pillars, could u tell us your current thoughts on scII?

Not really gonna say much about a game which is still in development. I haven't been actively involved with the project for awhile now, so I'm just as curious as you guys about how it will continue to develop.


how about reasons for stopping working there. any insights to share from your experience from the `inside`?

do you know about any other former gosus who are involved in scII?

sorry if im too inquisitive

I recently player some guy in thefear, who decided to come back to sc. When I raped him badly (and I was a huge noob in my noob clan) I think he went back to WCIII.

nice to see some older pictures. i too regret quite a bit i never carried a camera with me (the few times i did i've long since lost the pictures, maybe my mommy has some). i've been around for a long time and seen some cool stuff.

someone mentioned DaRed. I don't think he played starcraft for very long, although I knew him from red alert. it was hearing about his great success (and the moderate success of another swedish player) that convinced me to take a try at playing online poker for a living.

what a lot of you newer guys don't realize is that there's not really just "old school" and "now". i personally was still involved in the bw community almost nonstop from when the game released up until a few months after WDT and i would have considered everything that happened after the teamliquid website started way way way after starcraft's heyday

also it's kinda funny how people who were "just around", even vaguely, get remembered and lumped in with other people who were quite remarkable during their reign as players. fortunately for the sake of truthful posterity i was around long enough and known to enough people that still no one gets confused about my absolute mediocrity

pretty sure it was thor. definitely wasn't me. i was not in korea during the time that maynard, pillars, thor, and grr were in korea (although grrr was still there when i went, and maynard was there visiting and playing in WCG during that period as well). i was, however, quite envious at the time

Wow. Pillars and PEPE!. Talk about bringing back memories. I remember Maynard came and stayed at my crappy place back in the day to go to a tourney with me. And I remember the longest 1on1 game ever for me was against jeSteR at a LAN party. I think it was almost 2 hours long on Hunters. Man so long ago.

Oh wow, through this I also went through some very nice other topics.
Like this "Legionnaire, Assem etc." one http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=42816&currentpage=5

And look at that at page 5 I see Idra posting something, Nazgul quoting that but then the name is not "Idra", but "HungZerg"
So Idra used to play Zerg? And was called freaking HungZerg? lol

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Idra#Facts It's a fact!

Awesome to see these really old pictures. Must've been a blast being at the top of the game when starcraft was still young. It's also pretty incredible seeing how bad the average camera used to be. I hadn't really noticed before.
