Elky was a precursor but not the best french RTS players ever. RTS is not only War3, SC1, SC2 ^^ Tod is just famous, they are lot of good players in other RTS Ao2, Ao3, Supreme Commander, Dawn Of war. But well done ToD! well the thing about those games is that nobody cares :X
Nobody cares, hahaha, how old are you? you might be very young. Its good to cheer for blizzard.
But Thanks to Dune, Command & Conquer and war1 to have popularize RTS games.
Tod and maybe Elky are the most famous french progammer that's all. They only played blizzard games(and poker :D ) I was only meaning, its too restrictive to say that the best player is/was Tod. Lan and RTS tournament are older than 2000 and those WCG. Plus its not because the RTS game is not include in WCG, that its not famous.

For your information : The other tournament is a qualification for ESWC : 1st: Ilyes "Stephano" Satouri - 2 500 € + Slot ESWC World 2nd : Bruno "KenZy" Wafo-Tapa - 1 200 € + Slot ESWC World 3th : Aurélien "AureS" Sannier - 600 € + Slot ESWC World
In the same time, we have a second tournament with HasuObs and Naama : 1st : Ilyes "Stephano" Satouri - 1 500 € + Laptop Gamer Medion X6811 (MD 97652 – 1 399 €) 2nd : Santeri "Naama" Lahtinen - 700 € + Desktop Gamer Medion X5701 D (MD7686 – 1 049 €) 3th : Aurélien "AureS" Sannier - 300 € + Screen full HD 23.6’’ (59.9 cm) Medion P55005 (MD 20120 – 199 €) 4th : Bruno "KenZy" Wafo-Tapa Top 6 : Leif "neX" Boutin Top 6 : Christophe "Eeel" Boucardey Top 8 : Emmanuel "MoMaN" Marquez Top 8 : Eddy "effecto" Tritten Top 12 : Dennis "HasuObs" Schneider Top 12 : Antonin "FremAN" Nosenzo Top 12 : Pierre "Qwerty" Bousquet Top 12 : Soey
So Stephano win 4000€ + 1400€ (Laptop) in one week end, amazing. Big deception for HasuObs

Haha Stephano well done !

HasuObs lose vs AureS (2 1) then KenZy (1 0) the two other player who are qualified for the ESWC.

Sick prize winning for stephano, it's a bit underwhelming that we basically haven't heard of those tournaments at all :s .
|
Now the big question is what team will pick ToD ?
Even if the most obvious guess would be him going back to Millenium, but I would like him to join a team with a gaming house, EG maybe, to fully train his potential.
