I know the backgrounds to most western players. But can somoene give me the history of the great chinese players, like Tim, Duck, geofrey, Ms Xue, x2..etc?
wow u know no less than me , 11 Tim is known to chinese since 2008 RiSheng cup ! he playing in CyZ earlier ,then go to NEL , finally CSC, (when it comes to CSC ,their is one GREAT persion who i need to emphasize , CSC-qin sword ,he is the founder of CSC "CLUB" , he change the old Clan style into Club in china ,and make contract with the most famous players from all over the china to make then together,and inside the club are many entertainment activties,they go to travel and play together sometimes etc..) then he took on the road to no1 in china ,there are tons of good palyers in china apart from those u mentioned abow, there are also Windy ,Feeling, FJ-if , CNA -hs ,FJ-chou ,CNA-Hanyu ,and many chinese players i don't know therir English nickYou must have Duck confused with somebody else 11. Everything else looks okay.
I've always followed the Chinese players since I started aoc. I'll list some of my favourites from when I first started watching recs who aren't very known these days
_Cath_ICBK_ - This guy was a legit 2200 player with random civs. I can't remember many Chinese clans from those days. Maybe CNA and CTC were already around.
_Cath_Joe - I really loved the way he played. He didn't overwhelm players with his micro or eco control or any of those things. He just knew where and when to have his army and rarely made mistakes.
AK47 - He was mostly famous for his Mongol rush. I can't remember exactly how it went, but he upped with a low pop (maybe about 20, this is when everybody went 24 or 25 pop) and rushed with M@A and towers. It was incredibly fun to watch. I've never seen anybody else make that style exciting.
_VG_9257 (that's probably not his real nick, I don't remember the numbers) - He was a solid 2100 player, except he used mostly Japanese. He was also very fun to watch.
_MyST_Playboy - For some reason he doesn't get as much attention as IORI and BT4, but he was a very good third player for MyST. His micro was just as good, if not better than IORI. He just didn't have the eco control.
CNA_Blackbear - As far as I can remember, he was the first Chinese player who English speaking people thought was a top player, even though at the time I doubt he was even top 5 or 10 among the Chinese. Still, he was a very good player, especially from Castle age onwards.
I'd like to read some history of Tim. I left aoc for maybe a year or two when the zone died, and I came back and he was some new 2500 guy who I'd never heard of.
Speaking of SWJ, who was _SWJ_Tinybirds? Saw him playing in a few WCL games and his nick was 2k with 0 losses. Also, if I remember right, wasn't _CZJ_quezi__ a really top chinese player back in like 2002? I'm sure he had 2300 in early AoC which was pretty rare.well,Tim is very old player too.old nick _SWJ_xiaofeng ,but that time ,SWJ is great clan in china.Tim have no chance to show his power.1V1 they have _SWJ_0046, _SWJ_PY etc.Tg they got Windy and his old two partner,they play together very long time. Tim was just 2k. and he started play 1v1 From gamepark. a alot of 1v1 games.got 21+i guess.(i cant remeber more,ducky was 22+in gamepark.) other part i am agree with u.
BTW: CGA_HANYU not CNA_hanyu ,aka L_CLAN apple
