, Kawaii, and every single one of the hacker and abuser douchebags. This is the most intelligent thing I've read in a while.
Guys like testie and trek, who cheated and then followed up their apologies by playing fair for long periods of time, should be forgiven. They also proved themselves multiple times at big-time offline events, and became productive members of the community. Anyone who doesn't put in the same kind of time to prove their sincerity should still be an outsider, plain and simple. I'm all for second chances, but hacking/cheating undermines the fair competition we hold dearly. The foreign scene for the most part has been without prizes (bwcl, wgtcl for example), so you're playing for the sake of competition. When the playing field isn't level, everything is pointless.
On topic, I had no idea who this combat guy is, but he's a real winner. My favorite part is definitely the MSN chat line where he states something like, "I'm good vs D players and suck vs A+ players." What a coincidence, combat, ME TOO!

From my short and limited 26 years of experience in life, selfishness is something you are born with. It is genetic. It never changes as people grow and learn. The only thing that changes is that some people realize being selfish gives them a bad image, so once they mature they will try to fake it in front of others to look good. But deep inside they will still act selfish whenever they have the chance to go unnoticed.
People like Combat-ex are incorrigible. He doesn't post videos to help others. He post videos to show off.

he did not fuck up his opponent but begged for wins? thats a huuuuge difference. i couldnt give more of a fuck what a C player is getting his wins from, but i do care a lot what my direct opponent is doing.

There are too many idiots and douchebags in this world to spend your time worrying about any single one of them. Who cares? Worry about your own problems, not about Combat-EX.

what's funny is that had meadowlands agreed and combat tried to post the video, he would've had to deal somehow with the whole replays-with-text thing...

At least hackers have to do slight work for their win.
Also he deserves to be bashed for being an idiot. The guy put a replay pack up with some of the games he cheated in. What a moron.
