I remember watching you and Thor on TV several years ago, but I never knew who either one of you were until now.

During the PKO, you were the one who Kim Tae Hyung (the younger of the OGN commentators with glasses) walked up to and held this amazing conversation with during pre-game time:

Tae Hyung: WEE-UH YOO PU-RUM?

Pillars: United States.

Tae Hyung: ...

So awkward and funny

By the way, you can see Gundam behind Grrr in one of the pictures

ZeeRaX and Mr.X, this is from their warcraft days, but they were fucking awesome at Starcraft.
I actually remember sitting next to ZeeRaX when he played Pillars one night maybe 8 or more years ago.

Haha back then I had never played an online computer game. Not because I was too young... just wasn't into it at all (nobody had really introduced me to it)

Its so good to see great players like Pillars again you guys are forgetting so many important figures though!! I cant believe you!

Some of the best damn players ever (old school) minus the ones already mentioned:

[o]ishmael - Probrably one of the best protoss players and followed by many.. cant believe nobody mentioned him yet!

[s]Thuggy - This kid was amazing.. a must to put on here. How can u forget thuggy =P

Kinzerg+)3esT - Kid was from 99-01 days and has the SICKest zerg on vanilla. Dunno what happened to him though.

St_EaGle..!! aka MasteR_[EaGlE] and Golban'XEaGlE

What about NEWBIEMCNASTY!!!! omg

You missed Whear too

Others worth noting most definately too: (in no order)...

{PH} team, [s] team, [o] team, !z! team, (orky)oTTer, Sauron..!!, [vip]Dream aka Tosky~Storm aka Chris_Low, MasteR_[JiM], [iDEF]Kosh, IN-Python, Asmo, RaynOr[AKUTA], [NC]...nO.1, Kim$Dong$Woo, !Z!jolly, Ro`LeX~ pro team, [o]Mr.X, [hive]-wraith``, [5th]Fire, bashkir, sataniK, Hope:+)3esT, [t]Fearfact aka FeArFaCt, Spunky, AranG, DIDI8, SKELTON, GGMAN, [n]NicKy, [n]Or@nGe, [iDEF]Br@d, !z!jjang, sVEN, SlayeR, Elky, Smuft, Fennec-the-fox, tsu, soso, montaro, maynard, crexis, whear, smackyosh, MediouS, N.sL)_RinG, [z-zone]TeRrAn, [z-zone]Byun, Thor, X'Ds~Cherry, X'Ds~killA, X'Ds~CheetaH, X'Ds~Fire, SLush, Kiwi, [iM]DaMaN, [i'm]korean (andy), [i'm]cloud, [i'm]kek`, [B_Blade]Anyppi, [B_Blade]Marine, NTT, [o]Rekrul, [SA]Prays4u, BOO, PEPE, Mage,..(Myst).., Episode:-=V=-, Episode:Nexus, Stratus, Stranix, TilleRMaN, TheMarine, [006]Trevelyan

I am forgetting alot more, but you get the picture :D The old days are gone, brings back so many memories, and to me, with the people listed above, that was STARCRAFT and those days were the best enjoyable times i've ever had playing. It seemed to fade when [GG99]SlayeR made his mark as the all time world champion starcraft player (i think he still is if he played again). Either Slayer or Pillars = #1 IMO. Anyways, with no replays out to ruin SC/BW, those days you had to work hard and pay attention. R.I.P the old school =]

Oh man, good work. I feel like you randomly had all of those names already compiled on some word document from like 1997 - 2003 though. Heh.

"Either Slayer or Pillars = #1 IMO."

This is nowhere near true...during my prime I'd place myself among the top foreigners, but at no point was I ever the #1 foreigner.

"Anyways, with no replays out to ruin SC/BW, those days you had to work hard and pay attention."

This is an important comment. It was certainly very exciting to play the game 'in the dark' as it were, and to be part of the community while people were still figuring out optimal play. In some sense, naturally talented players had a greater edge back then since they could make up for slightly inferior technical skills with creative overall game plans / situational awareness / tactical ability.

Thanks for bringing up 50+ additional names / tags =].

Pretty sick pictures and memories in here. I wish I bought a $12 camera back in 2001 to take some pictures of my pro gaming moments in Korea. Hard to believe this game has 10 years of history now.

Couple of forgotten names

IN-Lameking, SuperCondomUser (TF-Kevin?), Zileas, Crazyjim and Giggles

K@boom! on kali (aka [LD]2, aka MannerCookie)

Clans Imports\"/ and ~Lizard are also not forgotten.

Btw this thread really isnt complete without an orange haired elky pic, someone post pls.
