He missed an entire year of proleague + starleagues so he could try studying?

did you see the last msl? or starcraft in the past few months?


Hydra: Won MSL by lucking out ZvZ semifinals and finals. 4-6 in Proleague since. Hydra is not the second coming of Effort. Effort is.

Is this guy going to get an apology?

Doubt he was warned for his guess. It's more likely he was warned for spreading misinformation (such as KeSPA disallowing SC2 teams).

Ugh, it's common sense. They already disallowed BW teams from having sc2 divisions (the only reason why WeMade has two sc2 players is because they used to be WC3 players, and the ban prevented only BW players from switching while remaining on their teams.

I'm pretty sure he was warned for derailing the thread. Kinda what you're doing right now.

edit: fuck, me too.

I'm cautiously optimistic. EffOrt hadn't looked quite as good in 2010 (beating Flash notwithstanding, of course); he had only won 54% of his games, down from 66% in 2009. Even Flash has talked about how he has problems when he takes a break for a few weeks; EffOrt retired in August and even if he's played a bit since then, he's still very much out of practice.

So I expect him to struggle at first, but hopefully a long break is in the end what he needed and he'll be able to pull through. He's fairly young, so that should help him.

Hite Entus

Effort - A+~S class Zerg
Hydra - A class Zerg
Leta - A class Terran
Snow - Top 5 Protoss
SkyHigh - Unarguably best TvTer in the world along with Flash, and emperor of Postseason (11-1 record)
Horang2 - Probably the best PvPer in proscene right now
Movie - A good protoss capable of doing amazing things

this is a rigged team indeed.

I'm glad he's coming back just so he can be exposed as the lucky undeserving player he was. Or so that he can show that he deserved the hype he got...

Trash talk aside this can only be good for progaming. Glad he's coming back.

He has half a year to practice and get back to form, so he should be fine in that regard. His kwanro-ish win over flash did hype him up quite a bit, I don't know that he will live up to incredible S-class standards. Should still be able to be a solid lineup player for Hite.
I'm going to sleep, let me get some of that carpet.

Effort;

I don't know much about you, but judging from the hype, you're amazing.

Going to love watching your games

I don't see how that's going to be a problem when he has 5 months of pure practice time before he can play an official game.
