Become A Pro by TaKe

Post by Aaryn_GenD »

TaKe, the german ex-wc3 pro player is doing a series about him venturing into sc2. he records everything he does, from laddering, analyzing stuff, being analyzed and commentated by other pros.
you see him slowly (well superfast actually) climb the ladder and he's in master league now after 28 games

link to his profile:

Well Take is one of the rare german casters and there are lots of english casters out there and also lots of teaching vods. And Take usually feels uncomfortable to cast in english. It is quite good that he makes it in german since there are obvious also many german people who want a german cast instead of an english one

Ive been following him on a daily basis. I found a lot of his insights very interesting and appreciate his had work. But he´s now dissapeared and I feel like flaming him big time 4 creating such high expectations. He´s gone since the IEM, which I equally followed daily.

Any1 know where he´s @?

He is back.
After IEM he was on vacation at the Baltic Sea. He casted yesterday the GO4SC2 cup. The last hours of the cast were quite epic since SOcke, Darkforce, Naruto and Hasuobs casted with him together Goody games (quarter, Semi and Final) and that is always fun
