Consistently HIGH in the EU Top 200 rankings. He's not even always a Protoss player. Someone in IRC said he's random. If you check his Bnet profile, his most played race is shown as Terran. His Top 200 rankings change between at least Terran and Protoss (don't know about Zerg). He's not an "unknown", he's not "come from nowhere", and he might not even be a protoss player. Even a tiny bit of research would expose these things. Slasher even informed Wheat that he used to be a War3 player, but apparently that's not been mentioned. Zeerax has been playing SC2 since the beta. He's got 3600 ladder games. He's probably played Strelok quite a few times before. He is beast, he's somewhat new to competitive play, but he's even played in some competitions before, and has some references on various competition websites, and an entry in the TLPD as well. You do realize that there are countless tournaments run weekly and expecting anybody to keep up with each and every player who does well (or doesn't and just ladders a lot, which you seem to imply) is ridiculous. Further, even if he was "known" in wc3, having him be an unknown makes a better narrative. Hope July gets an invite. Ret + IdrA are locks. July, Nestea, Fruitdealer, Zenio, and Haypro fight for the remaining 3 spots. | ||

He is an unknown player... He is classified I have never heard of him and I guarantee it a ton of other players haven't heard about him either until today. Most good players will start off as unknown and now he's on the radar. Dunno how you can say he's not an unknown when most people here haven't heard of him ^_^. | ||
