I hate him. I liked it when he beat Bisu, I was happy for him, but now when I see how people praise him, he makes me sick. Yes, because of his fanbase. Screw single minded terrans. When Bisu stole his gas, he got raped like a noob. So if you take him off-course he's dead. Not impressed. Plz dunt ban me. | ||

I think he fought EXCELLENT that game. He was calm, positioned his SCVs so well that bisu couldnt kill him with mass zealots! His defense was briliant! It was one of the better defenses against gas steals imo. | ||

I'm shocked btw how many ppl here find the Nickname "Rommel" not even acceptable but cool. He was a fucking Nazi goddamn it. Besides I don't like analogies to real military leaders to BW players. (I really resent Boxer using his popularity to promote the korean military.) The guy committed suicide because he was implicated in a plot to overthrow Hitler. What more do you expect from a man like him? He was honorable, respected his opponents, did his best to obey the rules of war. To ask anything more out of a general that would be immediately executed if he stepped out of line is unrealistic. | ||

(I really resent Boxer using his popularity to promote the korean military.) Rommel was indeed a member of the Nazi party, and one of Germany's most prominent/successful generals. Sure, he was caught up in the initial rush of party fanaticism - but in early 30's Germany, who wasn't? Despite his status as a Nazi, he was consistently regarded by both his own men and his opponents as chivalrous and honorable. I mean, he resisted many of Hitler's immoral execution orders, treated most everyone as humanely as possible, and even protested mistreatment of Jews. All those things were, essentially, political suicide, but he was still willing to do it. After his implied association with the Hitler assassination plot, it was all over for him. Rather sad way to go. | ||

Oh I'm sorry, all i saw were 4 scvs not mining because of 2 zealots, then a failed m&m push vs ZEALOTS and some goons, then getting raped by a solo dt. My bad. I'm not saying he sucked, but he didn't fight EXCELLENT, if he would have fought EXCELLENT he would have WON. Instead he lost. Bad. He tried something "strange" and good for him, but he got violated. Also there have been other matches when he goes bad after getting set back. He seems to lose his pace when he is faced with something unexpected. Unlike boxer or that guy from pimpest plays 2002 who floated his cc in his opponent's base and then blocked the zealots out. </flashback> | ||

I don't care how much he "resisted" Hitler, he oversaw the killing of thousands in Hitler's name for Hitler's causes. Anyway you slice it, Rommel was a goddamn nazi. There were others who truly did what they could and refused to be a part of his regime without regard for their personal gain. He was a bombass tactician, but to just say that and use it as a nickname and ignore the connotations (I'm not saying that you're doing that, LR, I'm just saying in general) is a glorification of a powerful nazi. | ||

The Afrika Korps was never tried for war crimes. Rommel's men were one of the few "clean" parts of the German army. They treated all their PoWs well and observed all the rules of war. Hell, Rommel had a Jewish CoS. | ||

I belive those were the players but I could be mistaking. Either way, terran won.  Could have been anytime.. | ||
