Cool! I understand swedish very well and norwegian is just like swedish but spoken like with a pound of cheese in your throat and many yodling sounds.

On the last part, did he win? I was confused because I don't know if he plays terran or zerg. I think I remember him playing both in some reps.

Slayer is the best BW player ever. He was the best i've ever seen by a longshot and i've seen all the Korean pros you all speak of. If he had the desire to be a pro in Korea he would of dominated as Boxer did.

Slayer was a 280-300+ apm gamer back then as far as I know, which was sickenly fast to everyone else.

yeah..about the nada with 300apm comment. That's with a ton of hotkey usage..slayer was playing 250+ with mostly his mouse speed, not smashing his keyboard :O

Slayer wasn't hotkeying his army, he was hotkeying only his buildings... try doing that with a huge mmf army against lurkers and stuff while also building from 10 rax with your hotkeys. Mr.X was saying he didn't want to watch Slayer play, because he could hardly see the cursor and it was making him feel sick and was also bad for his own confidence. He doesn't feel sick when he watches Didi, or Boxer or the other Koreans he saw at kbk and wcg, so that gives you an idea how fast Slayer was back then.

Just check Heaven's action distribution, if you think 400 apm with 50% hotkey is a fast player then yeah koreans are much faster than Slayer for you ;(. Also it's not just about action distribution but it matters if he's just clicking like a madman on one screen or multitasking well. Some people just have the natural speed, being a progamer and playing 10 hours a day can raise your speed a lot but not as much as having it in your genes

On June 14 2004 12:06 Kpone wrote:


How can anyone micro mm/tank/vessel without hotkey ?????? i really don't understand. Even with fast mouse stimming and avoiding lurkers with 2/3 dozen of rine must a real pain in the ass.

What were the results that tournament? Top 5, anyone? I remember NTT saying he didn't like the organization - from an interview, although maybe it was about some other kbk.

On June 14 2004 15:59 Liquid`Drone wrote:
I remember when I first watched slayer play irl, met him at this lan party called the gathering right before he won kbk.

I quit trying to become good afterwards because his speed convinced me I could never become as good as him no matter how much I practiced.
and he wasn't only fast either, but also really smart! (and if not for the fact that he quit playing for almost 2 years, I would never have been as good as him either. )

im in agreement with everyone claiming he was the best/most talented ever.

and he gave me a coke woohoo that was such a happy moment

On June 14 2004 16:07 Maynard wrote:


I think a distinction needs to be made between apm(the gold standard here) and the speed someone like slayer had. APM means you click buttons and keys very fast. I've seen some players who hands move like crazy and click like mad sometimes, example smuft and chrh, but thats all their speed really entails, telling an scv to move to a location 60 times, flipping back hotkey groups 1-2-3-4-5-6 over and over and over. I would regularly see these plays make mistakes because they were busy "being fast". These people should not be considered "fast" despite their apm numbers. Slayer was extremely fast without all that filler bullcrap.

Seriously why does everyone here get on an apm kick as if its the final word? Shouldnt too high of an apm make you think that there is a lot of useless clicking that could distract from gameplay?

frozen you never saw him play. he became the worlds best player playing in a COMPLETELY different enviroment from boxer and garimto. becoming amazingly good when you're constantly practicing on lan with the best players in the world is a lot less impressive than becoming amazingly good when you're playing far less than them and online.

slayer was never a progamer, but still beat them all, while getting very, very good grades in school.

I think he was good at fps games too, although I dunno how good.

It is easier to respect someone who did not practice 16 hrs a day, 7 days a week for a year to get good.

Actually I kind of have more respect for someone who dedicate that kind of time to something.. Amazing work ethic (and really, we don't know how good he would have gotten had he practiced the korean way).

I have a different kind of respect for slayer I guess (I mean, I might have thought different if, as drone said, I was there and saw him play)

On June 14 2004 19:01 Maynard wrote:


Yes if it is focused at something other than brood war. It doesnt exactly take a "hard worker" to play 16 hours a day.

It requires an enormous dedication to do it for so long O_O Garimto said that pros play 400 games a week when preparing for a tournament..That is something I'd be very hard pressed to do O_O I have played 14 hours a day for 3 days in a row during tltour. I was completely worn out and played like shit after a while O_O I managed like.. hm 60 games in 3 days.

It's complete and utter dedication to the game, quite amazing o_o

That documentary was fun. Brought back a lot of memories.

Does anyone have the vods where Boxer 3-0ed him (i believe all 3 times tvz on rivalry)? I always wanted to see them, and thought maybe here would be a good place to ask.

If given the time of playing all the pro koreans had, Slayer without a doubt would surpass them with ease.

That's like 60 games a day.. no one plays that much 200 games a week sounds more realistic, but even that is pushing it, and playing on weekends

Here you are:

I think you will need that Vodsub program so download that.
(thanks comabreaded)
I suggest you put the sub file in the same folder as the movie is in.
And the subtitle file must have the same name as the movie.

Enjoy.

I understand that on average, most of the pro players in [gm] play 40 games a day. So 60 every day might be stretching it, but 60 every now and again doesn't seem so impossible.

If you have everything installed to make subs work, you just have to play the movie with the subs file in the same folder as the movie, and the subs should appear automatically (this is what happened using BSPlayer at least).

I made it a policy not to spread around replays of me winning. I guess I would say i've had some decent tournament placings, no real tournament wins. My tournament experience was rather lackluster but i was able to keep my face around for a while. I was able to obtain a paid sponsorship for a period of time in Korea until my sponsor went bankrupt.

Dunno if that anwsers it. Probably not.

Oh and Maynard since you are here - I always wondered why you played terran down in korea whene everybody from Grrr to Zelias was screaming about how unbeatable your zerg was?
