Watching the 2006 season is like going back in time to a better place.

flash versus Jaedong 2set on Tau cross WCG was an epic game, only wish some starcraft 2 games could compare at this point

I just watched this match, it was AMAZING.

Amazing! Thx for bringing back old memories. I rewatched Oov vs Ra in 2004 Gillette OSL, pure one base back and forth aggression. I'd rather watch that 10 times in a row than a random 35 min 3 or 4 base slugfest. Those guys clearly weren't as mechanically sound as todays top players but they were artists !

2004 was approx the year I really got hooked into BW programing, until 2006/2007. When I got back to it briefly in 2009 I could never find the thrills of that 2002-2006 era. I watched Flash/Effort and Flash/jaedong finals and I found it tedious (exept the game where Effort tried to hydra bust Flash : that was ballsy). Maybe it's just that all my favorite players were gone, I don't know ...

Btw if you are afraid to loose these VODs I have a shitload of them on CDs (good ol' days :p)

This is a really good compilation, thanks for putting it together.
May I suggest to add Xellos vs Yellow on Nostalgia from 2003 Olympus OSL, they played Nostalgia twice and I believe the 5th set was the memorable one. I cannot check this unfortunately, since TLPD has only one of them.

Damn this came at an amazing time. Never was into BW until I came to this site b/c of SC2. However, now I'm starting to really be entertained by BW despite knowing little of what's going on. Hopefully watching these VoDs will help me understand what is good BW play and what is good BW strategies. Thanks for the VoD list and thanks admins for spotlighting this.

Edit: never played BW as well.

NaDa vs sAviOr @ Superfight III was the first set of pro bw game i ever saw. Man it was amazing.

I remember going onto youtube it was still a pretty new site, and I was looking for high level brood war play i could copy, and learn from. I just started really getting into playing BW competively.
I knew koreans owned at bw, but i never knew the level of it.

I was terran player since I first played the game like when it came out.(1999ish) lookin for strats, afterward I started playing zerg, and never played terran again.

I also started watching pro starcraft.

Nada owns still.

It's so crazy to see how primitive general play was in the 2001-2002 era. Macro just seemed almost nonexistent, and build orders were all over the place. Heck, at times it seemed that even a D-level player from iCCup today could competently compete during those years. It's absolutely insane to see how far the metagame has come.

Great compilation. I can't wait to watch all the VODs from 2001 to 2010.
