Are you *FREAKING* kidding me? No one posted *THIS* yet?



Most epic Reach moment in my opinion.

Once I actually had a dream that Reach came to my city and gave me some cool korean iphone-like device. I know, abstract, but that was kinda cool. And yeah, it's kinda weird that I'm having dreams about progamers.

I belive Mantoss was actually a name coined by the foreigner fans of progaming.


He's known as the "Hero Protoss," a name which AFAIK solidifed after he was the only Protoss player to qualify for the Ro16 in IOPS OSL.

There was also more than one instance in which he was the only Protoss player to make it to the Ro8 of a Starleague.



Basically, when all other toss players failed, Reach was the man to count on to insure a Protoss presence would be felt.
Even though this Proleague bullshit has been completely bogus, I really, really, really do not see how Khan can lose this. I swear I will kill myself if they do. - nesix before KHAN lost to eNature

On a somewhat related note...

For tournaments, why are the phrases "Pride of War," "Overcome All," and "Victory after Victory" used for T, Z, and P players respectively? Are these based off Korean reporting or are they a TL tradition?


It was first used used in the 2005 SO1 OSL Opening.

Yeah, it seems like most people have forgotten the original reason he was called Mantoss and that was due to his muscular build, which is rather uncommon among progamers. His nicknames related to his gameplay are Spirit Toss (beacuse of the mass suiciding Zealots) and Shaman Toss (due to his impeccable use of Storms).

Spirit is Pusan.

Reach also has a quote along the lines of "A true man's pride is in his Zealots" or something. Too lazy to look it up, someone will probably post it soon.

That's by Garimto I think.

It sounds better than HeroToss.

Guys - I'm pretty sure the question is referring to the origin/coinage of the nickname. The post blitzkrieg mentions is the earliest I've ever seen.

Koreans usually don't look strangers in the eyes. Atleast thats true for gamers, most don't have very good social skills.

At MBC Trials I raped some terran round one. I was feeling pumped and ready for round 2 vs. Reach.

I was then walking towards him and he was walking towards me and we made eye contact, he didn't look away, neither did I. I felt the power of the mantoss. There was nothing I could do. He was Reach. I was the first one to break the eye contact. I knew what was coming.

Mother fucker raped me twice with ease.


This is one of my favorite TL posts. Yes he is a great player, but I think the nickname arose from this post.

Eugh. The stuff about zealot pride is from the 2004 EVER 3rd/4th place interview; Reach is commenting on his win on Requiem with 2gate [game 2, I think?]
