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... | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
