Very cool - thanks for sharing. That being said, the title had me scared for a moment. I thought it was another case of match-fixing that had been uncovered.

I was thinking the same thing. For the entire first story, about the kissing girl, I was waiting for it to be revealed to be an elaborate match-fixing hoax that somehow involved the girl. Like, when she showed the sign, the guy would throw the game. Didn't make any sense when he kept winning.

imagine having Firebathero during SC2 era - it would be much more fun!

Basically MC?

Jaedong won a copy over FBH and FBH was quite envious of Jaedong.

FBH had defeated Jaedong twice in Proleague and the upcoming Lost Saga MSL group selection ceremony gave Jaedong an opportunity for revenge.

Jaedong got his wish and got FBH in his group. Jaedong humiliated FBH in the loser's match but both were knocked out.

I think one of those is wrong

Ahhhh the good old "X X PUSS HAIR"! I miss HwaSin so much.
Good we got FBH still going on and his videos in his channel are as better as his ceremonies.

FBH ceremonies were definitely the highlights during those years. Reading this post made me feel so old...

Firebathero was hilarious. The best thing about his ceremonies was when his opponents knew in advance that they were going to get humiliated, and wanted to avoid playing him at all costs.

+ Show Spoiler +

sAviOr after losing to Firebathero for the sixth consecutive game:

"I can't help but acknowledge Firebathero. I admit defeat. I can definitely feel a skill disparity, and I want to avoid playing him for the time being."

The best thing about the dynamic was that you could tell sAviOr wanted to win so badly, while Firebathero was on cruise mode thinking more about in-game ceremonies like nukes. You could sense that Firebathero treated his games versus sAviOr more as an opportunity to promote himself to the fans, rather than being a competitive affair between two professionals.

Kim Ga Eul so beautiful was by far the funniest moment I have witnessed while watching BW.

for me it's this:

Don't know if it qualifies as "while watching BW" as it took place in 2003.

Thanks for these, so much nostalgia and new stuff I didn't know. Daniel is awesome, I remember pming him about korea too because I planned to go there in the near future and he took the time to write big replies to me and I really appreciated that a lot, what a nice guy. He also posted here saying he thought people on TL would laugh at him because of his nerdy look (iirc), but, to his surprise, everyone here just liked him so much! We are all a bunch of nerds too, so of course Daniel just ended up being a legend for all of us haha. Reading his thread again is a nice nostalgia trip (Listening to Austrian music too atm, what a coincidence :p)

thank you
