Check pretty much taught me zerg. Hopefully he'll come back as a coach or something. Way too much experience not to.

He was always sort of behind nestea, losira, drg, the top zergs. He was just one of the 'average' zergs. Like, with terran, there are just so many good terrans. And with zerg, you just hear nestea nestea nestea over and over. With protoss, it's like only 1 or 2 good toss, and the rest are just 'horrible' (horrible by code s standards i guess, i know obviously way better than me, duh).

But check sort of showed that really, zerg, like toss, and unlike terran, sucked in general, besides maybe 1-2 players.

I know that sounds sort of mean... I guess what I mean to say, is that I really enjoyed watching check, because he seemed much more 'real', if that makes any sense. I've watched all his games, and loved watching him play. He was definitely a great player to watch, and anyone who is a fan of zerg has watched and followed him.

I probably sound like a dick and totally self-contradictory here... but I really loved check. Probably one of my favorite players to have watched of all.

Sad. He was the only WC3 progamer I knew who said even long time before the beta hit he would commit fully to SC2. I think he really worked hard to be one of the best in the game and it's sad he never accomplished that. His games as a Zerg were always lacking in some points. To be fair, every Zerg's game was lacking at the time of GSL open tournaments, but Check didn't improve with the same rate as the others. Check was also one of the best Night Elves in WC3, but never became a superstar and never won some major individual tournament.

I wonder if it's because he has to go to the army.

I already was kind-of a Check fan during his WC3 time. Since he never really broke through, I hoped that he will manage it in SC2.
You don't choose to play zerg. The zerg choose you.

As far as I know, check is one of the oldest pro gamers? Not age wise. I mean he had been a pro gamer since War3 Reign of Chaos?
