Really interesting to read about those days, not having experienced it myself and all. Also really grounding to read about people with such talent, hard work, and focus. It's the sort of thing I wish I could do myself, but find myself only admiring in others. 10/10! | ||

I remember following these games when they happend and damn it was an exciting time, and very impressive results. I always did feel that victor could've gotten a lot more out of brood if he wanted to. nice write-up! I'm so sorry for all the hardship. I always had to come up with something else to make sure I started ahead against the macro beast you were.

I could rely on your memory and knowledge for so much of my career. Thank you <3 On July 23 2021 22:01 Liquid`Drone wrote: The build he made for playing you on jungle story was amazing. I think that was probably the first conscious protoss use of a lingproof wallin in any competition - it wasn't done to help with a fast expand, but to help give absurdly fast tech. This makes me a bit sad to think about. I'm pretty sure this is the 2003 WCG qualifier. I was in the best shape of my life having practiced the WCG maps such a crazy amount with you and everyone else. If I recall correctly Ret suffered from it in the NL qualifier on Jungle Story but then they changed the maps shortly before the actual finals and instead of my best result I got my worst result at WCG. Lol sick did you? My memory is so fuzzy but it is great to hear from you again!!! On July 28 2021 07:47 RowdierBob wrote: Thanks for this. As a BW oldy I remember those days well! I used to study Naz's series vs Boxer for hours to try learn how to PvT properly. Naz was always a very big proponent of using speed shuttles in late game PvT and all these years later the mass speed shuttle PvT style is finally vindicating him :D Speed shuttles and shield batteries.. took a long time for them to see their due. | ||

I upgraded to hotkeys haha. You have always been amazing Naz! Great to see an article like this telling a good portion of your journey in life & Brood War. Highlighting it for the modern players and fans is a must. | ||

Reading through the article, and there was so much details. Yet I feel like we all were in our early 20's and were really hyperactive. If you think about it, Naz was additionally doing real work for the community. Sometimes I would come back from my university classes and Naz would have sent me a list of ladder abusers to ban, it was when online alternative ladders blew up suddenly and one man could not track it all anymore. It meant a lot, and indirectly, what he did for Team Liquid, also had a community building impact in other places, like WGtour, PGtour, etc... Very few player had that special class. A special maturity, it was a mix of unconditional confidence in his skills, but an incredible down to earth attitude which is not to be confused with false modesty. I am very happy that the success story, continues and that is this article is just a good reminder of how we got here, but we know the other half of the story begins. Let me quote the end of the new Dune movie. "This is only the beginning" | ||
