Happy birthday to HizardcoreMike, or HcM!
HcM began his career on GameFAQs, but soon joined THE Alternative in 2006 in order to learn the art of competitive RBY. HcM, as with most players, experienced growing pains during his first few months, losing many matches and gaining a dubious reputation as somebody who could only win with luck. Nonetheless, he was gaining practical experience, which would come in handy in one of THE Alternative's biggest tournaments, the IRBYT.
Despite finishing with a disappointing record of 1-6, I put HcM on the team because he was a very dependable player, unlike others who were not as committed. HcM took advantage of this opportunity as he pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the year, defeating the legendary peter pan in the second round and then the great cune in the finals, giving THE Alternative the win.
From here, HcM would participate in almost all of THE Alternative's tournaments. Though he didn't win often, HcM gradually improved to the point where he became a tough elimination. Two years after making his debut, HcM signed up for TOS7 in 2008 and reached the finals, where het me. Even though he lost, HcM put up a hell of fight in what was an intense bo3 series.
Sadly, THE Alternative died after TOS7; however, at least the finals of this tournament took place between two of its cornerstones.
