What a baller

Seriously, can it be confirmed that he's the first foreigner to reach A+ by playing mostly koreans?



Someone said PJ did so by playing mostly koreans and was almost olympic...but I dont know if that statement was confirmed, either way its still a good accomplishment whether hes first second or third.

Both F91 and White-ra have gotten A+ in previous seasons, dunno about their records but they don't seem to care much about who they play.

Wouldn't be surprised if sataNik never got to A+ before. He used to ladder A LOT. Maybe that was PGTour though.

Thanks R1CH.

Really interesting ladder information too. Sounds so tense to be close to the top now >.<
Very exciting stuff though, GL everyone

Nice win R1ch! That replay was intense! lol. loved the interview too. As a programmer myself I always wondered about the TL setup.

Here, I'll translate some of R1CH's wizard speak:

A lot of the work I do comes from staff requests

Translation:
All of the work I do comes from Hot_Bid requests


Hot_Bid is a cruel taskmaster who wields the todo list like a whip. I'm pretty sure in that LotR analogy, he's the one who decides to send Gandalf back to Middle Earth. "Hey Gandalf, can you just do this one more thing? It'll just take a second!"

Both F91 and white-ra plays mostly koreans (atleast F91, since he's so close to korea they have the same hours)

Nice post, but you list Artoisis and ignore Shaman? I know it's the national spirit in me talking, but come on, Shaman was one of the best terrans out there 'back in the day'. Even with not playing starcraft 'seriously' for ages he's still in top 48. And still winning any LAN event in Romania.
Im not a n00b, I just play like one.
