Pre-replays and all that good stuff. Unfortunately, I played only a few games with Lizard members, and as I don't have reps (didn't exist yet), can't seem to recall their names. Good luck though Priest  I remember the-feared and soda clan ... anybody else remember soda clan or was in it? | ||

Bolas
1 Post
I was NicBolas~LiZarD. I played Magic: The Gathering back in the old days and liked Nichol Bolas card from Legends. Way before the "planeswalker" stuff. facebook.com/zakdolan and linkedin.com/zakdolan and google search should bring up my name as well. GiGGleS~LiZarD was female. This was proven when she played another top female starcraft player, LadyRose, in a challenge match of top female starcraft players. Pretty sure that was authenticated that both were female at the time. I remember CrazyJim~LiZarD as well. And several of the others. When Warcraft III beta came out, CrazyJim moved there and started Clan Crazy. I went to Warcraft III also and had the name CrazyBolas. Still play under the names "Bolas" and "CrazyBolas" on Steam and Battle.net. Bolas#1355. Hi all you LiZarD out there! I was never as good as some of the clan leaders, but I could hold my own with Zerg. Played Orc in Warcraft 3. LiZarDs feel free to friend request me on Steam, Battlenet, and RIOT games League of Legends. | ||

DeaTH-LiZarD here, from the original SC. I remember being recruited by Giggles after having a 1v1 solo match with her. I put up a good fight and took my defeat with joy and honor, she liked my style and asked me if I'm looking to join a good clan. I met and played a lot with her, Bongo, Priest, Crazyjim, Seth and the rest for years to come. At WC3 I made it to #8 solo ladder, 1st with Thrall icon on US-West. Started as 15 year old boy and today 33 years young, a father and hard worker, these days are way behind me but I still remember and think about them as if it was yesterday. I'll be looking back here to see if you guys still are. Enjoy your lives - DeaTH-LiZarD | ||

Yeah, I quit Starcraft when all the win traders showed in 1999 Battle.net and the maphacks. I thought the game died. I got an email inviting me to Korea when I was in college. I thought it was a scam because I never heard of Korea, and the numbers for winning were like 3,000,000,000,000 whatever currency they used. I was legit far and away #1 in the world then. Xds'Grr I identified as #2, and he could never win vs me and I beat him so bad he called me a cheater, but I did not. I made some money on Asheron's call, gold and equipment selling til about 2001, 800$ a month ain't bad playin a game. Then War3, you know the story, got #1 1v1,2v2,3v3 USEast, on random, first to 1500 wins. Assassin and Kain never wanted to 1v1 me. I got into Kainers head in one epic Starcraft game and he never wanted to play me ever again, but he liked to team play WITH me. We went like 200-0 before our first loss got because Kain and Assassin got bored and tried to both go straight to tier3 and they told me they were bored at winning. Blizzard had me as a consultation guy for TFT. I was the guy who said to make the gold on creeps less and a few other things. ROC was like competitive pacman, kill creeps faster and win, not much pve. I am a game designer, programmer by trade, so by lowering gold, you weight pvp a bit more. It was a genius move, but Blizzard never hired me, and didn't even give me a WOW beta. Oh Blizzard screwed me with War3 beta tourney too. They told everyone the time for the game, so I showed up in the channel, and took a nap to be rested for my game. I show up, and they say,"Oh we last minute rescheduled the whole tourney one hour earlier, and disqualified you." I never played war3 tourneys cuz they were like in Texas and sold 32 tickets. Britney Spears concerts with 32,000 tickets sell out in one minute. 32 tickets are given to a bunch of random scrubs with $50 and not actual contenders. If I was smart, I woulda went down and hustled people at games for money, or just called out the winner to play me. I believe I was #1 in the world at the time. For a lifetime of training, I played 1989 Nintendo World Championships and 1999 Broodwar worlds which I was the favorite, but got 4pool cheesed and guy sent a spy to know my dire straights strategy. Everything happens for a reason I guess. I didn't stick with TFT, I went solo game making since Blizzard did not hire me. I tried to make a 3d mmo like Tekken, and I'm still tinkering with it. I made a couple games since like Dungeon Run Blackroost Keep on ios, www.throneandcrown.com flash or android, but nothing super big. For some reason I never got a solid game making job, despite gaming like an olympian since 3yrs old, coding since 4 and game designing since 6. Oh in 2003, God let me know he is real: www.goodnewsjim.com Follow Jesus and do all things in love. Love is the way. I changed my nick from CrazyJim to GoodNewsJim God's been good to me had an awesome super chesty girlfriend for years who loved video games, had a good sense of humor, but some dude ninja married her. So I am still looking for a wife and hitting the gym. I probably should play League of Legends more, get in with a crew that knows their stuff to jump start my skill. I still have my reflexes, a huge skill ceiling and know macro, but there is so much to learn in meta and I don't follow guides. I actually side invented Karthus Spell theifs, and pro fiddles starting Shurelia was a build I posted on the forums.. Everyone is invited to my twitch: www.twitch.tv/goodnewsjim Lets get my 3 concurrent viewers so I can go affiliate ^^ Very few people remember me, but I make friends along the way like the 1998 gaming team LiZarD's way, keep friends close. As the sterotype for ex starcraft pro, I went Texas Holdem too. Last two years made 10k each don't play now though, ded game with online cheaters. | ||

Dude you just made me remember so much stuff from the RoC days! I was a kid without internet connection at home so I used to go to internet cafe every day after school to play RoC on Battle.net. I would download a bunch of replays of you, CrazyAssasin, TillerMaN to study them in the evening at home and trying to copy the builds offline vs AI. Next day we would discuss the builds and the games with friends at school. You guys were my first e-sport heroes, though I think the term e-sports was not even known to me back then. | ||

CrazyJim - wow what a post! You shot me way back to the good old days as Bongo called it. I remember getting a hold of your account on WC3 RoC after you left. The guy with your account started sending me messages asking me if I was you. I remember thinking that this isn't normal and that your account probably got hacked. So I told him that I am you - and he handed me the password to your account. I was in complete and total shock. I remember holding on to your account without playing any games or making any changes to it. I'd just log in now and then to make sure it's still active. Then, on one of the logins, someone started whispering (BTW to all the millenniums - whispering on battle.net was private messaging) to me that it was you, and you're so glad that I held on to your account, etc. etc. I have no idea how he managed to convince me that it was you, but I handed him back the account and watched him completely destroy it with loss after loss after loss.. and I felt so bad about being fooled instead of protecting what was yours. Anyway, throughout the years I was still able to fetch some memories from back then but the only social proof that's still available today is an old battle report which I did between two players (it's another thing I used to do back then). The background is gone along with the photos but it still holds a small piece of history: http://www.battlereports.com/viewreports.php?reportnum=2305 And a replay between ReiAyanami (NE, lvl 22 105-10) vs. NoBrain-LiZarD (NE, lvl 20 asia) This was a little later in 2002. If anyone still has Warcraft 3 patch 1.03 laying around, you can watch this replay: http://216.239.132.9/viewreplays.php?replaynum=13168 I wish there was more social proof of the really exciting things that happened back then. Can we all get in touch in a better way? Whatsapp, Telegram, Discord? - DeaTH-LiZarD | ||

Also nice to see Tashadan still around!Crazy to think that I've been using "PriestLizard" as my gaming tag for more than 20 years now, and I effectively never joined another clan again for any other game. So as far as I'm concerned, I'm still part of it! Last time I played with other people in the clan was probably early Starcraft 2 days (2010) with Dre and SaGe, and then I had my last tour of competitive gaming in HotS (2013) where I played a bit of 1v1 Masters league. Now career (I'm a designer on the Total War franchise with Creative Assembly) and family have taken over. If anyone wants to get in touch, "priestlizard" on Steam or Priest~Lizard#7153 on Discord.
