Because of Teamliquid and a thread I saw here roughly a month ago, I now enjoy watching a show for little girls called My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I couldn’t tell you why I enjoy this show, nor why there are so many others like me. Fortunately, that’s not what I’m here to do. While watching this series, I have noticed that many of the ponies show rather strong parallels with our favourite progamers! I understand that many of you are not familiar with the ponies but if I have done my job right, it shouldn’t matter. :D

Disclaimer: There are going to be My Little Pony (MLP) spoilers in this writeup. If this concerns you, be wary.

Hot_Bid vs DJ Pon-3
+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading] [image loading]

DJ Pon-3 is not a major character
Hot_Bid is secretly not an actual progamer (Shocking, I know)
DJ Pon-3 is very clearly a badass
Hot_Bid is a total boss (and is funny as shit)
They look very similar


ThorZaIN vs Twilight Sparkle
+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]
[image loading]

Twilight is very smart and likes to do a lot of research on something before going into it.
ThorZaiN managed to win TSL 3 with a lot of smart, specially prepared strategies.
Twilight was sent to Ponyville by Princess Celestia to meet ponies and learn more about friendship.
ThorZaiN was sent to Mouz where he got better practice partners and could learn more about StarCraft.
Twilight is very modest even though her powers are really great.
ThorZaiN is Swedish (and his powers are really great).

NaNiwa vs Trixie
+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]
[image loading]

Trixie is one of the most magical ponies in Equstria!
Naniwa is one of the best Starcraft players
Trixie is a BM asshole (Source)
Naniwa used to be a BM asshole
Trixie is very cocky
(Source)

Naniwa is very confident in his skills
Trixie kicked everyones ass until being defeated by Twilight
Naniwa kicked everyones ass until being defeated by Thorzain (That worked out much better than I planned on!

iNcontroL vs Applejack
+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading] [image loading]

Applejack is always very honest
iNcontroL always speaks his mind
Applejack likes apples
iNcontroL probably like apples (a lot of apples)
Applejack kicks the apple trees to make the apples fall out
iNcontroL can pull apple trees out of the ground and run around with them
(Source)


IdrA vs Rainbow Dash
+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading] [image loading]

Rainbow Dash is really good at stunt flying (only pony to do sonic rainboom)
(Source)

IdrA is really good at Starcraft (One of the most consistent GSL players when he was there)
Rainbow Dash seems to crash into a lot of shit
IdrA crashes into mental blockades and loses games he shouldnt (notably at MLG, with HuK and MMA)
Rainbow Dash flies high
IdrA too.
(Source)


+ Show Spoiler +
Edit: Mad props to TL member "Bags" for finding this sucker. Sound familiar?


Liquid`Tyler vs Fluttershy
+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading] [image loading]

Fluttershy is very quiet and shy
Tyler is very chill and non-shit-giving
Fluttershy can flip out and scare even big monsters
(Source)

Tyler can flip out and show some nerdrage OR flip out and duck up big scary monsters (SeleCT in MLG Columbus).
Fluttershy is not a tree
(Source)

Tyler is also not a tree
(Source)


Sheth vs Pinkie Pie
+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading] [image loading]

Pinkie Pie talks a lot
Sheth says a lot of things on his stream
Pinkie Pie is very happy
Sheth also seems quite jolly + super well-mannered
Pinkie Pie likes pulling pranks
Sheth has a troll side (Source)

Day[9] vs Rarity
+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading] [image loading]

Rarity is very concerned about beauty
Day[9] is mad hot
(Source)

Rarity is very nice and puts the needs of other ponies first
Day[9] is very nice and puts the progression of ESPORTS before himself.
Rarity has pretty strong magic but we dont see a ton of it
Day[9] is probably pretty good at Starcraft but we dont get to see it

BoxeR vs Princess Celestia
+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading] [image loading]

Princess Celestia presides over all of Equestria, serving as the leader of the ponies from a distant land.
BoxeR presides over all of ESPORTS, serving as the Emperor of Starcraft players from a distant land (Korea)
All the ponies know of Princess Celestia and respect her very much.
All the nerds know of BoxeR and respect him very much (even his bullshit all-ins).
Princess Celestia is very powerful but doesn’t show it often.
BoxeR is a very strong player sometimes (TSL series with Sen) but has occasional bursts of awfulness (GSL S2 group with San/Nestea/Ensnare).
+ Show Spoiler +
For anyone who saw my little teaser in my recent mini-blog: My original Princess Celestia was indeed Nazgul but I decided BoxeR was the better fit.


So there you have it! Most of the more important ponies and their Starcraft equivalents. I'm glad I got to share my favourite uses of the internet (TL/ Starcraft and MLP, interestingly enough both equine-centric). Maybe the few clips I've provided will hook one of you! :D

Tyler is indeed not a tree. I don't think he wishes to be one though. I cracked up at that. And rarity is my favorite, just like day9. Very good job!

Sadly, I knew all of these ponies after playing with my 3 year old daughter. At least now I can envision them as Progamers.

Need to get Nightmare in there somewhere. Lotta potential with that one.

I dont know if I should really be admitting this but I havent actually finished the season yet. Only on like episode 23.

Edit: This meaning I dont know Nightmare yet.

Edit 2: Whoops. In the TL thread where I learned about the show, someone said to start with episode 3 to get a better idea of the show. Apparently I never went back and saw episodes 1 + 2, which is apparently where Nightmare actually is.

Here's some random fun. :D
That highdraeyedra pic rocks.
Blogs like this are great.

A build is not a guess, an estimation or a hunch, a feeling, or a foolish intuition. A build is a dependable, unwavering, unarguably accurate, portrayer of your ambition.

LOL that woulda been pretty sick. Though Jaehoons looking pretty good lately (8-2 in his last 10). I'm feelin Hyuk. But it'd be a project and a half to count who has done more stupid shit in the past. :D:D

At first I was like "nah, day[9] isn't like rarity."

Then I imagined "No. That is NOT imbalanced. THIIIIIISSSS IS IMBALANCED." I can see it.

If idra is rainbow dash, a bunch of his fanboys definitely are scootaloo (no disrespect; I like idra). Edit- an day[9] certainly has his spikes mad in love with him too.

Heh, thats actually pretty good. Derpy seems like a 6 pooler. And the MMA thing is pretty cute as well! But I already have an okay setup with Trixie/Twilight vs Naniwa/Thorzain. :D
