Maynard was a great player and I haven't talked to him in years, but...all this talk of Maynard winning stuff is a bit odd. I can't remember him winning anything of note (neither PGL, wasn't in the BW ladder tournaments, lost all the I2E2 tournaments as I believe he lost to a DT rush in the one final he made). 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.

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.

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 don't believe this at all, age of empires came out a bit earlier i think (1997) and transfering workers from one resource to another was really common in that game. I don't think Maynard invented it, he just popularised it. Such a simple thing as Maynarding isn't really invented anyone with a brain thought of it by themselves eventually. Tons of stuff get's credited to pro's while they weren't the first to do it, actually proofing or disproofing such things is ofcourse impossible...

The majority of the players who dominated the first few years of SC came from playing very competitvely WAR2 on Kali.
The level of competition on Kali was way above anything bnet had to offer for a long time.

I don't think that is BW Maynard that popularized making workers all game and putting pylons in the mineral line to block workers.

If you don't know, Maynard (the real-life person, full name Maynard James Keenan) is a frontman and singer for the bands Tool, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer. I think that there is a high possibility of the man being a metalhead and a fan of those bands, so he named himself Maynard
If you make no mistake, yet still lose - you don't understand the game. Spiral out, keep going.

it's similiar to magic boxing versus splash damage. now a standard, but when it came out everyone was like woooah

As a politics student I have always found it interesting that the person who invented the worker transfer uses the id of the middle name of john maynard keynes, the most influencial political economist of the twentieth century, who purported sacrificing capital when you are rich in order to smooth growth out when you are poor :d

Edit, tried to make my terrible eight o'clock in the morning english make sense.


Lmao it was his self-written destiny.


I would really like to ask him why he called himself maynard, it is a pretty obscure name after all :p


Maynard isn't obscure at all, it's a common last name.

I remember hearing a lot about this guy with regard to the worker transfer back in the beta days, but not too much lately.

The real Maynard did play sc2 a bit around Sept. he was attempting to get GM and almost attended MLG Anaheim. He was top masters as Z, and this playhem guy is T.. Seems like a Korean T smurf account.

I found all this out by searching his post history in his recent blogs.

God forbid there are people with the same id on battle.net

I guess the person I just randomly played name Alive is TSL_Alive right? Or maybe the person with the name JulyZerg is ST_July right?

Why are individuals so naive about names on bnet 2.0? There are char codes for a reason and its for this reason that name trumping others is so easy to do let alone its so easy for people to believe just that based on assumptions.

He isn't marinekingprime, mma, or bomber. I'll check more. 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?

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.


Check Bitbybit.
