this is so 'cool,' grats to him!!

Additionally, I used to love eating them, but about 5 years ago I developed an extreme allergy to bananas, and will begin to go into anaphylactic shock if i eat them.

normal bananas will kill me.

the Bananalisk is like my friggin arch-nemesis.

hiding now cuz scared!

screw 80 grand, now everyone's gonna be in it for the blizzard fanart. I hope to god they make this a tradition like the premier cartoons in the AFL.

In more serious light, it's increasingly obvious that the GSL is being heavily fondled by blizzard. They must have invested a LOT of money in it, and that's somewhat worrying, I hope that other sponsors will make it up, because blizz/activision isn't gonna be supporting this forever.

This is true. They should throw a 1,000,000$ USD grand prize tourney some time... they certainly have the money to "throw away" from WoW revenue. That would be balls to the wall epic -- one million to a SINGLE player?

SO sick. They should rework, HoTS storyline so that Fruitdealer/Cool inherits the swarm and is manifested in to the new Overmind. Given that Kerrigan is out of commission.

-Blizzard should be more careful next time about who writes the post. Clearly not the author of the pic..

Looking at the image, which is great, I realized zerg+fruits is best described by rotting fruits with worms. Perhaps an apple with a zerg larva coming from it? That would actually make sense.

We need to clarify:

Banana-zergling
Apple-roach
Grape-overlord

am I right?

Then these can be Banling, Approach and OverGrape.

I think Overgrape is better... or else it sounds like "over-rape"

The graplings must have be the one that make FruitDealer be the champ!

com'on, baneling only has one round acid, this grapling has so much more!! no wonder any bio army stands no chance..

I honestly don't think they would do anything, there was such hype around fruitdealer because he was a Zerg and he was just crushing everyone and lot's of people got into the fruit/zerg dynamic.

It's bananaling, appledralisk, and grapefestor. All who think the apple is a roach is... well... wait a minute. Actually yeah, I'm not sure anymore. :o
Nice picture though Are they gonna do that after every end of GSL for the final victor? Would be really cool ^^

Well Fruit dealer kinda "saved" Blizz & Gom in GSL. Having 2x TvT in semis would not be the best for marketing, neither for fans. Fruit teh zerg messiah !

Bold move from Blizzard to both tank Cool for winning a tourney as Zerg (and somewhat soothing the populace about Zerg's underpoweredness) and try to seduce the Korean community after the sc2 marketing flop there.

Seriously, this is awesome. Hopefully they'll consider this for GSL2 and why not MLG too!

Am I the only one who would like to see a BoxeR dragon punching a zealot for GLS2?

This would be offensive and Blizzard would never allow that.

Some more T-Shirt-worthy puns would be,

"My hydralisk control, while maintaining my economic superiority, both on and off creep will leave you sPEACHless, since said control is excellent."

"When you lose to me in a ladder game, I hope you don't BAN AN Awesome map from your map pool, that is the map that you lost to me on, because your loss was not the result of map imbalance, but rather my superior skill."

"Orange you glad I didn't make mutalisks, since your entire army composition is marauders and you now would hypothetically have no way of fighting air units should they come?"

"If you have the misfortune of meeting me on the ladder when I am playing on my noobie friend's account, I must say that you will find that your rating will PLUMmet as a result of your losing to a player with a much lower rating."

"Your tank push was so weak, that instead of forcing me backwards, it actually drew me forward, so basically, your push felt like A PPLE (a pull), in that it had a strength that was negative."

I'll be here all night, buddies.

I would still go with you just got gRaped, it's not that offensive, really. If you get offended by this when starcraft is supposed to be a mature game then you might need to reconsider your perspective on things.

Your quotes and the irony of your post are quite good tho Gummy.

If you were to do me the favor of doing a search on TL for that word, and then seeing the large quantity of discussion on the matter, I would reward you for your efforts with another fruit pun.

Don't click on the spoiler until you've searched!

I am BERRY good at this game called Starcraft II, in which I play as Zerg, so much so in fact that I won the GSL.

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


Nah, Nestea is like 30+ I think.


he's 30 according to liquipedia

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).

Nice find, as mentioned, he was a great player. Too bad he left SCII and went to LoL but if he lost passion for the game and didn't want to play anymore, it can't be helped.

I think he is a coach and not a player.

screw the haters, fruitdealer just stopped giving a damn about this game, if he had kept practicing he would've continued dominating.

he will forever be my favorite player because back then zerg was badly UP and terran was horribly OP. in a sea of terrans, fruit dealer was the only zerg left, and he managed to win it all. if that weren't amazing enough, he had quit his pro bw carreer because his dad got sick so he helped sell fruit to keep the family afloat.

awesome player, i still watch season 1 all the time for nostalgia.

Yeah, FD was such a good player back when he still had passion for the game. Wish him luck with what he's doing now.

FD really was a beast back then, he really went into history with that GSL win.

The game he played, oh my, he really did no mistake as I can recall, and that was what it took to win as zerg back then.

Several teams that have competed in the OGN LoL league are crediting StarTale's (the team FD coaches) good performance to FruitDealer and his coaching, so it looks like he's making a name for himself.
