Like I said, you aren't a member of the community and your saying ignorant things, do some reading so that you don't sound stupid. In 2004 testie was a sick gamer also, your facts suck.

I recommend you click TLPD on the right and look at a couple of recent games to get an idea of how play has changed...Your thread on PvZ exemplifies how outdated you are.

After them i'd have to give it to Testie/Mondi/Draco.

You mentioned 2 of them, and the only other player in your list that could ever claim to have been among the top3 foreigners is Smuft.

A hint that might enlighten you is that the good foreigners never even bothered to enter US east.


smuft, draco, daaman, and testie I never went worse than 50-50 with, and I played them all at least 5 times.... really doubt it's gotten THAT much better over 4 years.

PvP and PvZ would both be matchups that Testie didn't practice unless i completely missed it, he certainly didnt play them in serious matches so you offracing doesnt mean much when he does the same.

I can prove this point really easily.

Find out what iccup is, log on. type /m get.attackzerg and I'll show you how play has changed. We can even play the outdated (terrible) maps that know.

in what year? like 2004? dude, if you compared how they played back then to now, they would be below average players. The game has evolved so much since then.

Your wins mean nothing in today's game dude. But you don't need to listen to me, get on iccup (the main starcraft competitive ladder), and see how good people are.



ill do that tonight


Alrighty then. Tell us what you think.

btw AttackZerg is 100% right.

Strange that you never even got on the US team then as we walked over you and i dare say that none of the players on the team would score 50% against Smuft/Daaman in 01/02, in 03/04 when draco/testie got very good, no american would.

You're in for a rude awakening. Please post your replay pack from ICCup. I predict we never hear back from you but I'd love to be proven wrong.

Man I used to LOVE watched testie replays and reading Battle Reports of Testie. He got me motivated to stop playing UMS and Money maps.

Good job blindly posting something like this when you have no idea of my level of skill or handspeed. A lot of people can understand the game and what builds you need to use, very few have the actual speed to be able to turn that knowledge into WINS against other good players. I'll gladly try iccup as well, thanks for blindly doubting me!!!

talk about taking credit for something completely out of your hands ;p

Seriously though, nooks and nero kicked ass, I never really knew saddles too well, always seemed a bit cocky.

edit - if nooks returned to bw I would too

But your knowledge is outdated.

testie could have gone pro ... too bad too bad..



he sucked unless he had his hacks on..... didn't he lose most offline matches he went to? the 6 or 7 times I played him i won at least 50-50.... I think he was over rated

You are terribly fucking wrong.

He was a hacker before he become the international force that was testie. When he was young he didn't do well, as he got older he did great.

Good job on beating him, I fortunately got to observe him and replays of him against every good player in 2003-2004 when he spent some time helping me. Testie is up there with mondi and draco and grrrr... He is also one of the select few non koreans to beat pro gamers in tournament play...

Just because your back doesn't mean you can post like this man....

(P.S testie posts here , don't make an inactive canadian come beat you down )

I remember SaddleS. was kind of a newb back in the day, nothing special. Just like NookS that he mentioned. Compareably to let's say, average LighT members nowadays. But of course the skill level got much better so now hes prolly c- at best.

You realize I've played you back in your "glory days" and you are significantly overstating your skill level at that time. Regardless, I believe you will not do well as you have no understanding of the current strategies. More importantly, the importance of mechanics has shifted to a level you won't be used to: Micro is a lot cleaner and efficient and macro is quite a bit more important than back in the day. You will beat low level players who aren't used to your older style, but once you get anywhere in the middle skill level it will all come crashing down.
