Haha wow I was just thinking about FD the other day. In fact, my hedgehog's nickname is still (Wiki)cool just for him, man I loved his run.

fruitdealer, smart enough that range 3 roaches are useless and not to be relied upon


It's quite funny, that a unit went from useless to enough to just mass and kill a toss within one rangehew more of firepower...

Even more funny, that at each state of the game, everyone was saying L2P, game is balanced...until a patch came confirming the opposite.

not sure if i agree with some things in this article. sure he was a gambler sometimes but due to the map imbalances and the weaknesses of the zerg race, he was forced to cus he couldnt play a straight up reactive game although he played reactive as much as he could do feasibly.

also he prolly wasnt too stubborn to adapt. he was just too lazy to practice.

basically he won cus he was better and he stopped winning cus everyone else got better.

aaaaa new final edit

And dude, I was watching the GSL1 FD highlights about a week ago and remembered just how inspiring his play was. Back then I was so frustrated as a zerg I had stopped laddering altogether, but FD's play convinced me to keep playing regardless. Sick writeup.

Great article.
I would like to emphasize one thing.When people look back at how bad the maps were,the first map that comes to everyones mind is Steppes of War.Even tho it was fairly attrocious it wasn't the worst map ever for ZvT imo.
Kulas Ravine was by far the most fuckt up map for a zerg to play on at that time against terran.It had the choke points of scrap station,the incredibly retarded cliff over the natural of Lost temple and rocks,rocks everywhere.That map was so bad I have no idea how he fruitdealer managed to hold a 100% winrate on it.That's by far the most impressive stat in his resume to me.

Final Edit is basically a Tier 2 SC Related Blog. I don't know the official 100% standard definition but that's my input on it. Look at some of the other Final Edits and you'll get the idea.

Great write-up! I didn't play SC2 when FruitDealer was around, so it's cool to finally understand what made his play so amazing at the time.
To rest is to rust; to be active is to achieve.

Great article! I sadly missed things like Fruitdealer laying the law down on everyone. I really enjoy watching those old games online even now. What a epic guy!
I can't help but laugh at those play styles! Things really have changed.

is this final edit because startale lol disbanded?

i read this and my heart pounded. wtf my favourite team disbanded? wtf chit.
Then I read lol. lol.

Amazing article, expected something like this sooner (after FD's exit from sc2) but this is still great none the less.
The first GSL will always be the most memorable and emotional for me, even being a Toss player now, and back then I was moved that a Zerg player, managed to be the first GSL champion in a time where Zergs were having the hardest time.

Great times.

The "Tragic Hero" bit made me tear up T_T Especially that video! I miss the days of Fruit Dealer dominance, it was truly inspirational at the time
Epic Win.

FruitDealer's first season is what got me into GSL in the first place. It was a magical run that can't ever really be replicated. I will never forget "FIFTEEN ULTRALISKS!" Still gives me nerd chills like no other. Squirtle's royal run is the only other season that had a similar feel for me, but... man, fifteen ultralisks. That army erasure on Metalopolis is pretty burned into memory too.

I tuned into his every game. I was sad to see the decline and this article makes it clearer for me as to what happened, but I'll never forget the rugged beauty that was the wild west of Season One. Sheriff FruitDealer is always going to be my hero.
