At the dawn of the age of BoxeR in early 2001, Terran was considered a weak, slow race with miles of ground to make up before it could match Protoss and Zerg. A Terran had never even made it out of the group stage in the OSL -


Am I the only one who got a jolt of inspired optimism about SC2 from this?

Thats why most SC:BW players dont whine about Zerg current stage as much as people that only play SC2 or has very little knowledge about SC:BW.
Terran before the Broodwar expansion of SC1 is a non-existence race. Its simply unplayable. Even with Broodwar came out, people still doesnt know how to play Terran. Only when Boxer emerges, he taught the whole world how terran is meant to be played.
Zerg in SC2 at this current stage doesnt even compare to what Terran had been in SC1 at the same time.

indeed, and thats why i hope Boxer will play Zerg if he starts to play in the GSL

him playing Terran at this state would be a holocaust of OP'ness

It's a pity 80%+ of the SC2 players never went through BW. We'd get so many less whine threads :\

Just wanted to say thanks for this really informational article!



It's great for those of us who haven't been around to watch all of the BW developments, but would like to know who these pro players are as they migrate over to SC2.
