Ignore him, he only shows up to make doomsday posts.

He wasn't good when he was actively playing either, it won't take much long before he once again retires, for good this time.

What's so funny about that?

He couldn't have been one of the best in WoL beta or what? I don't get it?

Somewhat unrelated: why did Hack switch back to Korea?? He already had his spot in WCS AM o.O
just doesnt make much sense to me when he got further in WCS AM season 3 than he did in any korean tournament

god was he horrible in wol

I just remember at an MLG in 2011 he was in SeleCT's group and I was worried considering all the Korean dominance that had happened. Then SeleCT absolutely CRUSHED him 2-0. I'm pretty sure he got knocked out by Demuslim too.

Don't remember him making huge waves in early GSL's either. We'll see how he does in the qualifier.

Trickster and Fruitdealer (aka ssks and cool) were far and away the 2 very best SC2 players back in the beta. They were the best players in early WoL too, and then they got rich and threw their careers away and started scandals.
I rooted for them back in the day, but now I hope he just gets crushed and moves on with his life outside of eSports.

I wonder if military service will do the same to Tester as it did to Kal.

The Code A qualifier results say otherwise, but it might be too soon to shut the idea down completely.

Oh wow, I was a big fan of his in the early WoL days looking for a good protoss that would actually macro and this guy was the nexus first or die trying guy before them all.

Really glad he's back, I hope he can show good results like he used to.

Presuming it's funny, since Idra is refering himself to be the best in WoL beta.

Anyways, this guy taught me to Pylon block Zergs ramps, love this guy!

One of my favourite games of all time. Sick hold by Tester, was super sad when he left. Might be enough to get me excited about the scene again if he does well!

Wait there's a player named hyper dub? That's my favorite record company, that's so cool.



Hyperdub was one of the perpetual Code S terrans that got third in groups in ro32 and therefore was never knocked out of Code S. He was on oGs. This was in 2010 during the first 3 seasons and then 2011 with code S.

Nah, you're talking about Ensnare and Virus. Hyperdub was only in two seasons of Code S. He made Ro16 in the first one, bombed straight to Code A in the next one
