For those wondering, Recco couldn't make DHS and the Team Infused British player Ziktomini took his place. So far hes in group stage 2 and beat Stephano in stage 1 :D
Sign me up! I profess ignorance at much of the UK scene until the WCS, but this guy is one of the up and coming talents that has caught mine, and so many others' eyes
I think you should mention his race in the first post (I'm aware there's a liquipedia link), I always find it frustrating when a player is introduced, with elements such as his team and history and age and whatnot but not the race.
Lets all get behind JonnyREcco and show him our support at the ASUS ROG Summer 2012
This guy is the happiest nicest guy you will ever meet and is an amazing skilled sc2 player who needs more support and shout outs,hope all his fans get behind him and gives him a shout and tweet him.
I beleive he is doing coaching lessons as well so any one interested get in touch with him
Ive updated the page with new pictures and videos, but more importantly i've included details of coaching, so if you want some coaching, now's your chance!
Really loving this kid and his Savior-esque play. His defense is a thing of beauty. Foreigner or not, I honestly give him got the strongest chance of anyone to take this TSL.
Not to brag (and not that I can prove this anyway), but in TSL 1, my money was on Iefnaij from the beginning and in TSL 3 my money was on Thorzain from when I saw his first-round play. In TSL 2, I believe I was expecting either Iefnaij or Mondragon to take it, so I don't have a perfect record of picking winners but 2 out of 3 ain't bad. In this TSL my money's on JonnyRecco.

fuck ya pacifist zerg, what an eye sort to watch that game 6 vs mvp.keen. I'm a pacifist, i won't fight even if the terran runs straight up the middle to engage my gigantic BL/infestor army. I give and give, I give up the main, give up the natural, give up my 4th and 5th 30times over, give up all my techs, are those scvs killing m y greater spire? it's alright, cause i'm a pacifist, what do you mean the terran is rofl nuking me in the middle while the game is still going on? it's alright cause I make love not war. MvP.keen has to be pissed the hell off for losing after show boating all those nukes lol.

I guess he's not JonnyPatchzerg anymore. His HotS results have impressed me quite a bit.
People who called jrecco a patch zerg should be ashamed. He has one of the most solid midgames, his flanks and surrounds are sick to watch. How does +range on a queen help that? I'd be surprised if he doesn't have a sick run at this years WCS

He popped up onto the limelight and started gaining success after the Queen buff. The metagame completely fucked up a few Terran openers vs Zerg. Gasless ice fisher builds could now easily defend any potential harassment from hellion expands.and reaper expands when "defending hellions" wasn't exactly a problem for players pre-patch. If you watched the Stephano vs Polt series in Lone Star Clash, you'd see masterful defence against hellions pre-Queen buff.
When I watched his games against Keen in TSL4 I noticed a lot of them ended in Infestor Brood Lord late games. Granted, this was the one-dimensional meta of Wings at the time but the patchzerg era still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
I'm actually happy JonnyRecco didn't turn out to be 'just another patchzerg.' Britain needs a decent Zerg representative - we already have Bling representing Protoss and Demuslim representing Terran - and I genuinely think he's far better than Ziktomini.
Alas I feel I have misjudged JRecco, not his fault that he could prosper with a certain playstyle in WoL. He's looking pretty dangerous in HoTS, seen some nice games from him on various streams. Hope he can get picked up by a decent organisation.
