Quiz Answers/Scores & YT Uploads

      1. WGTCL Season 1 Winner

According to archive.org and my flawed memory Pirates of Space won the first WGTour Clan League Season. Back in the time it wasn't uncommon for Korean professionals to train under smurfs in the public. Most memorable: JulyZerg participating in various events such as the WGTour Speed Ladder and other final events.



      2. Teamliquid & Sandlot

None other than Fantasy was recruited by Teamliquid in the Sandlot tournament. However, at the start of the drafts Fantasy wasn't part of SK Telekom just yet, but was soon to be. Other pro-gamers participating were In_Dove (most expensive Terran), S2, Tempest, Legionnaire and Nazgul himself. Fantasy eventually turned out to be the Most Valuable Player of Teamliquid. Futher information: Sandlot



      3. IEF 2009

The International Esports Festival 2009 was won by Stork over Terror[fOu]. Terror didn't win a lot in the coming years, until the Afreeca Leagues and Sonic events started.


      4. WSL

The aforementioned Speed Ladder of WGTour.com was a pretty great thing for the community, as many Korean professionals participated, among them NaDa and JulyZerg. However, the event had its downsides, to quote Mondragon: „I was happy to know the real aka of players to begin with“. Even though this period is remembered in hinsight for JulyZerg's huge activity, and even though he qualified for almost all WSL final seasons, he did not make it into the first finals. Instead YellOw (confirmed) played against Gundam; Gundam won, another silver for YellOw.


      5. Octoshape

Octoshape was a bad invention. A really bad one. It was a neccessary plug-in you needed to watch streams by various organizations, most notably for ESL and the, iirc, Gamestar League. It had the tendency to not work or crash without warning, freezing PCs all over the foreign world. Lucky us, it did not take long until it was replaced, but it was hell.


      6. Clan Leagues

The FragBet League was released somewhere around 2006, so it is not the oldest. The ClanBase Euro Cup is an older event, yet still relatively new. Leaves WGTCL (WGTour Clan League) and BWCL (Brood War Clan League). The WGTCL started rather late, somewhen around 2003, while the BWCL was hosted years before. However, the BWCL remained closed to non-German speaking players for a long time and only opened up once less German teams signed up. It lasted until 2012, making it the probably most stable and longest lasting clan league in foreign history.


      7. ECG

The European Cyber Games were a slightly less well covered event, especially its first edition you can still find – the one of 2003. The answers were a little tricky. Mondragon vs. Androide did happen in a ECG finals and was one of the highlights of 2005; hence it might have fooled you into answering one of the two nicks. Mondragon won 3-0. However, in 2003 the finals were purely French: Elky vs. Aspeak. Elky won → Elky.


      8. Regular Clan Tournaments

A hard question as well. The Templars were really well known for their many events and their work for the community. They had regular LAN events in Germany, an own Server for the German speaking community and invite tournaments once a year. The Nerds at Work had a similar role for the Scandinavian community; even though not hosting real tournaments, they at least hosted a league consisting of twenty singular tournaments, the QCup. Team Extreme many won't remember, as it was one of the early international clans, featuring members like Arcneon. They too hosted somewhat regular tournaments in 2003. Hence, the right answer is pro Gaming. Pro Gaming dominated the tournament scene, but did not contribute to it by hosting own events.



      9. Founders

MasterofChaos and Ashur should be remembered for releasing Launchers, Sarah and Pat were an admin and founders of PGTour respectively, Xeris was a tournament organizer and clan manager, Dknight a WGTCL admin; the founders were the Belgian brothers Eki & Onurb.


      10. All-Kill

There's not much explaining neccessary: Toona S.G


      11. BlizzCon Players

Another really mean question, because some less known foreigners are listed. The Chinese Zerg Beckham did play, so did the US Terran Skew and Italian Cloud. Strelok was invited, but had visa issues and could not attend.



      12. WCG Players

This one is mean and so not known. Most popular was Midas for being in the WCG at least three times to my knowledge; twice for Brood War (best: Silver Medal vs XelloS), and once for „Three Kingdoms II“ in early WCG history. Didi8, in his memorable match against Boxer, should be known from the Pimpest Plays – taken from a WCG match. He also played other RTS titles, however the exact Genre escapes me, it was either C&C or WC3. Leaves Crow and ETBrooD. Crow, the known Czech Player, apparently also attended for Guitar Hero. → ETBrooD from Austria is the correct answer.



      13. GosuGamers

GosuGamers was (is) a Swedish Page, covered a lot about the Scandinavian scene and their most important events, such as Dreamhack, Stockholm LANs, WCG Preliminaries and so on. Even though being temporarily the home of the SE National Team, they never had „Sweden“ in any form as title. They were starcraftgamers.


      14. Flash's Slayer

It was dear in a less entertaining PvT.


      15. pro Gaming

pro Gaming's founders originally came from XiC and named their first spin off DEF – Dark Elite Forces, which later would be iDEF (i for international) and two years after finally pro Gaming.


      16. White-Ra

Played random in the first days of his career, according to his biography on his own page.


      17. Legend

This one isn't hard either. LRM)Legend aka. MistrZZZ


      18. Gonia_kr

Gonia_kr or Gonia119_kr or just Gonia119 was one of the nicks of BoxeR, most known from his WCG games.


      19. ARTISTTRACK18

This one caused some uproar. In the last season of BW4ever a lot of really notable players signed up, at least during the season. The first tour already had a Korean with the name mentioned in the title – people suspected it was Draco. It was partially confirmed by insiders, but there's no official statement from the ex-Admins. It was explosive stuff, because Draco was already in Korea and people had little to no info about how he was doing over seas. Hence: alleged Draco replays were downloaded like nothing else.



      20. Pimpest Plays

Another tricky question. Satanik was honoured for being part of a really, really long ZvZ. sVEN and Strafe both weren't added due to their performance, rather being the players falling victim to outstanding and outlandish strategies. sVEN was killed by Boxer with his Dropships, Strafe lost to a Cannon Rush on Korhal; leaves TreK with no entry in the PP series.


      21. Replay Commands

Endy poinetd it out, here a mistake from my part, the „show“ misses for all. However, /replay leaderboard is more wrong than the others. It can be hidden, but will automatically be activated if any command is entered.


      22. Patch 1.16

Replays take 2. There was plenty wrong with patch 1.16, enough to make Koreans and ICCup still use 1.15.3 for events and their ladder. One of the lesser bugs introduced was the /r chat command. Theoretically, it enables you to reply to the last person to whisper you, in reality it made you message anyone's nick in your friendlist starting with an R.


      23. Patch 1.08


Out of all units the Lurker wasn't changed at all, interestingly enough.
