He sees you and starts making things up that he knows aren't true so hes just playing around I wouldn't call it "just playing around" if he says these things to someone he doesn't even know. I would call it boasting, bragging, or lying just to impress somebody who he just met. This is the thing that I have always disliked about his personality, he just seems like he does what he does to make people think that he is an impressive player. The fact that he has cheated and noob bashed to get a higher ranking just makes it even more pathetic. | ||

People just smell blood and go berserk just for the sake of it. So this is some random person that made a lot of videos on youtube for low level players. It doesn't meat the standards of TL therefore it's bad for everyone.. So he did actually have 3 illegitimate wins on iccup? Who cares? So he had B- rank which wasn't representative. So? I don't get it. Seems to me TL people just attack everyone outside their community that does something semi-successful;. | ||

And watch any of his videos and see how he talks to people -_- This is an example of what is wrong with ignorant people who don't spend enough time understanding the whole story before forming their opinion. | ||

Here is a guy that has donated hundreds of hours to trying to help newbs the best way he knows how. He records videos of himself playing, and then tries to explain what his methodology is behind his movements. Is his methodology right? Are his strategies sound? Sometimes, no, but that doesn't diminish what he is trying to accomplish - helping people better understand Starcraft. That's it. If you understand Starcraft better than him, then don't watch. So what if he has a little fun with who plays him and has a mini tournament? These are newbs - they need to play a game anyway, and maybe that incentive will cause them to play a little harder? Playing Combat isnt important to you, but to them, it might be. Is that the end of the world for you? Even if he did cheat - that doesn't detract from his philanthropic deeds? I don't think so. If you have such amazing insight into the world of Starcraft, and if this guy is such a vermin to the players who play the game, how about you donate your time with fpvods and commentary? How about you donate countless and thankless hours to trying to better people's playing who you will never meet? Oh. You won't. This guy did though. But yea, fuck him. The only person that ends up losing in this entire situation is the newb that was actually trying to learn something and better their playing ability. | ||

See, we do UNDERSTAND that combat is TRYING to help newbs(as he said himself) get better and understand starcraft, and really, I personally appreciate all the hours he put into them, as it gets more people into starcraft. HOWEVER, that doesn't change the fact he DID abuse the ladder. Now, some of you might be wondering...okay BUT BUT BUT!!! Combat already clarified this in his videos!!!!! NO, NO HE DID NOT. Combat COMPLETELY failed to discuss the replay where he went around hiding pylons with probes and a shuttle. And knowing the internet, some of you will say "BUT HE'S JUST DOING IT FOR FUN". Yes because I am sure it is fun for his opponent to waste 8-9 minutes of his life going around the map to find pylons. From that, we can probably conclude that he's a really BM player. Now if we were to assume that what the german player said was true regarding combat's action (bribing people for free wins), we can safely assume that his skill level is lower than what it shows of iccup. This tricks people into thinking that they are getting fpvods and strategies from a higher level player. What does this lead to? more people donating(at least to some extend)!! So now you are wondering again, WHY SHOULD WE BELIEVE THIS GERMAN GUY INSTEAD? Well, let me tell you, because he just sounds more believable than combat. In combat's "apology" videos, he kept on saying 90% of the accusations are BS. Since he failed to mention this replay and the accusation at all, I will assume that his response for this is that "It's BS" "BUT COMBAT, IT SHOWS YOU HIDING PYLONS" "its BS" "BUT BUT COMBAT, IT SHOWS YOU BMing THE OTHER GUY AND NOT LEAVING" "its BS" "BUT BUT BUT COMBAT, YOU CLEARLY HAD NO CHANCE OF WINNING AS YOU WERE LEFT WITH 1 PROBE" "its BS" So on one hand we have a guy that provides us with a replay to back his claims, and then we have combat who's only response is that "it's BS". Who's more believable? HMMM..... So you see...him abusing iccup probably does somewhat affect the amount of donations he's getting. which means he's doing it for personal gains, and I look down upon him for that. AS for those of you who kept on saying he's amazing because he provides FPVODS and commentaries, read through this topic. You'll find someone had posted/mentioned other alternative sources. Oh and yes I am aware that some people are just here to flame him because they dislike him etc. etc. | ||

now for the rest of the people making fun of his skill level and his vods, you really shouldn't because if he doesnt help the noobs who will? he's a least good enough to teach people not to go forge first pvt. | ||

well technically his statement isn't false. pro short professional can be defined as such: A professional can be either a person in a profession (certain types of skilled work requiring formal training/education) or in sports (a sportsman/sportwoman doing sports for payment) by making any kind of money he could consider himself pro and well he's playing a game, thus he is a gamer | ||
