Saw his replays. Great Bloodmage abuser and puts AKM to shame.

I'll prefer even Kei than Rohjinwook aka Michael. Michael can show a great game but ip happens too rarely imo

it* , sry

Yes, yes and yes, one of the few players worth a watch these days. His style is cool, i couldn't care less if his winrate isnt high. Some of his last cool replays :

awesome zep/shredder harass + funny wand of illusion trick : http://w3g.replays.net/doc/cn/2009-10-29/12567872195697563824.html

perfect use of siphon mana : http://w3g.replays.net/doc/cn/2009-10-29/12567872027572565262.html

but this one is truely the best : http://w3g.replays.net/doc/cn/2009-10-1/12543929082343811743.html

when warden becomes useless : http://w3g.replays.net/doc/cn/2009-10-20/12560717310730044555.html

zep micro won him the game : http://w3g.replays.net/doc/cn/2009-10-20/12560350542448774772.html

Definitely one of the most entertaining humans right now. If he had the same skills to match TH000 he'd be world class.

there obviously are many ways that lead to rome, what take a way longer direction? for example am/blm on ts vs orc. hu is fine there vs orc anyway, to be more successful in the longrun, he needs to perfect some cookies and have those strange strats saved for special opportunities. he is really entertaining to watch, but some strats seem unlogic to me. bloodmage might be ok and surprise some, but it gets so easy countered on tier2 by any race... he uses those strats on good human maps vs weaker opponents, when he easily could win with mk or am also. in my oppinion he should work on hard human maps. tm vs orc needs something to be done, a map that relies on a 25% tome chance cant be profitable for human players...

I really like to see games where he plays with bloodmage, siphon mana and banish can be so useful in certain situations ( I sometimes try it myself in bnet and its really nice combo with mk),
but somehow against top player Rohjin often makes stupid mistakes and loses clearly :/

The man in action :P

RJW is pure fun ^^ but he's also specialised in fatal (and often hilarious) mistakes. Like losing a hero with invul+TP, losing his zep over trees, giving a TP to his second hero too late and losing the hero and the TP...
But there's no denying that he pulls off awesome stuff and has great ideas (stopping harvesting gold on EI when breaking the 50-pop limit with mass-air is actually brilliant)
But I think he joined SK too quickly, he needs some time to improve his decision making, which is harder when you improvise something new every game...

Th000, RohjinWook and the new guy OverTheZero. That's all the skill we need

that bm-surround is classy :D
blm first vs orc, especially bm works since bm has no offensive spells, so on tier1 bm gets useless due to banish and constant lack of mana for ww.

yes bm gets useless

damn... now you intrigue me. gonna watch them right now :D

btw how do you guys know his name and keep refering him to "michael"?

I only know that he is Lucifer's younger brother

sorry for double posting. But I think strat > micro in terms of talent. You can improve micro by practicing over time, but having the guts to try new strats in important matches is a whole different matter

Cuz Michael is his nickname or ex-nickname. He just recently start to play as RohJinWook

michael was his nick, but he gave up that name after his brother retired because it wouldnt make sense anymore. lucifer, ud, satan, fallen angel. michael, human, archangel.

blizzard harass vs demuslim : http://www.wcreplays.com/replay.php?m=View&rid=16798

Wow he raped Lucfron pretty bad with bloodmage lol

Check 2nd game vs check today (on tr) really nice game!

Dude the top 4 replays at replays.net are rohjin's. He definitely improved and he is one of my favs now

i wonder .. isnt he AKM ? style is pretty the same

I wonder... I really do. Not about RJW and AKM, but... I wonder...

Sorry, but i genuinely LOL'd irl when i read the thing about AKM - aka the only guy in the world with worse APM than me.

Yes, AKM moved to Korea, changed his name to Roh Jin Wook and got adopted by Lucifer's parent

apm is not that issue --, its about style
i dont even know if he is still playing (AKM), its too long i heard something about him, and the rumors was saying that AKM was fake of some (semi)pro (and AKM identity was never revealed, or did i miss something?)

you missed that AKM was some average azeroth player with a unique style that never made it big, while RJW is Lucifer's little brother who made it big and then made his own unique style.

i didnt missed it, for me its possible, AKM stopped playing (???) when nobody knowed about lucifers bro, there is few years gap and then is RJW apearing
sure, there is a huge skill level between AKM and RJW in micro, but everyone can improve and made it to that lvl, he got time & good tutor :)
i dont state this as fact, but as a certain possibility

So, according to your assumptions, RJW is living a double life considering AKM is still semi-active and posts a new replay every once in a while

http://akm.zergs.com/fourm/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=1fourm/phpBB2/viewforum.php

only a idiot could read that from my posts .. try again, certainly this
"i dont even know if he is still playing (AKM), its too long i heard something about him" or "AKM stopped playing (???)"
note: that (???) mean i am really not SURE about it
but thx about the link, well RJW is not AKM afterwards

"i wonder .. isnt he AKM ? style is pretty the same"

Yeah, only an idiot would not come to that conclusion.

What's wrong with you man?
"i dont state this as fact, but as a certain possibility"
By saying this, you indicate that there's a chance of you believing in the possibility, AKA an assumption. Now read my post again. And btw, it was mostly ironical anyway, but I should've known that you dont get most of that.

first of all, it was only a question, but nobody of you could bring some arguments like, in the end, LL did (that link was enought)
second, your stupidness doesnt know own limits --, so dont post your pseudoarguments, ideas or w/e you want to tipe, go and sit at corner in your room, look at your shadow and talk to yourself (or doctor, that would be better option, even when it wont cure idiotic attitude of yours)

sure it was a certain possibility, if the fact i knowed was right, thats why i asked at the beggining if he could be AKM and waited for some info, like your link

Now, now. No need to get mad. I gave you arguments. Don't blame your obvious lack of common sense on me. The idea of AKM being RJW is as absurd as you questioning my intelligence.
How often do you want to do that anyway, in your broken English, with all facts against you? Didn't turn out that well the first few times you tried, but you keep on trying and failing. Definition of a moron.

my bad english is one thing, another are stupid nonlogical pseudoarguments of yours, it just doesnt mean, that if i cant react well (because language barrier), that you are right, so .!. idiot

the language issue is not about what you say, but that you don't get what I say. I gave you arguments. An average East coast USA guy =!= Lucifer's brother in Korea.
Yet you're still complaining how I don't give facts while you're the one who's totally clueless.

i get no problem with text understanding --
plus, that was never an argument, i wanted to know why you think its not like that (server issue is not an argument)

/palmface
Why wouldn't that be an issue? Why would a Korean play on Azeroth? And how come I can exchange flames in fluent english with AKM, while most Koreans can hardly speak english at all?

i have never seen AKM writing something, he was allways ignoring oponents (lots of them was sending him to hell etc.)
and, playing on another server is quite normal, you have never played on another server? i did, and a lot of times (if i was on computer where was shared cd key, or if north gate wasnt functional etc, or just as two friends of mine were playing on east/west 2v2 and were there rank 1, purely for that reason ...)
well to be more accurate, it could be (yes, i know allready that it wasnt that way) like lucifers little bro wanted play w3, but they got only one cd key and thats why he could play only on another server, and he was fine with it, pretty logical to me

Fair enough, at least I now see where you're coming from. Though I gave you arguments and you said I didn't.

I did play on Azeroth for a while, that's why I know AKM is a flaming shitkid. His style may be unique, his skill is not. He just masses towers and then plays whatever.
