I actually have no clue about this and am almost as curious as you are now but my guess would be poker. Seems like everyone before I got into bw is playing poker these days.

I heard he made an ai program which plays like mc, mvp, and nestea. He's secretly practicing against them and will suddenly appear from nowhere and take over every sc2 tournament.

Looks like no one in that thread knows where he went either. Last I remember he was picked up by MYM. and then no one heard anything of him after that. Except for some random tournament invite (can't remember the name of the tournament though but like everyone from MYM. was invited).

I'm genuinely curious now though. Where did he go? T.T

lmao

I just remember his game against Boxer. He was known for expanding everywhere and raping with superior macro afair.

That's hardcore old school. Why not ask MYM staff?

Speculation:

Wasn't he the guy that supposedly programmed ai that simulated progamer's play back in the day? If he was, I wouldn't be surprised if he continued studies or got a job related to that field or something programming related.

if i recall correctly, he was a polish zerg player who ended up as 3d in WCG 2002, right behind boxer and yellow. apart from that i dont really know just that he didnt make that big of an impact.

Here he is. He was still playing in 2007; that's not so long ago.

Yes that was the tournament I mentioned. Before that he was kind of gone already though (the earlier game was from 2 years before it).

What happened after 2007 is what we want to know.

lololol in his game against Fengzi in october 2007 he didn't know how to stack mutas with an overlord and was using geyser and minerals to stack them. Fengzi's mutas are perfectly stacked so I guess he knew the trick.

That's weird, I would have thought anybody would have started to stack muta immediately when July introduced this mechanics.

I remember a game of him vs Dreiven for some random Koth or tourney circa 2007-2008.
His style was still oldschool Sauron btw, mass expo with hydraling.
In that replay Dreiven spend like 30 minutes running around the map and killing expos lol.

edit: not too sure but maybe it was gosugamers Koth.

He played a bit on Iccup at some point too. Have a replay of him losing to goon reaver push on longinus. Haven't heard of him since.
fuck all those elitists brb watching streams of elite players.
