Reading this article after clicking on the headline has been an incredibly huge disappointment... For half a second, I truely believed that he was coming to compete again.

Still, let's look at the bright side of things, it is great that he is keeping in touch with the scene.

Wow! That's fantastic stuff!

Okay, excuse me for my WC3 noobishness. Whereabouts in relation to Moon, Grubby and Lyn would you put him in terms of skill at WC3?

Edit: Oh, as strategy coach. That's kind of cool.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

He was a very different case. Grubby and Moon have been dominating (with some ups and downs) for the whole existence of the W3 scene (or most of it). Creolophus was a young player who decided to take a year of break from studies (kinda like Stephano), got hired by the huge team 4K who also had Grubby and ToD. And during this year, he rose to the absolute top, being able to beat everyone constitently at the end of the year, making a good performance at the ESWC just before he stopped.

However, as he didn't have his major win, and had to stop after the year was over, he went to the WCG anyway, after having stopped playing for about 3 months, there he owned everyon and ultimately beat Sky to win the event. That was a pretty legendary run, given how beasty Sky was at the time.

He got 2nd at ESWC, which was pretty much the 2nd biggest tournament of the year, after WCG. I also remember Creo for never losing to Grubby after he joined 4k, going something like 5-0 in match scores in tournaments. He is also similar to Stephano in this way.

Oh and he + Grubby were an undefeated 2v2 team, with him playing NE and Grubby playing random.

Creos WCG run was easily one of the top 5 moments in WC3 history. In terms of where he would have fallen given an entire career of playing WC3, with a sample size like Moon, Grubby and Sky, it's very hard to say. He obviously showed he could compete with all of them, so I think in the end he would have been getting placed just behind them on GOAT lists. Personally, I think he would have ended up being right around the same area as ToD [slightly higher]

Good to see another WC3 pro back in the scene. I realize its in a different capacity than a player, but perhaps he will try that hat on as well. Here is to hoping.

Dude, are you streetwise from WC3?

EDIT: lol, probably not the same one, but I use to play with a guy who used that tag.

So that means, he has been playing to some degree right? He has to be playing to understand the game after all. Excited to see what happens

To be fair, he only started beasting up after his transfer to 4K. His run in 2007 was insane; he essentially stopped Sky from completing a hat trick in WCG WC3 gold. Not to mention he beat Soju in Blizzcon just a couple of months before.

Holy shit my body is not ready for this. Anyone knows if he's played any SC2 games? I'd die to watch that cheer talent in form of a SC2 replay!

Yes, he has been playing quite a bit. He obviously has a good sense of the game and strategy's revolving SC2 as he is training high master - low GM players.

Im not 100% sure, but I heard someone say that Creo had actualy quit playing WC3 when he competed in blizzcon, and only started practicing again a week before the WCG qualifiers, after a 2months break or something. Is this true, or just a rumor?
