Hi, hope it's ok to post in here.

Lil Probius is an 8-year-old Gold League Protoss from the UK. He lives and breathes Starcraft, and has just started a Youtube channel charting his ladder progress:

Improving rapidly, LP plays an elegant game and mostly avoids cheesing. His favourite player is PartinG.

The videos are filmed and edited by his 11-year-old brother, who also produces the background music. Hopefully long-time Starcraft fans will be amused by their antics, or use the videos as a way to introduce their own little ones to the game!

Since this is in the third-person, who's posting under "Lil Probius?"

This is actually LP's dad. His big brother does the videos (the background music is also made by him on Logic) and replies on Youtube, but I put this post on Team Liquid, which I've followed for years.

This started as an exercise for the little one to practise articulating his thoughts better...we are all shocked by how successful it has been

This is adorable! It'll be real interesting to see him in a few years, maybe a new Reynor in the making.

Very kind Alejandrisha - imo SC2 teaches some aspects of mental discipline very effectively. I would much rather the boys ladder on bnet than watch trash on the telly!

Amazingly, the mighty Harstem himself came across Lil Probius's' channel and spent some time coaching him and his bro - the result is here:

Absolutely made their summer as you would expect!

Congrats! My boys are still a bit too young to be introduced to SC2, but I hope they will join me in a 3v3 eventually.
Earth, Water, Air and Protoss!
