As everyone may have recently seen the news about viOLet joining team Empire, we decided what better time to commemorate his outstanding performance in the Playhem Daily where he currently holds the throne with the most first place wins of any player.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0JqNS6hOGQ&feature=player_embedded


So here's a little something to thank all of the players and viewers who have made the last 129 dailies possible, the start of our new series "Playhem Spotlight" where we'll showcase outstanding talent from our daily tournaments and offer you their replays to learn from and enjoy.

Here are a few statistics on what's inside:
-Nearly 200 viOLet replays, mostly against masters and grand masters players
-An unbelievable 79% win rate (149-39-0)
-Over 35 game-hours worth of high level Zerg play
-Matches with names such as IMHorror, Attero, oGsillusion, RGNartist, Saladin, VTavilo, GoSuDDE, oGsjookTo, coLgoswser, TSL_Revival, ST_RainBOw, coLCatZ and many more

Enjoy, and if you want to support what we're doing or have your own chance to play against viOLet please check out our Playhem Daily thread or our Stream Thread.

Download!

viOLet also streams regularly at the CSN Training Camp where you can catch him live as well as donate to help support him and get some awesome swag.

CSN Training Camp is a program that enable teamless Starcraft 2 players to train for events by providing hardware, meals, boarding, and a place to practice. Selected players must demonstrate self-motivation, marketable skill, and an acute need. viOLet, the current CSN trainee, represents an impressive degree of talent. In his time at the Training Camp, he has achieved #1 Rank Grandmaster on both the NA and EU servers, won more than 15 on-line tournaments, taken his skills on an impressive run through the MLG Providence open bracket dropping only 5 games total. With the further support of his fans and CSN, we believe viOLet can achieve even greater results. Ultimately, the goal of the CSN Training Camp is to maintain and showcase viOLet's talent in order to find a permanent team for this passionate, talented player.

One such as viOLet does not rise. He destroys his enemies and gains power.

Oh gosh, the amount of times I've had to play viOlet in playhem/ladder.. He's quite the frightening player. I remember this one instance where I rushed 3 reapers and killed his hatchery and thought I was extremely ahead. All of a sudden I see 7 roaches at my main xD

Props to viOlet, he's really talented and deserves more attention (:

All of the replays that are in the replay pack are already availible to the public. All playhem has done is made them slightly easier to get. However CSN contacted us(playhem) and we clarified that they were all public replays and that we were just promoting vilolet and they were cool with it.

As Zoia said, they were public replays (all games in our tournament can be downloaded off the bracket) and many of them were cast on our stream as well. This pack is sort of a collection of viOLet's accomplishments and growth throughout our tournament spanning almost 4 months, and we wanted to share it with everyone else who may not have had a chance to see what a great player he is.

The funniest thing: he has like a 80% win rate on ladder atm and like 50 other scrub players with ~ 50% or worse win ratio, and like 1/10th of the games got into GM, yet he has not. Huh?
