in just about 10 minutes from this post Trap faces one of the toughest groups in the WECG National Kr Finals, featuring two GSL champions in Zest and Classic, as well as a recent riser in Super. Coming off the back of a spectacular PvP performance in DC, Trap's chances for advancement are higher than you might think. His first opponent will be Zest, dubbed the Kingslayer. But now the KingSlayer sits on a throne at the top of the world, and it is time his title went to another. It is time for Trap to prove his worth.
...aaaannndd I can't even watch T_T. Stupid internet is stupid. Keep me up to date in the LR thread! Trap's got this!
Edit: underestimated the time it takes to write, its more like 3mins from this post
Trap makes his first appearance in 2015 Proleague up against aLive right now! Lets hope for a glimpse of the PvT form he showed vs Polt at MLG Anaheim!
Edit: aaaaand he takes it pretty convincingly with solid yet stylistic play. Things are looking bright
I played Trap the other day. Despite by best efforts, he was able to scout my nydus worm both games and clinch the series 2-0. I actually did okay game 1. He was very friendly though so I like him now. sign me up i guess.
Somehow, Trap has become a complete beast without many people noticing. According to Aligulac, he has an 80% winrate in the last 48 games, with a 94.44% winrate vs Zerg.
The last time he lost a "series" was against Hurricane, who he faces tonight in Proleague. Looks like its time for some revenge boys.

Sign me up!
Congratulated you have now been activated!
Just curious, how did you lose to Trap? Did he cheese you out?
Haha quite the opposite actually, I tried to cheese him out but his macro was better than mine so he had obs out when my DTs came out, then his blink stalkers finished me off.

Haha that sounds like how my games would go vs him as well.
Trap's playing in the GSL qualifiers soon:http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2015_Global_StarCraft_II_League_Season_2/Qualifier
Looks like all his hardest opponents in this group are Protosses, and his PvP has been looking pretty good lately so he has pretty good chances. Patience and *maybe* Sora will probably be his biggest threats.
Sadly there is no stream so better make sure your f5 key is working
Also the IEM Katowice brackets have been released and Trap's first opponent is Flash. Time for Trap to show us how to TvP again.
Edit: Added the butt slap to OP. Feedback is welcome if you feel it could be done better/differently!
I dunno if TL allows .gifv embeds but if so then do that. Otherwise it's really laggy.
I am unfamiliar with the .gifv format. Would I have to convert the original gif into a gifv first or is there some way to find an embed code for the gifv version of the gif?

I updated the title and added a new section for featured work where the latest fan content received of any sort can go. I hope that as the fan club grows more people will contribute!
If you want to get something featured, shoot me a PM or post in this thread

Well this should be a walkover unless something crazy happens. I am glad that Trap is being played more often nowadays even with Terminator's great recent form. Maybe he gets sent out in ace again? O_o

bad LOL
I don't like that style of art tbh, but I felt kinda guity not using all the reasources out there about Trap. I just hope IEM produces more photos for me, ideally of him holding a trophy
He just got unlucky with the openers If he knew how ridiculously greedy and gambly Hack was being he would have ended it early or just expanded quicker himself. Stim not starting until 7:30? Like come on lol..
Yeah, I was pretty annoyed when the casters basically missed how greedy Hack was opening. I was praying for a blink allin the moment I saw the twilight, but I guess the map isn't super ideal to blink allin blindly.
It's a pretty good blink map actually, it's just not something you do as protoss anymore and Hack abused that. Trap did play pretty passive with his blink opener though, if he did just a standard 3 gate blink/robo opening he would have been able to do some nice damage and secure the 3rd easier and earlier.
GG WP by Trap, was a great run. I'm sad he couldn't take first place but second place is nothing to scoff at. Hopefully he can finally take a premier win this year, especially having gotten this amazing experience under his belt.

I can't wait to see this rematch, especially with nerves playing a lesser role this time around. Cheer on Trap at twitch.tv/sc2proleague, starts in a little over an hour although the match itself will likely be a few hours from now.
Trap qualified for Super Tournament and is still in the running for Blizzcon!
If he beats Stats then he qualifies on points and has a very good chance of staying there with the other contenders having more difficult/longer roads to match him in points.
I don't think he had the game but it was still worth staying in it. If he hadn't lost the prism in the fight though then he would have won 100%. Really sad still
I think Trap and Bunny are the only real threats to taking out Serral here in this group. You can never count out soO, but after his games vs Dark and Rogue at BlizzCon, it's hard to see that match being contested.

i like Bunny a lot but soO is much more of a threat than Bunny
