Jinro vs. MC on Scrap Station in GSL January was such a good game. Even Tastosis had no clue what was going on. He absolutely crushed MC with mech and not a soul saw it coming.

Yeah man, that was a sick sick game. It's not often that artosis doesn't have anything to say, but that game he actually just stopped any form of intelligent commentary and revelled in Jinro's sick play.

My best memories of GSL were watching fruitdealer though.... He fought for the swarm in our darkest hour, and I remember going nuts at 4 AM when he dropped those banelings all over ITR's army in the finals. The people in the apartment next to me knocked on my door and asked me to quiet down, followed by asking me what was so exciting at 4 in the morning. My answer?

"So many banelings!!!!!!" /trollface

Or those muta transfuses!!! Dem clutch transfuses man!

Incredible write-up!

Makes me so sad that I only became immersed in the world of SC2 since GSL march...

Oh well! Better late than never XD

Amazing article lots of fun to read thanks guys

Also, the FD video is a little more depressing than it is inspiring now knowing FD's history with SC2

But damn that first season was crazy. You guys failed to mention GOM had it at 50 bucks for the first season for vods though.

Unlike most of the other foreign players that got through to code S via seeds, Jinro actually had to qualify... twice. I mean, jesus, which foreigner has done that? If there's a foreigner that can repeat his performance, it'll be jinro. It's time to make us believe again! JINRO Hwaiting!

This article really brings back memories. It made me remember how significant it felt to have jinro in semis of GSL... I hope we get to experience that again/w one of the foreigners in Korea.
