I remember playing a few games with Super(Terran) long ago. I also played with Rekrul, FroZ!, An0n (nobody knew of this kid b/c he was only 14 and couldn't compete, but he was as good as/better than FroZ), Whear, and all those other skillful Americans that still weren't good enough to make it in Korea :P

I'm so far from knowing who the top guys are now though. But I do remember [Oops] and if lufter is a member then he definitely knows his shit, so I'll trust his word

The Airforce made a pro-gaming team so that pro gamers don't really have to leave the scene. It is known as Airforce ACE, Boxer is on it, as well as other old schoolers, like ChRh, HOT, Mumyung, fOru.

Guillaume "Grrrr..." Patry is really the only foreigner worth mentioning. Elky and [GG99]Slayer, too. Grrrr... is the only foreigner to win an OSL.

24/7? I probably could, but then my wife would leave me, I would get fired, and my kids wouldn't know me, but it would be fun lol
