EPTFirst we Make Language, Then we Speak it
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/aUryt.jpg)
It is no great secret that WhiteRa's English is not his strong suit. He is from the Ukraine, and thusly speaks Russian. If you wish to become WhiteRa you must create your own unique brand of broken English. Instead of saying "Today I will stream" you should instead say "I make stream today". Not only is it catchier, but you also sound cuter when doing it. This is important because if you are to become WhiteRa you must try to become a married man. Apologies to the ladies, but this man is taken and he will be unavailable. First he makes relationship, then he defends it.
Find a Disabled Person, Make him Happy

WhiteRa embodies happiness. Spread your happiness to all others, especially those who are less fortunate than you. You gain more happiness points by spreading it around, making you even more happy. More happy, more happy.
Be Completely 100% Manner 100% of the Time

Seriously, I don't know when the last time WhiteRa BM'ed someone was. The dude is even better mannered than Sheth, and that’s because Sheth BM's Deezer, which everyone can agree is completely forgiveable. He doesn't ever make a scene even when he is wronged or upset by something. Remember MLG Anaheim? Whitera was disqualified in his first match for being late, even though he was there. He took the ruling standing up, and beast moded through the open bracket. He faced the opponent he was disqualified against later on, Gimix. Gimix threw the first two games away worker rushing to make it a fair 2-2 series. That is the reputation that WhiteRa has. Day or night, cheese or macro, gg or accidental f10+n, WhiteRa is always there with a smile and thumbs up.
Dominate the Scene Since...Ever

This guy has been around since the very beginning. He's played Brood War since release, and SC2 since Beta. His list of tournament wins is almost as big as his smile. Multiple WCG Ukraine championships, IPL2, HomestoryCupII. The list goes on. And it isn't just the championships he's won. Almost every single major tournament in Europe, WhiteRa has been there. He is consistently in the top few brackets without fail. WhiteRa, while also instilling happiness and images of rainbows and flowers to most people, also instils fear in his opponents. When he sits down to play a match, his hair sticks on end. His shoulders square. His pupils enlarge and cover all of his eye whites. His opponents are suddenly consumed by visions of rivers of blood, broken shattered villages and women and children running and crying in fear of WhiteRa's army. After they have been thoroughly smashed, the normal WhiteRa returns and he shakes his opponents hand and moves on with a smile.
Employ Special Tactics

No article about WhiteRa would be complete without mention of Special Tactics. Special Tactics can be defined simply as anything that WhiteRa does that is out of the ordinary. Which happens to be everything WhiteRa does. Whether it is two base 12gate Dragoon Zealot way back when in Brood War or Archon drops in the present, you can count on WhiteRa on doing something unusual. The quickest way to employ your own Special Tactics is to grab a Warp Prism, fill it to the brim with Special Tactic commandoes, and DROP ALL THE THINGS. If you want to get more in depth WhiteRa’s special tactics take a huge amount of preparation and focus. Most of his builds are specifically designed for an opponent or a common style and exploit weaknesses in his opponent’s timings. WhiteRa is one of the most powerful 7/8 gaters out there because of how precise he is. Oh you think he won because he was lucky he attacked before Burrow was finished? No. He planned for that and knew almost down to the second what he needed to do.
Even his Warp Prism play is calculated to divert his opponent’s attention from what he is actually trying to do. While harassing he will frequently set up a new base in secret or he will maneuver his army into an advantageous position.
Keep the Community in Mind

WhiteRa’s commitment to growing and caring for the SC2 community is truly astounding. He is committed to making all of his fans as happy as possible, and this man delivers. He has rarely if ever given cause for a complaint. One example of this is something that WhiteRa has repeated many a time. He does not offer private coaching sessions even though he could probably charge a good $100 an hour or more. His reasoning? “I have many offer for 100$. But choise make stream. It’s better for practice and community.”
