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.

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.

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.

Look, there will be that like him and people that hate him. 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.

Yes. TT1 is a scumbag cheater for hacking, and we banned him from TSL for it. 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.
