I'm sure other people might feel the same way but this guy basically confirmed my choice of zerg when I got the game. His games were amazing as hell during that time too! <3 FD

I now have autographs of both BoxeR and NaDa. I can die happy. Lim Yo Hwan and Lee Yun Yeol FIGHTING forever!

I remember the early days of GSL. Those games are god-awful compared to now, but they do serve as a great history lesson in how far a game can develop in such a short time. Glad FD found a home in LoL after his SC2 career fizzled out.

Sorry what is a"Final Edit" like I've read them multiple times but what do they mean specifically? Like it's the last time anyone will write about them?

Same here, I thoroughly enjoyed those games, even though I was rooting for Boxer
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

Wonderful write-up that went very deep into his games and the complexities (or lack thereof) of his play. If you watched that first GSL, you will never forget that run by Cool. It wasn't only because he was the first to win, or because he was a zerg at that time. For me, it was the way in which he won: exciting variety of unit compositions, innovation, risk (as you mentioned).
Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

Now I remember why I dislike watching old VODs. They're so bad. "Good creep spread" and it's barely out of the base.

I was never a fan of fruitdealer, the only people I was interested in GSL Open Season 1 were IdrA and TLO. It was NesTea and MarineKing a season later that seriously impressed me (and continue to).

But the article was a nice insight into how much of a pioneer he was.

fruitdealer, smart enough that range 3 roaches are useless and not to be relied upon

sadly fruitdealer went to the dark side due to the corruption of LoL.

Great article, unforgettable moments

That ZvT on Kulas Ravine vs TOP was extremely cool indeed.

I will never forget the FD final, not only was it the first GSL with an incredible prize pool.
The fruit jokes, the odds of zergs winning, the horrid maps! This is a classic.

This has been getting worked on for a long while. It's a great article.

Just pretty funny timing that FruitDealer's team disbands the day it's released. Oh well, time for FruitDealer comeback!

Who wouldn't be excited if FruitDealer would return? Loved reading this, just like the other Final Edits. Thanks, guys! Keep it up!

Still my favourite GSL, everything he did was Cool (hahaha) and new, and he was the only hope for zerg at the time.

i read this and my heart pounded. wtf my favourite team disbanded? wtf chit.
Then I read lol. lol.

Amazing article, expected something like this sooner (after FD's exit from sc2) but this is still great none the less.
The first GSL will always be the most memorable and emotional for me, even being a Toss player now, and back then I was moved that a Zerg player, managed to be the first GSL champion in a time where Zergs were having the hardest time.

Great times.
hi. big fan.
