See EVER08 OSL, where he beat Casy, Jaedong, Much, Bisu, and JangBi and then went on to play one of the worst semifinals in OSL history against July, losing 1-3 in a map pool that included Troy. Keep in mind that there's a distinction between hate and friendly prodding, and I'd say that the difference between FBH and BackHo is that more people at TL actually hate FBH (most people who appear as BackHo "haters" are merely poking fun at him because it's so easy - he has to be one of the goofiest, dumbest progamers around). BackHo is just the type of player who will make you whack your forehead in disbelief on a regular basis. He was the only person who took a game off July like OSL. Okay, Yarnc did too, but July already qualified for Ro8 and Yarnc was going to be disqualified anyways, so that game didn't matter. Scary thought. | ||

Sure, he won, and it wasn't a complete BO win, but punishing July for an attempted pool threehatch with like 5+ zealots isn't really a display of skill. Watch any of the other games and the excellent TL writeups that correspond with them, and you'll see the true face of Backho (They're really really funny). | ||

When has casy ever done something noticable, or played in a way that distinguishes himself as a terran from people like pepe/frozean/lomo/go.go. I enjoy Casy because his vT and vZ were so 'boxer-esque' (which is why he was dubbed Neo Emperor) Unfortunately for him, he also inherited Boxer's awful vP skills (which pretty much worse more and more he played). | ||

Backho can play very well, and he did show some great play against Stork last night. But he also produces some of the most god awful games that make you question why he's a progamer. | ||
