does that mean the npc will disappear after the first patch after release?

Long live FruitDealer. Had no idea he was 27 though, would he be the oldest GSL competitor right now if he was still active?

Didn't fruitdealer come back from the dead once vs drg in a finals? Someone said that once. Even tho i never saw that,just hearing that felt like a going away party for someone that has the magic to win a gsl(not everyone does, look at squirtle vs mvp final game. Fuckin ridic)

Love those wow tributes.

The only issue with FD was that even in his interviews it seemed like he was totally screwed. After winning the GSL and being traded to TSL, he just seemed to fall off. The Bane-Rain was amazing but his drinking just killed it. I would have loved for a zerg version of iloveoov, total macro zerg machine, someone with flawless abilities conquering a scene with a race that was thought to be useless.

No need for this. Fruitdealer was the first GSL champion. That's an extremely impressive feat.

Congrats to Fruitdealer. This is really cool as everyone else has said ^^

Yeah, every bit on news about FD was about 1) His Drinking 2) His refusal to practice 3) Switching Teams.

He could have been somebody.

It was an IEM event, I'm pretty sure. I didn't watch it but i think i read that somewhere, once. Could be way off, but that's a starting point if you want to poke around at results

ROFL. After winning the 1st GSL, didn't seem like he had the motivation to practice as much as other players anymore and that's probably why he fell off.

You're right, he came 2nd in this event http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/IEM_Season_VI_-_Global_Challenge_New_York

I always thought that tournament was a testament to his natural talent for the game but due to his lack of heart / drive / motivation he just wasn't as successful as some of the other pros.

He lost to DRG 2-3 in the finals.

Yep, blew a 2-0 lead against DRG in a Bo5, ended up losing 2-3. He was 1 game from getting an invite to the Blizzard Cup, and actually got a spot at the IEM World Championships this March (he turned it down, basically already quit by then).
