You know what, I didn't watch korean starcraft at the time and missed it. I repeatedly saw that it was the best finals of all time and kinda dismissed it, because I thought it was just nostalgia talking and the games must be quite uninteresting by modern standards.

After reading jjakji's article, I watched game 4.

Then I watched game 1.

Then I watched the series.

I did not regret any second of it !!!

Oh yeah!! This was the first (or second) GSL finals that I saw and I was hooked!!!

(and of course, I'm "stuck" watching now too)

the first full GSL i really paid close attention to was Mvp beating Squirtle....though i went back and found out about all the shit in GSL that happened prior (MC Nestea and Mvp killing everyone, HuK doing well, jjakji v leenock, polt v mma, MKP v Mvp Nestea v Foxer etc)

Actually now that it's mentioned I do think I saw Mvp vs Squirtle (that was open season 3 right?) I still think I liked jjakji leenock because of the TvZ

Mvp vs Squirtle still has a lot of sentimental value to me because it was the first finals I watched live, but if I had seen jjakji - Leenock I'd probably rate it the best GSL finals ever no question.

in terms of level of play for its time, almost certainly jjakji leenock at the top
I'd rate mvp squirtle higher because it pretty much defies that in the best way possible

i imagine there willl be at least one or two mssions like this where its a mircofest for glory...and i def feel like at the end of each mission despite victory, it will feel like you barely made it out alive and though you won the battles you are losing the war.... we will see how they go about it but i am very excited, especially since it looks like they bringing back yellow toss from BW as the "theme color for the game, despite having green this whole time". so much nostalgia, but i wonder how they will balance out the respected rogue hero of Zeratul, who has been a real let down in SC2 in my opinion and the somehow selfless Kerrigan....if she is the key, why need zeratul and toss campaign? idk

Well, I feel like the reason he's been a letdown is because of the fact that he hasn't really shown up very often. He's kinda just been in the shadow, biding his time and waiting for the right moment to do the right thing.

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if there's been some sort of "corruption" among the Protoss that Zeratul needs to cleanse, and that's why he's been running along. Hopefully he'll try to redeem himself for killing his matriarch.

There's always something like that so that you can get your mirror match played a few times :D

Campaign mirror matches are really cool though. I don't think that I've explicitely disliked mirror matches in SC2, or even SC1 so far. They've just been a thrillride from beginning to end.

if i remember all the mirror matches from all starcraft

SC1:
T4: the installation match, pretty much a 1a game, but had some charm
T5: Raynor meets Kerrigan and they stealthed their way to take a base, was fun
T7: that awesome TvT with Duke
T8: that awesome TvT with Sarah
T10: that insanely long TvT with Raynor

Z7: Muta Guardian Hydra OP

P7: Tassadar Zeratul AND Fenix?! NOSTALGIA OP
P8: Raynor + Protoss?! NOSTALGIA OP

BW
P7: RIP Aldaris

T1: Pretty tricky for a level 1
T2: CATTLEBRUISER OPERATIONAL BITCHES
T4: The first choice map you had
T5: EPIC!!!!! :D

My thoughts on it when I was 10 or 16 finally finishing it up were:
SC1:
T4: catered pretty well to my noob self. I liked it
T5: "Wait, I can just make mass marines and dropships. Siiiiick"
T7: 10yo: "This mission is impossible! There is no cow level" 16yo: "D-MATRIX TANK PUSH BITCHES"
T8: Take top left base, mass army, nuke key spots win ez pz
T10: 10yo: "...I'm just going to move to the Zerg campaign" 16yo: "This mission is still hard so I should budget a few hours to finish it"

Z7: "MASS HYDRALISK!!!"

P7: "How the hell are you supposed to do this mission?"
P8: see P7, still haven't done it...

BW
P7: "MIND CONTROL IS ALL I NEED"

T1: "I just won this in like 45 minutes with 2 tanks, 2 SCVs and turrets. Wait, there's a back door???"
T2: CATTLEBRUISER OPERATIONAL BITCHES
T4: I hate nukes
T5: best mission ever

Also

Z1: pretty decent

And there's another Z mission we both forgot
Edit: you edited them in

holy shit you and i had the EXACT same mindset though i was younger

Lol, I never did Sc1 P8 or the end of BW Z, found them too hard at the time...
That Zerg one on char against the Terran/Zerg was soooo hard though

where you had to use DTs to kill the psudo overmind? god that was terrible

now im super nostalgic and i want to go back and play both SC1 AND BW but i lost my copies of both

Yeah I should reinstall at some point, but it's difficult to do nowadays

well, maybe in 6 years they will make SC1 free like they did with lost vikings...(because how else are you gonna find brood war nowadays...)

You know what, I didn't watch korean starcraft at the time and missed it. I repeatedly saw that it was the best finals of all time and kinda dismissed it, because I thought it was just nostalgia talking and the games must be quite uninteresting by modern standards.

After reading jjakji's article, I watched game 4.

Then I watched game 1.

Then I watched the series.

I did not regret any second of it !!!

Oh yeah!! This was the first (or second) GSL finals that I saw and I was hooked!!!

(and of course, I'm "stuck" watching now too)

the first full GSL i really paid close attention to was Mvp beating Squirtle....though i went back and found out about all the shit in GSL that happened prior (MC Nestea and Mvp killing everyone, HuK doing well, jjakji v leenock, polt v mma, MKP v Mvp Nestea v Foxer etc)


Actually now that it's mentioned I do think I saw Mvp vs Squirtle (that was open season 3 right?) I still think I liked jjakji leenock because of the TvZ


Nah, Mvp vs Squirtle is 2012 season 2.

correct is was
DRG v Genius
Mvp v Squirtle
Seed v MC
Life v Mvp
....sniper v hyun....

sorry, I was talking about the "open" seasons (2011?)

Weren't the open seasons 2010?

correct, it was 2010

open season 3 was MC vs rain (that was my first GSL season)

oh THOSE open seasons. Yes 3 was MC v RAin Fruitdealer and Nestea took the first 2 Mvp took the fourth i think (San's worst tournament) and MC again in 5 (one of San's best tournaments)

jinro, artosis, idra, torch

Before my time


Jinro was a fantastic TL Terran who made semis of GSL TWICE no one else has made it to semis even once, HuK and NaNiwa were close though...

Idra was EG zerg from BW (terran at the time though) was really good..and then he became shit, and BM'd his way to retirement

Artosis was the father of the artosis pylon, wrecked in WCG 2005, but tried his luck in SC2 only to reallize he was a better caster than player...

Torch I dont remember....
