EPTI first met sataNik when I was around the age of 15, we used to play in internet-cafes back then in my country and whenever I went to the internet cafe I didnt really want to play but to watch sataNik play against top koreans or top foreigners on PGTour, WGTour, Neogame-i, Iccup. (Back then live streaming didnt exist so everything was done RL :D).
sataNik was a true StarCraft warrior, one could say he was addicted to it. He was playing starcraft from the age of 21 till 31. 10 years non stop starcraft. talking about lots of hours per day. Making strategies that noone else could think of and theorycrafting alot. He was a player that as we talked over it lately didnt have to copy the top korean players and he didnt have to. He has low apm (around 150-200) and as he told me, if you want to get better you have to get better with your own style, you cant just copy a korean with 300-400 apm, its impossible and timings in starcraft count even the last second of it! and he is right!
Now 15 years later. I talked with sataNik through facebook and for fun I typed to him "1v1 gogogo?" his reply was "18nom". I didnt know what that was but he said to google it. Then I called him dodger and that he is a coward so I kinda triggered him. Little did I know a few hours later after a long conversation he said he would come over my house to hang out. So we went for a big walk (that guy is 42 now and he runs and walks like a 20y old athlete T_T) and then sat down to drink a coffee.
Yesterday night we even get to play some games and I also made him play vs players like Bonyth, Silver, Jessie, myself and a clanmate. Now the guy still got it. I mean he hasnt touched the games in many years and he still is able to play like 2k mmr ranked player. He said it himself that if he practised he could make it top5 europe. Thing is everytime he plays the game, he gets addicted to it and he doesnt want that because it is bad for his health. Its totally understandable.
sataNik sent me a rep pack of his and I took alot of time to organize the files etc. And because I want to share this awesome oldschool playstyle with all of you I have uploaded the file here:

I just found out about this site so if anyone else has another url that will keep the file active be my guest (I have permission from sataNik to share the replays anywhere I please). There should be some very interesting games in there. I havent yet seen all of them but most of them should work on current version of the game. (There are also some games vs 88)incontrol). Enjoy everyone!
Hail from Tetsuo[ReV] my ingame nickname now and sataNik~
