playing for a WSOP bracelet and $375,000 usd

Real Name: Robbie Verspui
Akas: Strafe
Occupation: Retired poker player
Date Of Birth: 27-10-85
City/Country: Bangkok/Thailand
Hobbies: SC2, the rest is not important
SC2 Goals: Play GSL and qualify for code A
Clan/Team: None
Life and Career Goals: Become active in the Esports world and sustain myself financially doing so

Notable SC2/Gaming Achievements: ESTC 3d place. It's actually one of the tournaments I've participated in. I am usually too forgetful to play online tournaments. But in the future I definitely plan on playing a lot more. I only started playing end of March and then I had a 2.5 month hiatus where I went to Vegas to play the WSOP. But now I want to focus completely on SC2, so you can expect me to enter more tournaments from now on.
Featured Online Vods: Not that I know off, lol.
Favourite Strategy: I have a few, but my favorite is fast expansion vs zerg into a 2 base timing push. I just love how long games develop around this or kill them straight up.
Favourite Babe: Maria Sharapova
Favourite Food: Whale Bacon
Favourite Drink: Red wine
Favourite Movie: Starship Troopers
Favourite Song: Bubble pop

Players Respected: TLO, he isn't the best of all players, but somehow draws large crowds by marketing himself and maintaining an entertaining play style. MVP for simply performing so well throughout the short life of SC2.
Arch-Nemisis: Considering I haven't played on too many tournaments I wouldn't say I have one. I have beaten everyone on the SEA server a few times except for Jazbass, so he is as close as it gets.
Best Starcraft 2 player in SEA?: Moonglade. Simply because he has the best performances thusfar, but I think this can change quickly. There are some other very talented players like YoonYJ, Jazbass, Revz, etcetera who can take this place when they start getting some results.
Best under rated Starcraft 2 player in SEA?: Might be me. Since I've not participated in any events it's hard to expect anything good from me without results. Although I'm fairly confident I CAN compete with the top at SEA. I've heard countless of times what an upset it is that I beat enderrr at the ESTC in Bangkok and what a major upset. Whereas I actually thought that I had a 50/50 match against him or better. My TVZ can be very strong when I play well. Coming from a brood war background where I was playing a lot of events under pressure and live and also being in my own city, Bangkok, I think I had the advantage here.
Best Starcraft 2 player in the world of all time?: Must be MVP. Some might say Nestea, but he plays the wrong race.

Third place at estc

That's what happened with our good old Bertrand "Elky" Grospellier.

Fun fact, Elky set the Guinness World Record for most Single Table Sit & Goes played in one hour for a total of 62.

This guy's a beast at playing this game :P my chance at ESL ruined the moment I saw that my first opponent is strafe! He went on to win the championship

I think I'm like 1-10 vs strafe ATM plays a really strong mech build vs my ling/infestor crushing it like, every time. If it wasn't for him my vT winrate would be up to like 80% plus. Really really good player.
