First off I want to clarify that I'm not talking about everyone's favorite murderous werewolf thug from Harry Potter, but rather the new surprise leader of the NA ladder.

An impression was first made on me sometime last ladder season when I watched Fenrir beat SeleCT on stream after a ~45min back and forth game. This happened again last week and that's when I decided to do some further investigating.
Here is how things stand at the moment:

This player is truly of high caliber, having won macro games against the very best players on the NA ladder including: Idra, select, ganzi, ret, ostojiy, scarlett and many others.
Initially I suspected this account was Ostojiy's smurf since it has a similar win rate to his from 2 seasons prior. But it's not..

It's not Scarlett either:

I'm sure a lot of people will think this is a Korean smurf but I think it's unlikely when you take into consideration that this account has been around since season 1 and has progressed from diamond, through master and then to GM.

This is further reinforced by last season's record which has been improved upon, but not to the point where it looks like another person has taken over the account. It's been gradual progression all the way. (from around 71% to about 88% Win rate)

Who is the Batman?

I am Batman.
As for Fenrir I have no idea but your OP sure has me intrigued O__o I saw him beat SeleCT last seaon too haha
|
Fenrir is a hero Diamond back in the UMS Special Forces Elite. He's permanently cloaked and has Shoot on the move abilites like other diamond backs, And also does extra damage to Armored units.
|
Probably a korean or euro player
Just curious, why would you show him winning vs a barcode player and assume its scarlett? Theres like so many barcode players now on NA ..
|

|
Probably some Korean smurf still, well even if it was diamond since season 1 could just been borrowing the account or just not playing enough to get higher ranks.
Edit: MVP.Tails is playing him now on his stream, he's not Korean since Tails typed in Korean and he didn't understand a fuzz, Fenrir said to him to speak English. Hmm, probably some EU smurf then...

Because Harry Potter created Fenrir.

i dont think he was implying that either.

If you find a replay of him you can check the hotkeys. The hotkeys someone uses tells alot about them.
|
looked like nerchio to me
|
probably just some random na player.
|
probably a korean or high-skilled eu player.
|
this guy said he was eh.. south america, i think he's korean, most likely tsl_revival? maybe? i lost to him on ladder 3x now T.T... FML
|
It's the start of the leader board, give it time before asking who this new person is.
|
I'm not gonna bm him because he beat me 3-1 and might read this, but his micro is mediocre.
that is all...

+ Show Spoiler +![[image loading]](http://www1.eveinfo.com/gfx/Renders/20189.png) Duh
On a more serious note, it could be a person who actually was diamond, then master, then GM, which would be pretty cool. But it was probably someone who was masters and then paid someone to boost their account to gm.

Someone that used the name Fenrir used to stream snipe a lot of people 6+ months ago. I remember it happening to Destiny, Psy and I think Spanishiwa. He was pretty good and played Protoss if I remember correctly.

Slightly related: I thought this was a good idea: for someone that hides the control group bar on the screen, you can essentially randomize the groups you are using by, say, changing the hotkey for control group 3 to ctrl+1 etc. so that it will show up weird on the screen for anyone going through your replays while you would notice no difference at all yourself.

Almost sure that he is brazillian he played a championship with Dakkon few days ago and in his nick there was a brazillian sign (banner)
So judging by this he some unknown and skilled brazillian guy
^^

I secretly wish it was Day[9], but think it's probably just some random NA person.

Aí cara você tá falando na língua errada.
Hey man you're talking in the wrong language, it's english only in here.
|
could be Dimaga. I watch him a lot and his Fenrir's build orders look similar. Not many zergs go ling bane vs toss, especially with that win %
|
Could be a Brood War pro? Didn't have as much time to play so just played casually in the early seasons (so they didn't go higher than diamond) but now that they're focusing on sc2 a bit more the player's been promoted to GM?
|
I played a zerg that was Low gm a couple of seasons ago with the name Fenrir. Also there is an Aussie on TL with that name. Must just be a coincidence t.t.

I actually considered this until I remembered that Day9 used to be GM with all 3 races... and probably still is. So because this guy started in Diamond, unfortunately, it is not Mr. J.

Stephano.

Idra destroyed him the other day
|
I'm almost certain he's not Korean, but no idea beyond that. According to sc2gears his hotkeys don't match those of Nerchio.
