[edit] Overview
Legionnaire was an Australian Starcraft progamer. He is now retired from competitive StarCraft, but frequently plays both Brood War and StarCraft 2 for fun. He played as Protoss.
[edit] Biography
[1]Only starting out as a humble foreigner who only came for WCG, he eventually stayed and became a progamer, pausing his degree on IT at University. Slowly starting out, he eventually was signed up by Pirates of Space (now MBCGame) along with Brian 'Assem' Fransciolli. He showed how he can be a weapon in Teamleagues, demolishing Toona SG 4-0 (with his victims Sirasoni, Ogogo, Goodfriend and Rock).
Eventually, Legionnaire transferred onto Hexatron with Assem again, to unite with other foreign progamers, Dan 'Rekrul' Schreiber, Bertrand 'ElkY' Grospellier and Guillaume 'Grrrr...' Patry.
Daniel Lee (manager of Hexatron, now eSTRO) used Legionnaire effectively in the teamleagues, downing players such as BoxeR on XenoSky, XellOs on Neo Forbidden Zone and ClouD on R-Point.
Eventually, after a controversial set of events which forced Legionnaire to forfeit his game against Yooi in the MBC Minor Leagues after beating Soo 2-1 in the preliminaries, he decided it was time to hang up the mouse and keyboard and go back to Australia and concentrate his studies.
Legionnaire was a fan with many Team Liquidians, often posting his experiences in Progaming. His Korean Legion (pun intended) of fans came from his signature Wink after victory pose, as well as his super-reaver play, breaking the record of kills (with 55).
[edit] Facts
[edit] Achievements
Legionnaire held the record number of Reaver kills for a single Reaver in a televised game for almost seven years. The 57-kill record was set on Plains to Hill, where Leg faced Korean opponent Nal_Rock on September 30th 2003. He was toppled by Snow's 72-kill Reaver against Zerg opponent 
n.Die_soO on July 17th 2010. He still holds the record for the Protoss vs. Protoss matchup however.
At the same time that he set the above record, Legionnaire also achieved what is reputedly the very first all-kill in a professional match. In September, 2003 Legionnaire single-handedly took out the entire Toona S.G professional team:
Game 1 ssm~Silver on Enter The Dragon
Game 2 Ogogo[inca] on Dark Sauron
Game 3 T.3)Friend on Jim Raynor's Memory
Game 4 Nal_Rock on Plains to Hills
