I haven't posted here, but i've been a loyal reader of liquid poker and tl.net... I played under the SN ShamanOfDeath, on Fulltilt, and AyeR on B.Net west and on wgtour. if you remember shamanofdeath,then you most likely played starcraft... he was a terran player from bulgaria, he was a good friend of mine as well, and i don't think he would mind me using the SN, since it was in memory of starcraft/terran days. I've always kept up with poker news, and always enjoy reading stuff from people I use to associate with, or players that I kinda knew. Like Daut, who was z7-BigBalls, Rekrul, Marshall, Fayth, Elky, Baal, Strato,Id.Twisted etc etc ....
I spent a large portion of my night yesterday reading. As I was reading I read an article by Marshall28... It never occured to me that it was BCI)Marshall a now a successful poker player(didn't occur to me until I read that it was written by a guy named peter), and was teaching for card runners. I remembered peters name because, the very first time I met starcraft players in real life, was in Pacific Beach (san diego). It was @ a pc cafe, that Proct, Merge and Marshall would play it. As I walked in, Proct was sitting in the front, chilling playing some SC. He said whats up, nice guy, and said that's bci)marshall over their go say hi. so i went over and saw marshall, he was actually playing a game vs rekrul. His apm was ridiculously high, and since i didn't really know how to use hotkeys well, if you've ever seen marshall play IRL, i was really suprised and humbled to see it. I still remember the game and everything, marshall was at 6 rekrul at 12, pvp marshall was expoing to his natural, and rekrul dropped a double reaver. Anyway it was cool as fuck watching them play and I thought both of them were cool people. Sure i'd hear people talk shit about them, but who didn't talk shit in starcraft, it was part of the fun. Rekrul was always very full of himself, and so was marshall but a lot of people are. It might be one of the reasons why he was successful at the time in starcraft, players need to be confident of their ability, he was also very creative and a had a great sense of humor. This egotist type of confidence transitioned well for many starcraft players, somehow some starcraft players who really sucked, were really good poker players.
Anyway, i just wanted to say whats up, i don't play poker professionally, I am trolley operator here in San Diego, I noticed their are a lot people from SD here, if you guys ever have a home game where the buy in isn't ridiculously high, i'd like to play with you guys, would like to play .50/1 if u guys do that. I don't get too many days off from my work, but if you'd like to invite a friendly fish over, i'm down.

I remember that SN from bw. It's been a while since the long lost days of wgtour have been brought up. For many of us here, I'm sure the early to mid 2000's would be considered the best of times regarding gaming. Welcome |

Welcome to LP~
Don't forget to follow the weekly MMA threads in the General forum.
----------
I also remember the Shaman account from sc1.
@ Shenny, while WGTour was one of the best, it wasn't the best. Before WGTour, we had the original Gamei server, which was where all of the best Koreans played at, even all of the professionals, and foreigners had to either get Korean social security numbers from Korean kids by befriending them on bnet, or using a SSN creator, which was the easiest way. (Don't get Gamei confused with Game-i, which was a later recreation by Ukrainians I think, which was while WGTour was already running.)
WGTour was awesome though, and had plenty of pro players who smurfed on various accounts, and part of the fun was figuring out who they were. |

hi.
lol i don't remember that game ... i dont really remember any particular game since i havent played in about 6 years, but if he had reavers in my base i assume i lost ?
merge is now a resident DJ @ club voyeur downtown.
proct ... i think he fell off... havent heard from him in a long time. i heard that he got kicked out of a benijanas though for throwing stuff at sabrina the teenage witch.
rekrul ... i guess he plays live poker @ commerce.
i just live in pb and play online. |

Cool story bro but plz don't feed Marshall's already over inflated ego plz ... I bet he wet his pants reading your stuff although the peak of stress when you said Rekrul dropped reavers in his base ... |
