Basically, what the title says. What happened to KBK?

Also, where can I find some KBK maps.

Knights bridging korea,
the goal was to get as many fake wins as possible on the online ladder and then you got a free ticket to the finals in korea.

A ladder that culminated in an offline tournament in korea for the top X.

The last one held was in uh..... 2003? 2004? KBK Jeju anyway, and a bunch of non-koreans were supposed to go (daaman, willet, whiz I think...? but some complications came up and some of the non-koreans currently there ended up going, not sure who.. was it Assem/Elky/Leg or just Elky/Leg?).

Blah, I don't remember if all of the 3 people I mentioned qualified but at least 2 of them did I think!

The first 3 were like..

TheMarine beating some guy,
Slayer (the norweigan) beating i.love.star
TheMarine beating slayer (or maybe he didn't beat slayer in the finals but he beat him sometime during KBK I'm almost certain).
Moderatortell the guy that interplanatar interaction is pivotal to terrans variety of optionitudals in the pre-midgame preperatories as well as the protosstinal deterriggation of elite zergling strikes - Stimey n | Formerly FrozenArbiter

Rainbow won the 4th kbk btw in 2003.

Themarine beat the same guy that Slayer beat in the first KBK in the final.

Sonjjang was 2nd in the 3rd KBK that TheMarine won. Elky 3rd and Sir@Soni 4th.

I THINK Rainbow beat Boxer in the final of the 4th but Im not sure.

Some searching helps

I wasn't around for the first 3, but in the 4th one you didn't no.

Although they had this annoying bug so that non-koreans couldn't register for a really long time IIRC (I actually called their customer support like 3 times :D).

I think the first 3 were free as well btw.

I remember the hype in the swedish community when Daaman, Willet and Whiz were supposed to go. And the disappointment when they didn't.
Willet got really really sad I think. He was on fire at the time.

kbk was really hardcore for its time. I remember me and a friend of mine who was even worse than me signed up and man we got owned so bad; ] then it became impossible to get games cuz our records were like 0-10.

lineups for those first two are just :O so many old names.

nice oldschool vod, but the zerg guy is not freemura, it's "I_Love.Star".

i think in 99 there was also a kbk, which an unknown terran player won.

The KBK where Willet and WhiZ were supposed to go was around 2005? I think. Although something messed up, not sure what, I'm sure whiz knows what happened, and they couldn't go.


It was when you could play it online among all the koreans and the top2 foreigners would qualify for the offline tournament in korea.

I remember back then, H.O.T wrote on his fan cafe that Leg scared him or something while they were taking a bus to the tournament location and that Heaven[30D.O.M] was tripping his balls off because he was so excited to win a trip to Jaeju (so much so that he did awful in the actual tournament)
