what a cool video. it makes me feel so good inside watching something like that. im sure for all of us it really hits home. Artosis i think loves this game more than anyone else on the planet, and he really is a professional. Day9 and Tasteless are such great brothers, and to see their mother post in this thread... does nothing short of putting a lump in my throat. such a fantastic story. <3

This is by far the greatest thread on TL atm.

Watching that video is PURE gold especially when you get the clips showing where they are and what they are doing now. I have a pic of all 3 of them together from blizzcon, one of the greatest pics I got that year. 3 of the Greatest guys ever ESPECIALLY in e-sports. Super friendly and cool to any and every1 who approaches em, they try to get to all of their fans. 3 of my heros for SURE.

This video is AWSOME. i loved it, i almost cried when Artosis was upset haha, but the ending is SOOOOO EPIC. And it all turned out great for all 3 of em. Loved it, best movie ive seen all year easily.

O and BTW Tastless/Day9's mom, if you are ever looking for a replacement son, you can adopt me... tho I am 22 so idk if thats possible.

I wish i could travel back in time to this time/place and just go hug Artosis and be like

"Don't Worry, You are Gonna Change Esports forever in the future, and become one of the most influential esports members ever!"

and then like put on my cool futuristic shades and jump back through time.

Those were great times for bw, remember watching wcg games, downloading tons of replays and spending every spare hour I had on playing.

Dear maker of the video,

I just want to thank you for putting this awesome job together. Showing us this three pillars of eSports back in the day was such a wonderful thinkg to watch.

Im just saying Im practically new at the eSports community, and I'm falling in love with it so quickly.

Much love from Venezuela,
Rafael.

That was so amazing, took me right back to the heart of Day9 100... seeing Tasteless cast for the first time, seeing Day9 freak out and then get his confidence back... and when the music kicks in at the end. So great

Edit: and I love the part where Artosis says the next game he'll play after Starcraft is Starcraft 2 and he says he's waiting for it

This is great. Amazing job with the footage. It was very entertaining to watch. It was also really neat to see all the sc2 big names when they were mere lads.

Also, I felt kinda bad for all the dedication Artosis put into the game and he lost

So amazing to see this, even for me as someone who didn't follow the BW scene. Having seen the daily #100 just made it that much better.
The thing that probably struck me the most was the absolute confidence Tasteless had that he or his brother would take the whole thing. So awesome.

Tasteless: Maybe I could do it in Singapore or something (cast) maybe I should talk to them,actually I'm going to talk to them right now I'll be right back.

Its not everyday we as a community get to see the exact moment in history that would change someones life forever. This is truely something epic and I feel privileged to have been able to watch this.

Thank you, and thank you Day9,Artosis and Tasteless for everything you have done and will continue to do for the Starcraft community.

What a cool video, it's funny to see how much they have and haven't changed in the past 5 years. Tasteless is so baller with blue hair.

Who in turn changed the lives of many of the people who watched Starcraft BW on the international stream. Ripples in time, ripples in time...
