It's not that im running out of material, its that VODs from YellOw's prime are in serious obscurity. This is an obvious problem but one which i cannot solve because I'm not Live2Win with a massive VOD collection. Alas, this will probably be the last blog specifically dedicated to yellow. Atleast I'll go out with a bang First up is the secret behind Yellow's victory in the Snickers All-Star tournament.



[image loading]

After that masterful performance, we will dip into one of the sorry chapters of Yellow's life. With YellOw on the resurgence, fans everywhere were amped for what would be the definitive Lim-Jin standoff. Of course, I am talking about the EVER 2004 Semifinal. This is perhaps one of the most famous series, and if you haven't seen it - you simply must watch it now.



YellOw is only a human Zerg, and when Boxer came prepared with "the ultimate" cheese he was blown out of the water. Fortunately he was able to win snickers the following year, but alas the pain was very real. In the words of Jin Ho;

I'm too sorry to see the faces of my teammates and coach so I came to a PC bang..

I am so sorry to my fans and can't see the faces of the people I know..I don't know what to do..

I promised myself over and over again that I would show my fans the results of my overwhelming practice, but I didn't show anything and just loose 3:0..Now my mind is just blank

As a pro I must study all the strats and builds of the other player but in order to win I had no choice but to do the strats I chose..I am so angry at myself for not finding an answer to counter the Terran's strat.

In order for Zerg to have a chance, zerg must do nat hatchery first and then go spawning..its very hard for Zerg to win by going spawning first..SO I wished plese be diagonal positions..but I am ashamed of myself for relying on luck rather than skill at the beginning of the game..

I am destined to play a lot more but today's shock will never be forgotten. Until now I have fought a lot of terrans and whenever I was in disadvantage I knew what I did wrong to make that situation. And I blamed myself for making those wrong decisions..

But today..

I am thinking that Terran has an advantage in Starcraft and their units are too good. T-T I think I have much more to practice..for being so unlucky..T-T;;..God has abandoned meT-T

Ah~I wanna cry. Being a professional and blaming the game for my losses..I feel so ashamed and am about to go crazy.

Today I wasn't Hong Jin Ho,
Today I wasn't Storm zerg
Today..
Today I was just a zerg.
Zerg...
T-T
Ahhh~~

My fan site cafe is really chaotic right now..
I wish it will come back to its original "Jin Ho cafe"
I sometimes want to be a fighter too..
Stupid Zerg!!
That's all I have to say..always be happy.


very moving

To close off the blog post i will post the "best" games of Yellow from the MBC network - ironically one of the games i posted earlier is the first game . However there are two more - Yellow vs Stork on RH2 and Yellow vs Control on RH2; both brilliant displays of JinHo superiority. So if you haven't seen this before then my suggestion is that you watch and enjoy.



With nothing left to say about this titan of Brood War i can only leave you with a simple image;

Long live the Storm Zerg

I think the one where yellow lost to boxer in BO3 is the first progamming report I read on TL and the first progamming game I looked on vod...

Kong Dance for the win. And I think there was a similar video where NaDa was on the background, wearing white with a girl grinding all over Mr. Golden.

That 3 cm drop on Othello was beast. Took him forever to finish off his opponent though, which is really an indication of what type of shape he's in.

that was the GSI game right?>

i guess he was playing safe though. you dont really wanna risk all ur units in an attack on a heavily fortifiied reaver cannon defence right

I love the ending of the quote:
"That's all I have to say..always be happy"

always be happy even though you feel ashamed and about to go crazy, the YellOw motto.

Nice writeup, Plexa! These posts make me want to discover the SC pro scene before now. I wish I got to experience the old school players.
