He should be a politician. How can someone blatantly lie like this and not feel shame? Apologies of complete lies, it's just hilarious if youtube wasn't fliled with idiots it would be obvious he's clearly lying.

Prove it. Not that you have to, but I find a B player seeing nothing wrong with his analysis unbelievable.

Mods are here to stop personal attacks. I see nothing wrong with people commenting on things Combat himself put in the public domain.

I almost sorta feel sorry for him.. until I watch the videos and see how his 'apology' consists of lies and other various things (bringing up the Testie situation from a while back... bringing up Dino? WTF?)

What kind of 'apology' references the viewer to other players and tries to compare himself to them? Combat / Testie aren't the same at all IMO. Testie was a Canada player that was caught hacking, then came clean and was still a good player. Combat's a Canada player (which is probably the only same thing between them) who abused a ladder to make himself look better than he really is, and asked for money repeatedly on YouTube from people who didn't realize what was going on.

Hi guys, I'm a total newb, but just thought I'd post my thoughts.

Firstly, I haven't played on ICC cup yet as I'd get thrashed, I'd like to have some idea of what I'm doing before I jump in. As such I don't know about the abusing, but if he has, then he should get whatever penalty is appropriate in the ICC cup.

I think that this is a separate issue from his youtube videos. While I don't doubt that there are many people much better than combat-ex, none of them post more than a few FPVods. His videos have proven very useful to me. While I don't doubt that there are errors in them, they are nowhere near as bad as the errors that I currently make. My playing has improved significantly since watching them and I find them much more helpful than replays or forum posts- even high quality ones- as I can see what I should be doing on the screen.

To those who say- "But he's giving you the wrong advice", the way to counter this is to create your own, better, FPVods. Just knocking his doesn't help me (and other newbs) learn.

On a side note- I find his commentary style enjoyable to listen to, if you don't, then just don't listen. If there are other prolific FPVod producers out there, it'd be great if someone could throw me a link.

EDIT: Changed the phrasing of the last sentence

great, more power to you, just don't give him your money

combat is like scientology, almost

FFS he made me watch 9 minutes to actually admit the abuse everyone except fanboys have figured out already. Do cheaters always have to have the truth dragged out of them, and only admit what is proven beyond repair, and then make up some faggot excuse?

So I watched the "apology" on youtube, but it wasn't really an apology at all. To summarize he stated that he used free wins because someone had hacked his account and iccup admins fixed his account, but it wasn't quite how he wanted it or something so he thought a few free wins were deserved, and besides, "a few free wins out of 80 games don't really matter". He goes on to say he doesn't care if people insult his videos and then on some more to say please don't insult his videos. He also claims that mostly everything in this thread is bullshit, including incontrol's comments and that everyone here is just jealous which is why there are 13 pages of insults. His major theme is that his videos are for noobs and if you don't find them useful then don't watch them and mind your own business.

All this may seem plausible but I have first hand experience with him and know how full of shit he really is, and I'm guessing so do other people which is thus why there are 13 pages here. Bascially I was hosting public b.net game and he joins, I already knew what an ego he had, so I said "are you good?" Just to see what he would say. To my amazement he was modest initially asking if I was good and then when I said yes, he said he was too and plays at his opponent's skill level. But then for some reason he started talking about how he is top 20 canada, and that he is semi-progamer getting paid to play. When I asked how he makes money he said blizzard and other companies pay him 20$ per day (which is a blatant lie, as he does indeed make money but it is from begging for donations on youtube). This wasn't the first time he has joined my games and started talking himself up even without me saying anything to get him started.

I wish I had replay with text, but I did take one screen shot because I found it so humorous:

Combat says he makes his videos to help noobs, but the real reason is he makes them to feed his ego. This is the reason there are so many people that dislike him, people dislike liars and people dislike those whom are full of themselves.

As bad as comat is.....you have to be retarded to think he's trying to fool you by saying those things that looked like he was just playing around. Something along the lines of "make bc against protoss because it's good" and telling incontrol he's famous seems slightly funny because he knows inc is way more famous than him so THIS really is just nonsense all the other stuff about him is true though

If it were anyone else you'd probably be right.

Besides there was some truth to the stuff he said so I doubt he was joking, keep in mind he had no idea who I was, etc.

Bleh, aside from all this bashing on Combat who appears to be a douche and not deserving of my time, I started playing on ICCUP over the weekend and went straight to D+ and on to C- pretty easily. ICCUP rankings seem much weaker than what I remember PGT to be. I'm afraid to interpret it the other way, that I got that much better, because the hope will probably be crushed when someone confirms that ICCUP is much weaker.

Him having no idea who you are is the reason why hes joking. He sees you and starts making things up that he knows aren't true so hes just playing around
