I remember mentioning the ghost cost change was a nerf in TvP during PTR and I got flamed like crazy on battle.net for it. Glad to see I was most likely right.

Excited for THESTC to be back. He was an amazing Korean T back during the beta and my role model for learning T. I still watch some of his replays for entertainment; as he said, mechanics are overshadowed by others but his multi-tasking and multi-pronged harass is some of the best I've seen still to this day and absolutely vicious. Very excited to see how he does.

Fantastic post. Glad to see him back, was wondering where he was lately, thought he just kinda stopped playing.

I don't have time to watch his replays yet, does he still uses reapers ? I'm pretty sure these units can be very awesome in harassing and want to see some pros using them.

I like the choice of the interview candidates. Keep 'em coming.

He didn't use any reaper in his replay pack. Iirc, he still uses them to scout in some of the koth and that's about it.

I checked StC's match history and he is playing zerg a lot and a bit protoss (even in ladder) so i hope he doesn't switch, or I will be forced to do the same

Great interview. Wish the interviewer had mentioned something with reference to how everyone was crediting OgstheStC with being a strategic genius in late beta/ early SC2. I think I remember Jinro making a comment about fighting to get StC's help.

Seems like as time went on, former SC1 pros have been losing their advantage over anyone else. Tester and Fruitdealer were the best players in beta and now they're mediocre. WC3 players have been getting better and better relative to everyone else. So I wouldn't be surprised if TheSTC never comes back close to his level in beta.

you know, all of the top tier players in Korea are former sc1 pros.

TheSTC is back!

I saw him played Huk a few weeks ago in Huk's stream. He's still pretty good, though not as great as he was in beta. Hope he'll get back in shape soon so we'll see him used in GSL/GSTL!

Yeeeee!
TheSTC played in one of if not the first Korean starcraft matches I watched, I'm not sure how good he played in that particular game but I immediately became amazed and 10x more interested in sc than I was previously <3
I really hope his service time hasn't crippled his ability or what not.

This is awesome, my favourite player in the beta followed by ensnare, and i was very sad when i found out he would be going to the army.

I hope he does well.

i find it funny that the subway in mexico city is called STC (sistema de transporte colectivo, or public/colective transportation system) and one day when i read the sign i remembered theSTC, and i wondered where he'd gone...

YES, I am so happy TheSTC is coming back! I loved him sooo much, as he was the first korean i had ever seen play, and then he just disappeared. Right before I saw this i was wondering where he had gone, whether he quit or had just been completely outclassed by the other koreans!
