Looking over the other members of the global top 20 club, I recognize literally every other player except for iGware. His win percentage is sick (62%) and he appears to be a total beast; but I have no idea who he is. No major tourneys attended (to my knowledge), no presence on TL, etc. Can anyone shed any light on this talented player? | ||

Recently, iGware has skyrocketed to the top of our division and, checking sc2rankscom, he is now in the top 5 globally for points.

He's a recent graduate of Berkeley who's working for a start up in the Bay Area. Recently at a tournament, he 2-0'd LGPainuser AND EGAxslav (easily top 5 terran and top 5 protoss respectively in NA) . . playing as random 0_0 using godly well crafted, well timed, and well executed unorthodox builds, before finally edging out to LGKangWook. The kid is a genius, he can get DTs out before the 6 minute mark. He likes to keep a low profile and doesn't like playing for money. That's all I got. | ||

Hope he attends MLG -- maybe he can get voted into NASL. I was looking through his recent games and he beat Ret twice, among other gods. Very impressive. | ||

Very impressive. Yeah not only does he have insanely ingenious aggressive one base openings . . . he also has godly mechanics and multitasking that allowed him to play long macro games. | ||

And btw, DT's before the 6 min mark isn't more genius than a 6-pool. | ||
