I'm going to use my epic 5K'th post land mark as a tribute to someone who changed the entire foreign community..
MasterOfChaos
This guy took over when Ashur quit SC programming. He recoded some of the features of the original PenguinPlug, but most importantly came up with an idea himself. Somehow he managed to change the 8 year old latency settings in StarCraft, making foreigners able to micro like Koreans without having to play on Hamachi. It helped us close that big gap a little bit, and made our chances of succeeding at WCG just a bit higher!
Personally, I can't even play without LatencyChanger anymore, and I know a lot of SC players share my feeling. Example? Try doing /whois n.die_jaedong on USWest when he's on. Even in Korea, they have received this gift from god with open arms.
I have the feeling he hasn't been getting enough love though. He has recently been given a star, but he deserves more. And that's why I created this thread, to give you all a chance to thank him!

Don't mean to take anything away from MoC or w/e but that was actually the ADVLauncher by some Russian dude. It was made into a Chaos plugin though
MasterofChaos is just epic. As CDRdude said, I can't say thanks for it to be sufficient. You deserve more, but I guess fame counts for something. #LL Revolutionized my ZvT. Just amazing, what you have done with the battle.net scene.
TY masterofchaso. and if your reading these posts. i request that you bring back the 1st person replay and emulators that penguin plug had. i really enjoyed those.
I love it tho, how ppl mistake chaoslauncher for oblivionlauncher in bnet...like when map DLs freeze, and I can see them due to that plugin...I get kicked when I point it out...lol...
Aside from progaming itself, I'd say MasterofChaos is the best thing to happen to SC since it came out. LAN Latency alone would qualify him as a hero, but then there's ChaosLauncher? And the fact that he does it for free is just...heart-warming. MoC hwaiting!

Let's not forget Ashur, JCA and Pat who also had a huge impact on the community, but... Yeah, it was like MasterofChaos revived Starcraft with Chaoslauncher and Latency Changer. It's a huge deal and he should be praised for it.
Thank you very much MasterOfChaos. You made iCCup even more inviting to play. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavours outside of SC(and of course inside of SC :D).
He completely deserves all the praise we can give him. His programming skills have revolutionised foreign starcraft and completely changed the nature of battlenet for everyone serious about Starcraft.
masterofchaos you are one awesome man. thank you for all your hard work! you are one of the most important community people that starcraft has. respect.

imo this guy should by hired by Blizzard
If I were someone with power inside blizzard, I'd fire the entire SC support crew, if there is a such thing, and hand the source to MasterOfChaos. He'd make this game even more awesome.
I hate blizzard for not being open to things that should come naturally as this one.
