Anyone seen them on ladder recently? I wonder if they can still compete with top level diamond players these days. Ever since ~1month into beta, all interest in them disappeared.

i'm not 100% sure if it was the real one but during the 2nd phase of beta, someone was playing under the name Dayvie as random and he was doing pretty good so it was probably really him, no idea about CowGoMoo.

Blizzard said they had a lot of people playing on ladder. I guess they made new accounts after being "discovered"...

I played Dayvie a couple times on the ladder a few days ago. When I asked him if he was David Kim the internal tester he said he wasn't. He was really strong though, and a random user, so I think he was lying.

They were told to change names and were no longer allowed to participate in showmatches /tournaments (due to possible conflict of interest)

I'm fairly sure I saw David Kim being something like top 50 in the NA servers on that ladder rankings site.
I'm very good at making carriers.

david kim was in my division. he was around 650 or something, played random
and in the thread with the US ladder places on it you could see him in the top 25 or so

i managed to sneak a battle craft win off him once but lost in a horrid fashion in a 1v1 while he was laddering up

Seems weird to deny being the real David Kim (Dayvie) but still play under that name.

Yeah that's what I thought too. It's not like David Kim is a super famous badass, why would someone use his name?

You would be surprised what people have done, are doing and are willing to do for a little fame.
Or maybe someone just has the same nickname as he, could happen.

I'd easily believe the people stating that they were told to keep their identities low-profile. Can you imagine the blowback if someone like DavidKim was playing in a tourney or showmatch and lost to something, and then a week or two later a (coincidental) patch came out nerfing that certain "something"?

It's best to provide the perception of neutrality.

Well also that name isn't exactly super special and unique. I'm sure even without David Kim using it there would be several people with that psuedonymn on battlenet, purely through coincedence.

That guy played Pain User on his stream and he did a 1 base all in for like 12 minutes until he finally just gg and left.
