I prefer to read that as "All Swede pros have great streams" :P

I didn't care for pro gaming til SC2 came along. I was going to troll and be like "what's world cup 3?" or something but decided against it :P

I've been watching streams without sound at work so I've no idea if they talk while playing or not.

Final note on SaSe's stream: surprisingly few add breaks, if any.

How rude, lol

CombatEx would be on the top of my favorite players list

Hate all you want, the guy has some serious talent and he is hugely entertaining. I like how he mixes up his games cheesing a good 50% so opponents never know what style they are going to be playing against causing them to play very safe and not able to cut corners.
Being the BM master, he still has the utmost respect for other higher skilled players which sets him apart from other BM players like deezer etc.
huge props to CombatEz

Well considering I dislike Destiny because he is bm... this guy? Not a chance. I listened to his stream for about a minute and he starts screaming at his opponents. He is what is wrong with esports and the internet in general.

ROFL who was that guy? He's the best troll around, he even outclasses that Greg guy.

CluEleSs!? · 09-09-2011 10:21PM

Favourite:
Protoss - Tyler (so mechanically solid, and generally talented. UL in tourneys imo)
Terran - Puma/MMA (So sick to watch. I love NaDa too though :< )
Zerg - IdrA (FPVods/stream of him are sick to watch, he also doesn't try and crawl back into stupid games. Ladder players need to learn GG timing off him dammit!)

Least favourite:
Protoss - InControL or Desrow (both fat, mouthy & **** at sc)
Terran - Maybe GoOdy? he's just dull. There's no Terran player I really hate!
Zerg - July. Imo overrated.

I also noticed all my least favourites are fat hahaha. Ah well =p

I totally forgot Dragon from my list! I love that guy :'D best stream on TL!

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 09-09-2011 10:56PM

combatex or deezer was stream sniping and stream watching dragon one day, and when dragon beat him he got out of his chair and did a roundhouse kick

Orizio · 12-09-2011 12:03AM

My favourite Dragon moment is when someone writes 'DOKDO IS JAPANESE LAND' in chat. Dragon reads it, then slowly looks up, eyes and mouth wide open in mock consternation before shouting 'YOU BAN', pointing sharply at his viewers. The troll is then banned and Dragon proceeds to giggle away to himself in delight. :pac:

Also, when he writes 'I chobo english' in chat when people are trying to explain something to him.

Some bias but my favourite is EG Demuslim. Old friend of mine back through Warcraft 3 and unfortunately always sat in the shadow of the likes of ToD and Grubby with 4kings,

The only gamer that actually made an effort with site journalists ( unbelievable bad manners from most, even though all under the same banner)

Thrilled to see hes doing so well and enjoy watching his stream

In terms of dislike, not too hot on Idra. I can't stand bad manner sin games, and I remember writing an article years ago about how e-sports will never progress without the players being more mature, camera friendly, articulate and mannerly.

Unfortunately Idra represents everything I feel hinders e-sports, so I cant ever root for him, unfortunate considering his talent.

But watching his stream, looking at his fans type you can see the sort of attitude he promotes.

Lafortezza · 12-09-2011 09:25PM

Agree about DeMuslim, his stream is great for Terran players as he talks alot about his builds and explains his play.
Pretty funny too, his stream watchers were getting him to say "Crikey!" and "Cockles" and stuff.

Nuxy · 13-09-2011 12:44PM

My favorite players are probly SlayerS_Dragon and dSelEcT, two amazing terran players..

Oh an demuslim is a boss to

I don't watch alot of SC2 but I like to watch some of my favourite pro gamers from older games when they stream/have a big match.

From WC3: Grubby, ToD, Demu, Moon, Lyn, Sase, Stephano

BW: Boxer, Nony, Ret, July, wannabecool

DoW: Select

Ivan itchykok · 19-09-2011 03:16PM

My fav would probably be incontrol maybe not for his style of play but for his personality and zest for the game . He hasn't been doing well lately tho and
Im not so sure he has the talent to recreate his earlier successes . Also have a liking for demuslim and duckload.

Least fav like many is idra for his bm but also his arrogance. Whenever he is on state of the game it's like he owns the place and his word is gospel. Another special mention goes to combatX , Christ that guy just never stops ranting/smack talking. Also I suppose you could add the stream cheating too.
