I LOVE Klazart. And you, Sir OP, deserve a medal for your effort and dedication to bring back all these memories. God that guy could cast. Watching JP at BlizzCon finals just before checking out this post makes me kinda sad. (No Offense!)

Klazart is the sole reason I found starcraft and got exposed to this beautiful game. I remember searching youtube for something like "english SC commentaries" and I was immediately captivated by his intelligence, style, and passion for the game. I have listened to every commentary on his channel and when he would release a new one it would literally make my day. He will always be the best commentator in my book and I hope one day he returns.

If it wasn't for Klaz, I wouldn't follow SC now.

It took me a long time to realize that the game on display and the game being cast were not one in the same. After realizing that, I started thinking about how uncannily similar the two games were, how past was intermingling with (relative) present, and how the game really does tell a story. And, as stories go, a narrative emerged of past folding forward like a wave drawn inexorably toward the shore, and the crashing tide of time began lapping again on very familiar sands. Eerie but fascinating, I could do nothing but watch and contemplate the nature of the universe as told by what will surely be the timeless struggle of Terran and Zerg; the God of War and the indefatigable warrior; the seasons and their change and the way things stay the same.

Klazart was amazing.... but I don't think I like hearing him commentate SC2 :/ It doesn't seem like something he'd get excited about.

Klazart was one of the pioneers of bw English commentary, along with other people such as Rise, Cholera, Diggity, etc. He is commonly honored as the greatest bw commentator (along with Cholera), known for his excitement, metaphors ('nada feels the knife digging deep into his ribs'), and most of all wpm/speed, especially when a big battle was going on. No one could match how fast this man could commentate, and his intensity inspired all those watching to get involved with bw. Simply put, he and the rest of the original commentators got many people into competitive starcraft in the first place, and many people on teamliquid look back on him fondly as he might have been the one to get them into starcraft.

A while ago he stopped commentating for personal reasons, but since then he's snuck back on a couple times to some commentaries (but hasn't done one for a good while yet).

The OP took a shitload of audio files from Klazart's bw commentaries and put them onto this SC2 one. Since Nada and July were active bw players at the time Klazart commentated and are also now active SC2 players, he was able to create this commentary.

Maybe it's because I didn't watch or play BW, but I honestly don't think this guy is that good.

Sirjolt I have now read your blog, tried digesting it, understanding it with all my rational power.
The darkness left me alone with this nostalgic joy of what brought me here in the first place.

I've finally started playing sc2, even if I miss the bw days this just brings me joy. Thank you for this initiative, I'm only looking forward to our up and coming games more now!

I'll finish this sentimentality with a few old youtube words I laid on a klazard vod once.

I was just gonna check in on who won the game, but your voice, your excitement, you give it so much life. It's impossible to stop watching your vods.
