Biography [ edit ]

TumescentPie is especially vocal on such topics as stream sniping and stream cheating (which happens quite often) the imbalance of both Protoss and Zerg, and the amount of skill that is required to play Terran compared to the other races. He can be described as a fanatical madman, who swings his chat's banhammer with a bloody rage.

One of his well known quotes after banning a person, usually for trying to give him in-game advice is "I'm sorry, but you're not allowed to talk here anymore"

Known for popularizing the idea of baneling friendly splash damage and "red and green banelings" one color for buildings and one color for units.

Said he'd be GM as P and Z but has been seen to own offrace accounts with Silver league Zerg and Gold League protoss.
