Rofl my dad bought me a kindle so I would spend more time reading and less time thinking about/playing games...I really really want to by the kindle version of this just to see his reaction (I hope he would see the humor, but the more I think about it, I don't think he would :/).

By the way, you got a nice plug from artosis during the GSL last night I read your OP a while ago but somehow never figured out it was actually a book until artosis mentioned it.

In time, I think so. However, that's down the road. If I were you and wanted to avoid the US Amazon charges, I'd order the paperback through Paypal and I will ship it to you personally.

Received my copy today, all the way in Australia. I'll make the gf read it when I'm done, maybe she'll get a clue on what the hell I'm talking about.

Any way of getting a PDF version after I've purchased the paperback? That would be uber useful and swell

Hey chobopeon, I have a question. Me and my father are looking to buy your book since this game is the definition of my childhood and my father wants to see how StarCraft can be so popular especially in Korea and your book seems so damn great. So yeah we wanted to know what is the difference between your first and second edition. More content? You don't print the first one anymore? etc.

Anyways, great job on the book, by looking at the OP, it looks really, really interesting.

Thank you.

Cheers!

I am going to buy this, for sure.. Not only just to read, but also to have something physical that I can have in my living space to remind me what I spent so much time on. It's one of those things you'd want to keep around untill you're an old man and you have on your shelf..

"Hey grandfather, what's this book about?" - "Well, listen here grandson, when I was young..." Haha, I get easily carried away, but you get the idea

I bought it and really liked it. Especially since I'm newer to the scene and didn't really know much about characters everyone knows of, like Boxer.

I really enjoyed the book, it was very interesting to learn the history of this great game though I'd like to give some constructive criticism and hopefully won't be flamed..

I purchased the paperback from Amazon and and read through it right away, though it was an engrossing story I found the number of grammatical errors very distracting. There are a large number of spelling mistakes, poor formatting issues, strange spelling issues (ie. Savior in one sentence, sAviOr in the next), spaces at the beginning of new lines (OCD I know) etc. It seems that the text wasn't edited or reviewed at all.

Altogether it felt very unprofessional. I had originally planned to share the book with family and friends in order to show them how awesome Starcraft is, but after realizing the issues I would find it detrimental and embarrassing to do so. Also, the book looks like it is printed on 8.5x11 letter paper on a home printer in a size 14 font, so it's not what you would expect from a professional printing job if you read much of anything else.

Other suggestions I have would be to include pictures (such as of the players being talked about), add page numbers, better segment the sections of the book (sometimes there's a page break before a next section, a new chapter, a plus sign, or it just goes right into it), get better titles (they are just regular text bolded and is often immediately below the previous section), maintain a better flow throughout (it will randomly transition from one story to something completely different at some points later on in the book), cut the filler to make it more about starcraft (the memory part by emythreal, though interesting, shouldn't be in there. All the history is good, but flesh it out, it doesn't tell as complete a history of Starcraft as I would like), and the book of records is out of place being right in the middle of the book (it would be better in the back as an appendix) and is poorly formatted.

Again, I really enjoyed the book though I think there's a lot that can be improved upon. I hope the next edition of the book will be even better. If you want to get the book, don't hesitate, but realize you will be getting an imperfect product.

That was a good read. This is probably way late but I had a couple gripes. Bonjwa was first used to describe July. It was used synonymously with champion. It took its modern definition of "player of complete dominance" during Saviors era.

My second gripe is that the book never went into the Protoss kings or dragon's storyline.

Thankyou for putting this together, especially with the images and graphics, definitely gonna purchase it. Not sure why this isn't plugged more often...? I've been watching streams/tournaments/esports-shows daily for 5 months and just now heard about this because of Ring's new book. I think all competitors and current day BW/SC2 fans should read/listen to this.

You illuminate the fact that the last few years are a miniscule amount of time in comparison to the rich history esports has already developed.
