I'm not completely sure anymore but I think it might have come from Tasteless after watching GomTV regularly. About 10 years ago I only knew the community forum of my country but TL is just so much better

Found TL through Google, when I was younger (and when all my friends were still playing StarCraft), I wanted to beat my friends and random people online so I went jumped online and looked up some strategies. To be honest my first StarCraft site was something called StarCraft University, it was there that I learnt about build orders/micro/macro/etc. But the site would go up and down from time to time so I found other sites (such as this). A few years later my friend told me about the Korean scene and how hardcore they are about StarCraft, naturally I jumped back on the web to search for it and it lead me to TL again and that's when I stopped looking at other StarCraft sites. 1 year later I would register after realising this is the best fucking website in the world and here I am today.
Because when you left, Brood War was all spotlights and titans. Now, with the death of the big leagues, Brood War has moved to the basements and carparks. Now, Brood War is unlicensed brawls, lost teeth, and bloody fights for fistfulls of money - SirJolt

Kind of other, I got into SC1 spectating with GOM all-star invitational that Pholon introduced me to, as well as another IRL friend. From there at first I didn't like TL that much cos of all the unnecessary crap lol but then then I learned to love it after putting a bit of effort in because Pholon always linked good threads to me ;D

When I bought Starcraft in mid-to-late 2009, I asked on GameFAQs if there were any places that could helpme improve my game, and I was redirected here.
The object is to win. If they cannot counter that, they are the ones with the problem, not you.

You know I really can't remember. I think it was a search engine after watching boxer videos on youtube. It's been almost 4 years now... Wow

I wanted to know what "Micro" and "Macro" meant when I started playing (people elsewhere kept using the terms and I didn't know what they meant). So I looked up "micro macro starcraft" on Google and saw a link to the TL wiki, which seemed to be the only place that actually explained it.

I ended up spending several hours reading the wiki and fell in love with it, learning more than I ever thought I could learn about the game. Made an account and never left.

It was in 03 and some guys from [CF] mentioned the site so I signed up. After thinking it was a clique of assholes I took a 3year hiatus from the site, but now I like it
if I come without a thing, then I come with all I need @tonightsend

I think there was some link somewhere on PGT back then. I'm really not sure, that's a bit too long ago :\

NonY FPVODs got me hooked. From there I found the Razer TSL, and have been here ever since. Almost a year and a half ago.
