Both are approved smurfs.

If you feel that not smurfing gives you an unfair disadvantage, you must appeal to Mani. We will then give you a predetermined smurf name.

I'm not asking you to divulge the smurfs' identities, but I was just wondering. What possible reason would people knowing your name work as a disadvantage? And for how long will the names be hidden? 48? 16? What if a smurf wins?

See the previous poll winner for a reason someone might want to smurf.

Real IDs will be divulged after the ladder (for the top 48 at least, I think we can let the rest hide in shame).

Mondragon said he nine pools to avoid 4 pools. If you guys picked a T/P instead of Mondragon then they'd have to worry about 4 pools.

Is Testie back into TSL? Anyone know? He probably wants to play again before he goes on TL.net attack. Doesn't want to get ownt by noobies.

i dont understand how someone will have a disadvantage by not smurfing !?
If anyone has it should be famous people like testie/mondi/draco/idra because people know there style or dodge them..
but dunno..

its looking kinda wrong to see unknown names in this ladder.. and.. on the other hand.. so many known gamers with their real accs..

Yeah that's what I was saying too. Any reason invoked by any player could probably be generalized, and REAL top tier players are not hiding their accounts. So then the reasons are not that good in the first place.

And as you can see, the previous poll is just fun, since Mondragon stated himself that he didn't get 4pooled ONCE. So I really don't think that's a threat.

But anyway, if it will be revealed after ladder stage then I guess it's ok. Since there are bound to be some lesser-known good players in there anyway. Who cares about one-two smurfs more.

XiaOzI could probably up higher if he werent playing so many games against koreans. Mondi has a good strat going by sticking to foreigners.

If players like Idra, Mondragon, and Draco are NOT smurfing, then what reason would anyone else have ?

also, there's nothing in the rules that permits us from finding out who smurfs are and posting it on the forums are there?

so someone should make a who's who smurfing on TSL thread

I seem to lag vs koreans when I play with the LAN latency thingy on

Just like I did most of the time on hamachi back in the day.

I'm guessing that Slugworth + Boxerz (C+ terrans with usa flag) are : Froz / Assem / Yosh / Nyoken (two of those four) . Any takers?

There was once a dream that was Esports. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish... Now is the time to make that dream a reality!

You can try high latency with #LL, it should be comparable to normal B.net latency (probably a little lower).

Nah I think xiaozi is doing better than everyone else. He's in the top 16, and he manages to stay there while practicing with koreans too. This way, if he starts slipping down the ranks later on he can just filter his opponents and get better results. It's not just about being in the top 16/48, it's also about getting a good spot in the final tourney for them. So if he's got no worries (yet) about finishing top 16/48, then why not train with better opponents?

Thanks iCCup.Raelcun. I'd Testie shit too if I were Mondragon. But I'm not, so I don't. I bet it's funny, too.

CubEdln brings up a good point. If Xiaozi is practicing against Koreans and doing well, it's not like he's really endangering his spot in the top 16. I'm sure he can optimize his spot later on depending how he wants to end up in the group stages.
