I get it, it's TorcH because he has red hair? On a serious note, I hope this guy does well because he seems well rounded and a pretty cool guy.

Eat your heart out Korean ladies, a foreigner that eats meat, bathes, and is good lookin'. And we can't hate on his pastiness b/c he's a redhead. =)

I saw him play in the VT root clan war and he got spanked by Slush, I think he must have had an easy route to the round of 64. But that said, that was a while ago, and I wish him all the best in the tourny!

The Question is not; "who is TorcH" - the question is; "what is TorcH".

It's a way of life! ^^'

Don't think this was necessary, dude. He's representing foreigners out there so he deserves our respect and shows us that it's not only the koreans that can compete.

Gl to him but I don't think he can get far the two times he won vs me was with gimmicky stuff. I wouldn't call him a better player then me and I still got some work to do till I reach the best.

I played against TorcH in a Gosucoaching thinger.

Was early in the beta, but I almost won(I was copper at the time) with a 10 pool on Incineration Zone o.o

And then I had no idea how to stop reapers

Saracen might have put it blunt but he's not wrong. Torch did get very lucky, in addition to getting 2 byes the best player he faced was a 600 point 50% win rate Korean diamond player. Congrats to him for having the guts to go out there and try but he did get through primarily on luck.

quick question: who are you? because you play amazingly well but me and my friend have know idea who you are but are very fanboy already O.O

You don't know me yet, but you will ;-). Before SC2, I just played a bit of RTS for fun/competition, but never spent the time to make it big. I have every intention of becoming a professional in SC2 for as long as I can maintain it (yes I have A LOT of work to do, but I'm prepared to put it in). I'll be trying to get a stream going as soon as I can figure out all the requisite programs and show people some unorthodox, out of the box builds as the patches make them available. Until then, you can follow me on twitter @TorcHGaming or friend me for some games on SC2: TorcH.gaming .


And to this day he stays mysterious...

Because there were 2000 entries of various skill--and because a lot of those 2k players didn't show up--many people in the top 64 had easy paths (and some had very hard paths). Artosis's path wasn't really more difficult. IdrA and TLO had pretty easy paths too.

Who cares whether or not he's a good player.
In the videos he even says that he combines GSL with a trip to Korea and he doesn't sound like he's trying to grab for Nr.1 or anything.
