Eri, I never said I doubted or argued against Naz's statement. What he says will always have more consenus from other top players than my own opinion. Just saying Tsu was good in my opinion.

Montaro deserves mention. His use of the Ghost really was quite ahead of his time. No one ever gave that unit a chance until Boxer's amazing victory over TheMarine by locking down 12 battlecruisers at once. Montaro's mass nuke tactics are still unmatched. Of course, Montaro never had to try that against korean pros =p

hmmm what about the guy Grrr played in Blizz Tourny... Leader something... Skelton prob too deserves a mention (he did win a starleague.., or no?) FreeMura winning the first OGN starleague has to count for something, and SoSo also cause he was crazy (the whole pop band thing created some good games vs Grrr...)



It was [B-Blade]Leader, B-Blade used to be a pro team in the beginning if I recall well.


His name is Kim Chang-sun, a commentator for couple of leagues (the guy with square-shaped face and glasses). Just by reading the battle report, I was fascinated by the power of Terran, the lesser race at that time. Too bad he had to face Grrr in the final. (He had to fight carrier with the short-ranged goliaths)

I think Naz first became well known in Cloud Ladder, then much moreso after defeating NTT in the WCG dutch prelims

Hmm =)

This has me thinking about old times...

In 1999 in Auckland New Zealand a guy held a small bw convention and if I remember correctly the guy who hosted it was using the alias hone[sg]. He showed off )DL(October vs Grrrr - who at the time was playing z A few people paid and got to play Grrr but at the time I was not into bw all that much and did not bother playing. (God I regret that now!)

Is hone[sg] )Is(Honest by any chance? And I heard one of them (if its not the same person) used to be Grrrr's manager? Anyone know about this?

Cheers!

Honest'[sg] was and is not )is(Honest. First of all the )is( is american, while [sg] is korean.

October vs Grrr must have been the finals of either i2e2 or the first (big) kor tourney grrr won, i'm not quite sure which one that was, tho.

hone was an australian who studied korean the language and culture in college and was very enthusiastic about brood war. he began working for the australian embassy in korea a couple years ago~~ and yes he was GRrr's manager at one point, if any reason because he spoke english and korean. also that's who I think mensrea is :-)

larry-the-weird owned shit up. i think he got places in some blizzard tourney ages ago. i always wonder what happened to those early gamers - are they the ones where everything originates from? or just smaller playing field?
