I never got how people could get so obsessed over a game.
people regularly call soccer the beautiful game, and love it to death.


i never understood that until i came into the starcraft world.
the depth, strategy of this game demand all of your attention, and i personally wouldnt have it anyway.

When ever i read anything related to do with savior, my entire body breaks out in goosebumps.
to have someone that much better, then everyone else.... there isn't words to describe it.

I really wish they would update this, whenever I feel like diving into nostalgia I open up this thread again. Great read that I think more people deserve to see.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

My thoughts on the book, which I have a copy of:
1. Spelling and formatting issues are really painful. I have pretty low tolerance for that kind of stuff, so this was hard to read.
2. It seems like a book by hardcore fans for hardcore fans, and it's pretty impossible for everyone else to enjoy.

I really liked the videos you posted here though. Lots of history to appreciate.

I agree in the spelling/formatting as well as some of the writing structure. While I bought the book and think there is a ton of good information, there are major issues that make it very hard to read. What caught my attention was also the framing in that it starts in almost a textbook format, but then mixes in editorial opinions, like some chapters are journalistic while others are editorial.

Overall though, I appreciate the effort. I would like to see a cleaned up, redone version though.
We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost. -Charlie Chaplin

I bought this book. It was pretty sick.

Read it at least a few times over.

Only the BW stuff is probably relevant now, there's a lot of sc2 stuff near the end but from what I remember it is probably hilariously dated now.

Unfortunately it's one of those books that is bound to my memories and I'm not interested in selling. You should try to contact the author chobopeon. I think he used to be a regular on the site back in the BW days, maybe you can find someone who knows him personally or another way to contact him.

I remember that I stopped reading it at some point, when he was basically just describing games in detail, which felt a lot like it was a filler to get more pages. Should maybe pick it up again and just skip the play-by-play descriptions.

The stuff he has on the OP is the condensed version that we might have wanted. A shame the videos are long gone since they were pretty good.
