IM CASTING CHILL VS COMBAT-EX EGO bo5 STARCRAFT MATCH AT 4PM PST. STAY TUNED FOR STREAM link.

SERIES OVER -- MORE WILL OCCUR IN THE FUTURE

why does anyone give a fuck?

allow me to explain the backstory.

Once upon a time there was a wee canadian lad by the name of Combat-EX (whom I shall refer to as combat for the remainder of this story). Our good friend Combat began doing a unique wonderful thing for the starcraft community: he posted on youtube hundreds of starcraft VODs of himself playing with voiceover commentary. Traditionally, there has been an wealth of advice to bring players from the D level to the C level (ie bring weaker players to the intermediate level), but not so much anything to bring a TOTAL newbie to the understandings of starcraft basics. I saw Combat's rise in popularity and thought to myself "he's doing an excellent job of creating a doorway through starcraft's vicious barrier to entry."

Until "THE SCREENSHOT" was posted

After the release of this image, many other similar images were posted, all with Combat ex begging for the win and/or OFFERING TO WINTRADE? Immediately, the starcraft community trounced combat with vicious flames and his accounts were banned from iccup.

Much of the community demanded an apology video, which Combat ex provided. Unfortunately, it was one of the least genuine sounding apology videos of all time, so teamliquid raged still.

AND THEN COMES EPIC MOTHERFUCKING LEGENDARY EGO MATCH.

Chill, the strategy forum moderator for teamliquid, challenged COMBAT TO A BEST OF 5. This best of 5 will be cast in about ~1 hour (4pm) by Day[9] aka MOI aka yours truly.

FUCK i can't wait. maybe this should be moved from my blog section to the general section so that further hundreds of people can check out the livestream (link will be up soon). FUCK YEAH BABY!

If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.

genjix u know the answer to that moron. doing them both is disgraceful anyways so if you did that you would be looked down upon just the same. i used to play with chill a long time ago when i was in ns-g. clan assuming that it is the same chill, he was pretty good. never heard of combat.
