Same with Hiya being a joker and Zero being loveable. You need a venue for that. A great deal of OSL's popularity came from the fact you could just walk up to the biggest seoul mall and watch the players live, because megawebstation pc bang was so huge, with a studio planted right in middle of it I doubt sonic has the money to afford a whole tv and production crew and rent a huge and easily accessible place | ||

Even with SC2, I could never go back and watch a game from 3 months ago that didn't currently have implications... it just doesn't feel the same. I mean, there's enough professional sports to watch forever, but how often do people watch anything but the absolute classics? I think that's the saddest part of BW being gone for me - even though I'll never love a game as much as it, there still isn't enough to draw me to watch old games. What a sad realization. There is a lot of truth to that, but I find two exceptions 1)You haven't seen the game before - at least for me good games are always fun to watch. If I hear about a gem I haven't seen I tend to go watch it, old or not 2) For learning - BW is different that way from other sports. You don't really watch pro basketball to learn how to play basketball, or pro golf to learn how to play golf (not that you can't learn anything from watching though), but BW due to the massive strategy component you can learn alot from watching and thinking about games. | ||

I can rewatch greatest games of BW and even if i know the outcome I still get thrilled. The mixture of audio and video, is simply the biggest "turn-on" my brain gets in spectated E-Sport. I can barely recollect handful of comparable E-Sport spectatorship peaks in other games I cared in the past. | ||

I've been trying to find a big unspoilered way to watch the Brood War I wasn't aware of, but it's quite hard to do on places like Youtube etc. I really want to immerse myself from the early days to the twilight era of the game chronologically. I'm sure some kind soul probably has a monstrous torrent of this stuff but alas I have yet to find it. | ||

When searching for stuff on TL, you'll probably have more luck adding "site:teamliquid.net" to a google search than using TL's search function. | ||

When searching for stuff on TL, you'll probably have more luck adding "site:teamliquid.net" to a google search than using TL's search function. The only gripe i had with this torrent is that pre 2007 vods are so low quality, also it was annoying to find some vods were actually lower quality than the ones that were on youtube. But seeing how MBC vods were almost completely deleted form youtube there is no other source. | ||
