He popularized the style, yeah. I really enjoyed playing against him and his aggressive approach as it made for some extremely exciting / technically skillful games.

Left Blizzard 4-5 months ago, still trying to figure out what I want to do next. Might head back to school, or do some volunteer work abroad. Right now I'm just living with an old friend back in Massachusetts and playing poker for a living.

Yeah, I forget if it was 2000 or 2001. I didn't end up making the trip to Korea for the finals though, as I had school coming up, I hate long plane rides, and unless I dedicated like three straight months to getting back in highly competitive shape I didn't have much of a shot of winning.

Were you there with Sindread and Jester? Because that's when I was there.

Froz won that year, he kind of came out of nowhere.
