Fucking reach.

Out of interest, can anyone tell how much weight this dumbbell is?

Maybe Reach at least lifts a lot and can be respected for that even if he now apparently blows donkey nuts at BW -_-.

lol, i 4 me, i think TvT is the better compared to PvP and ZvZ, TvT really is the play which requires a lot of macro, dropping skills and mind play. it is really exausting to play a TvT match up. but i prefer different races playing against each other. i like watching TvPs the most but i think TvT is really the hardest match to play. u will keep on gets drop by tanks in your bases and gols on your tanks making u so frustrated. PvP is just more on the war going on. who ever wins the war, who wins. ZvZ, even a small units makes a change for the whole game.

yes, its 15. There are heavier ones on the left, but he pumps whatever.
Another explanation why he sucked. Horrible military vacation??

I think people are too focused on reach sucking than rather xellos playing extremely well.

Xellos showed nice games last msl season and continues to show that he's a force to reckon with...While reach has been in hiatus since falling against stork 1-2, his drop was purely psyychological in his confidence imo, especially considering how hesistant he looks doing this one thing and another. But otherwise, I think he's just remained the same, without the mindful backing of his own.

Btw do Koreans use the same metric system for weights? It could be higher than 15 pounds I think.

As a former cool athlete, I can tell you by seeing the weight that it is probably a 15 pounds.

i dont know what pounds or lbs mean in the european system of kilos. but it seems to be around 10 kilo to me.

15 pounds is only 7 kilos. i think between 10 and 7 kilos??

About ._.'s question:
Googled it:

- Korea (South) | 1964 | introduction of metric system: metric symbols ("kg" incorrectly given as "Kg")

- Korea (South) | 1975 | 100th anniv. International Metre Convention, 1875: metric symbols

It's 20-25lbs. On pro-style dumbbells, a full plate is 10lbs, and the handle + 2 endcaps total 5-7.5lbs, depending on the style (usually 5). It appears to have one 3/4 size plate (7.5lbs) on each side, so 7.5*2+5 = 20lbs. If that's actually a full plate, then 10*2+5 = 25lbs.

Here's a large 35lb dumbbell for reference: http://images.fulfillmenthub.com/1055/105500339.jpg

It has a full and a half plate on each side, so 10*2 + 5*2 + 5 = 35lbs, as marked.
