Elky was a precursor but not the best french RTS players ever.  RTS is not only War3, SC1, SC2 ^^ Tod is just famous, they are lot of good players in other RTS Ao2, Ao3, Supreme Commander, Dawn Of war. But well done ToD! well the thing about those games is that nobody cares :X
Nobody cares, hahaha, how old are you? you might be very young. Its good to cheer for blizzard.
But Thanks to Dune, Command & Conquer and war1 to have popularize RTS games.
Tod and maybe Elky are the most famous french progammer that's all. They only played blizzard games(and poker :D )
I was only meaning, its too restrictive to say that the best player is/was Tod. Lan and RTS tournament are older than 2000 and those WCG. Plus its not because the RTS game is not include in WCG, that its not famous.

Sick prize winning for stephano, it's a bit underwhelming that we basically haven't heard of those tournaments at all :s .
|
Now the big question is what team will pick ToD ?
Even if the most obvious guess would be him going back to Millenium, but I would like him to join a team with a gaming house, EG maybe, to fully train his potential.
