When I saw this article the first thing I clicked on was the liquipedia, and I was very confused why a not very in depth liquipedia article was being linked on the frontpage of TL. I felt stupid once I realised thta I had to click on Cool's face.

Loved it. Thank you.

I once said that I'd always support FD because of his amazing story. Still true.

I also associate the song "Secrets" with him now, because of the TL music video.

Funny because I remember a quick game of him going 7RR, but that was probably one game.
Awesome write up :D

Is the StarTale disbanding thing just for the LoL team, or the SC2 team as well?

What a well written article, you not only talked about fruitedealers play but the era in which he played. Players are talked about all the time, but what often fails to be said is the enviornment in which fruitdealer played, and with out that any commentary is useless.

Aside from that, I just remember watching fruitdealer play, and he would constantly be one step ahead of his opponent. It felt as if he was much better at thinking about the game than other players in a time frame when most players were winning with superior mechanics.

In the VERY beginning FruitDealer and IdrA were actually just A LOT better than EVERYONE else.

Oh man, I remember GSL 1 so clearly. A truly epic run and this article brings to light why: because FruitDealer could have lost horribly at any moment but he was too badass to go out like that. Every single game he played in that GSL was ridiculously tense. It made it all the more awesome when a certain then-unaccomplished Terran 2-0ed him in the Ro32 of GSL2.

edit: Dudes, go back and look at the brackets for GSL 1 and 2. How many of those matchups from Ro32 onward do you remember perfectly? I remember so many, it's crazy. I'm sure it would be kind of embarrassing to watch any of those games nowadays but at the time everything seemed so huge and epic. Boxer versus Loner! TheWind versus Maka! TheWind versus Maka was more exciting then than Nestea versus MC.

Also... A certain Kyumer(IMKyumer, if I'm not mistaken) was in GSL2. That's ChRh, man!
