Anyways, i would like to thank all of you here for your continuous support to the greatest game ever, StarCraft : Brood War, of course <3
It really means a lot to see the fire and passion still so alive.
I am looking for old-school pictures, most notably of the WCG 2001 Finals vs SlayerS_`BoxeR`, and would appreciate it very much if some of you could post some in here.
Regular reward is my eternal gratitude, but you already have it, so i'll think about something specific.
there is some footage between you and boxer,sadly is not wcg 2001 but hey you have a long red hair :D by chance do you remember the nickname of the zerg player that u played the exhibition match ?
Elky it's been like ages but we didn't forget you. I even remember you from casting Nation Wars where France 5-0'ed Korea but it's another game and another story. Hope you're playing sometimes BW. Hope that someone will help you finding them. The Emperor and Desperate Terran fighting!
I would love to read/see an interview with Elky about his life back as progamer in Korea. Its so interesting seeing the vods from those OSLs, where he was the only non-korean making it into the leagues. And consistently as well.
i remember when this video first came out, and was immediately deleted by rekrul. figured out the reason was because lovedom was playing poker instead of practicing and couldnt let daniel lee have any of that hahahaha
My friends and I still refer to "Green hair hacks" when we're smurfing on each others' accounts. Awesome to see you still around and following the scene.
Try to contact somebody that did organisational stuff at WCG. I imagine for the three (or more?) times you went to WCG finals, you got acquainted with a judge or w/e from your or someone else's country. Perhaps he/she will know better or know somebody who can help you out. Maybe there was a photographer covering the finals, or maybe there wasn't. Try to think about the finals and if you remember any familiar faces that were there and might be of help for your quest.
I guess since nobody posted any from this specific event so far, there aren't relatively easily available using google, so that's what i came up with
Hi Elkantar 2001 is so far away... is it the series where you played protoss a bit because of island maps ? I remember a game on Neo Hall of Valhalla but this all very fuzzy.
hi Elky <3 I remember when I was a little kid, I watching my older brother playing BW, Then a bit later, I started playing my first ever PC game (yep, BW!). You and Didi8 were probably the biggest inspirations for me at that time. so glad to see you still kickin' somewhere.
So what happened exactly, that you want the pics? Did some hot korean girl not believe you when you said you played vs Boxer on stage or something? :D
Hey, I have some photos of a lan in Marseille you did with chobo scream and others back in 2001, and u wrecked me on Dire Strait p v z (come on...) need to get a scan for that -_-. Also you recently did a commercial with an old woman that is my friend's mother MaSsE-ChAuSsUrE here...

Goold old clan MaSsE .... I remember a guy named Masse-Todonte I really wonder what he's up to now ...
Just wanna say... if this was 1980 we would have hard photographs of the event available. I guess it's a slight pitfall to the beginning of the technology age... not many of us were smart enough to back up or save photographs, assuming they would be easily accessed. I feel we have evolved these days ^_^ But 15 years ago, little different story
I wish I had old screenshots, photos, etc from back in the day. Pretty much lost at this point :D
I did an interview with iG.Zelias and another gamer at one point as well and posted to WGTour.. can't find those either
iG.Zelias was a top Bulgarian player back in the WGTour days One of the OG Bulgarians ^^
edit: Also, since this seems to be a French centered thread, I remember getting accepted into an old French team called "alpha" ... im sure a lot of you remember them
I was about 13-14 years old and was super super happy to join, and felt super proud haha. I eventually clan hopped, but hey.. the good ol' days ^^
Thank you so much guys ! All the comments made me so nostalgic...
And great job on finding this gem SonuvBob
I was thinking, if you guys are interested, to do an AMA on Brood War times in Korea, being a progamer in early 2000s, and things like that. Perhaps dedicate one of my stream to it one day, i don't know.
Anyways, i'll be in touch, let me know what you would like to see~

In the semis, Elky nuked Gundam (a Korean) to qualify to the finals. In response, BoxeR said that he would nuke Elky to restore the Korean honor. Of course he made true on his promise.
hehe Sadly I was never able to find full games for it, only 2002 WCG
googling World Cyber Games 2001 gets a few interesting pictures tho like maybe that is someone you guys can recognize? ^^
