I don't think anyone will have half an awesome story as that one lilsusie; friends who like starcraft knew I liked trolling people so they hooked me up with this site

was during summer a year or two ago and i come back home from my uncle's factory from work. take a shower go to my friends house to chill. we start playing some fighting games to pass some time so we can go to go catch a movie. his brother challenges me to a random game of starcraft since he just lost a match in 3rd Strike (SF). i like "wtf is starcraft?", "u mean warcraft". he says "nah son imma zergrush your ass". we play with his brother helping me as i play terran and get run over by dt's and carriers. we play 3 more times where i get throughly embarrassed. i said who plays this game? they proceed to show me these two videos

I was an avid fan or sclegacy and broodwar.com, and somehow got linked to TL.net at the end of 2002.

From then on...

originally started playing sc on 2003 after a friend of mine made me play it. Back then i thought I tanks could shoot air (why else were they holding firmly to the ground?!) and saw him mass cannon BGH and realized protoss = God

Played w/ protoss for a bit and went to Korea after my freshmen yr of hs (summer of 2004) and then i met boxer...

afterward i got into the whole playing starcraft professionally phase and found out about TL but nvr cared enough to join and browsed it like how i browsed SC:L.

freshmen yr of college I really got into starcraft and started reading TL more and more and by sophomore year decided it was time to join and get to know the community better.

now i am here...

I've been playing BW forever and met many former SC players on WC3 such as Tillerman, Agent911, Maynard and Alucard when I played for nX, rS, and TT. This was long before Grubby dominated the scene fyi, these were the days of SK.Insomnia. There were some others but I can't remember for the life of me. I attended WCG USA 2003 representing clan TT and finished 3rd behind Gentho and Ironclad(aka Ghostridah), as I was rejoicing over winning my awesome new computer, I saw that a player named Rekrul had won the SC tournament. After that it just snowballed into learning about elky, Grrr..., Fisheye, and other foreigners, I saw some stuff on Boxer and TL.net just popped in there some where. Soon after I would go back to Counter-Strike as my game and stop playing WC3 after TFT beta, though I continued to lurk on teamliquid. After a brief stint of WoW and a 768th comeback to Counter-Strike, one of my teammates got me into playing low money in late 2008 and I finally signed up to thank Stylish for his Terran guide!

GG!

I played on and off since it's release, mostly single player, I frequented the Aus-1 server (where all the Australians hanged out before B.Net became popular).
In 2003 a guy named SpuniasauR (WHERE ARE YOU) had the link in his profile. I lurked the website and befriended him. Olympus OSL just finished and the mycube OSL just started. I was very intrigued that Koreans played Starcraft as a sport.
Signed up for an account in early 2004, started posting, and decided to get myself more into not only Starcraft, but e-Sports in general.
and here I am.
