I know alot of w3 pro players who moved over to poker. Does anyone know who Tillerman is. He switched over very early, and no1 has heard alot from him.

i dont focus much on wc3 now but i was always orc and he was my favorite player. how much did he own you by? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] and what was your friend's name?

ps. GL in the future if you ever play again. most of these games have gotten extremely hardcore and it takes a lot of skill/patience or both, probably a lot like poker to know what you are doing.

Poker is way easier then pro gaming. Most of the pro gamers practice for about 8 hrs a day. ITs more fun then the grind but you dont make any monies!

Not professionally but the biggest hobbies in my life before poker were PC games.

I started playing online strategy games on MPlayer.com when I was 10 on my parents P133MHz PC and 28.8kb/s modem. MPlayer (now Gamespy.com) featured microphone support and everyone would tell me that I sounded like a little girl because I hadn't even hit puberty yet. I played Warsport and Total Annihilation on MPlayer back in 1996/1997.

I also whooped the [censored] out of Diablo II, Warcraft III RoC, and Shadowbane. Played alot with clan 'Intel' on WC3 USEast for anyone who liked RoC. I never got into TFT that much except for the custom maps. I played StarCraft back in the day with all my junior high friends in PC rooms a lot, too.

Man.... Those were the days.

I played Red Alert 2, Day of Defeat and NHL 2K5 on XBL. Was always a hobby, but I got into the top 10 or so worldwide on all 3 games at some point in time. Not exactly professional...
