I agree with this. I vote it gets renamed.

And I agree with the poster above John, that's a really bad picture to banner a fanclub with. Have one where Ki Soo looks like a boss, not where he's crying. =/

I still have a soft spot for Ki Soo, I'll sign up when it's got a different name and banner. xD

He once mentioned in an interview(it was in open season 1, with me and artosis doing interview) that he used id Tester because he was tester in his previous team(oGs). It was name he used without putting in any thought and he hated it cuz he felt like just random tester and nobody. I think that is why afterwards he used ids which are related to his name so fans would acknowledge who he is. SKS is his initial and Trickster is Sagisoo in Korean and similar to his name. Rumor says he was also affected by Fruitdealer who was loved for his unique id.

In Korea he is often called by his fans 용신, which means dragon god. I do not know the reason though.

I hated the guy and his cannon block at the ramp every single game unbeatable PvZ strategy for a good while too, but not any more. Well, the primary reason is that he can't win games any more, but it's just not that. You can sign me up too, but I think I'll get my name deleted if he starts to win games again.

before day2 starts tomorrow, go to the MLG website and under the MLG video player there's VODS written, which will let you view all the matches from today.

Some VODS are already up, though I don't think the Tester game is though.

I'm not sure if you're serious, but what attention does a player that blatantly refuses to practice deserve? May i ask why he's your favourite player? I've followed Tester since the beta, and all he's done since release is disappoint. Both him and fruit dealer have gone way downhill simply because they don't care. I don't feel a player like Tester deserves to have a fan club and therefore am removing the content from the OP. If you feel differently, I encourage you to create your own Tester fan club as he continues his descent into code B.

The point of focusing on your low number of posts isn't supposed to be some sort of dick measuring contest, it's to show that you are not a very active member of TeamLiquid and therefore should not have created a fanclub that you aren't willing to maintain, especially for a player you clearly don't even like very much, as evidenced by the fact that you used a picture of him crying as the default and created the fanclub only when it became clear that he wasn't as good as he used to be, only to abandon it when he didn't suddenly turn around and become what he was in the beta.

It's not fair for you to say he "refuses to practice" when you actually don't know that. I highly doubt that is the case anyways. You can make the argument for Fruitdealer since he won a ton of money in Open Season #1 but Tester hasn't. I'm sure he's hungry for a title and I hope he will get it eventually. Yes he is slumping and yes he has not been playing up to his potential and the name he made for himself in the beta but why should I turn my back on him?

Hi, I'm going to exclude the 2nd half of your post because I believe that the content of it is more of a personal testament and doesn't really address what we're discussing as much as the former half. While I do respect the fact that you have clearly been following Tester for a while, and are disappointed that he doesn't have the fan club you believe he deserves.

Anyway, on topic....

I don't know how you can say that Tester [and Fruitdealer] are still practicing hard after they left oGs to join TSL specifically because TSL was offering a very light practice schedule relative to oGs.

Ever since Tester and FD joined TSL their results had been getting worse and worse (with an exception of GSL July for Tester [but Tester got VERY lucky with his group that season getting a free win vs rain after goig 0-1 vs july]).

I assume that you're aware that Tester and Fruitdealer recently left TSL to join ST. It was later revealed that all the members of TSL were not satisfied with the results that they were putting up so they entered a "rebuilding stage" with stricter practice regimes, and once again Tester and FD fled the idea of having to acutally put work into the game, and are now on ST.

If you haven't been aware of the Tester/FD TSL issues i suggest you check out these threads:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=251219
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=252847
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=251282


It's pretty clear that Tester and FD are both not working very hard at sc2 unless they've both started practicing seriously since joining ST, which is very doubtful since they would have not left TSL in the first place if they were willing to put more hours into the game.

Finally, I would like to say that FD has not made THAT much money from GSL Open1. In fact, he only made about 86,000$. For a 26 year old who likely doesn't have university education (he was playing professional bw previous to sc2) whose backup job is likely going to be working at his mothers fruit stand again....that is NOT a lot of money. Considering the competition in sc2 is only going to get harder and harder as time goes on, I see no reason for him to be satisfied with just 1 gsl win and stop practicing (so I don't follow your previous argument concerning that).

I'm not saying that's why Fruitdealer is playing poorly nor am I saying he isn't practicing hard. All I said was I can understand why some people may think that about him since he slumped hard immediately after season 1.

Yes I know why they left oGs and yes I understand the drama between them and TSL, I'm not oblivious. However, with how many good players there are not even in the GSL, if they weren't practicing they probably would have fallen out of Code A by now. Yeah Tester might have gotten lucky with the July / Rain situation in GSL July but you don't get to the round of 8 in Code S off of pure luck and no practice. I also don't think Startale would pick up players who don't practice when they are one of the better teams in Korea. You keep making it seem like they do nothing but fuck around all day when that isn't a fair assessment for you to make. Does Rainbow not practice either? He left oGs and is in a slump too right? Yeah that must mean he sits around on his ass all day.

By no means am i saying Tester is a BAD player...I believe he has the potential to become the Tester from the beta again, but he is not putting in the effort and dedication required, and I cannot support a player like such.

"Deleting" the fanclub is kinda ridiculous and immature. you can just stop moding the thread and give priviliges to someone else. Deleting the fanclub only shows how selfish you are. Maybe others still are Trickster's fans.
Also, the thread was started in may 2011, right? Trickster and FD were already in TSL at that time so your arguments with him not wanting to practice anymore are 3/4 invalid.
Grow up?

Are you totally delusional or just really stupid? I never said Tester doesn't deserve a fanclub becuase of his skill; it's the fact that he isn't putting proper effort into the game. Do I think MC deserves a fanclub even though he's in a slump? Yes I do, it's a totally different issue and you're completely missing the boat. Do i think FD deserves a fanclub? No I don't, but I didn't create the FD fanclub, so it's none of my business. How is that so hard for you to comprehend?

Okay I guess that makes sense, however you cherrypicked your answer comparing tester to only MC. Although Tester doesn’t practice as much, it is highly likely he still practices more than a lot of the players who already have a fan club. It is foolish and subjective to say you must put X amount of effort in to deserve a fanclub.

On September 09 2011 05:35 aaa wrote:


You're right. I did cherry pick my answer, I only compared Tester to FD and MC---the only 2 koreans mentioned in that post. As I said previously, being a member of a Korean team and living in a Korean team house is a totally different issue when contrasted to the living styles and practice regimes of foreign players and thus, I feel it is irrelevant to draw direct comparisons with foreign players.

On September 09 2011 05:44 izgodlee wrote:


Sigh... This still does not answer HOW much effort is required to deserve a fan club. If tester practices an extra hour he deserves it, but an extra 50 minutes and he doesn't? There is also no accurate way of measuring how much he practices. Results are a somewhat good indication, however there are always cases where sometimes a player can practice less and still win against a player who practices more. It's just not reasonabl to remove a fanclub based on the idea that Tester isn't putting in as much effort as he should.

On September 09 2011 05:51 aaa wrote:


That is a matter of your own opinion. I believe it is completely reasonable for me to remove the fan club that I myself created in my own time because I personally believe he is undeserving and you disagreeing or agreeing with me will not change my mind.

On September 09 2011 06:29 izgodlee wrote:


Although you created it on your own time, the reasoning behind the closure of it is, sorry to say, downright retarded. If you are able to provide a spread sheet of all Korean Pro practice hours and are able to know for sure whether Tester is practicing or not then okay, the problem is your baseless opinion, aka talking-out-of-your-ass. Despite all this, you pulled the Annoying Childhood Friend card, so I suppose there is nothing more I can do to convince you as I have already pointed out the obvious flaws of your "X player doesn't deserve fan club because they are not putting in X effort" idea. I guess someone else will have to make a new fan club.

Honestly if Tester doesn't "deserve" a fan club then almost every other player / personality who has a fanclub here doesn't deserve one. You should have asked if someone was willing to take it over before you selfishly decided on your own he's unworthy of one.

The list could go on and on, you aren't one to judge who deserves and doesn't deserve a fanclub and neither am I. Yes you made the original one but it's selfish of you to take it apart because you have a new favorite player or whatever your reasoning is. You aren't a true fan and you shouldn't have made the fanclub in the first place.

This is stupid. When you make a fanclub, it becomes a part of the TL community for fans of a player to congregate. In effect, it becomes a part of the community - it is not "your" fanclub, and the OP had absolutely no right to mess with it. The existence of a fanclub of a player should not just depend on how the OP feels about the player, and I especially cringe to think how Trickster would feel if he was aware of this fanclub, went on TL to check it out, and saw this complete and utter bitch move. Seriously. What OP did is just a glorified player-bash, a complete low-blow. How astoundingly reprehensible.
