Sjaak is back! I hope he can follow up on some of the amazing performances he had last year.
|
so many protosses 
|
Isn't he the guy that crushed Axiom is one of the acer cups then disappeared? I remember being impressed with his results, but it was during the blink era...It will be interesting to see how he does now.
|
Lol, hate to throw "patch" around but his showing kinda speaks for itself. Good luck nonetheless though
|
Yay 
|
Sjaak attack ! Happy to see him back

That is indeed Sjaak haha!

Seeing Sjaak back in ECVisualize is a great thing. When Sjaak was playing under the wings of ECV he was motivated and eager to learn and the will to be the best. Lets light up that fire in him and show the SC2 world how big of a talented player Sjaak is.
Not only a great player but also a great person!

...what patch?
There's been no patch recently that affects Protoss. The upcoming patch changes Swarm Hosts and nerfs Ravens. Neither of which are going to affect Protoss in a massively beneficial way.
So I don't see the point in your post at all.

RIP mouz?

The roster of mouz is getting thinner. I hope they won't disband their Sc2 section now that HasuObs took his extended break

Well, we have our 2015 Blizzcon champion.

It looks like they are refering as "patchtoss" to players that performed better when terran players hadn't learned how to hold blink all ins yet.

strong racist team only protoses allowed :D

Hello? , one reservation for WCS season 2 please, name?: Sjaak.

If by learned how to hold blink all ins you mean they got rid of the maps that made it nearly impossible to hold unless you microed and responded perfectly then yes

Yes.
I'd love for Axiom to be able to get revenge but unfortunatey ECV aren't in the same group.

fyi, sjaak never blink-allined

They're talking about the strength of Protoss when Sjaak was rising through the ranks...
Ahh, that makes sense. The way he phrased it seemed to imply he was coming back because protoss was OP at the moment or whatever.

The one true protoss returns!

I don't see the appeal of CS:GO. It's too brutal. Look the wrong way for a second and you're dead. I can't wait for 343 to fix their shit with Halo MCC (which is steadily getting better) and see Halo blow up again big time. I think Halo 3 was one of the best competitive shooters ever. Or at least, in our age.

Not to derail, but Halo was never that big anyway, even in its golden era of #2

No idea who this player is, why is this news?

The "blow up again" and "big time" are separate ideas.
Halo was still the flagship of MLG (and it was bigger in the 08/09 days of H3 than it was in 06/07 H2) and drew audiences despite the lack of the technology we have now. It can be a lot bigger.

Just because it isn't news to you, doesn't mean it isn't news to others... Sjaak is a very young Dutch protoss (15?) who made big waves by taking out big names at a Dreamhack.
|
the acer of protoss. I think teams like that fuel the players to improve having so many of one race talk and discuss strategies with. Nowadays players don't really mass custom games with b-teamers and teammates its a ladder practice mostly.
|
They should merge with ATcm and make 1 really respectable team imho.
|
Good news, I hope he can live up to his crazy Dreamhack performance this year.
|
Did Sjaak used to play Terran?

Not recently. He's been Protoss as long as I've heard of him (~1/2 year?)

Exactly how Protosses learned to hold the 1-1-1. Well that and the Nexus Cannon.

I remember that great Dreamhack run, hoping he can return to form.

He barely if at all blink all-inned vs Terran tho, in fact he beat Ryung for example with pretty strong macro + Show Spoiler + don't think it is fair to call Sjaak a patch toss or whatever .
