They are very specific and minor details but what I really enjoy so far are two things: 1) The phases of the game: Terran goes Factory FE, with a bunker in front, Toss comes with Dragoons and I assume attacks it with range upgrade, T tries to get a tank, gets it, sieges it, and P has to retreat, and the game enters into a whole different phase. I really love that, it's awesome. 2) After a progamer makes a big mistake or loses a whole ton of his army, the camera shows him trying frantically to fix the situation and make the right call. While doing that, you see his hands and shoulders move a lot, indicating that he is really using his mouse like crazy all around. (I saw this from Flash against Jangbi, and I really loved that aspect. Jangbi plays like he's stoned with a creepy smile on his face so I don't know how he reacts to that situation  ) I enjoy this a lot, really cool. | ||

think brood war must be the first video game (and probably only game) to transcend into a real life sport. | ||

1 - TvT replay of SlayerS_'BoXeR' vs "don't remember who it was actually" 2 - FPVOD of IntotheRain (i did not believe what i saw) 3 - watching sYs(DUNE) playing live in Prague (i think it was 2001). The first time i realized what does the real apm when playing bw look like. I have played SC vanilla since it came out. I had to buy additional 12MB RAM memory to be able to play it without lag. I mean this has to be love, if you play the same game for that long. | ||

When high school came I lost interest in baseball and although I still ran cross country and played basketball in some church leagues from time to time, adding in another form of competition wasn't bad at all. That's where Brood War came in. I'll never forget the feelings I got from Brood War. You all know what I'm talking about. Where you beat that Korean with a really good record or that "known" player, and you know that it was all because of the hard work you've put into the game. I remember the first time I got to D+, C-, C, etc. I was always so happy because I was able to endure all of the frustrating losses (and believe me, there were a ton of them) and was able to grow as a player. I still remember the first time I hit B-. By then I was only playing Koreans and I went like 13-1 in one day to get from C to B-, and man it felt amazing. Like, everything just clicked. I was playing super, super well and that first time I was able to join the Ladder A-B channel, it was a surreal experience. And you know, B- against Koreans isn't bad at all. I was really proud of my play and felt really confident playing my style. But I never, ever got cocky.... On a cold day in December of 2009, the new iCCup season had just started. I remember my second game of the ladder I played a Korean Zerg whose name was just random letters. I did my little timing attack that had been working perfectly... only to get it shut down. The Zerg ended up going 3 Hatch Muta into 5 Hatch Hydra. His Muta control was amazing and he picked off all my HT's with ease to the point where he just easily won by attack moving his Hydralisks over my bridges on Destination. That Zerg was a pro-gamer (at the time, of course) by the name of Luxury. And ever since that, my attitude towards the game changed. I no longer viewed myself as good because compared to the Korean pros, we're all bad. There's no reason to go around bragging about your play because there's always someone out there who can completely smash you. That's not to say that you can't be happy with success - that's perfectly fine - but never start to get content with your play, always work on improving on something. Of course I've made so many friends over this game and have talked about so many random subjects (girls, religion, etc.) that it just means so much to me. I really, really hope that SC2 can fill this role some day. Only time will tell. I was going to write something like this as well. | ||

While that remains true for me, today I can also say that never have I lost a game before it lost me. In these dark ages of Brood War, one can only hope for its renaissance. Brood War forever - the one game. | ||
