Slayer and TheMarine were playing.Can anyone who has good knowledge of proscene tell me anything about it? Why was it called Knight`s Bridge? What was the format? Was there anything special about it or was it just another tournament?

I think Nazgul can say much more about this, as he was one of the players who took part in the qualifications. | ||

It was P @3 vs T @12 on LT. He went pylon, pylon, gateway, pylon, gas. (vs boxer who did 1 fact starport) Ahhh... the good old days of awesome builds  I went to one KBK, it was held on jeju island, elky, giyom and assem were also there. We all made it past the first round (i think). Elky let the team down, he was meant to beat this zerg guy then i was meant to beat elky! It didn't work out that way though. Elky got raped, then the zerg raped me.  I seem to remember watching one of the games in elky's first match, and he killed his own CC with vultures. It took about 5 minutes for the vultures to kill it too. I seem to remember he did that on TV once as well. It was just 64 players in a normal playoff. Bo3 each round to advance. To qualify you had to play in a online tournament (like iccup nowadays) and top 48?? went through, then they did some invites or preseeds or something or other. It was just another tournament afaik. I don't have knowledge of early progaming though. | ||

As pointed out, a lot of people cheated during the ladder portion. Further complicating things was the a disconnect did not detract points nor did it give the winner any points for some incredibly stupid reason. Elky and his team abused their way to the top along with many other big names, but KBK didn't care, and to this day Elky will defend his ladder abuse (ah, how things have changed with TSL! Many people cheating doesn't get one off.... blew my mind). There were legit players on the ladder, but sadly, qualifying legitimately was difficult. For example, one of my games was against one of Elky's clanmates, Chobo (actual tag, sans the clan name that I have forgotten). To be more accurate, it was against his smurf name in the ladder. I won the game conclusively and was destroying his base, but like most people on the ladder, he choose to disconnect rather than accept the loss. I was actually his last real game as well - after losing to me and being a fag, he began his abuse with his clan mates to qualify. Elky himself at the time kind of sucked - his record was 2-4 against my younger brother at the time (my brother also gave up on the ladder due to the rampant cheating). Regardless, Elky would go on to impress at the LAN finals, and raise his skill to quite an impressive level. There were other KBK tournaments before Jeju as well (I believe there were two that the ladder was open for foreigners to compete in). They had less abuse and hacking then Jeju did, but were not exactly "clean tournaments". Don't remember much from them sadly - been so long. :p | ||
