was skeptical about the pick but loved your answers ^^ best of luck to you dood =) I knew about this move because of deathangel!\!

I'm kinda in NoGasfOu's place, I've definitely heard of him and I have seen his name on the streamer links, but is there any definitive game he has played where we can really get the gist of his play style? Kinda like if one wanted to see Empire.ViOlet's most amazing showing, one would pick something like his double nydus strat that he used during last years redbull training ground. I guess my post is basically, is there a video I can see of him absolutely showing his mettle?
EDIT: by his place I mean the first part of his post, not the second, I totally understand picking up and developing darkhorses, much like x6.Suppy.

Nice pickup, good luck to both of you =)

All new people who want to become progamers run into a catch 22 scenario.
They can't play fulltime because of lack of income if they dont either work/go to school
They can't become better at a fast enough rate because they can't play full time.

There are some exceptions to your rule; some people out there are just "made of talent"  or they have very high IQ. While stephano is out of school he still doesn't practice anywhere near the amount of daily hours that the top koreans practice.
Lucifron is attending university but he just picks up the game for 2 days and knocks out stephano.
Mondragon also comes to mind.
And Protosser, a finnish (he comes from Finland) top 16 finisher at this DreamHack is only 15 and obviously in school.

is this ignoring the fact that quantic has had a couple of good signings recently and already look hella scary with the likes of NaNiwa?

Why do a lot of people say this?
Why don't they keep doing what they're doing, providing support to good players, they don't need to be known now, because if Quantic was right in their scouting then they've just picked up a cheap player who is really good. Not everyone who is good is known.

Going to agree with this. =D

was wondering where he left... gratz to him for getting into good team.

Oh wow i remember i used to watch his stream a long time ago, i thought he stopped playing or something. Good to know he is back.
