Don't know if anyone has mentioned D-22 soso... :/ he was really good when SC/BW was new and battlenet ladder meant something cuz cheats were unavailable. At least I didn't hear about them when playing back then.

Though it's hard to gauge their contemporary level since there were no reps, only match reports. They were kind of cool though with screens and stuff ^^.
I wouldn´t call him stupid, but let´s just say he´s unlucky when thinking...

soso has been mentioned
honestly, he's the coolest player ever.
he became #2 in the world _BECAUSE HE WANTED TO MEET A KOREAN SINGER CALLED EUGENE KIM AND HE ENDED UP MEETING HER_

omg!

How far apart was Slayers and Elkys Primes? Because Slayer won KbK with a lot of koreans but that was BACK IN THE DAY. The best koreans then would die to mid level koreans of today. So maybe Slayer stormed the SC scene when koreans were not as good but elky was playing vs them when they were more developed? I dont know ~_~ and what did Maynard do? Everyone talks about him but I know like 0 about him.

Man oh man Mr Maynard was smart as hell. Random player, one of the first ones to be in Korea. Very innovative, creative, original, wise player.

His zerg was awesome almost unbeatable, very good, though just like blackman, he didn't like ZvZ

His T v P was very very good as well, great pusher and in times hybrid marine medic tank player. Was also a very skilled and fearful as a Protoss player too in all P matchups.

His weakness, ummmm ZvZ

Not sure about his accomplishments but he was a top player and must be considered when bringing on this topic.

maynard was _GOD_ back in the day. GOD. in the old kali days that is
while I didn't know him personally or play against him back then, I heard stories about him playing 1 vs 2 from the start against other players who were considered really good and WINNING. I mean what the fuck.
when he went to korea however, he was much worse compared to everyone else and far from dominant, as far as I know he was not really special at that time. but at one moment he was pretty much untouchable.

Grrr and Elky should really speak for themselves. If you think about there's noone who is able to claim one of their spots in this list.

Possible changes that I would consider are switching myself one position with Slayer and maybe replacing NTT with someone I cannot think of right now.

For people wondering how I dare to considering myself equal to Slayer (which I don't per definition - I think it's a tossup and understand anyone picking him over me, but the other way aroudn as well)

I won WCG NLD three times (Slayer won WCG Norway zero times though to his credit only two tries of which 1 when he was active) including a 4-1 win over NTT (included on most lists) and many wins over Strafe/Twisted/Ret
5th in 2001 (wins over Tomson Fisheye Gundam MTY CQ2000 ending up 5th with that)
7th in 2002
1st in two of the earlier WGTour seasons, got second in the 3rd (2-3 final vs Saft)
1st two TL tournaments, got second in the third
1st PGChallenge 2003 in Prague (Socke Daaman Fisheye Destroyer)
1st OsloLAN 2003 (splitted 1st, we never played the final due to misserable organization)

This is a list excluding anything I have done in Korea to make it fair. Probably forgetting some stuff as well. I'd say that should give Slayer a run for his money.

Arrogance or realism? who knows. I just felt like digging up some results since I doubt anyone remembers them.


very nice man, much love to you

I still have some vods of you, like you vs saferzerg on bifrost etc... but my favorite series from you is easilly your liquibet vs kiwi a whiles back where you beat him 4-3 or something, all PvZ. Kiwi was one scary fuck back then, I enjoyed that 1 alot

The moment life is put beyond the reach of your will, and placed under the influence of mechanical operations, it becomes, to thinking beings, a torment insupportable.
