I'll keep it in this thread, but what ever happened to IntoTheRain? He was my favorite protoss player
along with Reach back in the day.. I havent played BW in 5 years.


He stopped playing because he didn't enjoy the game anymore. Look in the articles section, there's an interview of him.
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer

Grrrr... was the only foreigner to be a real SC/BW pro gamer. Actually Grrrr... was the first real BIG pro gamer, after boxer took his place..


He's not death.. not yet..

Actually i think he didnt quit Bw because of poker. He just hadnt the will to train as much as he had to, in order to keep up with the new generation of gamers..

Finishing 4th in an OSL doesn't count as being a real SC/BW pro? (Elky)

Just getting into a Starleauge and in top 30 Kespa is enough for me to call him pro. And doing pretty good in pro WC3 for a short while too.

Elky also competed in the most games at once I believe, doing Kingdom Under Fire, Warcraft 3, and Starcraft at the same time while partying at night clubs with his rad looking sun-glasses picking up hot singaporean chicks, doing boxer's mom, playing poker, and making rwas for gg.net. Imagine if he had focused only on star O_o

In the 'World Cyber Games' National Geographic show, Grrrr shows around his appartment in Korea, and talks about SC (how amazingly good players have become these days) and Poker (he's a total Poker slave), he has really huge posters of his old SC days on the walls, of him and Elky and Korean progamers, very nice.

Yea that looks just like Kang Min... amazing game sense... and uses mind games well, but has the micro of a washed up progamer.

Giyom quit because he started to get into the Korean night life... a lot. He started to not practice as much as other Korean pros, who pracitced all day every day. Then he got into poker, and then just couldn't keep up, leading to his retire.

Yeah I agree, he is one of the best player ever cuz of his brain, he invented a lot of techs, he symbolises protoss as boxer do for terran. He was the best for more than 2 years (even there were no kespa rankings back then) and he's been the first real pro in korea.
