Went firebats against Octzerg in the TSL2 ladder, still lost to zerglings. A year later, Plexa mentions having watched that game.

Played infernal in a TvP Outsider when he was preparing to play Flash for WCG on that map. My best Flash impersonation was obviously not good enough. Got rolled.

Beat Kenya's WCG qualifier Psyko in a TvP. He was D level and tried to defend his natural with mass cannons against my tank/vulture...

EDIT: Just noticed this is the Sc2 forum. Woops. Met Thorzain and NaNiwa in NY.

Hmm, I once played vs Catz/Drewbie in a 2v2 back in early Beta.

I beat Chill/Weedlicious(whoever that is) in a 2v2 also in beta, on Chill's stream.

I had the pleasure of running into Day9 in a 1v1 back when he still used his DayNine account to ladder. Talked with him a bit before he smashed me :D

Ultralisks imba.

This may be a silly question but I'm going to ask anyway:

When a progamer signs an autograph, do they sign their own name? Or do they have a made up signature for their in game name?

Hmm... I guess I'm pretty lucky on that count.

I met ROOTSlush a few days after release at a quebec tourny, where he eventually lost to AlexCMoi. Fayth was also there.

Then, at WCG Lan ETS I saw Kiwikaki, Slush and Fayth once again.

The next LAN ets, a few months later, was much more stacked. Kiwikaki, Fayth, Slush, DDE, Desrow, Attero, Mihai... it was awesome!

In 2004 the WCG Grand Finals were in San Francisco, so I took some vacation days from work and headed over there. I hung around mostly with mnm and collegeBored and had the opportunity to meet Testie, Nazgul, Artosis, Insane, I think Drone was there... Anyway Testie was (is?) very much a young hooligan who was really interested in pulling pranks and whatnot, and by contrast Artosis was (is?) very much a man of business and passion. Even back then he talked about nothing but Starcraft: who his opponents were, what map he was playing next round, what the balance on the maps are like, what some good strategies are on the WCG maps, who has the best chance against the Koreans, definite shoutouts to him for holding it down even now. I forget who it was that introduced me to Nazgul as "TL's most famous resident conservative" and Nazgul's eyes immediately lit up and he said to me something along the lines of "you seem friendly enough" as he shook my hand haha.

At the first Blizzcon I bought a second copy of SC just so the progamers would sign it. I met and took pictures with Nal_rA, NaDa, I think YellOw was there too, and some other players I can't really remember. That was a super awesome moment though.

The lesson is if you have even a remote opportunity to go to a major tournament, you must go! You won't regret it.

I donated Huk $5 in beta when he was on VT for his new pc/cat food lol. I joked about how he should pay me back with interest after he won Dreamhack and HSC3 when he came on kawaiirice's stream. He actually asked for my paypal saying he always pays his debts, and I dodged lol. Went to MLG Anaheim and my friend told him that I was here. He said HuK said, "tell that bitch to get over here" lol Waiting in line for Boxer (too busy practicing T_T), HuK came over and did a small signing and he pulls out a gigantic wad of cash like a boss and gave me $20 and signed the bill lol

I also met Kiwikaki and FnaticMSI.Rain in the restroom there. I wish they had urinals instead of stalls.

HUK IS AWESOME

For MLG Anaheim, Teamliquid, vVv, TK, and VP gamers all came to my internet cafe ^__^. I got to meet huk, jinro, TLO, HDstarcraft, Dopa, and several others. The best part was that I could stand over their shoulder and watch them play... their APM is insane, it sounds like a typist doing 120 WPM.

One of the guys who were mods on Team Liquid closed my thread once last year. I don't know which one of them it was. It might've been Jinro.

I shook IdrA's hand and got a picture taken with him at Columbus. It was like my unrealistic goal going there and I actually got it so I was pretty excited to meet my favorite pro

Messaged qxc when he was at one of the earlier MLGs playing idra, when he was accidently researching air plating instead of ground plating for his Thors. Told him what was up, and he said "rofl thanks"

During the beta I got 0-5ed by Artosis, beat Tasteless, Torch, and Neans. Lost to KawaiiRice and Machine. I beat Louder on his stream PvP with 2 gate proxy on Blistering Sands when he had like 1500 viewers, I came in chat afterwards because I didn't stream cheat, and people were saying he used the n-word haha.

Got to play a FFA with Masq and Cella, that was fun. I tried to kill cella with voidrays and he was freaking out lol. But then I got smashed by my neighbor.

Recently lost a game to KellyMilkies because my PvZ is horrific. Probably the lowest moment of my SC2 career lol. And I got manner hatched too.

My MMR sucks I wish I could still play known players like in beta. :/ FU PVZ
