Haha, whenever Starcraft (SC) is mentioned on these forums, people are like "oh wtf is that, you actually know what SC means? You play that nerdy strategy game? What a nerd" But the top 2 players on this chart are hardcore starcraft enthusiasts [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]Btw Ryan Daut was/is a starcraft enthusiast too [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Yes and since your evidence is such a strong link between the two games, I'm buying the game right now. I'm just kidding, but I hope you realize how dumb your statement was. It probably has more to do with the fact that these people have no problem sitting in front of a computer for hours on end and this transistioned over to online poker.

from the interview, by the way it's dated June 15th, 2004

So, let's leave StarCraft for a while, and get a bit more personal. So, turn out the lights, light a candle, cozy up readers, 'cause now we'll get to know the guy behind that Rekrul nick! Let's start with: What are your other interests other than StarCraft?


Right now my main (and only almost) interest outside of StarCraft is Poker. Of course I love playing basketball or football (american) whenever I can too, but Poker is my 2nd desire.


Yeah, how come a lot of StarCraft/WarCraft players get so devoted to Poker? Is it simply the fact that it's online, or can you see some other similarities?


Both games are very easy to learn the basics of, but impossibly hard to master, and this is what StarCraft players love. We love challenges. Both games need similar abilities too: you need great observation skills in both games, in order to properly adapt to the situation. You also need great situational analysis skills in both...once you see what is going on and what your opponent is doing you need to devise the best plan of action. And of course, both games are games in which you must play lots and lots and lots and lots of to have any chance of being good at. But I think starcraft players are lazy and a lot of them moved to online poker to make money in a way that let them remain lazy.

Though, playing live poker is much more skillfull and challenging in my opinion, and I like it a lot more than online poker. Though, the one good part of online poker is it is easy to make lots of money fast because you can be playing many tables at once.

Nobody with over 50k hands has a decent winrate, if you ask me that's the most interesting thing here.
