I've been away from the Brood War community every since the start of SC2 but with this date coming up I wanted to look back at some classic VOD's and my god have I missed BW. So many memories came to mind. Good ones like spamming IRC like crazy when Jaedong won and sad ones like when I decided to stop rooting for Hwaseung Oz after Jaedong gave them a 3-0 lead in the 2009 PL finals, only to have them lose because no one else on the team could win a game. I started cheering for mbcgame hero after that... at least I'd know what to expect from them.

As for a game I'd recommend. I wasn't REALLY around for the boxer era. I really became invested at about the same time as Bisu, JD, and Flash rose to power. And the best game I ever saw was a game between JD and Flash. This game is insane. JD takes an early lead and sneaks a third just by Flash's base, that goes unscouted. It all looks over. Then Flash starts these pure mnm pinching attacks and JD looks defeated, only to come back. Insane doesn't begin to describe it.

Thanks, that was such a good game! I thought JD was done for and I was complaining to myself about how wide open and hard to defend Rush Hour is. And suddenly JD switched from lurkers ling dark swarm to hydra lurk plague and turned the tide!

Also, everyone looked so young!

So were we.....

Rush Hour game is one of their best games imo, just so memorable. Happy Bday BW!

Been a lurker for so many years.. unlurking to celebrate! Thanks BW and TL so much for being here! Will never forget the streams and TL Attacks with Chill.. so many names and events come to mind that I'll just keep my mouth shut and have a nice nostalgic evening with Nevake.

Thank you. Much love.

The legendary Flash vs Jaedong rivalry is what really defined the game for me during my first years playing/following the game. I don't think any story-line has come close to what they achieved during their time as rivals and their 2010 games from the WCGs are still some of my favourite of all time, and on top of that Flash won his golden mouse in their finals at Korean Air S2.
