Then I watched this one and all your other fpvods like 1,000,000 times. My first ZvP win actually happened on Longinus with me trying to copy what I saw in the video above. I was really happy. This was like in 2009, where I played only on battle.net and got terrible advice from other players, so I would always lose. I actually wanted to quit playing BroodWar, but then I saw this video and was like "I think I can do that." So yeah, thanks O_O! + Show Spoiler + Also, this took place before you played Combat-EX. I actually watched a bunch of his videos and learned some good and bad stuff from them. So when you played him, I already had watched your VODs and his. So you're probably like "So what? A lot of people saw both." but you have to understand, I was from US East. To people on US East, there is nothing outside of East, and even though you go "I'm Chill from teamliquid.net", I only visited TL once to get chaoslauncher. In the isolated and dark world of East, it is a miracle that I just started playing and also heard of you AND Combat-EX. I didn't even know who Day[9] was, but I was instantly a fan. Also, I am in deep deep denial that BroodWar will ever die. | ||

I don't know how I feel about that. In college, heading home to watch BW streams was the norm. The days off that Proleague had felt empty, as though I was supposed to be doing something that evening but was suddenly cancelled. Funny how things that used to anchor you just get cast away so easily. So true! Like, this is on, and it's got the best BW players there currently are: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/brood-war/445539-2nd-lovetv-starleague You won't get higher quality BW anywhere than on Afreeca streams, and the game's arguably even more deep than ~2010, but still, without the community, without translators, without basic fanboyism and hype for your favourite players, it just isn't the same. Drop everything and watch pro/star league. It used to be worth it, I don't know what's come out of the equation, but it doesn't feel worth it anymore. Thanks Chill for sharing, gotta appreciate it for what it was. How's the card game coming? | ||

That is actually pretty insulting to the people who put a lot of effort to bring news from the current Korean scene, translate articles and interviews, and genuinely still enjoy watching and being part of the BW community. Just because you don't enjoy it anymore, don't say that those who still do are basically wasting their time. That's pretty rude. | ||

I know we didn't keep in touch much over the last couple of years but I would just like to take a moment to reply to your post. I was never an exceptionally good Brood War player, or maybe not even a decent player but I had a lot of fun playing together. You have some amazing accomplishments and have done some amazing things through StarCraft and although I don't have anything that comes close to those feats, let me tell you what I miss and what your nostalgia made me think of. It made me think of sitting in Op GiT'eM and chatting with Apathy, Ace, Mora, Blatant, Probe, You and Stealth (I'm sure I've missed some, I am sorry). GiTM was probably the highlight of my gaming experience, we had some great players and we did great when we ventured into some of the WGT clan wars, etc. I remember trying to improve my game and you telling me I had no timing, which I don't believe I ever did get. I remember you crushing me over and over but being determined to squeak out a win, like hiding a bunch of barracks in your base (ET Terran  ). I remember talking about going to WCG Canada after I won my qualifiers out east here and talking about hanging out, but I couldn't make it happen unfortunately.I felt like the time spent as GiTM was one of the favorite in my gaming history, we all seemed so interested in the same thing and so driven to try and be better. I remember trying over and over to convince you to exclusively play for GiTM (I think thats what it was) when we all started talking about trying to be a little more competitive. I remember the arguments with Probe, Apathy sending me a tie in the mail from his parents tie factory for doing the website and all the good times we've had. I hope that your card game has taken off and you are doing well. Congrats on the wife, I would like to talk to you some time to know the details and to fill you in on the changes in my life. I'm sure if you browse my blogs you can see the general direction that life has taken. I have met someone, someone amazing and that I want to spend the rest of my life with. I didn't blog about that one. Anyway my friend, maybe I will get a chance to talk to you soon, and if not then you venture onward safely. - GiTM.maideN, Trance, Atlantic, Apostle.... - Joshua | ||

Those memories really do stay with you. I sometimes wonder if I was more involved in the community or dedicated myself more to the game in general, but BW did bring a learning experience or two as well. It's amazing to hear that you're getting married and moving along, I wish the best for you, my friend. | ||

Well BW won't be dead as long as YOU are playing it and keeping it alive, as opposed to merely reminiscing about it | ||
