Amazing write up. I was actually going to write one like this next week but you did it better than I ever could. -.-;; I would like to add this game to the shine shrine because it has forever inspired me for lategame ZvP
This thread, and the discussion it caused, made me realize how much I like the Brood War Teamliquid forums. It's a really pleasant community. Great website, great discussion!
Edit: You have to love how Shine, who is known for going all in, 4 pooled a guy who was playing his last match before retirement... and then he says he did it because he had to go to the toilet, rofl.
I'd have let you do it Xenocide_Knight, I didn't know until someone said it you were such a big Shine fan. :D
And vOdToasT, which player was that? For someone who spent a bunch of hours researching Shine's games and writing this, I seem pretty out of the loop on all the fun Shine stories T_T
When I first started watching sc1 about three years ago Shine was one of the first players that caught my eye. Normal response to corsairs? Make a few scourge and lots of hydras. Shine's response to corsairs? Make more mutas and scourge and have amazing micro and flanks to win.
I've always had a special thing for Shine after that time he made the power rank solely on the basis of knocking out Bisu or Stork or whatever happened in that OSL and everyone flipped shit over it.

I can't particularly remember that but it was probably the OSL where he beat Bisu and Stork as well as passing the group with himself, Fantasy, Effort, and Calm. :D

[Oops]Cloud, if I remember correctly. I believe the map was Fortress.

I'll try and think of something that won't overlap with your post ^^ btw I want to point out that Shine is an awesome dude in person unlike a certain Khan Protoss player.
I'll concede this, I like your portrayal of him, your thread was very informative and funny.
However what he has done to Bisu cannot be forgiven. I respect his skills as a player but not as a player. Roro and hyvaa both fall in the same category

Sounds nice. We'll have to make sure to get them both on the sidebar at the same time to make sure any newcomers think Shine is the absolute biggest thing in BW :D
