EPTI liked it the first time i played in the terran boot camps, because i thought it was so similar to command and conquer that another friend i had used to play. I never had any connection to Battle.net at that time, so i just went through playing the campaigns and custom games with cheats. ^^;
I moved out of my old house because i was following my parents since they got a job else where, we then finally received DSL, so i was actually able to play a game on multi player without discing. The first games i joined were those that was called "fastest" i used to think that the games called "3vs3 fastest" meant that the people who were fastest at joining got the chance to play, so i decided to go there. I was amazed at how fast my income grew, and how i didn't have to expand comparing to those old lame custom games on single player. I got addicted to fastest for about a year....
After that year, most of my fastest friends quit, so i joined some other games, and started with those 1v1 LT's. It was so much more slower than fastest, and i was never really interested in those.
I had some friends on some other forums like Starcraft.org, and i would hang out with them on east after the guys on west wouldn't come on anymore. Fortunately they were nice enough to help me improve on my melee, and wouldn't pwn me as hard. I started as zerg, and had a lot of trouble against protoss due to their damned storms, and my habits of going hydras without microing...
This one day i was surfing on blizzard's website, saw the blizzcon 2005 going on. I was tired of getting pwned by protosses, since most of the people i knew at starcraft.org played toss. I didn't want to convert to them because I just didn't want to be the same as everyone else.
I scanned through the players that played during the blizzcon 2005, i happened to notice that there was only 1 terran player called NaDa, so i immediately went to the conclusion that there weren't many Terran Players, and knowing me that was the race which attracted me the most. I later dled reps of NaDa from Wgtour.com and viewed them and copied exactly what nada did with his port builds. After a month or so, i tried out his tactics on some random public noobs on LT. It worked pretty well, and i kept dropping tanks on their expo cliffs, and managed to win my games that way. It made me have lots of self-confidence
.Later that year in 2005 or 2006*, i played on PGTour, and i noticed that Lost Temple wasn't the only map that people played on, thus i had to stop using the 2 tank on cliff build because there were no cliffs on some of the maps they played. So I eventually went to the standard 1 factory expo (I still use it today).
We all know PGT died, and abyss popped up soon after, i play abyss now, and i manage to get D+'s and C-'s on there.. ^^;
Sorry for the choppy english, didn't want to go back checking everything and writing a decent essay.
