Rekrul is the undisputed holder of the title of most epic poster person on Teamliquid. Every thread he starts is made of gold. Every thread he looks at is made of silver and lulz (if you've ever wondered why certain threads just seem so funny for no apparent reason, it's 'cause Rekrul was there). Every thread he blesses with a post is destined to be awesome.
With this thread I hope to give something that was never given to me when I first stumbled across these forums - an archieve of Rekrul's most epic moments, so that young scholars will not have to search for pieces of epic win like I had to. This thread shall be a templar archives, if you will, full of all the best Rekrul moments. En taro Rekrul!
If you know of something that should be added to this list, please PM me with what you want to add (wether it is a quote from a Rekrul post, or a Rekrul thread, etc) and I'll put it in. Teamliquid wants YOU to contribute to this thread. Rekrul Toridas!

I just wish there was a "Reason" for ban in automated ban list back when Rekrul had the ban hammer. Definitely would be a lot of priceless quotes.
|
My favorite quote from him was in that thread where Artosis asked people to post questions they wanted him to ask the Estro manager, and rekrul was like "How does it feel having Artosis act like he's connected to the korean esports scene when you're his only link to it"

you probably shouldn't type out the quote when it's not actually accurate, because what you wrote doesn't even make any sense.
lol boesthius i forgot about that
HAHAHAHAHAHAAH
ROOOOOFL

hahaha I've only read a few of the foreigners suck threads before... rofl awesome.
|
man... foreigners really suck! parts 1 through 5!
|
TOTally imo. I always see rekruls posts standing out with great insight and common sense.
Go rekrul. keep it up.
|
wahaha, progamer gossip 1, so good.
|
So was Rekrul a mod back when he made all of these posts, or was TL just more lenient back then? It seems like there would be a lot of bans for that kind of posting nowadays.

They pretty much let him do whatever he wants. I think it's 'cause he used to be a mod. However, even if it is injust, it genererates such quantities of lulz that it is worth it for the greater good.
J/k. The truth is that they tried to ban him but they just couldn't, 'cause he 1a2a3a'd his way into TL again and again, so they pretend that they let him do whatever he wants in order to not look like clueless newbs.
|
To be honest if I were a mod (heaven forbid), I wouldn't have tried to ban him. Too much gold in those posts.
|
En taro Rekrul, huh. There is something funny about a Protoss worshiping an inverted lurker.
btw, excellent work, was hoping someone would gather all this stuff once

My personal favorites:
When I first came to Korea Assem raped me almost every fucking game TvP even though I was thought to be a PvT god. The Korean timing and macro was too good for me for a solid two months when I first came here.
Then the fateful day when it was the only time our manager Daniel watched us play games vs. eachother. Thank god for mother fucking requiem. 5-0 Mother fucker.
"Dan you can take the night off tonight, go out have fun. Brian you're staying here."
Better to be lucky than good.
I played vs. Silver RvR for 10$ a game and went 4-4.
He kept telling me how good I am.
Then 5 mins later he's like hey lets play for 200$ a game now.
Hustling mother fucker. Fuck that : [
Koreans usually don't look strangers in the eyes. Atleast thats true for gamers, most don't have very good social skills.
At MBC Trials I raped some terran round one. I was feeling pumped and ready for round 2 vs. Reach.
I was then walking towards him and he was walking towards me and we made eye contact, he didn't look away, neither did I. I felt the power of the mantoss. There was nothing I could do. He was Reach. I was the first one to break the eye contact. I knew what was coming.
Mother fucker raped me twice with ease.
One time me and three friends including the pantech coach were playing a use map settings game for over and hour and couldn't beat the damn thing.
Then the Pantech coach said, "I'll call Nada."
Crushed it on first try.

this quote embodys why reach is so manly.. Rekrul is no nonsense common sense.. he would even despise this tread cause its such a big ass-kissing.. but hey maybe hes ok with it.. he deserves some credit for not fucking around and going straight to the point when he posts.

Progaming Gossip #1 and #2 in the OP. Love those threads.
Also request:
1) The thread in which Rekrul played someone in poker in some shady back-alley place, he called a cheap-ass that played safe and later on that tried to leave without giving them a chance to win all their money back, that later turn out to be the president or minister of some country.
2) A "living in Korea" thread that Rekrul explains how hard it is to live there for a foreigner. I'm about 75% sure it was originally about Draco, but I could be wrong.

Pretty much all of Rek's epic threads are in my TL Hall of Fame.

Sign me up for the rekrul fan club.
You should go through every blog and find all the relationship advice he's given they all make me laugh.

People act like it's so hard to go to Korea.... just go be an English teacher, it's the easiest thing in the world. You need like a 6 week tefl course and any degree at all basically and you can make not bad money and have more than enough free time to go around clubbing or playing SC or whatever you want to do.
Edit haha just read Rekrul's thoughts on English teachers in Korea =p Guess that probably turned a lot of people off that plan... But still, if you're not a douchebag already, being an English teacher doesn't automatically turn you into one =p
|
Won't be adding any quotes if the quotes are part of the threads that are on the list, so don't be sad if your qoute isn't added.
|
Rek has over 14000 posts and I wouldn't mind if that post count was even higher. All his posts are worth reading.
I remember that when I first visited TL there was a post/news where he was reporting about his life as a pro in Korea or something like that. Might've been the "Rekrul Korea Story".
Please never stop posting on TL, Rekrul.
|
Foreigners Still Suck is one of my favorite posts of all time and should be mandatory reading for anybody considering the IdrA fanclub.
|
One of the few posters here actually worthy of the baller status title.
|
i'd never join a fan club but, yeah, i'm down... rekrul brings utility to my life
|
Rekrul is a fucking superhero of the TL, respects.
|
foreigners suck was the best series
|
Where's the "this one was written by my Korean friend" thread that he had somebody else post for him. Intothewow?
|
Rekrul is no doubt one of the best posters on TL (and that says a lot), probably the best. I'm a fan. :D

rekrul how have you not made a presence in this thread yet
|
Rekrul just doesn't fucking care, haha. If he ever posts in here it will probably be something like
"LOOOOL op is such a fag creating an entire archive dedicated to me wow seriously get a life. but i guess i should thank you for the attention"
:D

It's undeniable that Rek's contributions have always been highly entertaining. To me at least

The fact that the Idra thread is longer than this is what is wrong with Teamliquid these days.

hey, does anyone remember the blog in which he commented on the slush vs artosis incident in the HDH invitational where Artosis got disconnected.
|
I just realized that Rekrul backwards is Lurker. I am stunned.

Rekrul is hilarious, now love just truth.
