I recently found an old CD containing 994 replays from 2001 to 2002 that I had originally created to watch on the flight to the CompUSA MillionMan LAN event. As these are among the earliest possible replays from non-Korean competitive SC events, I figured others might be interested in taking a look at how things were different "back in the day" of a developing international scene. I'll also try to add some backstory and information on the games, but as it has been 8+ years, my memory will likely be foggy at best. :p

The event is currently scheduled to take place at:
Monday, Jan 17 8:15pm GMT (GMT+00:00) and will likely last 1-3 hours (depending on how things go).

These games are from various events such as:

* KBK
* Recon2000
* Mr.FixItOnline WCG USA qualifier
* CompUSA's first $10,000 online tournament
* etc.

It includes either myself (average player) or my younger brother (know as Wizard, WCG USA 2002 second place, CompUSA 10K 4th place, etc) against various non-Korean top names such as:

* Rekrul
* Elky
* Whear
* Liquid'Corbalt
* Tasteless (probably also Day[9] as I think he was SleepingDrone in CUSA Online?)
* Tsunami
* {PH}jeSter
* Froz
* etc

There are a few drawbacks currently however. The first is that I don't have a verified stream anywhere, so I will currently be limited to 50 viewers unless someone wants to lend me theirs. The second is that currently I am unable to change my scroll speed in SC:BW (it gives a memory access exception error) despite everything else working, so it may be a bit jerky if I can't resolve that issue.

As I remember the series of myself vs Liquid'Corbalt (RO64 in CUSA $10k online) the best, I'll likely start with that series. For the rest, I'll likely post polls while the event is going on to determine which player(s) people want to see in their 2001 to 2002 form. I'll also see if I can export a semi-full list of players later so that people can let me know if I missed someone's smurf from that time.

Not sure how interested people will be in this (if any at all), so figured I'd post this in blogs to start. If there is significant interest, mods can feel free to move this to BW General. Thanks.

wow, that's invaluable !
I just saw a thread about someone who wants to keep every single BW replay, you should contact him : http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=184123
Could you upload it ? I don't know if I'd like to watch a stream of these replays as I love to move on the minimap by myself. Of course if you can add some background information and context, that will make it definitely worth watching !

damn soon bw replays will be treated better than money, with people shelling out fortunes just to get a glimpse of what once was.

sounds awesome bluewolf! The Tsunami replays should be cool. He was the first zerg i ever saw that used defilers back then.

Hey man, this is too cool for a non-verified stream. If you cant get it verified, I ll lend you mine, or you could look into using own3d.tv which doesnt need verification (I THINK!).

Aren't old BW replays buggy/unstable? Still, would be nice if you could upload the pack. And what version of BW would this be?

Is there any chance you could upload all of them later on Megaupload or some such? I should be there to watch, unless something comes up. This is really cool, thanks

I would be interested as well. Though I doubt that you would get a high viewer number with this kind of show...

Anyway, you made sure that these replays are working correctly, right?

Just woke up, so I'll try to reply to various things here now:

I'll look into uploading the pack eventually. Currently, it won't be of much use unless I relabel most of the replays (most are titled "me win vs <player><x>.rep" or "me lose vs <player><x>.rep", where X is the number of times we had played before). I know the conditions around the majority of games based on the players nicks involved along with the time period they were played in, but would need to update all the titles or at least organize them by event to be of much use to others. As for not watching it live, I'm sure it will be recorded to watch afterwards.

Also have 1 Private Message so far with an offer to share a stream to look into as well. Could also be possible to do a restream of my base stream as well, and just link to the restream, I would think? Either way, send me a PM if you are serious and we can discuss details.

These replays are 1.09 and 1.10 - a few test ones I've tried have worked so far in those old versions. Not sure how stable this whole experiment may be?

I chose Monday as it is a holiday for most in the US, and because it would not conflict with any other event. I also picked a time I figured would still be useful for most Europeans. :p

bluewolf, would you mind jsut releasing the replays even though they are not catogeroized. i am trying to collect old replays to archive and i think these things would be gems to get. wether they are titled correctly or just random letters.

i am currently running Project replay (http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=184123) and in doing this, i have yet to auctally find many of you or your brothers replays. auctally many early replays have been lost over time due to links and webistes going dead. you're collection is a gem and i would hate to see it go away after the stream is over. anby replays you're willing to send would be amazing

I sorted players by APM, and thought I'd list out some of the players I don't recognize just in case they were previous AKAs of known players. Here are a few (most are likely players who simply retired):

Likely from KBK:
[ReD]KANGNAMGu (Z) - July 21, 2001 game
[Ooops]LaVa (Z) - July 23, 2001 game
TeStEr..[Final] (T) - Sept 15, 2001 game
sin-chang-min (P) - August 11, 2001 game, seems to be the same person from: http://www.urisai.com/starcraft/battle/sf.html

From Mr. FixItOnline WCG USA Ladder qualifier:
Justin_Gercken (Z)

From $10k CompUSA online:
Blast.Sharp (T)
GG12-mockturtle (Z/T)
Mr.Turtles (Z/T) - may be the same as above despite a large APM gap between the akas, but whoever he is, was a Z/T race picker with good skill at the time.
InTro..[TnC] (Z/T)
FearFact (Z)
BlowToss (T)
AsianDragon (Z)

Unknown event, yet to determine (likely need to research background and think on them):
Nazgul (Z) - game on March 2002. Unlikely to be the Nazgul of today, I think, unless he used to play Z?

A few notable additions to the above upon a quick 2nd look of the games as well:
Oem)ret (Z) - game on March 2002. Confirmed to be ret by: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=16833&currentpage=8#160 .

Dreame (Z)
Sindread (Z)
NewbieMcNasty (T)
Yosh (T)
SuperCondomUser / Dudey(I think) (T)
Assem (T)
Testie (T)
MarshallFaulk (P)
Liquid.Crystal (T/P)
