Haha thank you There will be more FP videos within the upcoming days. As soon as I get around encoding all that stuff that I recorded. Got a few more from players like Stork, Journey, Jjakji, JYP etc

He's the guy who got signed as soon as he won his qualifiers right? Would have been nice to have an interview with these under-the-radar players, but it's probably a nightmare to coordinate.

Anyhow, thanks as always Khaldor. I saw you breaking 10k for the qualifiers before I went to sleep so cheers on that (record?)!

Nah, not a record, we had more viewers last time because it was the first HotS qualifier. And interviews are quite difficult because of the lack of translators. Mr.Chae helped out for the interview with Jjakji but in in general it's really hard.

Also from my perspective as the guy who puts in the time it's much better to do videos like this since interviews are obsolete after a few days and nobody will watch it anymore whereas FP videos are kinda timeless and very unique compare to standard interviews.

The guy is a rather unknown player and his APM isn't spectacular like Losira/Kangho crazy hands or something.

EDIT: Ill just edit this so I don't derail it. Shows the thread quality when more posts are to flame me than discuss the topic

Not sure what your point is. Content like this is pretty unique and I spend quite some time on recording these things. Threads in the past have clearly shown that people are very much interested in them and it's certainly contributing a lot more than most people do.

People actually demand videos like this every time I announce I'm going to cast the qualifier. Sorry if you don't like it but I guess you have to deal with it. And btw. it's not the link to the youtube video I'm contributing, it's the video itself.

Ignore that idiot, I was watching the qualifiers live at like 4am. The time and effort you put in is unrivalled. I personally love the FP videos as I'm a bit of a keyboard nerd haha

Keep up the good work Khaldor!

Highwinds mother makes him a sandwich as a child. What follows:

i swear half your meals are sandwiches and a juice box. What kind of variety is this?? I get that you raised, clothed, and housed me and i appreciate it. But these things really annoy me. I come to the dinner table expecting quality meals because that is what moms are supposed to provide.

This sandwich is subpar and it doesn't have mayo or anything interesting.

Can't please everyone, keep doing your thing Khaldor.

I enjoyed the video, if he just posted it in the youtube video thread no one would see it compared to having its own thread. Perhaps Khaldor should have his own youtube thread/blog for his content instead of individual threads, but relegating this to the youtube thread is just a waste of quality content.

Cool vid, thanks for the content as always!

But I don't think interviews are obsolete or less liked than fpvods. Good interviews are also pretty timeless. It's just really hard to get a good interview with the language barrier and translation loss.

He's apparently on Startale but he may have joined immediately following the qualifiers. The account he was using had the [NEX] tag and he wasn't in a uniform in the video.

Damm, he is using his index finger for the majority of key presses. Isn't that way to much stress on a single finger?

It's cool of you khaldor to post these videos, but I want to say blast that Balloon, I wanted to see Sniper qualify.
It is also funny when you post these first person videos. I just knew someone was going to say something about Losira/Kangho and his fingers.

Damn it Khaldor! Don't you know what happens when you post these APM videos?! <3

Anyway, pretty surprised, though I cannot say I cared for his playstyle very much when I watched the matches.

@PhoenixLight
I use index and middle finger almost entirely, minus control, alt, shift keys. Can't say it's ever really bothered me, but it depends on the keyboard a lot. Then again, I don't have the APM he does and I certainly don't play nearly as much as he does I'm sure.

I normally love your content, but this was pretty random in terms of content. It doesn't feel like this single video is thread worthy unless you were to post a compilation of FP vods with Koreans qualifying. That would definitely be interesting and much more exciting than watching a single FP vod of an unknown player. Maybe post a few more to compare to?

(just a few ideas on how to make this thread more entertaining! no hard feelings <3)

People always joke that Protoss only use two keys (1 and A), but this guy is clearly pressing the shit out of that 4 key! Jokes aside, I feel we don't get a lot of Protoss APM videos so it was super nice to see one (however I have been pretty removed from the scene lately ). Thanks Khaldor!

How to tell a starcraft player from an SC2 player: 1 minute into the video and he hasn't changed screens once. . .

Still though, good play and good hands, nice to see some toss coming back into the ST lineup.

Woo so much awareness in the end, perfect timing with his army and GGGGGG


Yeah but why double twilight? O.o?



double twilight was my mistake i realize at 6:50 in video i guess when i knock back my head


I wasn't terribly impressed by the video, but it's only one game. I was really happy for you to make it onto Startale however, and that something small like a double twilight council didn't come back to bite you somehow. Great job sir.

Keep up the great work I love watching these, although admittedly I'm always scared that at one point in the video you're gonna accidentally drop the camera on the guy :O

@Balloon I'm also wondering were you aware of the fact that a suspicious yet strangely attractive bald German man was filming you?

Haha! I was wondering if you were trying for charge/blink. It hardly mattered seeing how well you stomped him!

I assume you ask for permission before you film, yeah? Has anyone ever said no?

Our translator's been busy though, so your interview hasn't been translated yet.

Anyway, congratz on qualifying and joining StarTale and good luck in Code A! Hopefully you don't have to play Life round 1. =p

It was a nice video for sure.

Though I'm curious, isn't it a bit annoying for a player to play with someone filming right behind him? Or did Khaldor ask first (I'm sure he did actually). Or is the player that absorbed playing the game that he doesn't even mind or notice?


Edit: sorry it's all been asked before. my bad should have read. either way I do appreciate these kinds of videos.

Did you name yourself Balloon or did someone else? Also I noticed you use your index finger for keys that most normally don't. Lastly, did Khaldor scare you into that special double twilight build? =D

I love those kind of contents, thank you Khaldor.

The game seems so fast when I play it but when I watch this guy playing it seems so slow and that he could play at a way faster speed.
