The only thing I can think of being useful here is the mind game part. But that has a much bigger impact in WC3 FFA than in SC2, so not sure how useful that would be. Being the top FFA player is like being the smartest kid in special ed. Yet Grubby lost a lot of FFA's even under a smurf. It was a totally different game in WC3, and that is why it was good. If you haven't tried laddering the FFA ladder in WC3 you don't have a clue what you are talking about. High level solo players messing around with FFA was common, yet they lost a lot of matches due to not recognizing the mind game in there. Sadly SC2 FFA isn't really an option like that without some tweaks. Unlimited resources at center locations, possible seeing how much resources a player has etc. should be implemented. Right now you aren't rewarded for fighting in there at all, so everyone just messes about. (WC3 had upkeep, xp from fighting, and a sort of "power" ranking thanks to hero levels so there were plenty of strats to do there, in SC2 not so much and that is why FFA in SC2 is bad) | ||

He didn't like that, as soon as his army was strong enough he made sure the game was over fast. And yes he had some arrogance but I kind of liked his sharp remarks, added to the entertainment  Bit like Idra I guess.No problem. Yeah, he was a bit arrogant, but if you could see through the attitude, you'd realize that he was definitely giving good advice. He would frequently post on the official SupCom forums and gamereplays.org. People liked everything he said at gamereplays, because the average skill level there was much higher, but he was just called names and stuff on the official forums. It was hilarious how dumb the official forum goers were. For those saying that he only got by with micro and no macro because WC3 had no macro, well, I'm just going to point out that SupCom was all macro and he raped that game. Just saying... I don't have huge WC3 experience, so please don't kill me. On January 31 2011 23:10 timmyfred wrote: Also, HEY RDON! "Hmmmm... what's this guy's name again? timmyfred... I don't recognize it, sounds king of noobish. Spawning on Arctic Refuge, I guess I'll just use my typical noob crushing strategy. Mass factories, loop them on hunters, rally to the east of his southern mountains." "Oh... he scouted my hunters. Uhhh... he's ignoring the group and picking off the reinforcements. I'll just pull my reinforcements back and harass with the small group I have then." "Oh... he still has units in his base. Well, just a small group of hunters lost. I'll just regroup with more and charge him." "Oh... he's harassing my outer mexes. Oh, he's expanding to the corner bases with his commander. Oh... this guy doesn't suck balls. Oh... he's pushing me back. Well, wtf am I supposed to do now? How did he get to my base already? Shit." Yo timmy, what's your SC2 id? | ||

Ask every W3 progamer that switched to SC2. yeah lol insane wc3 macro haha. but at the same time sc2 macro =/= sc1 macro by a looooooooooong shot. But i think you are overhyping this guy cuz good war3 macro isn't any indicator that he will be a good sc2 macro player. | ||

Miss those Clan Lone days. And PencilWarrior was pretty amazing too. Not shabby at 1s, and great at FFA. Oh wow someone who knew PencilWarrior :o We were clan mates way back then... miss those times. | ||

Cool to see him owning up teamgames :D TBH I wouldn't be surprised if he if teamed up with a top player could beat every 2v2 team consisting of 2 (known) top players, more than 50% of the games. | ||

Or at least, that's my memory of it  RDon: timmyfred.553. Do you use mumble or teamspeak ever? I'm pretty terrible at sc2 atm, but would really love to have someone to practice with regularly since PINK et al are being gay and playing other shit all the time. | ||
