Do you know Zileas?

There was a post about him on TL some years ago.

He is now the director of League of Legends.

I think it's hilarious that the post starts off by catering to "new school" players

Oh god, someone needs to write a history of Starcraft. I know there's the Starcraft bible but indepth stuff like this needs to be preserved. Once people like like you who remember all this stuff leave the community it'll all be forgotten forever!

Me too lol. I used to be involved in DoTA community that was sort of like this though.. but not nearly as awesome apparently

I love this stuff! Great post, thanks for sharing.
(and I hope we will speak about SC2 with the same love in a couple of years, and of course never forget about BW). <3
Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not. 파이팅! ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ"

Sandlot was probably my favorite "foreigner" tournament of all time (ok, tied with TSL). I can remember the hype even today. And seeing some of the foreigners taking the games from the koreans... it was glorious!

Man I remember back in the day Froz, Yosh, g5, (idra once), and Machine used to all go to the WCG qualifier in San Mateo where I lived. I got so mad in (2004?) when I had to play either yosh or g5 in round 1. Those were the days.

EDIT: You should totally give g5 credit in your OP shoutout spot. (Nony too ^^)

EDIT 2 Liquibition and TL attack need to make a comeback.


i gave shoutouts to the players who didnt switch over/retired, they needed some recognition : D


Blackman?



BNAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHGG how could i have forgotten
theres obviously alot of other players that i forgot to mention, plz name them so i can add them into my OP

Delicato, reason, whear, didi8, alfa, breakdown (!!!), cope, ranger, anon, ovvi (!!!), strafe, twisted, sys, fenris, willet, aspeak, stinger, rifter, hexer aka test-acc, xiaozi, daaman (!!!), dolife, spawn, aqrash, cameleon. There was also a great terran from Bulgaria but his name escapes me.

Here is a great page with some old school pics. There are even a couple videos of nazgul at the bottom (links still work after all these years).


The list is piling up. I think its starting to cover almost everybody. Here are some more (unsure of spelling):
Asmody, (Orky)Soul, {PH}Pillars, 1st~Tsunami, I think PJ has been mentioned? But in a single post?

Edit: I dont really know Tillerman's skill. He seemed to excel at RTS war2/sc/bw/war3 but never wanted to put in the actual hours. Anybody know how good he was at sc? At least i remember his war3 casts were fucking hilarious. "What can i dew? Tell me how to stop that expansion right nau!" I still have his UD vs HU imbalance mp3 on my ipod ^^

There are also some other names i remember, but not sure about their skill in reference to foreigner at that time:
)ToT(DaZe, the swede.


Edit2: I made a thread a year ago where i went through every tournament posted on battlereports.com from 00-02, and picked out the ones that had great players. Might be some forgotten names in there. It can be found here

Wow, I am only on TL since SC2 release, but all that nostalgic stuff sounds so awesome. I heard a lot of that from the Day[9] Daily #100 and from a few posts here on TL, but there's also a lot of very interesting and for me new stuff in there ... Still can't believe that all this happened, when I was basically going the first time to elementary school ..

I did know some of those ! but its nice to be reminded.

Did you know? Testie had a (100ish? dont remember the exact number) win streak on neo forbidden zone(was that the map?) on PGTour. Everyone was going ape shit over it.

I thought it was only when testie played PvT he had 100-0 record.

Did you know ?
Fredrik Ostervold aka [GG99]Slayer won a korean tournament KPGM, and was regarded as one of the best players in the world. Yes that was a tournament filled with Koreans.


Legionnaire(foreigner) scored first ever all-kill in history of Korean Brood War?

Incontrol is 1-0 against young Jaedong and Flash (ladder)?

Mondragon won vs Savior

PJ won vs Savior and fought close battles with Stork, Bisu at wcg.

Draco won vs Midas at WCG 2006.

Someone drew Swastika on Blackman's 3rd place WCG 2002 check, that made him very upset.

Blackman was considered as pioneer of macro zerg style, he lost to Boxer in an exciting game in wcg 2002.

Blackman used to train vs computer opponent in BW because his Internet connection was very poor.

Stork and Savior despite having very little apm (200-250) are regarded as some of the best players ever.

Boxer was first a Protoss but switched when Reavers got nerfed in 1.08.

Advokate took a game of Jaedong at wcg.

Firebathero was on Team Light for a month. It was back then when it was a BW team. But he had to leave because he started his progaming career.

You are free to fix some details if i missed ;p
Blackman and Draco polish legends <3 !

Other greats : INcinerate, INMogkupo (hell anyone from IN), INMoJo, Gadianton, IN-Bob, INPython, Atlas, Jester, Thor, Maven (sorry!!), Dimmack, 88fingers and dozens more.


Never any love for me or my brother (Wizard). ;(

Anyway - thought I'd replug for those who have never heard or seen these people play. I did a series of Nostalgia games awhile back with about ~700 old replays from 2001-2002 that has about 1/4 of this list within it. You can access the vids or download the replays from the following threads:
