Guitarcheese is an American Zerg player for Deimos esport, who doesn't really have achievements, however he is said to be gm on Korean server and did okay in several smaller cups and qualifiers. He is pretty cool and skilled

Guitarcheese is a higher GM player who has been pretty well known in the NA scene for a year and some change playing on DuSt and My Intent which are notable, semi-pro teams in the US.

There are a lot of players, the old FXO NA roster comes to mind, at a similar level, that aren't terribly well known outside of the NA Clan War scene but are really quite good.

Basically the Greek god of North American Starcraft, he's usually ranked top 10 on ladder all season long. His stream is pretty funny so check it out whenever you can, he's featured now so should be easy to spot.

Guitar cheese is underated and is really good. I've been watching him for a while. He's gm in all 3 race and has different accounts for them. Holds a top 15 on Z and gm on kr. Finally he's breaking out.

Edit: Also the only higher tier players that actually helps me out without being a pompus douchbag in their little knitting group.

You're like the overly dramatic Scarlett fans who throw bitch fits whenever she's eliminated from anything. Favorite player eliminated? Hurr durr, not watching anymore.

What a dumb reason not to watch WCS.

What "unfair" thing led to his demise this time? Did someone one click a Nexus to win again?

Shame you're never going to watch WCS, there's a lot of good Terrans there with actual good mentalities towards every match-up.

Seriously, if avilo really wants to qualify for WCS he needs to sort his attitude and his mentality out.

To be fair, even if he had the mentality and attitude that you think he should have. He lost mainly because he played violet whom I'm not sure if any foreign terran is favored against even if violet has been MIA in a while.

a player with a good mentality would value the chance to face an opponent much better than himself and use the opportunity to identify weaknesses in his play instead of attributing his loss to the ease of his opponent's strategy like the ladder hero he is

This is my point exactly, I've seen avilo whine time and time again about some reason why he lost that wasn't his own play, whether it be stream cheating, that one time iNcontroL activated Photon Overcharge when he did that shitty 1-1-1 build and was supply capped for ages and basically said he lost because "Nexus Cannon" and now he just goes "LOL ROACH BUTTON"

His mentality is just shitty and it's not going to get him into WCS, once he learns that he loses through his own mistakes and not because the other guy "OMFG CLICKED A BUTTON AND WON" maybe he'll get somewhere.
