While I admit I didnt like his playstyle much and hated him for beating Inno I cant stay mad at him .
Fly on little duck!
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

Stuichu I know people say this a lot, but there's no way they can say it enough: Your writing gives me chills. It reminds me every time exactly what it is to be an esports fan. Thank you.
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)

The greatest players, those that I respect, always do everything not only to win but also to entertain the crowd. This is something that a lot of progamers failt to realize. Guess why Boxer has been always the most popular player, someone that everybody always desires to watch? Even way past his prime, when he was no longer relevant in terms of championship caliber players, he would make sure that his games are a one of a kind experience and the spectator would feel like watching him play wasn't a wasted time.

Who wanted to watch duckduck games? Nobody, except some protoss players who were looking to steal an easy build in order to get some free ladder points.

Yeah, I saw the article and just imaged Idra or someone like that just being like "PFFFFFFFFFF [image loading]" and moving on.



Anyway, the last paragraph was really interesting. I agree with it completely. But valar morghulis. : (

I watched the live stream when MVPfinale won. When he broke into tears, my eyes got watery, too.

No-one really had him on the list. But that day, he showed.

Watching that last vid is awesome. I LOVE that passion from him. It is a great thing to see. Even being an MC fan I am happy that Duckdeock won. Good crowd too!

At BlizzCon, there was one more chance to experience all of that glory, but it was not to be. Instead, it all ended for duckdeok in what must have been the most familiar of settings: in a dark room, trying to escape and earn a chance to play in front of the world.




This part made me really sad. I was at Blizzcon and was extremely bummed out when I discovered that Innovation vs duckdeok wasn't going to be played on the main stage. And to make matters worse, I couldn't get a connection to watch the stream while there. Been a fan since his beginnings as MVP finale (I like rooting for the underdog) and it sucks I missed his final hurrah. Nice write up, and I wish all the best for duckdeok with his future. His presence and passion will not be forgotten, even if it was short lived.

That's what she said.
