Combat didn't beat Parting but he didn't get completely destroyed either.

Really solid performance, even more considering it's his first time in a big stage. Just wish he would go to more tournaments.

Nobody is saying that you have to like him but don't disrespect the guys skills, that's just rude

He was only ranked #1 GM through streamcheating.

Ok. But anyone who saw the games today can say Hamboigahz's remark is legit nonetheless.

What exactly did Combat-EX do to deserve a ban from WCG?


He was a cheater in BW basically, TL's still sore on that, also because of his past general behavior of not being mannered.

Being a known stream cheater? Thats enough in my book to ban him from every competition ever. You may as well just have NA pro gamers vote on it, because they are annoyed as fuck by his existence.


Pretty much TL elites hate him, youtube noobs loved him. If vote nationwide, not just pros, he will get the positive vote.

That was the first time in a long time I was really excited to watch sc2. I watch all the tourneys but me and my friend in skype were laughing and game 2 was intense. Really hope to see more personality from players and more Combat in the future.

did he cheat in the series? no
was his game entertaining? yes
Almost an upset? yes
Did he bm? No, technically. unless you think typing in game is BM.

Standard game doesn't always produce the interesting game and that is what's wrong with SC2 right now.
I would prefer to watch that series 1 time than PvZ 10 times


I'm not talking about this game, somebody who has cheated in the past shouldn't even be allowed to try to qualify. Combatex got enough "2nd" chances from this community, in fact he has enough to probably give ever member of tl one, WCG, or any tournament organizer for that matter, should not allow someone like that to even play in their tournaments. And thats not even taking to account how much of a cheating sack of shit he was in star 1...

The fact that there are people within this community even defending someone like that is just fucking sad. If our community would have been in charge of savior's punishment he would probably be winning gsls atm...

TT1's cheated before and came back, Combatex didn't, I will leave it at that.

also 2007 Stork > Pj > Mondragon


I just remembered that Incontrol opened a thread saying (It was 2009 I guess) that foreigners will win WCG

It turned out to be the most one-sided WCG ever


He was probably practising to much for WCG to know how dominant TBLS was at the time :D .


http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=71680

Well I found the thread and it was from 2008, still 2008 was really one sided as welll, koreans only dropped 1 game to foreigners

Cheating in ladder matches? People like TT1, Dimaga, etc all cheated in ACTUAL tournaments in BW. Don't get on your high horse for stream cheating when other players who have done far worse have been forgiven.

Both are wrong, one is worse than the other.

I'm glad mediocre players who play boring styles and never win anyway don't get to decide what I get to watch.

very nice job from combatex. gets first in his group against some reputable europeans. then outplays parting in a non-cheese game and nearly takes the series from him as well. cant deny his skill level even if he stream cheated in the past.

You really think stream cheating ladder games should ban you from tournaments? It is stupid to do, but ban? That's a good one.

I can tell you exactly what's wrong with our community. Not the fact that 'a little bming gm cheater playing one of the best players in the world is more entertaining than watching 2 extremely good players go add (sic) it'. It's the fact that the people in the community think that's the problem with the community lmao. I don't have anything against or for CombatEX, but I'd rather him be unbanned from everything, regardless of what he did in the past, and have people like Lorch permabanned from teamliquid.

The problem with the community is that no one wants to watch exciting series. They think a drawn out macro fest is the 'correct' play when there is no such thing. Whenever someone produces an exciting game, it's because there's not a drawn out macro game, and then they get ostracized for cheesing. FUCKING MVP gets shit for cheesing and hes arguably the best SC2 player so far.

As soon as the community gets over the idiotic idea that there is a way to play the game, then it'll open the doors to a whole new world, both for pros not feeling obligated to play 'right' and for the players themselves who might learn to stop cheese if they would respect it

Edit: I would like to add, that although stream cheating on ladder is low, and I in no way condone it, it breaks no rules of literally anything. Doesn't break Blizzard TOS, doesn't break tournament rules, doesn't break the law, doesn't break the stream site's TOS.

Actually players who talk smack in MMA are respected, and if the world was Mad Max people like you would get their head used for a soup bowl.
