I've been longing for a post like this, to make me feel newschool again, as I wasn't around that time. Thank you (I've been feeling old with knowing about so many things that are now labeled as "old-school" ).
Complete the cycle!

Didnt realise that u were at the same level as grrr in your early days.

But i played u in TAOladder pillars and u were my idol <3

Are you gonna try hard for SC2 ?


I'm definitely not gonna try to play SC2 professionally. It would require more dedication than I'm willing to give at this point. Not to mention the fact that poker already fills a pretty big niche in terms of gaming and strategy.

I'll still play, for sure, and probably at a decent level, but it will be mostly recreationally.

Do you have any replays of yourself, or were you before the replay age?

Yeah, as someone else stated, I left the game before replays existed. I remember some 'fake' replays of mine lying around in 2002-2003, though.

Great post Pillars, good for people like me who got into the scene late to be able to learn about these early stages of Starcraft.

But for me it's quite funny to read this when where i first heard about you was from your "legendary" game aganist Ace1ever in C&C Generals which was in 2003, and then i later learned you were actually a progamer in Korea a couple of years earlier

Man reading this reminds me of the days when I played in a I2E2 tournament back in 1998-99 in Dallas and all the WCG qualifiers. Hehe my golden moments at the WCG qualifiers were playing Artosis LT he drew Terran 12 and my Random Toss 6. I think we played about an hour long live game with all the other participants watching. I believe i finally lost that one. I also won the next game by nuke rushing a terran. lol nuke rush won a tournament WCG game !

the slayers part of slayers_boxer is from a tv show

Slayer won KBK in 2000 (i think?), the player he beat in the final was i.Love_Star, yes. KBK was a massive, prestigious tournament. During Slayer's run, Grrrr... remarked that Slayer was the best player on earth. Slayer was like a 250 apm player back in that day, pretty wild. There's a segment in that documentary showing Giyom standing behind Slayer with a big grin on his face.

I *did* like Strifeshadow, for sure. I chose to play it over the much more popular War3 for awhile. It was also nice to be part of a small, fairly close-knit community playing an indie game.

Whoa.
Surprising.
I'm guessing I wasn't really in my prime anymore at that point, but I'd be curious to see it...

Read your PMs. :D
