Interview(s) -----------------
Matches(vods) ----------------- TriMaster vs vileHawk
I remember the first time i met TriMaster at the first TESPA back in year 2010 As soon as the game started I said GL HF And he replied "Im going bio" Then he goes Bio and wins.
SIGN ME UP, I played TriMaster a long time ago...he was ranking up someone's account and bm'ed the shit out of me, and proceeded to absolutely wreck me. So I challenged him to a grudge match. He built no tanks and I managed to beat him...we played a third game after that, and it was close but he outplayed me. Very interesting games, taught me a LOT about TvT and Starcraft in general. I don't think I'd be where I am now without having played those games.
Lol. I remember Playing with yoou! I didnt know who you or snixsnipe were. And we played those 2 race wars :D. first one, us 3 as protoss vs 5 zergs... not fun but daaam you did well. But we came back in the second one, us 4 Terrans vs 4 protoss. you showed snixsnipe why your not to be messed with that game XD. But yeaaa if you have the time hit me up, id totally love to get crushed by you. Just ask Ghost for FallenAngel.
I don't understand the binski- trimaster association Are they one Trolling Archon? The Binsker? Or are they two separate trolls trolling for the troll good? Only Time Will Troll.

binski is just a hardcore fanboy (#2, me being #1 ofc)
Really impressed by trimaster both at this mlg and anaheim. He has gotten significantly better, I hope he goes to korea to practice for a month, who knows how good he could get.
Trimaster HERO STATUS, in on fanclub! Making HuK look like a fool and not give a single fuck, one of the best games I've seen. Sucks that MLG is so rigged against up-and-comers though =(
I remember watching TriMaster when he was streaming in pooptacular quality, non-featured with like 5 viewers. At the end of the day, it was me and 2 other people watching(one of which might have been TriMaster's own jtv account).
Just signed a congratulations poster for you at the first Austin barcraft. Everyone was super-pumped that a local did so well. Awesome run through Raleigh!!!
After seeing Trimaster beat Jinro in the open bracket, I was like "who is this Trimaster?" After seeing him beat iNcontrol in pool play, I was like "who the HELL is Trimaster?" After seeing him go Super-Saiyan and beat Haypro and Idra as well as take an epic game off of Huk, I was like "seriously, WHO THE FUCK IS TRIMASTER?"
He is a hero for the common man. The unknown gentleman who rises up from the depths of obscurity to try to take down some of the titans of our time. He is the proof that even with so much talent in the spotlight nowadays, there is always a Trimaster out there just waiting for the perfect opportunity to rise up and show that there is still talent out there that is unknown to the scrutinizing public.
I tip my hat to thee, great Trimaster. May the winds of fortune further bear you to further success in the future. May you keep crushing nerds, young baller.

Add me to the fan list. TriMaster going on a tear and knocking out IdrA, then that crazy first game against HuK made a fan out of me. Plus the whole knocked out key thing ending up with him - ROOOFL
Man that reaction from IdrA is amazing. I feel a bit weird about it, it's nice to see TriMaster win but Greg was crushed emotionally. Maybe that's payback for being such a douche to Cruncher last MLG.
Anyone know what keybind setup TriMaster uses? He's left handed, but he's all over the left (usual) side of the keyboard.
I feel like MLG missed a major opportunity by not showing more trimaster games on stream.
I personally only caught his game vs incontrol. Did they even broadcast any of the others?
Especially considering he's the "everyman", MLG should have made more effort to show him and let everybody know that you don't need to be a top name to be good at starcraft. There are just as many people you've never heard of playing at that level.
Definitely a fan of TriMaster, and sad that he didn't get more screen time this MLG.

They broadcasted one with HuK, and it was pretty cool!

Hopefully, all the replays will be released soon after patch 1.4 gets out of PTR, and hopefully some good casters will get those replays beforehand.
Like someone already said, He seriously needs to drill a small hole through that and make a necklace out of it to wear at next MLG. Serious fan gains if he does that

that would be epic^^ one of the most guilty pleasures i had, thanks TriMaster.
I'm in 100%. I had no idea who he was until he was on stage playing Incontrol, and when i saw him micro a siege tank into a medivac to dodge a stalker shot...

if its idra's payback for being a douche to cruncher, than on what jinro got paybacked for ? (skip to 6:00)

I don't get why anyone would name that video "jinro rage" when the guy is just highly disappointed when getting eliminated as he had high expectations. He needed a few seconds to collect himself before mannerly shaking hands. Jinro is a class act.
On another topic I was really impressed by TriMaster during MLG Raleigh, good luck for the future events!

not sure I'd describe slamming his head onto his keyboard as "needed a few seconds to collect himself" Sure it was temporary rage directed at himself, and Jinro was definately manner after he did collect himself, it was by no means idra level rage, but rage none the less.

Wtf, jinro is as manner as can be. He probably gg'd and even though being very upset he still gave a hand to trimaster, which is the only thing that matters. Everyone has his/her way to vent.
IMO he remains remarkably calm after that douche cameraman keeps stating his head is bleeding.
'Defeated amazing players such as LiquidJinro, FnaticMSiKawaiiRice, LiquidHaypro, EGIdra, GoSu.Hwangsin, before ultimately being knocked out by EGHuk'
such a manner guy, but my god he got so lucky to run into players that werent maybe playing their best. And as for everyone raging at him - hate to say it - but its cos they know they should beat him. Idra is always expected to be one of the top foreginers in each tournament, and Jinro who plays in korea and GSL against some of the best terrans in the world and yet he lost to a north american terran.
His play was good, he desrved 16th (is that what he got?) but you cannot blame people for getting pissed at losing to him

hhm... what do you mean "pussied out" ? did you scheduled to meet with him to return his key and he ditched you ? or you randomly encountered him and he gave you a cold shoulder/walked away ?
afaik, when someone says that a guy "pussied out" it means that guy was scared and left (or something like that :X), so i try to imagine in my head what happened

ment to damod but i doubt idra "pussied out" and was insted to angry so he just didn't want his f4 key back, and jinro just seems crushed also that he lost, but he just showed it by being sad insted of anger which is fine too. (i prefer anger over sadness though)

Basically when we got to the bar we found the CoL table outside with everyone looking really happy, so I offered to buy him a drink and Catz decided he'd have a ling island ice tea. We chatted for a while and he said he wanted to give idra back his key, not to troll him or anything. Then my friends and I went inside the bar, after about 20 mins idra shows up and we start cracking some jokes. Nobody is brave enough to tell idra that trimaster is outside and has his key, so I decide to go outside and tell trimaster to go in and give idra back his f4, so we go in and when we were like 5 feet behind idra he was afraid he'd get punched or something. Liquid courage and 3-4 people behind him wasn't enough.

ohhh OK. i am abit confused at the "so we go in and when we were like 5 feet behind idra he was afraid he'd get punched or something. Liquid courage and 3-4 people behind him wasn't enough" part, why idrA felt threatened ? maybe i am reading it wrong or something.
btw really nice from trimaster for offering to return idra's his key himself.

Yo whoever taped that and was saying his head is bleeding is an ass(Especially if Jinro can actually hear him). He's such an incredibly manner and nice guy, you can tell from all the people commenting about him in their interviews. Well..... that's just how it rolls.. I knew Jinro cares deeply for the game and his team so it's sad to see this, it was a little refreshing seeing IdrA show it though, since he always says he hates the game and only practices 3 hours a day... here's to motivation! Go TriMaster, Jinro, Idra! Fighting!

Trimaster thought idra was going to punch him. He would have been e-famous regardless but he didn't want to take the risk.

ty for explaining
if idra did punched him, not only that trimaster would have been the biggest e-famous person ever, but also idra would have ended up in jail loseing his entire reputation and his career as a progamer @_@ but i guess i can understand trimaster's concern, idra was really mad when he lost.

I'll join in this. The greatest matches I've seen have been trimaster ones. His match against RevNox was incredible. Great at coming back from lost battles to win the match. Definitely unique. Wish I could find a pack of some of his replays. Might learn something lol. Just watched his matches that Husky casted. Amazing micro and always ALWAYS everywhere at once when he gets into his drop harass.
Awesome player, loved that one match against a zerg that he won with like one banshee and he was so much behind :D He and TLO are pretty much my biggest non korean terran heroes, just wish he streamed more often. Sign me up!
