Title fixed, I <3 Chill. And as for the content, I'll work on it more extensively when I get back home from work. Until then, NIGHTEND GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO!
Youre sure he's going to DH? He would madly derserve that spot! I never get tired of saying how underrated he is. Not because people think poorly of him but cause he is THAT much better than most ppl think

He tries DH qualifiers for main event spot I think.
Thank you for the nice times in Praetoriani and on skype, will never forget the times we had, you know i will keep an eye out for you so you better praewn them all!
So basically NightEnD just destroyed WhiteRa in the past 2 games. They're on their third now. Consider this a BO3, and you've got proof that he's basically the best protoss in Europe. I wanna see a Naniwa vs NightEnD showmatch :D

I would like to wish you the best of luck @ DreamHack, It's time for you to show your skill on the scene and make that surprise happen . (Which in fact it won't be a surprise because we all know You Rock )
I like him, and his attitude. Very small amount of hype for a solid player. Impressed me by qualifying for TSL and his matches against Boxer (which were winnable, imo), and decent results since then. Homestory however has sealed the deal. Hope to see more of him in the future.
sign me in also, please! i love him, love how he plays and he is my countryman and i support him until a terran romanian rises up and start doing well :p
So I'm watching NightEnD's stream right now, and i've gotta say... out of all the other player streams I watch all day, he has some of the best micro. His blink micro is perfect.
Hope you do well in NASL season 2 Nightend! I'm glad you managed to qualify and correct their mistake of not inviting you in the first place.
WE WANT NIGHTEND AT MLG, GSL, NASL, TSL and all big tournaments which are out there.. NightEnD is a very talented player who deserves to play in leagues . He is a true master of toss. gl and hf
hey NightEnD, while watching your stream I realized that your mouse mouvements are usually very short and precise. Do you use a low sensitivity or are you just naturally that accurate?
Well , I Think he has an opportunity right now. He`ll be playing vs Naama , and i think it`s the easiest that could be. I mean he has a big chance into qualifing to semifinals or even top 3 :o. Hell , winning the event.
but to win that event he has to beat DRG or Puma which will be very hard. But still Nightend is amazing, already liked him druing his Warcraft 3 times.
You played like a total boss in DH, thank you for the great games and being such a good personality <3
Also, just saw Hero fend off Puma's 1/1/1 build on dual sight, with a complete build order win, I think he owes a fair deal of that victory to you for watching you dive on that hand grenade earlier.
Just wanted to say good luck tomorrow against Zenio again. That lag spike that hit right in THE most important battle in game 3 was critical. I would hate to see everyone take advantage of the lag by asking for regames if they lose, but you deserve a regame for game 3, no question.
edit: By the way, does anyone know if it's going to be a bo3 or just a regame of the third game? Or will we not know until tomorrow?
It was heartbreaking to see you get screwed over this weekend nightend! Just remember that anyone who knows starcraft knows you had that third game won before the lag. And I would assume most people can see how unfair the extended series decision was.
Your fans know how good you are! gogo win assembly!
in wc3 nightend was also screwed because blizzard didnt include romania for blizzcon or something, and he also didnt get invited to many tournaments he could have done well in. everyone who knew him knew he was good but so many outside europe didnt know him. so its sad to see something like this happening in sc2. but persevering through hardship brings strength, greatness so often rises from nothing.
on his sc2 ability, i feel like hes way too safe and doesn't have the decisive abilities of a champion but he is still someone to be feared, it was pretty awesome to see perfect muta defense and nearly winning 2 base to 5 vs mutas without a baserace.
Nightend going to Korea! He will be staying for 2 months so I assume thats not long enough to participate in the next GSL. (or maybe he`ll try his luck and stay longer if successful)
I'm really happy for Silviu ! Finally he can practice in the perfect enviroment, so I'm absolutely sure till DreamHack summer he will improve a lot and hopefully he will be the new Foreigner Hope !
Good Luck and ofcourse enjoy your time at Korea NightEnD !!!
Is the FnaticNoName account a shared one? When i watched his stream before it was like rank 30 at start, then he dropped to like 50, did he get it to rank 12 himself?

Sign me up!
Congrats on getting so high in Korean ladder so quickly! Definitely becoming one of my favorite players! Your stream is great and your level of play is astounding!
I hope you get all of the training you need in Korea over these next few months to improve your playstyle vastly!
You should release some vLOGs of the live in Korea during your stay/
just cause he looks tired doesn't necessarily mean that he is (camera's aren't always being nice in terms of showing how you feel ^^)! - In either case, he is doing really freaking great in korea! Best of luck my friend :D Fnatic Fighting !
this ''Rumors are, that stephano does´nt make it to korea until august and NightEnD takes his spot for season 3.'' made me laught .. nothing more sorry ><
I think makes no point in stating the obviously when u all saw i was the only fnatic member it didnt play code A qualys ><
Grats anyways Nightend... even if it's a second place your korean training will pay off on the long run. Keep going, you are one of the most talented foreigners in the scene. Hope you have solved your health issues, now it's time to play and win!

So by your logic WhiteRa is also a loser then? Because he always tries to show the best games for his fans even if he loses or has very little chance of winning. Furthermore, why do you feel the need to come to NightEnDs personal fan club to try bring him down and slander him when he tries to take satisfaction in the fact that although he didn't win, he still played pretty well. Judging from your attitude, you must be one of those people who never loses at anything they do right? 100% win rate in silver no doubt. Too bad you couldn't make it to homestory, could have been some easy money for you champ.

so you consider him being a loser because he lost to the best player in the world, multiple gsl champion? u must be high
I am mad because he lost to players much lower than him like Monchi.He also practiced in korea for two months and we don't see any improvments.He's almost the only one who has 0-4.Also trying to "play pretty well" doesn't give u any income, satisfaction or recognition.As i said before u win or you lose.And u guys say that u prefer to "make show" instead of winning? Don't u try to become better?

Monchi also beat MVP. MVP's been in Korea for like 21 years, lets all go swarm his fanclub and call him bad too !
So he's not back in Korea ? Does he plan to stay home for the moment ? Or maybe he's in the states for NASL... I don't know if he's in, might as well check that out.
Very exciting games against MKP. Thx! It think you had your chance to win, especially in the last game where he got his bunkers up in the last second. Keep up the good work!
holy shit what a Na\/\/b is this nightend.....Amazing games against HasuObs(coming from you, otherwise not so amazing) you played so good still you lost doing your best(does that mean something?) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I suggest you to give up sc2 for school.....wait your too old.Go and wash some dishes, sc2 is not for you.No offense.... Peace, stay cool and don't ban me for being the voice of the people.

Wrong, when in doubt pull all your SCVs (well almost all 3-5 were left back if I saw it right) against the 1337 o'clock protoss That was the most "hilarious" move I've ever seen in a sc2 tournament match, the outcome ofc was GG
Go Go Nightend, hope he gets to the top (semifinals or even finals).
I know Apollo said he took the build from Rain but it's the first time I saw it and I Have been in love with this build OMG it makes Terran Rage so hard!! Storm is so good! I love you Nightend thank you for beating Taeja with this build now I will win the 3 pvt I play a day. Bad luck getting Stephano he is kind of impossible to kill in PvZ.
Can someone please find me a video, or at least a text quote of the time NightEnd explains the only way to win PvZ, and in the end he says: "Never works though." ?
I can't find it anywhere. Personally, I think it's one of the funniest things I ever heard about SC2 :D
EDIT: Nevermind, found it :D
"Best Strategy vs Zerg: Write to him `I make 2 collosses, start corruptors. Best Strategy. Never works though." - Nightend
But it's not the same without his delivery. Can't find the video anywhere though
