Gogo Klazart, you transferred your love for starcraft to many people, including me. We know you'll be back, you know you'll be back, if only for sc2, if only for savior.

Good luck man!

Not the best analysis in his commentaries by far, but I loved them and they were the reason I came back to Starcraft.

I still find it funny how North Americans "can't get over his voice". There is so little diversity in accents in Canada and America, partly because it's so much less cosmopolitan. They have Asian American and African American and various other types of American and that's it.

I have found out about competitive starcraft thanks to him, I'll always respect and like him.
Thank you Klazart, and best of luck.

He was indeed one of the reasons why I got into Starcraft. Haven't watched his VOD's in quite a while, but he still holds a special place in my heart (what a gay way to express it). Sad to see him go.

No hes not wrong Klaz is not a "legendary figure in E-sports," Boxer and Savior are legendary figures, Klazart is a widely known (you either like him or dislike him it seems) English commentator.

I personally respect all the things he has done, and all the people he has brought to broodwar but i wasn't ever much of a fan of his commentaries, I could never get past his voice and the random mistakes.

It was not the fact that he wrote that he is not legendary that I'm replying about. It's the fact that he replies in a thread that is a tribute to klazart which is obviously liked by many and all Louder does is to flame him and say:

He just talks too fast and gets most of his analysis completely wrong

That sounds so bitter to me. He cant let a guy get a little credit?

even tough we all could agree he might not be the best commentator out there, his passion for the game and his effort were remarkable, good luck in the future Klazart, your aportation to the foreign community has been really big and for that we owe you.

I don't like listening to his "game knowledge" or "analysis" but when I started playing BW on Iccup, it was because I was watching his vods...then I got into SC2GG...then combat-ex... until about 6 months ago when I realized he sucked......ANYWAY

peace out klaz

Bummer. I know there was some issues with his game knowledge, but the guy was very good at getting people into the game and indeed, he was the reason I started watching professional SC or even knew about a pro scene
