Great writeup OP!

But I couldn't help notice that you didn't give any credit to that zerg player from CJ(oooo i forgot his name :<) for discovering the muta stack trick, and instead gave july all the fame because of his embellishment.

His name was shark.

Great videos indeed. I wasn't really around for the BW scene, so this was a great way to catch up.

This was great, all of it. Major throwback to all of the RTS games I played in the 90s (man the 90s rocked) WarCraft 2, Red Alert, Age of Empires, and of course Total Annihilation (amazing game). Reading the evolution of the genre, especially from a competitive viewpoint, was excellent.

I think I shed a tear reading the StarCraft section. I was there from the beginning in 98 and I still remember reading battlereports from Maynard, Zileas, Agent911, [9]eVERLAST, and Pillars games and being blown away. If only I had a way to watch them play I thought. Fast forward a couple years later and I stumble on a Boxer FPoV at Game-Q's site (still don't know how I navigated that site in Korean) and it was like peering over Leonardo da Vinci's shoulder while he painted. I was blown away and I knew SC was unique and special from there on out. Been hooked and followed the scene ever since.

Also I gotta say this part was rather poignant for me

Simply put, StarCraft was very much a blank slate upon its release. Ideas as seemingly simple as transferring groups of workers to newly built expansions (rather than building them one at a time) were groundbreaking. It took a player the caliber of Miguel "Maynard" Bombach (a former Age of Empires player), probably the most dominant American player of all time, to invent a concept as simple as the worker-transfer. And it changed the game forever.
That "blank slate" feeling just isn't there for me with SC2, and I really miss the feeling of freshness.

High five, this was A+.

Possible the best thread on teamliquid. Just reading about command and conquer, total annihilation, and age of empires brings tears to me eyes ;_;

Hehe I enjoyed this. I remember when there was no replays and to watch the tournaments Blizzard would host they would put a gif animation showing the mini map only from the beginning to end. You would wonder what was happening and saw who won only by the clear domination in the minimap. Thank god for replays now a days.

I admit I didn't read all of that. But I'm glad I'm not the only 1 who remembers the very early days of SC. Zileas' flying reavers... a player single-handedly caused blizzard to nerf something lol. He also got the academy down to 150 minerals if anyone even remembers his post on that.

Edit: K I feel stupid now. Apparently that's what those videos were for haha.
