This is impressive, period. I will try to tune in sometime. Although, I will say the "hate" is actually good training for realville. If he has to struggle with it now, he should be skilled in dealing with it when that matters more.

Edit: oof have to get up at 6AM to watch. Sorry buddy. Not gonna happen... I don't do morning starcraft

No offense but, according to his ladder career he's been playing since s1, not 6 months back and first zerg portrait got unlocked at 02.05.11. Just sayin, he hasnt been playing for 6 months ;p and people who think that he dropped down from masters to diamond, highly doubt it, this is his first season in diamond.

First of all, the stream itself is quite entertaining and that should be the aim of a well done stream.
Otherwise i dont understand the excitement about a 12-years-old being in high diamond. The learning curve of the game is not dependent from age, its most likely about playing. I mean, hes playing 8 hours a day, that maybe leads to a progamer in the perspective of time spent on the game. I dont want to offend here anything, and i dont know for how long hes doing this now. He mentioned he plays the game for like half a year as zerg? Before half year protoss.
I dont make any comparisons or conclusions here, maybe i open some minds here in some ways of thinking.
Just to say it one more time, the stream is entertaining (besides the BM)

For his age the kids good. His decision making isnt the greatest, obviously, but hes good.
As a top 10 diamond toss i cant help but watch and get confused about how hes that high. No disrespect, but i face zergs that play much much better then that and watching him knowing that im only a little lower then him, makes me sad as i feel i play better then that.

And i hope he doesnt stream as much all weekend as he did yesterday, as a parent myself i wouldnt be letting my 12 year old play for that long, bad parenting.

Im gonna keep watching though, and hope he improves alot

He is acually playing as good as your opponents, everything just looks so sloppy when you watch on stream. You are used to watch Code S quality and even Code S seems sloppy sometimes and a top master player will look like a platinum scrub on stream.

To all the haters: go set up your own stream and do it better yourself. If you dont want to, then simply leave this thread alone and go be negative somewhere else.

Pretty cool that this young guy is playing at such a high level, hopefully he will keep on practising an doesnt let the attention get to his head. Maybe he will become great some day.

I hope he doesn't make the same mistake i did when i was younger and swap to other game due to graphics and popularity among my friends :p Maybe if i would have kept playing SC:BW from age 8 to 20 i would would have been something! xD
