In the beginning. terran was always considered the weakest race—humans stepped hesitantly into the cold and unfriendly battlefield, unready yet wary of the dangerous foes which awaited them. Naturaly disadvantaged, humans exhibited none of the natural physical strength or ability or their Protoss and Zerg foes. But one man, undaunted, ventured into the unknown, and found success where others had failed. The Terran had found their leader—their emperor, and his people were won over by his innovation and charisma. The sons of the human kingdom eagerly learned under him, and the strength of the Empire grew.

With his eventual fall of their leader, the Terran would find new leaders to rally behind and prosper. They learned to macro. They learned to dominate. After many years of progress, the enemies of the Empire witnessed spectacular change. Mechanically sound, these modern day terrans were nothing like their pioneer ancestors; they did not fear, and grew confident underneath strong leadership.

However, the Empire plunged into chaos—with the lack of a figurehead, Aiur’s forces and the Overmind ran rampant through the humans. The Age of the one perfect terran—that perfect war machine, seemed past its time. Many modern day terrans exhibited aspects of their founders, but were ultimately not well-rounded enough. They displayed their own flair, whether it be immaculate control or clockwork unit production, and all proudly carried the Empire’s banner; but sadly, each fell short of perfection.

On their home planets, the Protoss and Zerg enjoyed the brief lull in human activity. But the silence told nothing. Rumors ran rampant within each race, and paranoia as well. They wondered if a revolution was at foot, and it was spreading that the Empire was rallying back. Their suspicions were confirmed; the coming autumn marked the return of the Terran people.

The Resurrected Lieutenant

Sea[Shield]

Guess who’s back?


No newcomer for sure, Yum Bo Sung first broke through many years ago. Widely respected for his success at the Zerg front, he eventually fell back into obscurity because he faltered most without his faithful comrades and when he was on his own. His troop, though, found new energy in his resurgence; his astounding victories in dealing with enemy human Dominions and even the Tyrant himself brought new hope to the Empire.

The Juggernaut Commodore

Really

[image loading]
Orly? Yarly, motherfucker.


Gaining momentum, the Juggernaut Terran has been rampaging through the Protoss forces, leaving little in his wake. Impressively, he has been victorious in his last ten battles versus Aiur. His cold, calculating decision making backed by steady reinforcement has left the Empire raising eyebrows. Performing exceptionally for his homelands of eStro, Park Sang Woo earned the respect of the Empire, and eagerly awaits to draw Protoss blood.

The Strategist

Leta

Cute.

Shin Sang Moon’s domination within 2009 astounded his people and bewildered his foes. Clean usage of the Terran arsenal, sometimes unorthodox, continually left his enemies bewildered and humiliated on the battlefield. Charismatic, Leta has become the very face of the Sparkyz, and when the frost set in and conditions become inhospitable, Shin Sang Moon has reinvigorated his play and is quickly approaching his old level of domination.

With much more talent making its way up through Terran ranks, except those which came from the radioactive desert outpost of Woongjin,the revolution was here. A leader had risen forth: their perfect terran, their war machine, their ultimate weapon.

Their Commander

Flash

[image loading]
This caption played Flash, and was utterly destroyed.

His rebirth in the autumn of 2009 marked the return of the Empire. Though never one to falter tremendously, he had his uncertain periods and people questioned his ability to win more titles. It was this autumn where he took those doubts, smashed them into pieces, and scattered them through the universe. With the ushering in of this new leader, the Empire would rise to the top. His fluid defenses could only be described as perfection, his unstoppable offense unchallengable. In the winter of 2009 and 2010, Aiur and the Overmind knew. Their times were over; the Age of Terran had just begun. All trembled. All feared. All respected:

Much inspired from a whole week at 999posts and just waiting for the right idea, I really wanted to write something special—not just one of those other terrible threads that I have created. I have never been really one to contribute much to the forum, but I inexplicably spend much of my time on it. This article is just my way of doing justice to some of my favorite terrans on the scene right now and giving back to the teamliquid community; please feel free to disagree with the content itself. I hope everybody enjoys my 1000th post.

Fantasy deserves to be listed there even if you hate him, come on.

Awesome otherwise!

Nope, Fantasy doesn't belong here. I fully support you TS.

Care giving any arguments to why Fantasy doesn't belong there?

If you don't like fantasy and so you don't want to put it there, fine, but saying he doesn't belong is just nonsense. He was considered 2nd best Terran for quite a while (some even considered him to be 1rst when Flash was slumping). He brought change to PvZ and his PvT was always awesome to watch due to his vulture and dropship play.

Fun read. I fully support the resurgence of the Terran race, even if it's pretty much limited to the Proleague so far (other than Flash ofcourse)

Grrr.... This is exactly why I was pretty much the only zerg player who welcomed the Protoss Golden with open arms. SC has been dominated by terrans since the beginning. Three (And now potentially four) of the four bonjwas (Now potentially five) were terran. You've had sooo much, yet you're not satisfied and you want more and more and more! Truly a terran mentality. Damn stinkin' humans.
