Hello

It is well known that many Starcraft 2 players did indeed play Brood War before they jumped into Blizzards next big RTS title. I've scanned through the forums and I cannot find a post about this yet, neither can I find one on [image loading]Liquipedia.

I recently found out that (Wiki)MMA used to play in SKT1 under the name (Wiki)1988. Similarly a few weeks ago I understood that (Wiki)Rain (Korean Protoss), a rather new player in the SC2 spotlight, used to be (Wiki)By.Sun. With the kespa invasion, I found it interesting to make such a post to have a place to refer to, when in doubt. But also because nostalgia is incredibly awesome and to gather all the info/memories regarding this topic from forum people in one place seems mighty fun.

The idea is simple. I'll list all the replies in this post, starting with the two mentioned. Let the info hail!

There are no restrictions what so ever. Players swapping games during SC2 beta or kespa invasionists? Just as equal!

Any game will be listed.

Instead of asking "Why is not player X and Z on the list?", post info about the player stating game (race for brood war and warcraft 3) and name changes.

This is gonna be a long list, 70% of the best players in the Korean SC2 scene came from BW. It'd be easier to do a list of players who didn't come from BW.

A long list is a good list. The goal is not to gather everyone like so (even though that'll be a product of this thread), but merely to know who's who. If they changed name or not. Making a list witheveryone NOT coming from Brood War or Warcraft 3 is not helping in this cause.

But I see your concern!

But I stick to it: A long list is a good list!

No it's not. Fs.Rain's birthdate on 1988, the By.Sun version of Rain came to life 1992. Seems unlikely Eventho it could be I typo on tlpd.

We should do ones where the names actually changed. Otherwise we'd have about 200. T_

I feel like this thread belongs in the SC2 forum.

Nevertheless, before it's moved, all the GSL finalists in chronological order, from Liquipedia.

Fruitdealer used to be called Cool

Hopetoture used to be Rainbow (he since changed his name back to Rainbow, to the joy of the foreign scene. This led me to presume Starcraft players needed girly names, and to change my ID to Ribbon)

MarineKing used to be Claire, a B-teamer

Nestea was Zergbong, a 2v2 player turned joke 1v1 player.

MC was Iron

Rain (the Terran) was apparently never a BW player, according to Liquipedia? That seems wrong.

MVP was on Stars, and a legit A-teamer, but I'm not sure what his ID was

July was kind of a big deal in BW

No idea about Inca, but does anyone care?

Polt was a WC3 pro

MMA was an SKT1 B-teamer

Losira was Thunder, a B-teamer on Oz.

I don't know about TOP

Leenock was A rank in ICCUP, but never joined a team

Don't know about Jjakji

DRG "played BW competitively", but wasn't a pro.

Genius is endless and forever

Don't know about Seed

Life was literally in diapers during the first OSL, and might seriously have never played BW competitively at even an amateur level.

(P)Squirtle was a b teamer on WeMadeFox. No idea what his id was.

(T)Heart was a b-teamer for Hwaseung Oz known as link.

Liquid (P)HerO was a Lecaf Oz b teamer, kept his id.

(P)PartinG, (T)Ryung, (T)YoDa were all BW b teamers but I don't know for what teams or what their handles were.

Revival: Once a B-teamer for MBCGame Hero, now he is in TSL

Symbol: Don't know what team he played for in BW, his ID was Neel, played zerg. He beat IdrA in one of GOMTV Classics 2-1.

JYP: Once he was also a BW progamer under the ID Smart[S.G], now plays for EG.

ByuL: Now playing for Fnatic, he was also an ex-BW pro, under the same ID. In his last season of BW career, he went 4-0 in PL. For some reason his team didn't play him enough.

Fruitdealer: Another ex-BW pro, formerly on eSTRO. He was a ZvT sniper for the team, iirc he was 2-0 against Nada

Heart was another ex BW pro, formerly on the ID KT.MGW)Strict

GanZi was also a BW pro, a Woongjin Stars Terran.

DaeZanG was also an ex-BW pro, Woongjin Stars Protoss, now he is one of the Korean commentators for GSL.

TheStC, HopeTorture, TheWinD also were ex-BW pros.

(Z)Symbol was a b teamer for Hwaseung Oz known as (Z)Neel

(P)Squirtle was a b teamer on WeMadeFox. No idea what his id was.

(T)Heart was a b-teamer for Hwaseung Oz known as link.

Liquid (P)HerO was a Lecaf Oz b teamer, kept his id.

(P)PartinG, (T)Ryung, (T)YoDa were all BW b teamers but I don't know for what teams or what their handles were.




LOL Symbol is Neel? Didn't he lose to IdrA in bw?

fOrGG (or whatever capitalization he uses ) never actually wanted to be named Fin, he stated that he had used a smurf account to run the qualifiers and Gom automatically picked the username as the player name. After a while he got around to changing it.

This is important. The essence is to identify former brood war (or war3) players, who might have been forgotten, as starcraft 2 players.

I am looking for names that are standard for each player during the brood war era. irOn -> MC feels like an ideal example, but that might just be my prejudice. He might have used that for a long time before.

Right should be right. Though I feel most in the list so far are actually accurate?

http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/international/players/1215_F91 also made the switch and made it to WCS Asia (before being eliminated like everyone else who is not of Korean descent).

(Although I guess if you had him you'd have to have pretty much every foreign SC2 player as virtually all of them who were well known in SCBW made the switch to SC2, still, you've got the WC3 players listed so...)

With that said, thanks for compiling all this!

My point was that a nobody B-teamer that did not play any televised game or barely attended any offline preliminaries would might not have it listed. It was a precautionary method so he didn't think that any player he searched would have a known BW career listed.

It would be really neat if the OP included people coming from other games, too. The majority of SC2 players come either from BW, W3 or didn't play competitively at all before that. What I'm curious about are those that come from other games.

For instance:

Supreme Commander -> TLO
Dota -> BabyKnight

Any others?

He practiced BW for SC2 afaik (reached B or A rank on ICCUP or something like that) and played last year (?) a showmatch at IPL against BoxeR, because the internet in the hall went down. But don't nail me down on that, I don't know for sure.

For the most part I think he was known as Dream.t)PltO, at least that's how I knew him, his handle on here though was FrozenArbiter, as well as Tasteless's handle on here is MyLostTemple.

He practiced BW for SC2 afaik (reached B or A rank on ICCUP or something like that) and played last year (?) a showmatch at IPL against BoxeR, because the internet in the hall went down. But don't nail me down on that, I don't know for sure.


Did he play for any notable team or was he just a random guy ?


Think he was Canada B team's 2v2 player, sort of 'known' was Keeper-HuK.

Nice thread. And I didn't even know that Stephano came from WC3. Interesting.

Some of those BW names are quite funny, Clare and 1988, for example. Marineking and MMA are definitely better names.

Indeed he was, from Jinro's liquipedia

Unperturbed, Jonathan threw himself into his gaming. Becoming well known in non-Korean Starcraft circles by the moniker FrozenArbiter, he became a moderator on TeamLiquid.net and curated the site’s Starcraft 2 forum until the release of Blizzard’s long awaited sequel to Starcraft.


Really funny to see all the changes to the names. I mean most players are young, but I think we all have a username or two we regret.

Good list. Good to see ust.Rabbit and MacSed on there, as both were on one of my WC3 teams at one time. WC3 for life.

edit: also, select plays anything he can go pro at. AoE, DoW, WC3, SC2, DOTA (?) just off the top of my head. I know he quit WC3 for DoW, which he was the best at. I dunno about AoE, just saw it above.

UD was the least played, and considered underpowered in WC3's hay day wasn't it?

Yeah I remember that. Artosis talked a bit about a Command&Conquer world champion switching to SC2 and then we saw some pics of Artosis, Tasteless and crew having some beers with dApollo in some Korean restaurant. I'm sure dApollo had a pretty good upbringing to SC2 in that group.

And I believe he still uses the same name.

And just to say he was A-level zerg would probably not exactly do him justice. I mean, wasn't he like the best player of the entire NA continent at some point? Not really sure though.

UD was the least played, and considered underpowered in WC3's hay day wasn't it?

if I have to name 4 coolest, smartest and deadliest wc3 players, they all played UD

axslav was known for his cool 2v2 with strifecro, achieving some success in WC3L

Moon is commonly called the fifth race, but his true Korean nicknames were The Fantasista and AndroJang (Andromeda Jang)

SeleCT was part of the SK.intel, the first foreign wc3 proteam in Korea. He went to win back2back WCG in DoW, went back to wc3, disappeared and re-emerged in sc2.

Polt was good enough to emerge from nowhere and make a quarterfinal (iirc) run in one edition of MWL (wc3 MSL-equivalent). Then he just disappeared (for college apparently)

Grubby used to make an excuse for losing out of a Linkin Park song

m00nglade was some mediocre night elf.
Zenio was some mediorce orc on ladder

for the above list:
elfi: UD for team fnatic
rabbit/macsed: human
sjow: oldschool human of team AMD64
Stephano/namaa/coldfuzion: never heard of them, prolly amateur/chobo.

Is Naniwa on your list? I am legitimately curious as to who those would be.

I did some reading up on it when I bought WC3 under the delusion I would actually enjoy DOTA (Not a slight on the game I just got flamed all to hell for being the noob I was/am), and have dabbled against the AI when bored and or drunk. Moon's stuff was impressive and Grubby's series where he commentated a few matches, he recently re uploaded them, were really fun. That game is so complicated.

Stephano if I had heard correctly was known-ish, but not a super top level human player.

confirming races that were different on several lists:

Nightend (UD)
Rabbit (Orc)
Coldfuzion (HU)

Thought naniwa was a NE player but i guess ill assume wiki is correct.

And as mentioned by someone previous, Soccer did change his name to SlayersVen i think....

former wc3 players that are long gone in the sc2 scene for nostagia's sake:
- Freedom.werra
- Check
- Maka

Naniwa wasn't all that good at wc3, in fact he was more known for flaming and balance whining than anything.

imo the greatest wc3 UD players (for various reasons) are TeD, Madfrog, Sweet and Lucifer.

I can name a couple of WC3 players I don't think have been mentioned, if they have, I am sorry.

KiWiKaKi (Orc)
XlorD (Undead)
CupCake (Nightelf) (Was named ThomasG in WC3)
Ciara (Orc)
SonKiE (Can't remember)
CrunCher (Human I believe)

Also I think I recall Darkforce played WC3 too. (could be wrong though.)
And didn't BlinG play Halo?

I can name a couple of WC3 players I don't think have been mentioned, if they have, I am sorry.

KiWiKaKi (Orc)
XlorD (Undead)
CupCake (Nightelf)
Ciara (Orc)
SonKiE (Can't remember)
CrunCher (Human I believe)

Also I think I recall Darkforce played WC3 too. (could be wrong though.)
And didn't BlinG play Halo?


Nice call on Kiwikaki. Sonkie and Cruncher were human. Technoboy (NE) also played a bit of sc2 but not pro.

Axslav played random in wc3 and was known for his creative strats, but didn't have the best results. He was basically the TLO of wc3.


It'd be super cool to see what races people played in WC3. Wasn't ToD like one of the best Undead players? (Which didn't actually mean anything because UD was extremely Underpowered?) Or am I thinking of someone else?

ToD was a human player, Happy (Empire) was on of the best UD



UD was the least played, and considered underpowered in WC3's hay day wasn't it?

if I have to name 4 coolest, smartest and deadliest wc3 players, they all played UD

axslav was known for his cool 2v2 with strifecro, achieving some success in WC3L

Moon is commonly called the fifth race, but his true Korean nicknames were The Fantasista and AndroJang (Andromeda Jang)

SeleCT was part of the SK.intel, the first foreign wc3 proteam in Korea. He went to win back2back WCG in DoW, went back to wc3, disappeared and re-emerged in sc2.

Polt was good enough to emerge from nowhere and make a quarterfinal (iirc) run in one edition of MWL (wc3 MSL-equivalent). Then he just disappeared (for college apparently)

Grubby used to make an excuse for losing out of a Linkin Park song

m00nglade was some mediocre night elf.
Zenio was some mediorce orc on ladder

for the above list:
elfi: UD for team fnatic
rabbit/macsed: human
sjow: oldschool human of team AMD64
Stephano/namaa/coldfuzion: never heard of them, prolly amateur/chobo.


Is Naniwa on your list? I am legitimately curious as to who those would be.

I did some reading up on it when I bought WC3 under the delusion I would actually enjoy DOTA (Not a slight on the game I just got flamed all to hell for being the noob I was/am), and have dabbled against the AI when bored and or drunk. Moon's stuff was impressive and Grubby's series where he commentated a few matches, he recently re uploaded them, were really fun. That game is so complicated.

Stephano if I had heard correctly was known-ish, but not a super top level human player.



Naniwa wasn't all that good at wc3, in fact he was more known for flaming and balance whining than anything.

imo the greatest wc3 UD players (for various reasons) are TeD, Madfrog, Sweet and Lucifer.


I had completely forgotten about Madfrog, I wish he would come back to SC2, those games right after release were really fun to watch.

Got to go sample these now.

I dont sit on all info, so I need the info from you guys to add them. If stuff is not on the list, it's because I did not know of them, I didn't think of them yet, no one mentioned them yet.

Targa is a former WC3 player, 99% sure that he played elf

"imo the greatest wc3 UD players (for various reasons) are TeD, Madfrog, Sweet and Lucifer."

Extremely good players all. Sweet is my personal favorite, but you could argue that FoV had more accomplishments than any of them.

Any idea what race SortOf, Pomi, merz, theognis and Aures played in BW? Were they using the same names?
