Good deal of us only created accounts on TL because of SC2. P6 was playing StarCraft before it even had an expansion pack probably.

His account's not old though, oddly enough. Would've thought he'd have an '04 profile or something.

I'm feeling young again thank you guys (turned 27 on June 4th, thought I was old tbh).

On another note I created my first account on TL in 2004. Probably started playing BW in 2000 or so. Crazy to think about.

I used to play non-bw sc with my friends because we could use the spawn-install on our school's computer lab PC's without getting in trouble. BW didn't have the spawn-install option. For a while, we were too noob to have versions that worked on a flash drive etc.

also i'm almost 2 months younger than emu go me honestly

We did that with Halo CE, and WC3 a bit more than BW because BW was hard to have fun playing for us casually.

We installed a SNES emulator on our classroom computer and would play Bomberman all the time. Also Worms Armageddon.

I had some high school friends who were decently engrossed by BW and bothered to learn build orders, so we'd usually have a few 1v1 games in the school library or computer lab. Though it was still like 80% UMS maps like FMP, Desert Strike, and Cat and Mouse. We even got to play CS 1.6 a few times with other people in a class and our teacher tolerated it. I got knifed mid-air and found that hilarious.

Smh these young folks with their computers.
My school had a computer room that was locked outside of it class and that was an elective course.
There was five of us in my year and the three others were good at math.

I wish I had a single friend that played BW. Some of them played Dota 1 though, but back in the day I was obsessed with BW and played nothing else

Didn't get into Dota 2 until TI2 because I quit SC2 earlier that summer.

I joined because of SC2, but I did play OG Starcraft when it was released. Never got into BW multiplayer, but that was due to not having high speed internet until I was like 22.

Well the BW crowd I hung out with were Asian (Chinese and a few Korean FOBs) and this one Indian guy, so the demographics probably favour a BW interest over the average Saskatchewan high school. Don't feel too bad, most ended up converting to LoL after a brief stint with SC2 after BW anyways. I did have one buddy who did try out DotA once though, and he somewhat opened my eyes to the game.

I played HL1 deathmatch (cracked) at sleepovers with my friends. We never really had enough people to do CS and it was too weird anyways compared to the tried and true run-around-pick-up-guns deathmatch mode.

Man that game was awesome, I loved exploring the win conditions of stuff like lifting a Commander and suiciding into another Commander.

I played CS, SC1 and 2, RA1 and RA2, CnC, Tiberian Sun, WC 2 and 3 and Dota 1 and 2. Yeah im a bit old lol. Besides CS and Dota1, I wasnt really into watching competitive esports. I found out about TL about the time when SC2 came out.I nver got into watching competitive BW, but I still enjoy watching SC2 (mainly GSL), however I dont watch nearly enough as I did when WoL came out.
