To add a random post, someone mentioned Crayon earlier in this thread and that gave me some super nostalgia. I loved that guy and he was really fun to watch.

Edit: In the shower.
I want to fuck Soulkey with a Zelderan.

HovZ does very, very well for himself in poker (online when it was still available and even now at live), fwiw. He's taken down an LAPC:

Yeah felt like I was the only one who have heard about him since I obbed him vs destroyer (who owned him) once. That was one of my favourite TL moments. If I recall correctly he still claimed that all spanish players were trash and him losing to a 2nd teir spanish player didnt meant anything since the top players were somehow worse. Also he wasnt trying ect.

Been a while since I saw a TL thread where I recongize a majority of the names.

I know he probably isn't, but was he the guy who started ZZangDream on USWest? Giang or Jiang I believe his name was.

I don't know zzangdream, but this guy had like the most wins on Bnet I think. He also beat boxer in a televised match in the very beginning. Like people from into-/nc/)is( would come into the channel and ask for a 1v1. The thought back then was a lot different from how people play today though. Like whenever I played against them, I would freak out, and build tons of sunkens, because they were all so good. I would build like 30 sunkens on 2 base lol. So, they taught me to stop building static defense, so I started to try to win games without ever building sunkens. It worked really well for me at that time.

you can say what you want of hovz but in his prime he was definitely one of the best terrans in the U.S. Probably 2nd or 3rd best, honestly I can't remember what terran in the U.S. I had more trouble vs than him.. but im probably just not remembering.


Sorry man this is just so untrue. Froz, Assem and lots of ppl were leagues better than him to a degree that you could call hovz an amateur. As hilarious as it is Artosis was prob better than him. Then u have ppl less known like Crayon who could play Terran much better than Hovz ever could despite it not being his main race, etc.

Hovz was like low apm okay player, Terrible vs efficient Z and prob had an okay vs USA P matchh. I beat him in a wcg qual live using a mouse that wasnt even mine and felt horrible lol. i mean whatever this is like 8 years ago but i dont like to see someone like hovz get acclaim this way.


who are you and how would you know

i actually played against hovz a lot as well as most of other top foreign terrans and good korean terrans and hovz was very solid. it was just vs p tho cuz i was p so i can't speak for other matchups i guess


i see nyoken posted, another pretty good usa terran player. though when i played id rate hovz higher but then i think nyoken kept improving and got better


Because I was a hella good Z player and I played matches with everyone bro

But for real I played as FightAsVenom then later Rolex-Venom. I played up until SC2 came out and honestly was one of the best Zergs in america tho not very well known. I mostly just laddered neogamei/pgtour/iccup when i wasnt playin with my crew of friends. but ive played most of the top americans back then and i can tell you hovz was definitely not that great.

an anecdote about hovz, after losing to me IRL he types "noob shit" in game and then gets up in the pc cafe and walks towards the entrance lol.. I was so impossibly nervous as well after losing to my friend Blind in the first round, it was my first live tournament in any game ever ahh good times.


Somehow I remeber FightAsVenom..did you use to hang out in Nohunters?

Nah, that's not Giang. Giang was an old friend of mine from [x.1]. He helped me and a bunch of other people get into korean clans. He got a guy named shadoweyez / shadow-lzuruha into [fOu] as City[fOu], and me into Siz). There were a few other guys who got into other clans but I can't remember at the time. As far as I know he quit BW because his parents were really against it.
