The Jinro/Idra mini-rivalry was a very memorable part of this little era as well. It's hard to imagine that, in fact, both of them, even moreso Jinro, actually spent very little time as progamers before moving on. It felt like such an important time for the game, but that was all within the span of a year.
TL should sponsor some sort of "bringing 'em back" tourney. Even if none of those guys play anymore, it would be fun to see them throw out some random games and be interviewed.

Shoot mine should be coming up really soon if it hasn't already passed. How do I check? NVM found it. Mine is August of next year. I knew it was in summer.

This would honestly be amazing to see. Perhaps we'd get some casters participating as players too.

2010-2012 was peak Starcraft 2. The game and the scene are a shell of what they once were.

It's definitely a different time. I haven't followed the scene since 2013 until very recently and I am surprised about the high level of play watching the last two GSL's and Dreamhacks. Back in the day it was the dream of lots of people on this site to have a foreigner go toe to toe with Koreans and now arguably the best SC2 player right now is a foreigner. Also back in the day there seemed to be a divide between the two scenes and now every week I watch tournaments with tons of Koreans Pros and Foreign Pros.
Still miss 2010-2012 though, the game was so big back then and personalities seemed to be equally big. Miss it but wouldn't want to go back.

Come sit by the fire child and I shall tell you tales of the before-times! Alas I played the shit out of Starcraft when it came out but didn’t really use the internet for much browsing. Was WC3 and WC3Replays where I became a forum poster (some posts like a petition to balance Destroyers being gloriously embarrassing to look at now). If I’d been aware of TL and competitive BW I think I would have lapped that up! Any other interesting stats you wizards have on me? I’m a sucker for that stuff. Was news to me I’d been here a decade, and a fine decade it has been.

Although they are all inherently evil beings trying to brainwash the youth through the televisual medium.
Wow my hiatus was longer than I’d thought!
