I just watched a video document about Warcraft3 players "Beyond the Game" - it's mostly about Grubby, but MaDFroG showed up there also. I remember this guy was pretty good in SC2 in 2010, but in 2011 he disappear. Last note about him on liquipedia "On January 12, 2011, SK Gaming MaDFroG Announced That would be leaving the organization, due to new, high demands for Enlarging His salary and opening a pro-gaming house for him in South Korea"
Anybody know what's going on with him?

Last I heard he was a prison guard and not playing competitively.
|
Same thing, but with Cauthonluck, or Silver?
|
he got the boot from sk didn't he?
|
Since he wasn't so successful in SC2 I think he quit progaming. Sucks, he was the sickest foreign UD player in WC3. And his very unique style in SC2 didn't fit the metagame back then. I think he should try again for it.

Prison guard? i met em irl and that.. is no prison guard material
|
Silver just wasn't good enough to sustain a pro-gaming career.
|
He was the poster boy for SK but they didn't want to commit to a salary for him (one that would match his previous WC3 income) so he left the organization.
Afaik he's no longer active in SC2. I kind of feel SaSe has taken his place though and already outdone him.

iirc SK Gaming wasn't really satisfied by his results, and when he had to renew his contract with them they just dropped him.
I used to watch him playing and i didnt liked his style at all, he gave me the same feeling when i watch iNcontroL (sorry Geoff..). And no offense but he was one of the most overrated players in 2010.

idk, his primary builds did involve abusing terran back when it was really OP. i remember he even took games off of IdrA in the manner morrow did abusing the 5rax reaper build and lost temples tank cliff placement. he did quit after the patch that nerfed terran pretty hard came i believe, correct me if im wrong.

I'm pretty sure he plays LoL now. I've seen his name a few times when I watch high level LoL streams so either it's him or someone else is playing LoL with his name.

Silver still plays on the ladder casually. Still quite decently well :3 (used to chat with him a lot back then).

Hmm.. I didn't follow the SC2 scene in the beginning, but all the games I've seen from Madfrog he played as Zerg. Perhaps he switched races..?
As far as I know he worked as a prison guard all the time he played SC2, that's perhaps why his results weren't that impressive (but I liked his style). Then to commit full time to SC2 he demanded a higher salary from SK, but due to his results they didn't want to reach his expectations.. Kinda sad, I'm pretty sure he would have became one of the top Europeans.

MadFrog played Zerg, I remember he was one of the first Zerg's I watched when I was discovering the SC2 pro scene. Him, Idra, Silver, TLO, and HuK

This is a perfect example of being an IdrA sheep. Silver was having excellent results even when he quit, but most people still irrationally hate on him (like they hated Cruncher) just because IdrA said "He is a terrible player".
I think its good to have your own opinions once in a while and look at results and players objectively instead of parroting what IdrA says. Almost every person who IdrA calls terrible are people who he has lost to at some point and he just doesnt have the humility to accept that he got outplayed by them. He even called people like KiwiKaKi, MarineKing, Nestea , HuK and NaNiwa terrible at some points of time, and they are all better players than him (except for maybe KiwiKaKi) and have better results than him as well.

Silver from Canada? Did he win something? I know nothing about this guy.
