what happened between him and desrow? He mentioned it in the reddit thread but I heard nothing of this.. all I knew was desrow flew in to coach him some.


He said he felt a bit mistreated, I guess that was because desrow was really harshly critizising him and not that much appreciating what he had to say. But MaximusBlack said that things calmed down and they're still friends.

Quite clearly a personality pickup and nothing to do with his play. best of luck to quantic anyway.


Pretty much spot on. Personality goes further than skill in the foreign sc2 scene.

Still, considering how much he has improved the last 6 months and the fact that he seems quite dedicated He could be heading towards some better results in the future.

Grats, Maybe he will later be able to take the step from personality/billboard to kicking ass and taking names with the academy.

More like north american scene..

on topic: Well, he seems a good entertainer (just checked his stream after this thread showed up and he was dancing, signing, ..) and that's basicly it. Gratz and goodluck to both parties nonetheless.

I played this guy in diamond a few months ago and it was the most pathetic attempt at a cannon rush ive ever seen. Why people care about this guy I'll never know. In my opinion a talentless hack.

To be fair, when a cannon rush doesn't work, it always looks pathetic (unless gaulzi's doing it; then it's tragic and heroic).

And you wonder why the North American teams are the richest teams despite everyone telling them they never post results...

Hmm... I wonder..

I love this. So much. Congrats to MB, Quantic is a stable team with the means to help him grow as a player. This is like triumph of the nerds. Epic win for Jeff. Actually, epic win for Quantic and Razer, too.

It's a point of teams to be fostering talent, as opposed to just picking up the latest winner of "X" tournament.

Not to mention it makes a good story, when someone overcomes strife and naysayers, to rise up and discover their potential.

I wish him good luck in his journey!
