In 2002, I burned a CD of old replays to watch on the plane and in the hotel prior to CompUSA\'s MillionManLan in Kentucky. These 750+ replays consisted of games of either myself or my younger brother from the past two years. The majority of the games are from the CompUSA $20,000 ($10,000 for first) online ladder, WCG USA 2001 qualifier ladder, KBK, and Recon2000. During this time, replay functionality had just become available, so these are among the first games in existence from the development of the USA SC:BW scene.

For this event, some of the players I plan to stream games of this era against are:

• Day[9]
  
• Tasteless
  
• Pillars (WCGC 2000 USA winner, balance designer for Starcraft 2 for awhile)
  
• Whear (CompUSA online winner, 3 time WCG grand finals qualifier)
  
• Dreame (top Zerg player, mentioned in Day[9] daily #100)
  
• Tsunami (top Zerg player, known for writing popular Zerg strategies)
  
• LJT (In my opinion, the best American 2v2 player of the 2001 era)
  
• Etc!
  

Tune in to see how the predecessor to SC2 developed before everyone learned how to play!
