Juan Carlos Tena "WinDy" Lopez is a teamless Terran player from Mexico. He changed his name from "MajOr" as he joined CheckSix Gaming in November 2011.

Biography

WinDy has played under a number of different IDs in the past including Princess, Kitty, Terran, and MajOr. As a Brood War player he was reputed to be incredibly gifted at the game considering his age. The well-known commentator Artosis stated that he was the next foreign player in line to move to Korea just before the release of StarCraft II. Being part of the GoSI clan, as, for example, the Woongjin Stars A-teamer Flying and playing in tryout matches against eSTRO-players confirm this impression. However, he was also known for frequently switching teams and said to suffer from a lack of respect and bad manner.

MajOr switched over to StarCraft II at fairly late point of time, well after Wings of Liberty was released. His potential was quickly realized and he was picked up by the team Root Gaming. However, due to disputes purportedly surrounding funding and maturity, he and ROOT Gaming parted ways after a period of roughly two months. On April 10, 2011 Artosis, newly appointed as the leader of Sixjax, recruited MajOr to play for Sixjax Gaming, where he continued to develop his knowledge of the game.

In May 2011, MajOr played in the team Complexity showmatch (The "V") against popular Zerg player Spanishiwa, taking the series 4-1.

In June, he participated in MLG Columbus 2011, fighting his way through the open bracket defeating Axslav 2-0 and going into pool play, emerging with a final score of 2-3 after defeating such players as TLO and iNcontroL, but losing to LosirA, HayprO and Machine . He then made it into the championship bracket, beating Tyler 2-1 but falling to Ret 0-2, which ended his run in the tournament, placing 16th.

He was caught using another player's account to compete in Dox's SEA tournament, which was restricted only to those with SEA citizenship. MajOr used the account of an SEA diamond-level player named "sayfT", but this aroused the suspicions of mOOnGlaDe who was casting his tournament matches -- noticing the Terran's unusually high-level play that was above and beyond the supposed diamond level of the account. "sayFT" continued to deny accusations of smurfing, but evidence was found on MajOr's own stream. This scandal has since created more problems for MajOr's reputation .

Sixjax Gaming captain Dan "Artosis" Stemkoski provided a more sympathetic view to MajOr's behaviour, stating that 'he was a total kid', and that his age meant bouts of immaturity would be a given, comparing the Terran player to his own attitude in the past, and that he was continuing to help him along with his attitude. However. Artosis stated that he could not reveal Sixjax's official action against MajOr.

MajOr made another showing at MLG Anaheim 2011, competing in the open bracket and defeating players such as Skew. He was stopped by wbc, who dropped him into the Loser's Bracket. He fought his way back up but was swept 2-0 by White-Ra.

He was one of the invitees to the 2011 Latin American Battle.net Invitational where he claimed first place, notably defeating Reason, CatZ and KiLLeR with a prize of $10,000 and a spot at BlizzCon.

On September 2nd 2011, MajOr was released from Sixjax. Team manager Evoli announced the release on September 4th, citing MajOr's continued poor behavior and lack of professionalism despite repeated warnings. In response to this, MajOr stated that Sixjax failed to comply with the promise to sponsor a stay in Korea, even after he himself had arranged one with team New Star HoSeo, which, along with not sending any team players to the 2011 MLG Raleigh, led him to quit the team.

This led to another statement from the team, claiming that they had indeed made plans to send MajOr to Korea, but reconsidered after he lied to management about not wearing the official team jersey at 2011 MLG Anaheim, and having bad conduct with wbc after their match. Also, they claim that he swore against a fellow teammate dde in a streamed online tournament in the course of several games. On September 20 it was announced that he would be training with TSL in their team house and his experiences would be documented by Artosis.

MajOr played in Blizzcon 2011 where he lost to NaNiwa in the first round. He would then be taken out by JazBas in his first match of the lower bracket, 0-2.

On November 3rd, CheckSix Gaming announced that they signed MajOr, who also switch his handle to WinDy. Moreover, WinDy will participate in 2011 MLG Providence, and then will be staying for at least 4 months in Korea in order to focus on obtaining a Code A spot .

On February 27th 2012, it was announced that WinDy had left CheckSix Gaming, after potentially receiving an offer from an as yet undisclosed team.

Playstyle

WinDy is known for his aggressive style of play, even during the mid and late-game, used in tandem with strong mechanics and multi-tasking. He usually prefers to use as much Bio and infantry as he can, taking full advantage of the mobility, using multi-pronged drops, attacks and pokes to beat his opponents into submission while he macros and multi-tasks more effectively. His early-game aggression is usually centered around the 2 Rax.

Trivia

• Practices with Korean players (he is formerly of the GosI Korean clan).
• Known for maturity issues, which had him part ways with Root and get banned from the Team Liquid forums.
• Likes to name himself after Brood War players he respects or likes.
• Stated in an interview after defeating Protoss player iNcontroL that he 'finds Marines useless late game', so 'you gotta make Ghosts. They're pretty good.'
