does anyone remember when the entire KTF team smurfed on wgtour and people were trying to figure out who they were based on replays

that was one of the funnest threads, Nada was like 33-3 with very few games going over 20 minutes, Yellow was like 99-7 or something insane

It just motivates foreigners to get better, also way more exciting to watch some games between foreigners and korean top players. We could see foreigners practicing more for sure.

I dunno how people can fault anyone for moving to SC2 from BW..

Day9, tasteless, artosis, all these other people that get critiziced for the strangest things, had been playing BW, fueled by passion for over a decade by the time SC2 came out and all these oppurtunities to make a living came along.

SC2 is a great game too, it's the most modern RTS out there and it's created a lot of epic moments/gameplay on really big platforms and since it came out Esports has only grown each year....

But for people who literally grew up with brood war, and loved it so much that they travelled the world to play tournaments, and grasp at straws just to be able to do anything for the game they loved, you should only be happy they are coming back at the first chance they get to experience this game again in modern times.

For years, there was hardly a playerbase left, Brood War didn't run well on modern pc's and there were definitely not any tournaments. It was really difficult to come back to try and play that in a completly dead scene, compared to sc2 which had tournaments every month, and wasn't a bad game to begin with.

SC:Remastered is ensuring that there might be a competitive environment for BW again, And I hope to see everyone come back and play because it's going to be fucking awesome. Those people we all grew up with while playing the game with and against each other, they are friends. Throughout the years everyone went their own way, a lot of people in sc2 or other esports related jobs, and a lot of people in academic carreers or other 'real world' carreers. A lot of us lost touch. I look forward to play with all my friends again in a game that all of us love...That's the most exciting part about all of this.

Even though i've played SC2 for 6 years, for me personally, it was never the same as BW. I had a really good time travelling, competing, playing countless tournaments everywhere. Being part of such a highly competitive scene was really fun, no matter what the game was. In the first few years the entire WC3 scene and BW scene came together and everyone tried their best at this new game, it was exciting as hell. Competition is a huge part for anyone who gets into difficult RTS games to try and improve himself. So it didn't matter that the game was sometimes stale, lots of great games were happening too in SC2. But it could never compare to the pure love you felt when you were a child trying to play BW and create art..

Nada was skyinthesea. I do actually vaguely recollect something about some of the smurfing koreans being caught hacking but I'm not certain enough to confirm nada was one of them.

He also lost against Liquid`Venice during that wgtour run, which I genuinely believe is the only time progamer Nada ever lost against a player with less than a third of his apm.

I don't know if I fully agree with this. Nothing much came out of including Scan in TLC. Rather, there was a lot of outrage despite mentioning several times that including him was for testing purposes. I think the result of adding top KR players would be similar. Only difference I can see is that with more activity (assuming SC:R helps the scene greatly), there might be more players around for practicing with etc... but I don't see it making that much of a difference tbh.

Enough vs intotherain are some of the best classical pvz games ever (on LT).
