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. | ||

That's so weird he's proabably really cheap and just wants a shot. P.s. I'm still mad that he got invited to the gsl exchange program instead of a bunch of players I would have preferred but I'm not holding that against him | ||

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! | ||

I was a pretty big Tester fan back in the day, and I can easily get in his corner for one more go around  | ||

he created the initial 4 gate build - with probes pulled out of gas and pylons building everywhere in the opponents base, waring in only zealots (warpgate tech had shorter research time). awesome news | ||

It seems that he didn't go too far in any of the GSLs, though for some reason I used to mistakenly think he got to the finals of Season 1. He's talked about somewhat often relative to other retired players of his time. | ||

my favorite player of all-time. I scheduled my 2010 fall and 2011 spring classes around GSL solely for the purpose of staying up and watching his games. nothing would mean more to me and would interest me in Starcraft again than to see Tester qualify and play in a professional match of some capacity again. selfishly hoping that he is going to actually play for a while and this wasn't just a for fun kind of thing. | ||

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. | ||

What's so funny about that? 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! | ||

http://www.pgr21.com/pb/pb.php?id=gamenews&no=6755 Apparently there's going to be some online cup in a couple of weeks where both Legend and Trickster (whose ID change to Bulldozer looks to be official) are going to participate. Also pretty much confirms he is on ST (he has already tagged thus in Code A qualifiers). | ||
