This pepe tried it with our team aswell, but since we got a korean in our ranks, we knew it was a hoax from the start, his korean was just with google translater made.

I think this snag was big for the team.

I'm curious about this imposter guy. If his play is okay, then why bother pretending to be someone else?


Many reasons:
1) Lets say Combatex/Deezer (who are half solid) want to join a team but are completely aware that their reputation will keep any reputable team from recruiting them--thus, act like someone else (why pick a reputable name in this case is the real question as you can just make yourself up completely and be a new person)
2) Extreme versions of padding of a resume' Some people would be good at jobs they are applying for but fear being looked over so you make some minor edits to your history. in this case the person went extreme and claimed to be an exBW pro.

3) for shits and giggles? people on the internet do some weird stuff sometimes just to say they did.


#2 is probably the main reason. Someone who is pretty good wouldn't get paid nearly as much as an ex-BW pro who is just switching over and is getting kinda good.

Wait, why would you (of all people) impost as the progamer pepe. no disrespect to pepe but the farthest he made in his career was the gom ro16 afaik... Even tasteless was pretty clear about disliking his play.

That's what makes him the perfect target. Ex-BW pro no matter how insignificant carries a lot of weight considering how many players who never so much as made it out of the B-team have had success. If you were going to steal someone's identity you'd want someone just barely noticeable enough so a handful of people remember him, yet obscure enough that nobody will really care too much so they won't bother double checking to see if it's the real deal. Plus, pepe had left progaming so it was unlikely for the man himself to catch this fraud.

Lol.. I think this is kind of hilarious. Didn't it say he already lived in the house? It would have been interesting if he could have pulled it off, and played at events and stuff.
