Did we ever figure out the real identity of this player?
For context, Viper played an account named "2", in EW ladder about a year ago, and his playstyle was extremely like Liereyy/Hera, amazing micro nerd.
After a lot of digging :P I found his profile on AoeInsights
Now that RBW6 is over, I am trying to see if the person wants to come fwd and reveal their identity :D
Some things I found over his profile and in his game vs TheViper :
1. He has a consistent eAPM of 50-60 (max 70) in the games in his profile
2. He played Capoch, Kongen, Fedex, TheViper, Spring, so it's not them. MBL was in Viper's chat during the game so it can't be him.
3. He had a German Flag (but was using VPN to hide his identity ofc : maybe a hint he is a RBW participant?)
4. His unit control, especially with archers/xbow was very Hera/Liereyy like - constantly active and he had the balls to micro downhill/run up the hill, and just overall good skirm control
Just from these, we can make some exclusions or derivations.
-> Assuming it is someone who qualified for RBW5/RBW6 or wanted to participate in it and is atleast a 2k2+ player
Just the eAPM of 50-60 eliminates almost all from the list :
Hera, Liereyy (>120)
Vinch, Tatoh (> 100)
Nicov, Jordan, Slam, Villese, Sitaux, Kingstone (>80)
Dogao, Barles? (>70-80)
Obviously, cant be Viper, Capoch or MBL
That leaves us with the following : Yo, ACCM, and Daniel.
My guess would be Daniel, it would be very much like Daniel to perform those micro movements, then again it could be Yo because I checked all the games' analysis of "2" and he consistently has eAPM of 50-60, without spikes, it exactly resembles Yo's eAPM curve, while Daniel's has spikes upto 80-90 (not surprising as Daniel is a micro nerd at times. And the late game is extremely Yo-Like, like the skirms with rams, treb fight, its kinda how Yo plays that tbh
What do you guys think?
Maybe I am reading too much into this and this is just someone who went deep into the Qualifiers and is 2k2/2k3+ (which is the most likely scenario). Guess we will never find out :P
EDIT : I forgot the MOST important guess : DAUT 11
Viper in the video completely refused to believe this can be daut just based on the micro and I agree (altho Daut has <50 eAPM so it is closer than the micro nerds' eAPM at the top)

Skirmishers, usually a counter-unit to archers, is part of what we call "trash units", meaning that it doesn't cost gold. And in this game, you will see plen...
