Kinda funny considering Nazgul has been a strong SC player and Demuslim has been doing really well in the European beta scene soooo yeah.

Yea, only because he fucked up and blocked his own Zealot in with his 2nd gate while doing a proxy 2gate Zeal rush and had to actually CANCEL his 2nd gate at like 80%.
You're right, sorry. Clearly that was the highest possible level SC2 game ever.

i want to write an article about TheLittleOne that highlights how he says "hf gl" to start every game instead of "gl hf"
While you're weighed down by the oppressive chains of repetition and building drones (you are a drone), your insincere "GL HF" goes ignored and is, in the end, a waste of key strokes.
TheLittleOne, intent on demonstrating just what true freedom is, breaks the shackles of conformity with a "hf gl" and his opponents are blown away before their first peon pops out by his sincerity, his creativity, his wit and his good looks.
Grab a permanent marker, TLO, and sign your autograph on my chest.
yeah something like that.

And funny to see that these people are americans only o.o
He's just attempting to tone the hype down. Granted, it'll never happen as once the hype train gets moving around here it cant be stopped. All of his points are valid, even if somewhat misguided (outside of the cheese comment).

He's awesome ! those were the best games i've seen all beta long !

Keep up with great job TLO

I don't want to bust his balls - if I truly felt he was an amazing player I would be the first one to give him credit. The fact is, he rode random to a 2nd place finish in a small tournament in which players were invited rather than qualifying based on merit or skill of any kind. This significantly decreases the "wow" factor of this accomplishment.
I agree with InControl completely. I value solid, effective play (especially using the weak race) over random and luck any day. Especially since the former actually WON the tournament, a fact that most of you seem all too quick to forget.

I dig his sc1 play as well

Yes there was mistakes, but was the game still not exciting? People don't want top pro perfect play, they want exciting games. There games both exciting and skilled. Yeah the players messed up some things like splitting probes or messing up some placements, but they were still exciting games. I'm not saying these games are perfect, I'm saying they are high level SC2 play and exciting SC2 play.

Gonna have to argue with your statement that P is the weaker race, considering they were 2 out of the top 3 and 3 out of the top 4 in the 3rd Play XP tournament. I actually think the races are quite balanced.

I'm not talking trash towards WhiteRa at all. I was rooting for WhiteRa in the finals and wanted him to win, but to say TLO "rode random to a 2nd place finish" is completely incorrect. The players scouted him well and knew what he was soon in the game. TLO won the games he did because he is skilled, not because his race is random.

I say just let this LF9 character flame all he wants. He clearly is just a 12 year old tool (which isn't very many events to take place in btw) Grats to White-ra. cutos to TLO for the fun play, and good job everyone else, it was a fun tourny to watch ^.^

TLO pulled some sexy moves out there. Praise to WhiteRa for coming up above by adapting well to the unpredictable nature of TLO.

I think this thread is a lost cause - it seems infiltrated by hopeless fanboys eager to jump on anything nicks brother says.
I respect InControl because he has some serious accomplishments under his belt in the RTS world. The rest of you can shut the hell up because you don't know what you're talking about at all.

If you're confident, why not make it a show match against Nazgul or Demuslim if they accept? It's been a long time since Day[9] casted in his outrageous style, and I think a match like this would be appropriate for the style he used to cast Chill vs Combat-Ex.
Ultimately it's up to those two players whether or not they want to play you, but honestly if you're going to talk all that smack about "a TL mod and a Warcraft III player" why not play a showmatch streamed with Day9 casting? Would be quite entertaining I think.

I'm sry but no offense i think your a little out of your element. You come into thelittleone's fan club page to flame him and other TL mods? Then start trying to bully other people with quoting how much money you have on paypal. Your in the wrong forum buddy. The TL community has a very large bankroll and for you to think your gonna push people around here with stupid comments like this is hilarious. Your new to the community. Respect it. Yeah i would love to see your put your money where your mouth is vs Nazgul.
