DuSt Gaming is proud to announce the addition of Shin "MadBull" Ki Hoon to it's Starcraft 2 Squad! Most notably recognized by his exceptional play in the GSTL, leading to nearly half of New Star Hoseo's win rate for Season 1. He will certainly help DuSt Gaming in up coming team leagues and team related events. With DuSt Gaming gaining a lot of exposure recently with our consistant offline LANs at MLG's Raleigh 2012 and Anaheim 2013, as well as our captain's sWs' amazing run at IEM NY, this pickup is surely to bring us closer to the desired level we want to be as an organization.
Shin "MadBull" Ki Hoon had this to say about joining:
"I was looking for a foreign team after NS HoSeo disbanded, but it was hard to find one because StarCraft 2's position was getting worse. I was worried because I couldn't find a team, so I'm very happy to join DuSt.
I've always wanted to go abroad aspired to be a part of the foreign scene. I'm excited for the many experiences I can have with DuSt Gaming. I will work hard for them, and I hope to become a top ranked player in WCS as well. I'll show you cool ceremonies and good games at foreign tournaments."
DuSt Gaming's Manager Ricky "Bidoux" Robidoux had this to say:
"This is probably the biggest step we've taken to growing our Starcraft 2 team. I've gotten to know MadBull quite well and I love his determination to grow as a player, he'll definitely help us grow as an organization. I hope you guys follow DuSt Gaming because things are just about to get interesting."
Everyone at DuSt Gaming is super excited about the addition of MadBull and will strive to provide him the best possible environment for both his, and the team's success. DuSt Gaming hopes you, the community, engage yourself with DuSt Gaming and cheer "MadBull" on at upcoming LAN events, as we will surely hope to make that a reality. You can catch MadBull in upcoming ISTL and UASL team league matches!
DuSt Gaming's current Starcraft II Squad:
MadBull sWs Spitfire RSM Quonzar Pride (aka Ender) DeMoN SlowLy

Hmmm, which Terran Pride is on Dust?

he used to be Ender (edited in OP)
|
sWs had an 'amazing run'? He cheesed DeMuslim and then lost to Hack and Snute pretty badly.

I think MadBull is generalizing the situation of sc2 in Korea to the situation of sc2 in the world. I'm pretty sure that more prize money was handed out this year than last. ^.^
Anyways, gl hf.

Beating a competitive player who I am assuming has a much, much higher salary roll than you isn't amazing?
|
wow I should be happy that madbull finding a team but I was expecting a bigger team
|
Nice pick up
|
The man with the name and legs. That's quite a big signing you have got there. Be sure to treat him well, m'kay?
|
Cool! Will he still live in Korea though? Or will he move to the US to play in WCS NA?
Didn't you also have Sia on the roster?

Not particularly. Casual players beat pro-gamers on ladder with some level of frequency. Beating one professional player, even at an offline event, with two cheeses isn't a particularly amazing result.

Grats to signing the best player after Pigbaby

Oh lawd what a time to be alive!

grats to Madbull. Hope it all goes well for you. We'll miss you in GSTL. Your time was too short

Madbull is so good. I am glad for him.
Now Dust Gaming needs one more Zerg player to make their roster balanced!

I think I played Dust's manager Bidoux this week on ladder... it was a Silver level PvP and I won lol.

I think beating Demuslim even if it was in a cheesy style still should give he some recognition. IEM had him playing vs Hyun initially and he would likely play a zerg second round. So he prepared vs zergs quite heavily going into this tournament. At the very last minute IEM changed the brackets and changed who sWs was to play. So making it to loser's round 3 was a pretty decent run for an up and coming player consider the people he had to face.
Also I'm very happy that DuSt is picking up more players best of luck in the future guys!

That's the dumbest excuse I've ever heard, so you go into a tournament only practicing one matchup? You should be ready for anything and everything, the best player wins.

What about that + the fact that Demuslim put up a blog about how much he struggles vs cheese in tournaments the week before?

I did cheese Demuslim, I did so because every game I've faced him on ladder i've macro'd versus him, and he is a very greedy player. Cheesing him just made sense. All is fair in a tournament, winning is winning. I will admit Hack did destroy me straight up, but versus Snute I feel the games were fairly close. With a few tiny fixes I surely could of taken a game off of him and given him a run for his money.

Well it's true. I didnt really prepare my PvT, and this is because in stage 1 of IEM there were 16 players. Only 2 of which were terrans and they weren't on my side of the bracket. It seemed like the smart thing at the time to focus all of my free-time (im a full-time student) on preparing my PvZ when I was most likely only going to play PvZ o_O.
I'll only say one more thing about this, because this is not even the main point of the thread.
I am thankful to DuSt for sending me to IEM (as-well as MLG Raleigh 2012, and MLG Anahiem 2013), and I was honored to be able to play such high caliber players in a LAN setting.
Welcome to the team Madbull, fighting!

This is the team that announced some sort of team house, never did end up seeing pictures of it or heard of players actually living in it.

I've been on the team since the very beginning, and yes we were planning on having a team house. About a year ago, when the opportunity for that happened only about 1-2 of our 8 or so players were willing to take off school and live in the house so the idea was essentially scrapped. It wasn't a lie or anything crazy like that

MadBull fans should take up callnig themselves his Calves :o
|
I always thought dust was just an NA clan runner by todeskampf and just picks up Koreans like zappy dreamizer and parker and sia for teamleagues Also isn't bidoux rsm or plzleaveduck? At least that's who he played under in vs KT Stats in one of the mlgs.

RSM and plzleaveduck are the same person, bidoux is the manager/owner. At MLG Anaheim duck didn't show so Bidoux played for him as a joke for him since we already paid for the player pass. Bidoux is currently in silver, and 6p'd stats twice haha. Also i've never run the show, we are a team rather than a clan. We've had many Koreans on our team in the past.

i will say though my experience with this team led me to believe they're nothing more than amateur unless things have changed a lot. todeskampf runs his mouth and is BM (was pretty shitty back then too), prolly because that behavior was tolerated by bidoux. i knew bidoux from wc3 and he was a lil shit back then too, i wish he'd of introduced himself to me @ mlg anaheim and said some of the stuff he said to me when we had a clan war vs. em and they tried to get free ff wins.

A lot has changed. I use to be a pretty big cunt on the ladder back in WoL, but i've cleaned up my act for a long time since then.

Nice pickup for them but I have to agree that this part could be worded at least a little bit more humble. I can't help but laugh a little when I read it like that. Sorry.

I didn't really know about them at all until today and MLG Raleigh 2012 doesn't seem very "recently" to me. And what are consistant "offline LANs" anyway?
Still wish the team success for the future but maybe be a bit more realistic in upcoming posts about the amount of exposure that you have created.

UASL is going on, matches are every saturday and monday. ISTL starts this Wednesday and you can expect to see him playing in both, follow @teamDuSt on twitter or pay close attention to TL events and there is a good chance you will be able to see him play. also i'll be tweeting when he plays too

If Demuslim lost to cheese, then he played too greedy.
The better player at the moment, by definition of the word better, always wins.

I was just making a general statement / joke. Guy before me said "The better player at the moment, by definition of the word better, always wins" and I was just pointing out that that is a ridiculous statement. I never said anything about your games. Don't get all teary eyed.

It's not that ridiculous, in a bo1 luck plays a huge factor, but in a bo3 or a bo5 the better player is probably going to win.
