Holy shit I started watching sc at the end of 08 and I TOTALLY remember watching him say that (on violetak maybe?). I had read about him being a BEAST before and was he was the first guy I rooted for until I watched Jaedong play.

Thanks for this montage btw. Its truly amazing

Since all the appreciation and admiration we all share has been taken care of by the previous 12 pages, have some constructive criticism.

I'm a huge fan of Touhou and a huge fan of professional Brood War, and I love the fact that you used some of the best doujin covers for the soundtrack, but is there so little fitting music outside of Touhou that you had to dominate them all with it? Touhou covers invoke emotions by themselves to those who have played the games or are at least familiar with the original music, and with them all combined I was left wondering which game I was getting hyped for.

Might only be a problem for a very small number of people, but still, something to be conscious of when making your next series. It's important to be consistent so I wouldn't blame you if you kept Touhou in charge of background music for the upcoming parts of this one. Good work so far.

Ha, time to revive this! I will skip part 6 on my list for the time being (see OP), so the next part will be the one dedicated to Boxer, the Terran Emperor.

Similiar concept to part 5, which was dedicated to Savior:
I will not only focus on all the crazy stuff Boxer came up with ingame (there is already more than enough about that anyway: Youtube highlight vids, TL writeups, the SCLegacy Pimpest Play lists, etc.), but also focus on all the great stories he was involved in.
- Like his rivaly vs Yellow, his Mentor-vs-Protegé relationship to OOV, the incident during the OSL Finals vs Garimto, him building up SKT T1 together with OOV, Intotherain and Kingdom, military / ACE and his comeback, . . .

100% true. I only really started thinking about this myself during the creation of part 4. A few problems I had / still have regarding this issue include the following:
My overall concept was to stick to video game related music, since I obviously do not want to use music of 'popular, commercial, etc.' bands due to copyright and stuff like that. Anything with vocals does not really fit either, in my opinion.
So I aimed for video game covers from people like FamilyJules7X (Youtube) and, as you pointed out, way to much stuff from Touhou doujins. Using Song of Storm in combination with Jangbi's storms was a good idea at least. ^^

In part 5 I only used the two songs made by Savior fans. I will definitely keep the use of music to a minimum from now on.

The next / upcoming part will definitly include 'Ride of Valkyries' by 'The Crescents' as bgm (which is a song dedicated to Boxer, in case anyone is not familiar with this one).

This is the work of a bloody amateur, me, who only has a very limited understanding of making these kind of videos (or making videos in general). So any form of criticism is always welcome. ^-^/

"- After accomplishing the goal?
Flash: "I'm going to switch races. (laughs) I'm not kidding.""

I didn't see that statement before now, but I would love to see Flash switch to Zerg in BW, and see what kind of innovations he could come up with.
