Several of the best Warcraft II players are now poker pros as well, myself included. Here are a few I can think of off the top of my head :

Tillerman
INcinerate
Yah'mon
Nedrology
Ywfn.

It is obviously not a coincidence. Anyone with a background in strategy games has a great foundation for poker. There's no way I would be where I am today without that training ground.

I used to play a lot on Kali back in the mid-90's. Are YWfn and INcinerate's SN's public?

Never heard of Nedrology or Yah'mon.

css correction, I talked about the similarities between poker and cs and other strat/action games. But I'm top 5% in strike and maybe top 20%in the poker world, Just moving the mouse and making quick decisions with a variety of options will help in any other endeavor. The challenge is what does it to me for poker, all my cs time now goes to poker. It's the live competition and the "do not pass go and collect $200 dollars" that poker is with playing with straight cash.

I've been on a sng binge just because it's more exciting, I came back to full ring and played great.

ANyways, poker + computer games = evolution

what CSS teams did/do you play for and whats your alias?

RainKhan is another example. AKA the guy who PStars claimed was a bot for playing 20+ SnGs at once on a single laptop monitor.

Screw StarCraft though, it's all about former Street Fighter players taking over.

four fierce guile combo for the unexploitable. lol i actually bought an SF2 (hyper fighting) arcade machine for my basement. you do know being a street fighter player dates us, right?

very interesting topic here. do teenagers these days even play video games anymore as opposed to playing online poker?

[Viscant]

Not really many teenagers around anymore. Every year we have tournaments and gatherings and it's pretty much the same group of people as before, not nearly as many new people as there used to be.

Street Fighter just doesn't play well online. Even a little bit of lag ruins the game, so kids these days just play other types of games.

I was a HUGE Starcraft addict and when I wasn't playing SC, I was a HUGE magic the gathering addict. I think Dario Minieri and Action Jeff both played competitive magic before poker.

Now, I just play poker and SC on the side when I'm bored. Haven't touched MTG in a while.

1. Tillerman is the only good person on that list. Everyone else sucks and half of them are wc2 people i think or nobodies, including incin. is only half decent and all the pros think he sucks. Who the hell are you? You suck at wc3 and poker.
