I was over at a friend's house, and he was playing fastest (~05,06?), and kept losing. Then he played single player with cheats, but I was being a pokemon master at the same time so i didnt know that he had used the cheats...

A friend of mine had the game in '99 and it looked cool. However I didn't start playing it myself until 2002. Been following progaming ever since. Kids nowadays don't get how cool it is to be able to watch VOD:s of new games all the time. Back then it was all about written battle reports.

I watched reps, found Boxer. Found Nada. The rest is history

fall of 99, freshman year of college, all the boys on my dorm floor played it so i just played along. I remember asking "what's the point of the game" ... "build stuff and kill the other guy".

we played 3v3 bgh and had dorm wars (rather, it was like 3rd floor vs 4th floor, or suites vs suites..) and i used the ID lilsusie even back then. =/ was nice when everyone was on the same level in terms of skill and there was always a satisfaction of beating out the boys who always said "girls dont play games". ^^

Think it was may 98, was in fifth grade and had just finished class. went up to the schools "daycare" where children can play some games or whatever until a parent can pick you up, anyway in the computer room one of the daycare personel/computer teacher was playing SC. He had no minerals left but the screen was full of his cannons so the game was a draw...
He and us(the kids) were playing LAN 8 players on BGH sometimes a week.

Read about SC in some gaming magazine and got interested in it. At that time we were a bunch of friends who went to a "computer club" (aka PC bang if you like) frequently to play on LAN. We were into C&C Red Alert at the time, and a bit of Warcraft 2. SC was fun, but kinda kept playing the old games which we knew better.

Broodwar happened for me in 2001 or even 2002, I don't remember. Some of my classmates in high school played it and I went along. We were still playing in computer clubs, although we had internet at home then. Funny, I can't remember when I got broadband first... Anyway, I had a pirated copy at home, played in single player a bit, mostly melee vs comp. Never finished the campaign. Boring as hell! On LAN we played 2v2 or 3v3 on BGH. We had a thing about no attack for the first 15 minutes so we all went big air and duked it out lategame only. This is how I got bored with it. Wanted to try low money/or still BGH but with no restrictions but had no one to play with so the passion died.

Wikipedia. This is how I heard about professional Starcraft competition. By accident. Got on youtube watched the games there as entertainment, with the famous commentators Klazart, Diggity, Moletrap and later Cholera. I found the skill of the players fascinating and pimp. At one point I decided to play as well. In order to get better, I lurked forums(see my post count and you can guess I have registered here only recently) and even watched -combat-ex-!

To an extent, I have played Starcraft for less than 2 years.

Somewhere around early 2001 i think, when I was in primary school. My older brother got Starcraft for christmas from our relatives in Singapore. I tried playing it, but I sucked and ended up using the power overwhelming cheat. I stopped but picked it up again around 2006 where I played a lot of LAN and got into watching the Korean leagues, then finally this year I started playing online, which is why I joined TL.

I still remember my first game ever. I was terrible, but I watched my older brother play a lot so I kind of knew what to do, although I was incredibly slow at it and new to it.

It was a 3v3 on BGH, and 2 people left, so it was a 2v2. One of the opponents decided to leave, so it became a 2v1. He stayed anyway. I remember he had a wall of supply depots from his main base, pretty much up to the middle. It took us forever to finally kill them all and get into his base. My partner was good, so he pretty much did everything, although I used a few siege tanks and marines. We ended up winning. I still remember, quite clearly, how much of a fun experience it was and totally different.

After her parents left, my cousin and I were left in the room, two bored kid with nothing to do for an hour. She asked if I would like to. My eyes opened wide, and with a smile we went into the bedroom. She hopped on and after strumming through the introductions we got to the main stuff. She first started by taking off her sweater and tossing it on the chair. Then she began to reveal her magic, piece by piece.
I was only ten, and it was my first time. After she showed me the basics, she began to play, explaining how everything worked and what went where. Then she guided me, teaching me what to do and soon we were both enjoying ourselves.
At first it was strange, having to deal with so many new things, but at the same time I was hooked, curious, interested. She seemed to get happier the more I slowly picked up the pace. I slowly got faster and faster, but man it was hard. I just had so much difficulty keeping my frustration in, but she calmed me down and showed me a few secrets.
As it went on, both of us were intently at it, she gradually gauging me and dealing with it accordingly. Despite my best efforts, I couldn't do anything about it.

That 9 pool was fucking imbalanced.
