I recommend you watch some of LastGamer's zerg replays and his gameplay is a lot like YellOw's. I believe it actually might be him. And the fact that he has two losses... well he did play T and P in those games and it is ALWAYS possible to lose even if you're way better than your opponent... JoseZ vs Boxer is one of the best examples imo

i got news for u, wgtour isnt the nonkorean community. there are about 5 ppl noteworthy playing -_-. Ready2 yes, spending all day playing random people is a huge waste of time for a progamer. why would they do such a thing when they need to practice for things that matter.

WGTour is sooo underrated. I bet you couldn't even make top 32 :[ All people say it's shit because not a lot of "known" players play it, but there's a lot of skill in WGTour. Of course it's less and shit, but from c4 to higher they all know basic strats and shit, and everyone that's b6 or higher (now) can win from you.

ok so in your opinion what measures the nonkorean community's skill? why do you nonkorean "gosus" regard wgt as crap? its the only thing that keeps nonkorean bw alive. not wdt, not tlt, not wsl. wgt!

If "spending all day playing random people is a huge waste of time for a progamer." than why did ppl from pos play? why did julyzerg play? bejjang? bluek? sonnjang? they wasted their time but why?

EDIT: oh and only 5 ppl noteworthy? lets see now trek, infinity, beast, majtek, anon, ufo, twisted, mcnasty, drone, several chinese gosu, several poland gosu and bunch of ppl smurfing. I think thats more than five

i agree with dev ~~ there are lots of people on wgt who will surprise you. people have for years made the assumption that if you aren't "known" then you can't possibly be "good". you'd think wgtour woudl've shown them otherwise by now. granted "good" is a pretty relative thing, but still -=_-

As a comparison, some NBA players play street ball in Rucker park during the Summer. They play against the best street ball non-NBAers in the New York City area. The semi-pro street basketballers know the game and play all day, but are definitely worse players than NBA level... I don't think they get paid or endorsed... the coverage is very slight. Why do they do it? To give back to the community, reach back to their roots? edit: want to add, the skill level must be high enough so they aren't feeling bored and just newb bashing.

Maybe here its the same thing... Or maybe they just to try something a bit different from 24X7 playing the same Korean leagues and group of ppl.

I agree with twisted. From b6 higher, the level is pretty good, and any of these will win 1 or 2 games vs very good players.

Yea, it isn't Testie. Testie totally disconnected himself from computers, and is focusing on school work and new goals.

Though if he didn't quit, It still wouldn't be him, but u could assume it was since testie did go like 65-0 or something one season ;;

at no point did i claim i am a gosu, or i myself am noteworthy. gw, morons. ill disregard most of that. devaz, did i say it wasnt hard? no. i pointed out that it was a waste of time for someone like yellow's level to waste a day or 2 on something so stupid as wgt. Noname. apples and oranges my friend. This isnt the offseason. Ready2, JulyZerg was very little known when he played WGT, after that he started to make it in to the leagues and what not. Ready2, i said ABOUT 5, i didnt bother checking and getting an exact number, but you named like 8 or 9 which just proves my point. I wasn't saying "good" i said "noteworthy". Don't Put words in my mouth ;\

i have been playing a lot with these koreans and talking a lot, i can tell you afreet = love. i dont know who lastgamer is cuz i simply dont ask. I can however tell you they speak good english. And afreet zvz and enough zvz is simply korean top level. Flyhigh didnt impress me THAT much, however he is VERY VERY fast, and has apm 350+. Take your conclusions, however i believe these gamers are progamer from KTF team.

are those APM's really that hard to get?? i mean, _i_ couldnt get 300, but when i mentioned how hard APM was to testie, he told me its useless - and proceded to get 280 in the 1v1 we had. He averages 130-150.

If Testie can do it, couldn't others' as well?

from the looks of it, flyhigh is definately themarine; 300apm, hotkey setup: 1=unit, 2=cc, 3=rax, 4=rax, 0=scan
and strategy wise, he loves going double wraiths tvz at times.

RandomMania = TheMania[mgw] I think OOz

i think there is no reason to doubt that
enough, autumn, themarine, love and ssamjang are real. no idea about nada, he played only one game, might be him. but i still doubt that lastgamer is yellow.
