Since you guys brought some tears to my eyes by bringing up some *really* old school names in a previous thread, I figured I'd post some old pictures from various tournaments / my time in Korea to put some faces to the names...

[image loading]

He popularized the style, yeah. I really enjoyed playing against him and his aggressive approach as it made for some extremely exciting / technically skillful games.

Left Blizzard 4-5 months ago, still trying to figure out what I want to do next. Might head back to school, or do some volunteer work abroad. Right now I'm just living with an old friend back in Massachusetts and playing poker for a living.

Yeah, I forget if it was 2000 or 2001. I didn't end up making the trip to Korea for the finals though, as I had school coming up, I hate long plane rides, and unless I dedicated like three straight months to getting back in highly competitive shape I didn't have much of a shot of winning.

SOSO! YOU FORGOT SOSO! Unless I missed him in one of the pics.

That's awesome that you shared. There isn't a whole lot left from that time, but that was really the height of non-Korean gaming. Since then, we've just been trying to follow the same path and falling further and further behind.

Froz didn't attend the year that I won. It was 2000 I think. Sindread and Jester were there, yes. They probably just showed up in 2001 as well when you went and Froz won.

St.Eagle was the one who revolutionized TvP right? (With vultures instead of marines).

He was also the one that got raped by GARIMTO on Vortex (love that game).

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.

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

]N[exuS team, [jOypOp]^AssA^, [Gag]SKELTON, [Gag]1000PrO, a5-KANGNAMGU, [NC]... team, ..[TnC] team, =[aBs]=, SaFT, Dealer, A-X team, {PH}, Old school Liquid`, 1st~, ~Storm, chupas, CoP~Hero, 1st~Goro, 1st~KaBaL

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.

Pillars that was just my opinion of the times back then. I always thought it would either be between you or =[aBs]=SlayeR =P

But your right, because then you have all of the other top foreigners too who played just as well. I dunno, its a hard call, but you win games and lose games, thats the whole functionality of the glorious game

Dreame,Spunky,Arang,Yosh,Op[e]n, uNiT.. they were all in vC)_# I forgot how it was formed though since they were American and Korean players lol. Then there was AKARAKA and [kor] clan. [kor]-Red_RocK, [kor]-Flymarine, [kor]-oddysay <-- godly terran

at least I remember :D except for matzerg and FA_snowbird
I remember obsing lots of games of [DEF]IRONMAN aka iron-the-feared aka RoOkiE[pG], that guy was so skilled, and I sooo miss Kalaschni. He was one of those macro zergs, comparable to Blackman. Back then nation wars were a lot more fun than today, it wasn't just 4 1on1s and that's it. I remember germany played USA and Canada with like 12 1on1s each.

not only does it have a thriving community now, but it has an amazing history with SO many talented players... it's just incredible, not many games can produce that kind of popularity/commitment.

Trek, I always thought ZealoT was pretty good especially for back in that time. I remember watching him ZvP and ZvZ alot of amateur koreans back then and he raped them. He also beat a lot of known gamers too. He may not have been the best of course, but was decent IMO

You may still be able to find his replays, although they will prob be broken.

Interesting thread. Some thoughts:

- Pillars you look fabulous getting into that dress.
-eVERLAST berating Maynard (observe the finger!) is classic.
- I've always suspected a touch of manlove between Grrrr... and Maynard -- now I have proof.
- Chaplan looks too clean and well groomed to have ever been a good gamer (just kidding, you were great at Guild Wars!).
- Red is most definitely not ElkY's color.

PliX: I think we've met before. Read PM please.

You can figure out the other half.

He was also one of the best foreign 2v2 players in the world, yo. Not his fault team play got little to no recognition in the BW universe. He got tons of respect from other top players 'in the know', however.

Speaking of his Guild Wars skillz, he was actually hired by Arena.net over a year ago and is working out there in Seattle as a game designer.

Yeah, I remember you Lizards. I had a run in with CrazyJim at one point, but overall I really respected his skill; he was one of the more talented 'lesser known' players back then.

Ahahaha oh man that's adorable =]. Yeah I used Lobotomy as my nick when playing in the first KBK tournament. Seeded 4th out of 128 in the preliminaries, but only managed to make it to the top 32 in the tournament itself. Jolly made it the further out of all the foreigners, making it to the round of 8 before losing a ZvP match.

Single-elimination tournaments were rough justice, and were the norm back then.

No comment on the looking fabulous in that dress part of my post? I thought that was pretty good, better than my friendly little jab at Chaplan.

Chaplan's my buddy and we speak regularly. I know he works for Arena.net

Hmmm.
I couldn't figure the comment out, though.
Are you saying I looked good BEFORE I got into the dress, or after? Or do you think I look good without the dress, but even better with the dress? Are you asking me on a date?

PM me for more pics.

Villert was cool, but he did bottom feed his way to that ladder win

I know all the names but only ever talked/played with the danes/swedes/norwegians..

thx! u legend ;D

ye swedes were sexy that year,
btw there was a movie of didi going rampage cause he lost he was really mad, dont remember if it was that year or the year after but i laughed my ass off ;D didi seemed hot-tempered


The most known case was when he broke his keyboard after he lost an hour+ game against Boxer in WCG.
Not very related: I remember the Boxer mass blind on observers PP was against Didi8.
I'll call Nada.

lol, I was in a clan with nanogirl.. recognize a few of the names up there. Last I heard she was working for a computer gaming company (maybe 5 years ago?) who picked her up from online handle recognition in her app.

You should have seen him when he was wearing his sunglasses... Oh that reminds me he cheated his way into korea.

Also part of this nostalgia trip is the good, the bad and the ugly. Guess Elky has two out of three.
1. NTT - Best Brood War player in the history of the game. Also totally awesome and super sweet. Some ego problems.

Wow so great nostalgia.
I basically remember EVERY single name on that list, back when I was 13 to 14 and played Kali and all those smurfs in the KBK times and so on. I think out of the list there is nobody I haven't played

Starcraft will probably remain the best game ever, no matter what graphics and features they will add to future games, the excitement and adrenaline will remain unmatched.

Thanks Pillars, I have a so many pictures from back in the days, might upload them one sunny day.
Cheers to all ppl on that list, got a place in my heart reserved for those memories.

Villert was cool, but he did bottom feed his way to that ladder win

I know all the names but only ever talked/played with the danes/swedes/norwegians..


remember seeing his nick in the finals of some big tour
was it combined nor-dnk wcg prelim where he met sven in finals? or am i totally wrong?

ah, and remember watching vod at broodwar.com where pillars play pvp on dire and one of the players win with mass carrier : )

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

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.

What a thread. I remember RushWizard, that guy was so much fun to watch with his constant raiding and harrassment.

eVerlast was the shit. Reminds me of that epic end of ladder race to finish first on the bnet ladder.

Oh eVERLAST. I remember I played that guy once in some tourney and barely won. I also remember breaking my CD after losing a 2on2 tourney with Maynard in the round before we would have been flown to Sweden. Woulda loved to have seen some Swedish girls.

I remember vividly the time when a bunch of those old school players were in Korea in the same team.

In late 2002 early 2003 a team called AMD Dream Team was competing in the Korean proleagues and consisted of the following players:
Grrr...
Elky
Nazgul
Smuft
Jinnam
Jinsu
V-Gundam

Good times...

I use to really like montaro. He was super old school, and had his own website where he would talk about his games. I think it was www.montaro.org or something. Was alot of fun!

Also gotta rep kain-the-feared for being local to edmonton. He was really really good.

hah awesome thread, i remember all those names; i feel old. every 6 months ago i watch some of the old reps; watched grrrr vs fish @wcg 01 or 02 the other day. these guys were so much more entertaining to watch than the mono-style of play most players succumb to now days.

be cool to know what they are up to - Slayer/Sven/Fish/Grrr/NTT/Nazgul/Maynard etcetc...

Oh wow i remember watching replays of these players. Every name is telling me something. Sven and Slayer - really great players. First "gosus" i saw live was sYs(DUNE) and Satanik and i was like wtf, these guys are fast. I remember talking with Satanik about Magic the Gatherings - wow that is nostalgy

Some more pictures of old gamers from CompUSA's tournaments back in ~2000 or 2001.

I talked to Kain afew days ago actually, he'll be messing around on SC2 but probably wont be back with serious gaming, since hes pretty busy with Poker/DJing.

My brother actually went to school with Sven. They used to hang out all the time, and as a result our families know each other really well. I met both Sven and Slayer on several occasions, though I've rarely seen them play. Last I heard Slayer went over to playing poker, but that's a couple of years back and he might be doing something else at the current time. As for Sven, I think he's studying.

Here's a norwegian documentary (with english subtitles) that follows Slayer as he ventures abroad to Korea where he participate in the Korean PGL tournament. The documentary also features Sven's input on the game. Really oldschool shit right here.

it's too bad there is no pictures of GoRush, he's the one that won wcg2000. [GG99]Slayer were definitely the best foreigner until he stopped broodwar, he was always beating Elky in final.

I'll have to look around and see if I can find the pics from the i2e2 tourney in Cleveland that X'Ds sent 2 teams (1 for BW, 1 for some FPS at the time I can't remember) but {PH}jEsTeR ended up winning (along with every other i2e2 tournament just about). Kinda funny that I played him a bunch on Kali the night before trying to practice and he rick rolled me. Ended up getting 6th, which wasn't bad considering the competition (Jester, IN-Lameking, X'Ds~Cherry, X'Ds~Rook I think, X'Ds~Crow was there as well but I don't recall him playing.)

Wow - so much nostalgia. I used to play with Chap n Ren back in the good ole days of Kali and Starshack. Oh the memories. And it's true, people on Kali didn't hack, you'd be black sheeped so damned fast, i mean these were the founding fathers of online rts, we rolled people on war2 before bnet was ever conceived. There's a nice little honor that comes with that background. I miss my kali bros. I think i miss axol the most- Gave me the time to teach me war2, and shared my inner passion for Tool as much as I, tho Maynard as well, given his handle i'm sure you knew where it derrived as well, as his old nick for war2 was Lord_Helmet. Good to see Dudey and Aqua still alive n kickin ;] Cheers mates.

What's up? I step away from the game for a mere 11 years and everyone seems to forget about me. Ask ~jolly~ who was the one protoss player he was afraid of back in 1999 (and who was the only other Protoss specialist in the top 10 on the SC ladder).

And which clan was the only clan to absolutely dominate the SC Gals back in the day (and treat them nicely even though we guessed correctly that they weren't gals at all)?

I couldn't help but dig up some old SC brackets from the PGL. Even after all of these years, I'm still pissed that I didn't prevail in the round of 32 because I was looking forward to knocking Jolly out of my bracket:

They did that at least once iirc, but it wasn't space suits but original team suits. CJ wore GO suits, SKT wore the white/blue admiral jackets, etc.

Found this thread by searching on Google for the old German clan "the sheep".
Reason I looked for this: because I wanted to find a funny link to post on the wall of one of the guys behind http://www.clans.de (where also FiSheYe[pG] & Kambiz[pG]) were in.

Hope no one is upset for pushing it.

I find it awesome that one still knows so many of the guys from back then - or at least knows what they are still doing. And many of them have become so successful

- Liquid'Nazgul aka Nazgul[pG] - well, he owns TL
- FiSheYe[pG] aka FA_FiSheYe - founder/investor of clans.de
- Kambiz[pG] - back then the founder of DEF/pG - leads clans.de after having been in the
- Korn[pG] aka [DEF]Korn - founder of PokerStrategy.com
- ToT)Strafe( - serial entrepreneur of various random stuff, living in Thailand - had a short stint on the top 1 spot of SEA ladder in SC2 as well
- Daniel 'Rekrul' Schreiber - became a successful poker pro (won a bracelet at the WSOP) and famously brought ElkY to poker
- Bertrand' ElkY' Grospellier - the most famous French SC:BW and today poker player - one of the 3 most prominent advertising faces of the billion-dollar company PokerStars

Not SC, but also cool: the old SK quake team was built around the Reichelt brothers.
One of them is the boss of ESL, another is a professional football player & for years the captain of Rot-Weiss Oberhausen:

These alone would already make a great image story for eSports - showcasing how eSports nourishes competitiveness, sharp thinking, analysing situations, self-improvement, hard work, ...

It must be the same with everyone nearing their 30s, but I truly believe those were some of the greatest times. Fashion wasn't as prejudice, computers were a cool new thing for the masses and online gaming was being born in front of us.

While this is bumped.... Pillars, do you have any pictures of Box, Nero, etc?
SC is like sex. You should play often, but never too hard. And you should only try hard when it matters.

Smuft used to post on our forums way back when - we used to play pickup games in Terran Strategy & he was a regular in our channel (idle). He would always argue with High-Tech (for those of you guys on US East - you might recognize that name) about different strategies. Anyways, he stopped frequenting our forums probably in 2001 or 2002, and we didn't hear from him. We always thought he died - and then BOOM, we saw him playing pro.

One of our members dug this up from the archives:

http://www.network54.com/Forum/16330/

It's interesting seeing old as hell threads and strategies.

I think these posts were before TL existed.
