Its not like he micros or anything, but still impressive. Oh and btw boxer kind of abused him to win. ![]() i knew about the other stuff, but the bolded move is fucking pimp. | ||

and when he took it off, (like mentioned above) he was totally behind, while the blind guy ling rushed him... Basically what happened was BoxeR had to lift, (btw, map was indeed challanger) and take a mineral only expo. The blind guy eventually found it, and brought like lurk/ling and killed it. BoxeR lifted it, waited, then landed back at the same place. The blind guy, thinking he went to islands, got ovie drop/speed. Boxer gets gas from his original main by building a cc to a corner, so that the ling that's covering the spot wasn't close enough to attack... There was one sexy moment when the blind guy brought like 10 hydras to BoxeR's mineral-only (his main base in this case) and morphed em all at once... while boxer had like 10-ish marines, and no medics. He quickly built like 5 bunkers and a few turrets, and as soon as the lurkers morphed, boxer stims, and attacks while the lurkers start to burrow. Then he sends all his marines into the bunkers, and just barely kills em all as he looses most of his bunkers/rines...' boxer eventually wins cuz he walks his units behind the dude's base... so he doesn't know, then attacks all his drones, and catches him completely off guard... it was nice, and cheap at the same time. | ||

Maybe he did it so Min-seok's friends could tell him that Boxer admired him after the game. I thought that game was really good. At first I thought it was pretty bad mannered of Boxer to play the way he did. Then I thought about it some more, and it seemed like Boxer was intentionally trying to trick the blind player just to see how he would respond. I think the response of Min-seok, the way he reacted to Boxer's trickery, was what truly impressed Boxer. | ||

Maybe you should just try not posting on the internet because you are clearly not very good at it(Thus please realize your own limits and stop)! | ||

Any player spending the same amount of practice this guy has will beat the shit out of him. I forgot the "we have to suck cripples dick", im not saying any lie at all, he is blind so he will freaking suck at things that require sight, if you have a limitation then go find another way, dont insist to view when you cant. And why im not aware of my own limitations, dont reply things without thinking before ok? | ||

What limitations of ur own have u surpassed? errr... limitations cant be surpassed lol, thats why they are limitations >.< He hasnt surpassed anything, he is just a blind that try to play bw, what is so awesome about him, so he pseudo-plays bw guided by sound, so?... do you have a record of other blind people trying this and failing?.. because that would mean he actually is excelling from others but wait.. he is not, he is simply doing something other blinds arent that stupid to try. I find dumb that he tries to do that instead of other things he can do way better, but i guess everyone can spend their time as they want, the problem is that you all suck his cock for doing absolutely nothing, he hasnt excelled in anything at all still i see his cock really soaking in saliva. | ||

In the other thread you said "I won't understand because I am young." Yes i am young, I'm only 19, but do you get the picture that your opinions can be wrong? Or do you still think you are the only right person and all these other people who disagree with you are too young/stupid to understand. | ||

So why can't blind player plays bw even if it's hard ? Think about it. I have nothing against him playing, i think its kind of dumb if he can do other things like probably playing music or plenty of other things, but if he likes it, its kinda ok if he does, what i dont agree with, is that people suck his cock for being blind and playing wtf! You are deaf and you play BW, i think you wouldnt like people giving you props and cheering you, only because you are a handicapped, atleast i would like to be appreciated for something i really do well not for phoney simpathy to wash away their guilt in their subconcient, i find it disgusting and probably you have felt that phoney simpathy. Probably you understand what im saying, if i were a handicapped i would like to be appreciated for what i am, not because im a fucking cripple everyone has to pity me and suck my dick for things i dont deserve. And louden you are a moron, why asking for a Ban im simply posting my opinion, its not as politically correct as yours... so bohooo ban anyone who disagrees with your phoney beliefs? | ||

Not one person sucked his cock for being blind and playing SC when you 1st posted this argument in the thread. No one even said anything positive about it before you posted. The only post I saw after skimming thru here that can even remotely be related to cock sucking is Bard's post, which wasn't really aimed at the blind kid as much as it was SC itself (Edit - And lastas' post can also be remotely related to cock sucking even though he only commented on his expanding) So unless there was another thread on this topic or you're talking about the WGT thread, I think no one is going to agree with this stupid argument of yours | ||

I'm not sucking his cock, it's just that he can do something I cannot and people are always amazed by things they can't do and never in their dreams could picture themselves doing it. I'm really impressed, how you can get on with live, even if you do not have eyesight. Edit: What I agree on with you is that I don't like people with that condescending pity (can't express it better in english), but I really didn't feel too much in this thread. | ||

Right, because Chris, a person who has played the game many times with perfectly clear vision, is comparable to someone who has never seen any part of this game EVER. Also, a terran computer is comparable to arguably the best starcraft player in history. Great analogy, big guy. Did you get picked on by the blind kids in school or something? | ||

Before anyone tryed to make a boat the sea was our limits when someone did we enlarged our limits.Sea was no longer such a problem as before. Is it that hard to understand? I don't know about u but I don't know if u would have the strengh to handle blindness.We congrat that kid by knowing his limits and not acepting them. btw, I don't understand how can anyone not feel pity for those people and feel amazed when they can live fulfill their dreams or projectes. | ||

I hate it when people treat someone else so differently and phoneyly(thats not a word right? :-p) because they are some how "inferior" to them. They feel like need to symphathize them. Like when they talk slowly and try to pretend to be best buds with the guy. But its not the fault of the guy who is getting treated differently. If anything, I'm sure he just wants to be treated like any other normal person. Its the fault of society in general for this crap, its ridiculous. | ||

I'm saying that due to various circumstances, you've become an extremely realistic person. I read your posts, and I read peoples responses to them, and the thing that they never understand is that in reality, as harsh as it is, you're usually right. Trying your hardest to do things that normal people can do while being limited in ways they are not will not help you, it will bring you temporary happiness because of the people that will be impressed, but in the end, you are left with nothing. However, it is his choice, and you know what, playing bw blinded, as futile as it seems realistically, is a respectable thing to accomplish, you may not be good, you may not win, but can you imagine what goes through his head when he plays sc? Do you imagine how proud of himself he is when he has learned to accomodate to bw in ways some people can't even imagine? Can you imagine the amount of happiness this young man has accumulated? Perhaps this happiness, being that it is based on the responses he generates from awed audiences, seems empty and shallow, but can you honestly say that your happiness is any less so? However, realistically, this man has achieved no more, and probably much less, than people who play the exact same game, and even though he has dedicated himself to playing it even with his limitations, it's time he moved on from this dream, and learned to use what he has, and not what he has not. Regardless, I truly believe that baal does not deserve to be flamed for responding in the manner he did, nor does anyone else for the same, a persons view point need be understood, not condemned. | ||

Logic, what part of baal's assertion that this boy is a dumbass, an idiot with unrealistic goals, do you find "right"? I also find it particularly ridiculous that you would presume to know what would make this boy happy, or why he's set such a goal for himself. Is it because you find starcraft to be a trivial hobby? Would you say the same thing to an American boy in a wheelchair who wants to play basketball with his friends? I don't even know what you think, as your post is a huge contradiction. Well, I don't agree completely with the way he said it, but I do see what means by it. ("it" being his harsh words) I never said I agreed with him. I said he was "right" in terms of being beneficial to you realistically, which (I may be wrong) I don't think being able to play starcraft while being blind would be. I didn't assume I knew what made him happy, but I thought I would use it in the context given to me(by baal) where he generally states that he thinks this boy is made happy by the people that are impressed with him, which may either be one, or none of a lot of things that do so. Keep in mind that my post is only a contradiction if I said I agreed with baal, or the things I was pointing out that are merely the results of looking at this situation in as close as eyes as I can get to baal's. | ||

First of all, I was unnesessarily curt with that post, and I'm sorry. I had a long day at work. The real problem I had was just covered by FrEaK, in the sense that I think part of this boy's happiness would be derived from the fact that he was able to do something that made him feel just a small bit normal, a small bit like his friends, not to impress them by overcoming God's twisted designs. I don't think there's anything even in the slightest wrong with this, and was pretty annoyed that someone would have the gall to call him a dumbass for wanting this. There are tons of viewpoints a person can have, but "ignorance" isn't one of them, and I consider what baal said to be ignorant. | ||

I can only imagine what kind of dedication it would take to become, hmm, how can I say this... passable as a player, able to control, etc, without having sight in such a sight-oriented game. I can only imagine what motivated him to do this, be it wanting to be accepted by his friends on yet another level, or something outside my comprehension altogether. Regardless, I think this person is a very respectable and dignified human being, with more integrity perhaps than I'll ever hope to imagine having. Despite what I've just said, however(which may seem like another contradiction), can you see the relevance of baal's post? What happens when he is no longer made happy by being able to do this? What happens when he must move on...? What happens if baal was right and he was made happy by the audiences response? I think that we are expressing our compassion, only in different ways(including hard-talking baal). | ||

Why cheering someone who isnt even aware of their own limits, i think its the same, if the girl finds joy in doing that well goo for her as long as she is totally aware its futile and dumb, but that isnt reason for people to give props to her. | ||

He will also take with him the knowledge that he can do things some would have considered impossible. I don't know about anyone else, but that would make me feel pretty fucking good. People spend years playing football, basketball, baseball, and some may never play another game after high school. Does that mean it was all a waste? I'd say no. What happens if baal was right and he was made happy by the audiences response? I think that we are expressing our compassion, only in different ways(including hard-talking baal). I think it's bizarre to assume that this boy would go through all this trouble to receive what most "disabled" people despise, accolades for doing something normal. He wanted to learn the game when he heard older kids from his school (who were half blind) talking about it. He even said "It was really difficult for me to learn this game because I was not able to see the screen at all, but I just wanted to enjoy with them. Night after night, I finally succeed".

He played games on Battlenet and won. He wanted to play with his friends and enjoy himself, and in that regard he was a total success. Who are you to judge him with your egotistical standards of ability? You need to learn how to make a basic analogy before trying a complete argument. Beauty pageant? They're not even remotely comparable, and you're just grasping at straws now. | ||

ive been a member of this site for 2 yrs and i will add that the statements are not explosive, but rather progressive. i hardly post much, and about personal matters like these even less so. 2nd... i dont care who is influeced by me saying that , i just dont like , not so much his statements, but his intentions. and well im sorry if my words were a lil too harsh but those were my sentiments exactly. i only feel justified in what i said by observing the manner of how baal posts and the way he choses to direct them. | ||

Essentially, I think, nothing is a "waste of time", due to the fact that from every occurance there is something that you can learn and apply universally, just like what you said, knowing that you can do what others think is impossible, however, on baal's side(maybe I've deviated to far at this point, but alas) I think he simply means there are many more practical and realistic things that could have proven to be more of an aid in the future when he will move on to other things, that may have given him more realistically usable things to apply in terms of his future(which seems to be quite important to baal). | ||

0_0 Anyway, basically what I mean is, I think baal thinks there are 'better' things he could have done with his time, and it seems to him this is "dumb" because of that. One example would be, using his analogy from one of his previous posts, that face-lacking lady that entered the beauty pageant. I think one of the things that he was saying (I say one of because it was quite clear he was placing emphasis on the assumption that she was doing this because people thought she didn't have a chance at winning) was that there are so many better options that she can do with full regards to her limitation like... well, without a face, I don't know if she can see, but anyway, she could get more schooling with the money and time spent entering the pageant, which may prove more beneficial to her than going to the pageant, she could spend time learning how to, well, basically do anything that doesn't require a beautiful or present face, and yet she still chooses the pageant. | ||

About doing "useful" things, you misunderstand me, i am not a "be productive or die" zealot, what i mean is why a would a girl without face enter to a beauty contest?... think whoever who reads this... why of all the things in the world she would choose to do what she will suck at?, probably because she will be foolishly praised for doing it as you praise the blind guy, or probably other reason. If you dont think people feel this phoney simpathy for him, then why in the hell he was invited to play vs boxer?.... Testie plays with his feet but i dont see him in an exibition match against boxer , do you want to know why? because people like you deep in inside try to wash away their "sins" offering phoney shit for "needed" people, i dont have this need and i can say the blind guy sucks at BW, and you guys suck at living. | ||

What is the big fucking deal? Why must baal degrade him for wanting to play starcraft, just because he is blind. You say I defend him because he is blind. I defend him because he's a person. Baal attacks the person because he is blind, he treats him as if he is somehow very different from himself, somehow less than baal is. Fuckin condescending piece of shit. I used to like baal, but the more you talk to him the more you learn his view of the world is terribly skewed with thoughts that nobody is better than him. | ||

He wasn't trying to be normal or some stupid shit like that, he can already do that with his music. He wanted to experience STARCRAFT, it had nothing to do with being normal. He's wanting to experience an amazing game and baal bashes him for it, claiming he shouldn't even try just because he's fucking blind.

If we praise someone for being gosu at broodwar, we are praising them for a huge accomplishment which took a lot of work. Same in the blind guys case; we are praising him because of a huge accomplishment, not for being a great player. While I am extremely pro-ego, you just seem to hate blind people. | ||

you dont have to agree with us (these people are flaming you like crazy and its stupid), but just also try to see it from the other side. if one day you suddenly became blind, wouldnt you want to continue some of the activities you enjoyed? or do other things that require sight? you could never drive a car again. theres a girl that goes to my school and has no legs. shes very smart and perfectly normal in all other ways. lets say she drops her notebook on the floor and cant pick it up. should we hate her because shes trying to learn? again, just showing both sides and asking you to consider. i think we need to stop flaming people who we disagree with. | ||

so why would this kid be so special ? where did all your admiration come from? when the thread was open you didn't even knew how he looked ,and never(probably)seen him play but still it was like: "oh man this is so fucking great" (so don't tell me it wasn't only because he was blind) Beethoven continued to compose music while deaf. some people were saying:great music others:he is deaf and still great music they always put the deaf part before the music part like you do now: "he is blind and plays starcraft, this is so great" If he only played because he wanted to have a feel of starcraft and because his friends were doing it i don't see what is so great about it. | ||
