And of everybody in this thread my guess is the person to look at is Atlas as Atlas (assuming he's Atlas) has known Maynard for a long time.  | ||

Khalsa sent him to Korea and only Grrr had any real success there out of the 4 Khalsa sent. He then went a different direction altogether. And of everybody in this thread my guess is the person to look at is Atlas as Atlas (assuming he's Atlas) has known Maynard for a long time. Yeah, AFAIK, he's only really known for moving workers from 1 base to another which is a completely epic thing to be known for because its so obvious if you look back on it. | ||

If anyone has replays that are confirmed to be the real maynard those would be the most helpful. You shouod not check the top terrans. If any of those really participated in playhem, they would crush them, not finish 2nd or 3rd. So it's probably a B teamer terran, who has not a salary etc and want some money? | ||

So it's probably a B teamer terran, who has not a salary etc and want some money? Gimme some examples. So far ive checked MKP, Bomber, Puma, MMA, Keen, MVP, TheSTC, SelecT, aLive, Thorzain, beastyqt, empirehappy, kas, brat_ok, boxer, poltprime, ogstop, Jinro, tarson, slayersdragon, and probably a few others. Basically went down the list of replays at gosugamers.net and checked most of the terrans. I'd be willing to believe its the real maynard if fayth isnt joking as he would be a person that would know that kind of thing. If anyone wants me to check if its someone, lemme know. Im stopping for now though. | ||

So the "maynard transfer" is just transferring workers to another base, that's it? I don't understand how people seem to find this impressive. Did others not transfer workers before he did it? It's like the most logical thing. | ||

Did others not transfer workers before he did it? It's like the most logical thing. When starcraft 1 first came out you have to understand that people had literally 0 idea of how to play. So no, people didnt transfer workers. They may not have even produced enough to do a transfer. He was the first to do it afaik, or at least he popularized it. Seems simple, but its hard to say if you would figure it out in the same amount of time he did given the circumstances. | ||

I think we came to the conclusion we already knew it wasnt maynard and someone suggested TSLHeat and his hotkeys in replays seem to confirm it. | ||

We've recently gotten some of the old gang together and we chill in #kali on BNET. Anyways Maynard does exist, plays regularly, is not the guy from Playhem, *is* still a viciously good player, was part of that first generation of great thinkers who really carved out some of those first strategies in Starcraft 1, might not have won everything but he sure has heck was a huge part of that original community, and hooray for Starcraft history!  <3 | ||
