See: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=308886¤tpage=2 The OP in that thread - the organizer of Playhem? - says they are 2 different people, but he could be wrong. Someone said he could be MarineKingPrime.We | ||

http://www.perkinscoie.com/mbombach/ ... then he and I have downright eerily similar career trajectories. 1. Similar undergrad degrees, obtained a year apart 2. Both worked at Raytheon (albeit different divisions) for a few years before going to law school, 3. Both got JDs, obtained 2 years apart 4. Both going into patent litigation Weird. | ||

Also if you look at his game vs non known zerg's he'll pretty much 2 rax every time. Literally every time which if you know any korean top players the top terran korean players say they'll 2 rax a foreigner they don't know of every time because they don't think they are good enough to fend it off. | ||

Yea, I'd highly doubt the real Maynard has time to play that many playhems, etc. He's older and is a lawyer... doesn't exactly leave much time for gaming. | ||

If he was a foreigner playing SC2 full time today, we could probably compare him to Kiwikaki in terms of strategy micro and stephano in terms of success | ||

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 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. | ||

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 | ||

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... | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
