I remember when i was 13, freezing my ballz off infront of the only internet cafe nearby, waiting for it to open on a saturday morning so my buddy and i can get a pc each to play bw.

At 10am the fucker finally opens the door from the inside, only to tell us to fuck off because he had a girl over and wasnt gonna open shop that day... I was so angry and impressed at the same time haha

Long live BW, its one of the examples of humans reaching their potentials, both the makers and the players.

Happy Birthday Starcraft. Not a game but easily the best Starleague intro. Always gets me pumped:

Better than ever. This current meta is pretty neat. Honestly thought the games have been better and better and almost all winners up until this KSL season.

Hope they manage to keep it up next year. Dreaming of a day we have two tournaments running at the same time multiple times in the year.

Happy Birthday!!!
It's insane if I think about the fact that this game accompanied me almost 2/3 of my life already (and counting). I still remember the first times I played StarCraft in a PC bang with friends, of course on BGH :D Hardcore turtling and teching to Carriers/BC's. Thank you for the memories!

Was introduced to BW during the GOM Avertec-Intel Classic S2 by a friend in 2008 and was instantly hooked by the depth of the game and the plethora of personalities involved. Soon I was watching Proleague weekly without English commentary.

Favourite player moment: Batoo OSL final. I remember parking my WoW character in the Exodar and connecting to that nice nostalgic OGN source url via Windows Media Player only to watch Jaedong seem helpless against Fantasy's Vulture play in the first 2 games, then somehow turning the situation on its head and masterfully reverse sweep him for his 2nd OSL win.

Favourite personal moment: The Winner's League in 2010 which FPL 10 covered. I got assigned a boring internship for school that lasted a few months. BW helped me get through it - whenever I was left alone for extended periods of time, I'd load up the ol' OGN url on VLC and have it play in the background (I was allowed to have earphones). Checking results and the FPL table became a daily ritual, and it was always nail-biting praying for Jaedong Oz to sweep. I finished 3rd overall and was pretty happy with myself since it was my first (and last, RIP) FPL. I even got a mention in a TL BW article as I was tied with 1 other person for highest number of points accquired from trading in that FPL. I was really into BW then.

Happy, well-deserved 20th anniversary BW! What a gem of a game to exist.
MMOs kill APM. However Proleague plus BW Proscene music increase APM -> 100. 이제동 Fighting! Highest ranked Jaedong owner in FPL10 = clearly #1 Jaedong fan~! <- Keeping my sig from 2010

I got hooked on BW early 2008, and then joined TL forum later that year. BW helped me survive PhD. I would stay really really late at night to watch proleague or starleagues trying desperately connect to daum player, or whatever it was called.

Favorite moment was when I watched Flash win over Jeadong in MSL final 3:0. I remember, we went out with friends to a club. I got back around 3:30 am; took 1 hour nap, and got up to watch my favorite player live up to his hype. I stayed till 9 am posting on TL and celebrating!

The game that made me into Flash fan was the one against Bisu on Katrina.

Many favorite moments, from first playing with friends in middle school, to Starcraft64, to rediscovering the games among enthusiastic friends in college, to late night sessions on no rush maps and 3v3 BGH Free [fill in the blank], to learning how to PortForward to be able to host games, to following the pro scene with its history, drama, personalities, and indie rock music, to, to...the list goes on. I guess into a continuing love for the broader sc scene including sc2, and a revived broodwar scene. Too many good games, here is a first person VOD that still leaves me in awe:

Heres some of my favourite videos and games from the past 20 years.



This was definitely a great one at the time, because he went on to win that OSL taking down Stork getting revenge for the first ever OSL finals I saw the 2008 Incruit OSL. All the matches in that final were amazing too, especially the pathfinder game.



FlaSh vs FanTaSy in the BigFile MSL on Polaris Rhapsody. Absolutely fantastic game.




FlaSh vs Firebathero

Both fantastic TvTs from my personal favourite ERA of BW (although I only started watching in 2008.



Another epic TvT between FanTaSy, but this time with HiyA!

I think you've made a mistake, two of the videos didn't feature Fantasy

(You really love your TvTs eh?)

My favorite moments in BW came during sAviOr's time, and back in the day when SlayerS_`BoxeR` was in his prime, to me those were the golden days, but I am really glad to be where we are today, with the matchmaking and Blizzard continuing to help BW move forward, I wonder if we will have any private ladder servers soon? :-P

I remember one of the first games of BW I played. It was a 3v3 on Hunters back in 2000. A guy from the team told me how to make DTs and then I was supposed to leave the DT to do its thing in a mineral line. And I was hooked, just like that.
Such an amazing game, wide variety of memories and frustration with it. Best game for me, doubtless.

I played BW as a child but never anything more than campaign and single player(back in early 2000's) fast forward many years and i stumbled upon this website called teamliquid after playing nothing but fps and mobas for years. I got so excited when i realized how big BW was and immediately searched up stuff to watch. Luckily proleague was on and the first ever live game I watched was Jaedong vs fantasy on sin chup un ryong or whatever where he used queens and ensnare to crush fantasy, at the time I didn't understand how epic it was but damn. Probably my best memory. Other than that there is sooooo much greatness that I cant choose between them all.

Jaedong fucking beast

Proleague was what made me stick with Broodwar and why when I decided to host tournaments I wanted to do a proleague for the global scene :D
