Overview[edit]
Eric "G5" Rothmuller is a retired US StarCraft player that played Protoss. He was known for his unique style in Protoss vs. Terran, especially since he often used very dangerous bulldog openings. This enabled him to defeat Boxer during 2009 IEF with a pure force of Dragoons.
G5 had several notable records in tournaments like USA's WCG qualifiers and others. He never officially retired and showed a quite consistent skill ever since 1999.
Trivia[edit]
- G5 is also well known for famously beating GoRush with Scouts.
- G5 is one of the only non-Koreans to compete in both the Korean Courage Tournament and ASL Qualifiers.
- G5 is the only person to win Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals at WCG USA.
- G5 invented a build on the map Match Point where a Protoss walls in their opponent between their main base and natural expansion with a Pylon, Forge, and Gateway and first displayed it against Korean progamer Kal at World Cyber Games 2010 Grand Finals. He later used it in TLS2 to defeat Dewalt - View VOD.
