I think "one of the best" narrows it down to Thorzain, Idra, Vortix, and Lucifron.


agree !

Unless Kaelaris is talking old-school BW legend. But I doubt it.

Wasnt Jinro good at BW? If not that leaves Grr and Idra (and Nazgul )

I can't see IdrA coming back. He hated the game and he sucked at it towards the end of his career. Given stuchiu's article one would think that Kaelaris tries to hint towards that list. But maybe he is also completely unaware of it and just trying to hype someone up.

Vortix and Lucifron are currently doing pretty well in Heroes so, unless they had a sudden change of mind after amazing showing at their last LAN, I wouldn't bet money on them.

Per his twitter I believe QXC has been playing zerg.


Keep in mind that who you would consider the best and who kaelaris would consider the best may be wildly different. QXC in his time had some great accomplishments.

Also true I guess. Also Grubby is a legend in his own right. NaNiwa didn't really stop playing though since he came back the last time, right? I am thinking more out-of-retirement and less took-a-break-from-sc2-for-a-few-months (NaNiwa)

ok that's a fair point haha

e: both of the Duran brothers haven't played HotS in a month on their main accounts, if that's any indicator (could be just smurfing)

Could have been tod/grubby/naniwa/stephano, but different good reasons dismiss them.
Naniwa is still an option !
But I don't think Kaelaris would speak of him in such mysterious terms, as he was playing/streaming a lot end of Hots.

I think it's Idra

zerg is stronger than ever right now and a lot of the balance he had issue with in HotS was practically solved with ravagers and vipers.

I don't find that very indicative of being the smurf "VillaiN" or that he's "returning to old form".
I see that as just "I'm playing games as Zerg and it's frustrating people lol"
