If someone can find out hazy's iccup aka or combat can tell people in a video I think that they'd doubt his skill level less, because I'm pretty sure that A ranked players don't go around giving out free wins, and even if he didn't try his hardest against combat an A ranked player can still smash lower level players easily only using mouse. you mean the HaZy.BreeZe that goes to his high school for 5 years?

And don't just say play more often. Assume that they ARE playing a lot but still want some kind of help. A VOD seems like the best method for this so where else if not Combat? As far as I can tell there is no better alternative. Watching FPVODS of progamers are nice but are no where near as good as having the person playing walking you through what's going on. I did find a few other VODS on youtube buy ALL of the other accounts were either dead or didn't have commentary. So if Combat-Ex's advice isn't valid then please by all means get on YouTube and offer something better. Until then you will just be considered a jealous hater. The truth is that Combat has gotten a lot of new players into SC and old players back into SC. If the advice is bad then who cares people will learn else where. The point is that they are playing again. So again until someone offers something better. Shut up. In the mean time be happy that YT has revitalized SC. And again I can't stress this enough, get on YT and give it your own go. YT is the wave of the future, it's time to evolve. You seriously can't improve playing by yourself? Play, watch replays, fix what you do wrong. Not that hard. | ||

(I'm like the only terran who doesn't think that) and i think idra is trying to save low level terrans from the nightmarish hell that is the d levels of iccup. as a lower terran it is so fucking difficult to handle all of the cheese that is thrown at you, proxy 2 gates, 5 pools, etc. most of the people in tvt cheese too :[ | ||

Yeah, he probably does help D- players, but he is an abuser and sounds really annoying, and many people have listed alternatives. He's also pretty arrogant. Although one time I think he said "I'm not that good, this is for noobs," the majority of the time he talks about his sick timing and unreal micro. I've never heard LastShadow IRL but I imagine he'd sound like this. | ||

I'd understand all the angst if he looked like bragging sucker who always tells how he's B- since obviously his current account isn't really accurate. You may call him cheater, I'd say he looks like a guy playing his friends. Wow, what a crime. Anyway, considering I've watched about 5 of his vods (months ago) I never heard him say his own iccup rank. I remember actually thinking of asking him about it since I thought he should have mentioned it already. Now I don't think this sounds too much of a selfboosting actually. I know I wouldn't play friends in iccup with my real name since the system at low ranks allows everybody to raise to something like C or C+ by just playing 1:1 against friends 5 games a day but I don't see what's the problem since it hasn't looked like he's bragging about his rank. I somewhat agree on the point about the "click these ads as appreciation so I get money" videos, the idea of asking such is rather self-deprecating and inconsiderate. As he has said, his videos aren't meant for C+ people to become "as good as him" but newbies of D- to D+ caliber mainly. I'm sure many of them actually benefit from these videos. Many people enjoy self-commentated FPVODs instead of learning from replays about buildorders and such, and I don't think there's many people to compete for the viewers on this category. | ||
