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. | ||

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 On September 22 2010 02:42 choboPEon wrote: That "blank slate" feeling just isn't there for me with SC2, and I really miss the feeling of freshness. 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. High five, this was A+. | ||
