THE LIST PART FOUR

In the last few days I realized how much action I missed while I was on my holiday. I am going to wait until I find out more about these popular troll dischackers so I can make a good and valid post in my fashion.
Until then I decided to do the fourth part of my big list which is getting closer and closer to the end which makes me super happy mostly because some folks who are asking me everyday when I am going to post the next part will get the objects of their desire. Enjoy!


Before I start with these legendary names I want to share something with you. I had this problem when I was deciding which name will open this part. As you know, each part was opened with some heavy weight champion who was the best in his own time. After thinking I decided to give the hammer to the player who is being the best for the past 5 years.

Tobi is an Undead player from Sweden. He is been dear friend of mine for the past 7 years. In his, now long and rich, ROC career he accomplished everything that one player is able to accomplish. Being rank 1 on numerous accounts, setting modern META games for each race on each map, beating great players with funny strategies and winning all possible tournaments and leagues in team with the best players who all have great respect toward him or individually. Since the end of 2005 he has been the leading role of our community, playing one of the two least popular races and bringing the Madfrog spirit back in the business. This continuation through years, a character that always reminded me of HATE-LOVE-ANGER and the emotion that community has toward him made me open this fourth part of my list with him. Players like him are the reason that we still can play and enjoy this beautiful game. He is also creator of the now very popular tournament map Rift Valley and teammate of Miss57, RapiNG's little sister.

EYEOFTHEDRUID
Vincent is an Orc player from Holland. He was one of the best Orcs during the golden era who had really an unique style of playing. Tower creeping, then upgrading base to Tier 3 only to get Tier 1 unit - Headhunter, backed up with load of mastered Casters. All of that combined with 3 well crept heroes represented army that was able to beat anything. With these strategies he climbed to rank 1 several times being of the the players who were holding level 54. After hitting these sick levels he focused on gathering the best players of that time under one roof creating legendary clans. The most remembered one was clan LiQd where he was the chieftain and shamans were names like HLA, Ojune, Ruslan, Yogg and me. Creation of these clans during 2005 will give other figures chance to connect the best players and involve more players in community discussions on Replayers and other websites.

REIGNOFDARK
During that 2005, or was it 2004, can't really remember, there was a guy Pr0)gamer or something very similar who was very dear friend of all high level ladder players including myself. We used to hang out in channels and play AT when we weren't playing Solo. After few months he told us that his little brother, who was barely 13 at that time, is playing ROC as well. Group of us were laughing at the age of this little gamer but when he started to play solo and make level 45 with 200/40 Solo stats we were astonished. This amazing kid was ReignOfDark, legendary Night elf player from Germany who changed the META game of NE, adding Dryad to his unit combo. Yea, you can't feel good about him now but you have to give him credit because that was the era of the talons and archers. Later, Reign will become the best mate with HLA and will join TFT organization - Raptor gaming where he will have some success.

RAPING
I call him Tito and I also call him - Boy from the bracket. . He is from France, his main race is Night elf even tho he is actively playing Random for the past year or so. If you asked me if RapiNG will be in this list year ago I would probably tell you that chances for that to happen are very low. However, Tito became a tournament beast and that is why I decided to give him such nickname. For the past year he won more than 50 tournament titles in tournaments and he is by far the most successful player of this format. He holds the title record in W3CUP, nS tournaments and trollarena tournaments. Winning the first season of Lone Wolf just proves that he painted last year with his colors.

YOGG
Roger is an Orc player from Holland. During the 1.14 era he connected with some decent players and build up his account by playing AT games with them in the way that wannabes were playing it in the old AMM system. Since there was not abusing like now so you are able to meet newbies and other abusers and by that to build up your account there was a way to play 1 or maximum 2 games with different allies and by doing this to always meet the lowest players which meant 0 risk of losing. That is how he built an amazing account which was very important at that time to show off in KeKo. However, he was never amazing player. After clan LiQd got disbanned because each strong figure wanted to have his own clan, Yogg created clan GGx and became an admin on Replayers. The bright side of his admin career were several showmatches, KOTH (King of the hill) competitions, first ROC clan league and active battle.net channel. The dark side were ignorant behavior toward the community, lack of site activity, controversy between admins and other websites at that time www.w3roc.com which all led to Replayers getting closed for several months. This almost killed the community which was already chopped and have put Yogg and his fellow admin mates Jammeh and other in oblivion and eternal inactivity. Still, this great ex-friend of mine did have one of the big roles in creating the ROC moral and the standards of behaving and functioning in the community.

BIGS
Also known by his first name - Han or his most notable account of the past years - Jawohl-, biGs is Swiss player with Asian origins. His main race was Orc with which he climbed to the top 20 of TFT once but ROC community remembers him as a Human player even tho he didn't have more than 500 human games in his gaming career. Such opinion that community created of him was idealized and inspired by his best mate behavior on the website he used to lead as an administrator - Yogg. Every time Han would participate an event that he created Yogg would announce him as a 5 hand and 6 eyed beast who play Warcraft 3, Football and Paintball at the same time. Future generations of players will, because of this, talk about Han as a myth without being in the center of the action to witness his real capabilities and skill level. On his account Lt]biGs that he played ROC Solo ladder in 2005 he had stats 70/5 and lost 3 games versus me, flamed in the way that nobody believed that he has such temper. Ever since we haven't met in ladder nor played in any league, showmatch or competition. Even tho he wasn't very lucky versus me he used to beat all great players and had success in TFT as well. Even I don't consider him to be what the biggest part of community believes - a great Human player, mostly because he played Rifle-Caster in a boring and standard way with 0 improvisation, I can't deny the fact that he was one of the most sharp Orc players. Now he is successfully playing SC2.

  4. Saying that he is 'successfully playing SC2' is an understatement. He's extremely good at SC2 and by far the best player RoC has transfered to the new scene. More on that would be nice in order to prove just how good he is.

  5. People like FATJESUS are who you speak of in this article, the ones that are quite clueless skill and capabilities, especially on a higher level.

    On the other hand, I do believe he was an over rated human player, but still among the greatest of them all.

    To this: "was idealized and inspired by his best mate behavior," I must add that you do the very same to many of the players on the list you have created... There are so many mediocre players and worse on here that have had no influence on RoC.

  6. Han retired from sc2 scene, at least he will no longer play it competitively.
