The Towel Terran

[BPAification]

Gumiho in the semifinals now! Towel Terran will suffocate you.

[darksnow4real]

his mouse is ashamed of playing terran, so it wants to hide...

[quebecsurfer]

mvp 4 - 1 ez

[animalolz]

I think this guy is GuMiho. Anyone can confirm?

[TAAFisHandsome]

@animalolz it is gumiho =)

[Monerasauce]

Was this ever explained? cuz I can't see any benefits to doing this...

[blackwidowAA]

@Monerasauce i think his hands are really sweaty...and you can lose grip of the mouse

[xNorzy]

i have icemats, and i'm almost POSITIVE he has his headset on the wrong way..

[lin2k4]

I dislike getting my mouse dirty but this is borderline obsessive

[kitaek27]

@lin2k4 He's in a net cafe. He's probably more worried about the mouse already being dirty.

[gr4ndhustle]

@kitaek27 this is at the gsl qualifiers so you could just take your own keyboard and mouse, this is just the way this guy likes to play his starcraft.. i'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with hygiene and if it does this guy needs a therapist.

[black1ns4n3]

*SPOILER*

Now In code S !!

[inZaNeSc2]

FXO_GuMiho?

[SC2Manerer]

it this yellow next to him?

[MairouTV]

@SC2Manerer He was playing terran so probably not.

[Assaultpredator]

Terran players who rely almost exclusively on stutter step are just annoying to watch.

[louviessu]

idk why you cant see the obvious, he uses towel instead of mouse pads smoothness to train his micro, so when he really uses mouse pad that unleashes his mouse click accuracy and control -______-

[warlockskz]

he didn't have to time to wipe off the love juice from his hands

[q8Pally]

Razer should sell those!

[2Limm]

I use to play sc2 like this cuz my roommate complained about the loud clicks of my M-G5 mouse, but it made my hand SUPER SWEATY afterwards.

[KadeshSa]

lol now I'm really interested in who this is

[Monerasauce]

makes me feel sad to play terran when I see people take these easy wins

[Trent5281]

At least he wont suffer from sweaty fingertips.Might try this myself ;)

[emptyeiganjo]

if you expand while killing someone with marines they deserve to lose

[megamanxtc]

What happens when you play someone sitting next to you o_O?

[jackdaknife]

IT AIN'T EZZZYYYYY, BEEIN CHEEESSSEY!

Well, actually it is.

[dadumbazz]

he's using drugs.. that's clearly Towely that tried to mask its identity by changing from blue to orange.

Story with a happy ending

[gundam02]

I do this too!! HYPERHYDROSIS FTW!!!!!

[ThisNameIsNotTaken99]

Holy spam, Batman!

[TaeradunStarcraft]

The only thing that made this so good was that after the win he wipes his hands clean to get the cheese off

[16Insaniak16]

@TaeradunStarcraft The only thing that made this so good was that after the win he wipes the tears of the zerg off his hands

[TaeradunStarcraft]

@16Insaniak16 haha ya that too

[bardakaz]

He has the towel because of the creep

[slurren]

I want to steal that towel, use my sewing powers to turn it into briefs, then sit and play naked with only the sweaty terran briefs on. I think I would improve my gameplay

[xturtlex]

just dont use your jerk off cleanup rag. could be bad.

[Jzoomer06]

towel terran is cheesy as shit

[AvanLotharion]

That's a lot of APM he's got there.

[Ragman205]

hahah Artosis ur such a creeper ;)

[Thynar]

@ballakobe24

I think its gumiho

[Nightmer916]

Your typical terran, they sure ARE skilled.

[fila365]

Skinny Sweaty Man!

[crossedanthrax]

Bet he couldn`t do that playing zerg.

[ballakobe24]

Who was this again? Artosis said who on SotG but I forgot :(

[korak1337]

dude Dan this Vid makes you seem like such a creeper

[Lortagreb]

@korak1337 He is a creeper.

[RxMontoya]

Thumbs up if you heard Guile's Theme playing when he grabbed the towel...

[cubeface21]

Wow he pressed the A button!

[Alexon88]

Thumbs up if you where directed here from Artosis from the MLG Livestream today

[DametDame]

Up and coming: NEW Razer gaming towels!

[xJDKx]

weird.

[Alexsteen]

Thumbs up if SOTG sent you here...

[bobbinsthethird]

Referenced in stream

[Vidimir]

Guys, the towel isn't under his mouse. It's over it. Skip to the end where the game ends and he picks the towel up.

[gr4ndhustle]

@Vidimir lol yeah idd.. i can't imagine why he would put it under the mouse anyway.. that wouldn't work for shit.

[xdennizzle]

lmfao



[Yoonjin90]

He knows how to 2 rax bunker rush into 5 rax?

Hes fucking good.

[DarenHD]

ohhhhhh its so he can wipe his sweat

[DiversityGod]

I'm guessing this is because he has palmar hyperhidrosis?

[Korealty]

@DiversityGod I actually looked this up and yes i believe so :P Certainly looks like it.

[udienowisay]

@DiversityGod you could just say he sweats alot lol

[syskorazo]

@DiversityGod um wtf is that? o well guess ill have to look it up

[TyrantTru]

its like hes jus clicking to click half the time to raise his APM...LoL

[jlguzmanz]

I think the towel its because of very sweety hands. And it has some ruber so it does not slide from the mouse

[Mikey32111]

Someone has probably already said this, but maybe his hands get really sweaty from the excitement . . . sweaty palms

[aznguy11111]

where's the shamwow protoss?

[AlexTirl]

That towel lost its passion years ago. :P

[sooooooooDark]

that cuts ur dpi by like half lol

[SilverPotatoXL]

The Hitchhicker's Guide to the Galaxy: Uses for a towel +1

[sk8rboy475]

lol always the 5rax

[sk8rboy475]

artosis. Always creeping



[dnslcfx]

it could be possible that he is suffering from a rare disorder called palmar hyperhidrosis (excessive hand sweating).

he probably needed the towel so that the mouse doesnt slip from his hand :o

[MichalPelc]

@dnslcfx in that case, wouldn't it be better to wear a hyflex (or similar) glove?

[dnslcfx]

@MichalPelc i think gloves would be a bad idea because it blocks ventilation making the hand feel uncomfortable and it will probably be soaking wet at the end of an average game.

[GhostDrow]

@dnslcfx Gloves would be a better idea than a tower, just get some gloves with good breathing, and a material that soaks up moister..like cotton. The towel could get caught under the mouse or something and mess up his game..imo.

[SuGaReeBoY]

That towel is ruining eSports!

[thelastcollective]

Is that Maka?

[pete275]

and he was bunker rushing that zerg on xel naga, I bet the towel is to wipe the grease from all that cheese

[paulowarren31]

@pete275 fucking zerg tears

[MrShotgunJake]

@pete275 2racks pressure is cheese now?

[pete275]

@MrShotgunJake "now"? it was always cheese, especially on that map, you can put a marine on that little hole where it's blocked by the bunker and you can't attack it with lings.

[TuringTroll]

@MrShotgunJake rofl, he transitioned into 5 rax all-in after his 2 rax bunker-rush. how DARE we call this cheese?! xD

[a3th3r]

@MrShotgunJake building 5 barracks on 1 base after a double bunker rush is pretty obviously cheese.

[Assaultpredator]

@pete275

rofl nice.

[EnsignN7]

I didn't know Ford Prefect played StarCraft 2

[PhoenixKDIX]

Impossible to beat. Terran mass rine is OP. NERF EVERYTHING

[jobytoss]

He's too fast for the mouse and the towel acts as a buffer.

[NakedPancake]

You guys may be laughing, but what you don't seem to realize is that he can jerk off and then just clean up with his mouse pad.... fuckin smart.

[MrMystline]

another nub terran cheesing his way into code a

[Yortman11]

towel=hard counter to everything.

[dimitriuss]

@Yortman11 show him how its done almighty youtube zergplayer. Go win gsl with ur amazing baneling nest play

[14virtues]

@dimitriuss You seem cranky... Did someone steal your towel?

[dimitriuss]

@14virtues you seem to have a bad judge of character as i am not cranky

[14virtues]

@dimitriuss Then you have a very passive aggressive sense of humor.

[jordcalifornia]

lol thats hilarious :D

[Rogerdof]

No baneling nest? What a dumb zerg..

[Yortman11]

Why doesnt he get banelings??

[eyeEX]

@Yortman11 Can't go banelings against a fuckin towel man

[provrorsbarn]

I dont get this video its just a Terran player.

[Paggee]

Some of us sweat a lot in the palms when playing. This is just the obvious response :) Don't think I could micro with a towel between the hand and the mouse, though.

[billysielu]

I get sweaty hands like that too, get through mice very quickly.

[ashanev]

I love when someone expands behind their cheese...very cute

[TheDanthok]

I personally would like to see more videos like this. I know it would be a lot of work but it would be awesome. Setup would consist of a camera looking down at keyboard and mouse movements and maybe a ticker bar across the bottom showing key strokes. Match up the camera footage and ticker bar with a replay of the match.

[bootysmack420]

borrowing monitors from wcg?

[DarkDrillago]

don't fuck with koreans

[dangolo]

when all you have to do is stim and 1A, a mouse doesn't even matter at that point.

/i'mjealouscausehe'sbetterthan­me

[big89nofrag]

pitoyable... joues à css c'est mieux

[nxsbrute]

say cheese ;P



[ragiin]

Microing like a bitch...lol

Feel sorry for the towel...

[ZoSoWizard]

Apparently that's Gumiho.....

[Brian626]

the problem with playing like a towel like this is the extra weight will probably injure your wrist in the long run. plus it probably messes with fine mouse movement/clicks

[Ovni121]

sweaty hands huh?

[Tosaith]

Fear of bacteria? Maybe because he never comes into contact with the outer world! Get's cold immediately as soon as a stranger looks at him or so. lol

Ok enough trolling! Is he rly trying to keep his mouse proper or is he sweating that much?

[Abominatorz]

Lol, USB towel

[apu1homer]

looks like he could...wipe up the competition

YEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Immow]

@apu1homer LOL your commend made my day :D

[DarenHD]

@apu1homer LMFAO ROFLROFL YOU'RE A CUTE LITTLE BABY

[xphre401]

@apu1homer you're doing it wrong

[guardianofnature1]

@apu1homer you forgot the *takes off glasses* :P

[orkinho1]

who said 2 rax?? I'm gonna make 5 xD

[EDude82]

rofl!!!

[aboody1111]

i like how he cleans his hand and mouse after the game lol

[myztic123]

@aboody1111 he doesn't need to

[Parrallel2005]

rule 42

[SenseiDonGraham]

he's a sweaty boi needs a towel!

[Sandermatt87]

A rather cheap all in played.

[jbacon61788]

@Sandermatt87 I wouldn't call it cheap or an all-in. Terran never cut SCVs, and his attack is easily defensible if scouted - he put his 2 rax right by the entrance. If you see that at the 2 minute mark, you'd better expect some heavy pressure and some bunker rushing. Zerg did a good job of deflecting the initial bunker rush, but failed to plant spine crawlers until it was too late. Ergo, he lost.

[Brian626]

@jbacon61788 the 2 rax wasn't necessarily all - in but the follow up (5-6 rax) was very much all in

[Sandermatt87]

@jbacon61788 Yeah, I do not say this should not be done. When I was playing starcraft I actually liked beeing cheased. I was just refering to the fact that his strategy required little skill to execute.

[bwag34]

hes plays as terran, he is a faggot

[bubba18sar]

He has to wear the towel because two rax is so dirty..

[delorber]

@bubba18sar 11/11 to racks to dirtiest of dirty.

[Pl0xRageGaming]

His hands probably sweat a lot lol.

[Karkani]

isn't his siberia "bacwards", the cord is supposed to come out of the left ear...

[hellopellos]

@Karkani sounds painful

[Mevius329]

its just the excessive sweating really...i feel bad for him

[HashbeanSC2]

i already have been doing this for months with a barely damp paper towel

[Th3z0r]

Towelie ? What the hell are you doing in Korea ?

[Zonde32]

@Th3z0r Its Towelies cusin Towely. instead of getting high all the time he is a computer geek

[GoatseObama]

What I would give to get a signed towel

[Mewi987]

that towel has 9000apm increases

[xMizuKun]

can sheth be the lap zerg ;o

[SpiritOfSneedling]

Marine good unit yo

[Fireballsc2]

He uses the towel to clean up his dirty hands after so much cheese

[0871Atta]

He looks like he's rocking it successfully enough.

[funlovin1155]

Zergs that hatch first on this map are greedy douche bags and deserve to get 2 raxed.

[tobyw87]

@funlovin1155 Haha too bad holding off a 2 rax as zerg is really easy provided your micro skills are better than your opponent. Ice Fisher build FTW!

[iljavija]

WTF? u guys saw HGTTG,it is said u always need to know where ur towel is,what if the Vogons attack u need it to defend urself

[irisx85]

The towel has multiples uses if you know what I mean ;]

[mitchumsport]

comfort blanket

[TWITCH772]

hostile sweat rag

[west5ive]

Cast a fucking game.

[ghensold]

Terrans that do this build can burn in hell.

- sincerely, a Zerg player

[Deekzlol]

@ghensold More like "Terrans that are better than me can burn in hell. - sincerely, a whinging bitch"

[TheFavorite95]

@Deekzlol more like terrans who do this can burn in hell.

sincerely - a zerg player better than you

[pyr0ma5ta]

Ford Prefect is smiling somewhere right now.

[00Noontide]

Lol, its pretty handy, at the end of the match he dries his hands with it.

[MadBagOfHorses]

1:10 is it just me or does it look like he has a bit of a tough time placing that depot against the minerals. He gets the wireframe out just fine (the keyboard buttons B-S) but then takes an abnormally long time to just move the MOUSE up a square.

Hmm, suppose he caught a fold in the towel. Weird stuff here Artosis.

[ForKa5T]

@MadBagOfHorses

Its called high mouse sensitivity. It has nothing to do with the towel.

[MadBagOfHorses]

@ForKa5T

No, no. The issue I pointed out is that it takes him very long to move a very small distance. High mouse sensitivity would allow him to make that movement much more quickly. The way the depot hangs in the spot 1 square from the minerals you can tell its because the mouse wasn't registering his movement - I'm certain this is because of the towel.

Same thing happens if you use a mouse on a piece of paper or a notebook, it doesn't register 100% of your movement.

[ForKa5T]

@MadBagOfHorses

But look at how quickly the depot moved at first. Super fast, then it stopped. Its more like he was trying to place it perfectly. Kinda like when you play with really high sen, you move very little to make those fine adjustments. The dude moved the depot 95% of the way; having to move it that extra 5% is what killed him lol.

[OmnaPub]

i must try this:D

[TheWargasmic]

lol. he's bunker rushing. great strat. *rolls eyes*

[shoes2shoes]

@TheWargasmic its one of the most storied and legendary builds, and takes true skill to execute perfectly

[TheWargasmic]

@shoes2shoes

true skill? a baby can do it.

[SteveoWOAH]

hes also wearing his headset backwards....

[dagis2]

And now his towel was like "you wanna get high?"

[Hvaharjeggjort]

@dagis2 high.. MASTERS! lololo
