I got hooked early on Starcraft, sneak watching Husky and HD during beta while at a boring summer internship...probably because it was so good at hitting both old nostalgia and competitive drive. I had such great memories of the days of casually playing BW, having to use the cheat codes to beat the campaign, and going mass BC or mass scouts in casual team games with middle school friends and cousins but I was also looking for something to fill the competitive drive I was getting at the time from WoW PvP. The problem was that the WoW arena pvp scene was just supercharged with drama and INTENSE negativity (Destiny & Naniwa drama is nothing like the craziest shit Serennia pulled and if you think SC balance whining is bad, it's just as tiring when people whine nonstop about class, racials, team comp, etc. as well). Compared to ArenaJunkies and World of Ming, Teamliquid was so much more professional, enthusiastic, and positive that it was a downright relief to discover. Anyway, I love Starcraft for not only epic plays, but for epic storylines. The stories back then were what drew me in... - Fruitdealer leading the hopes of Zerg in GSL Open Season 1 against hordes of Terran and Toss - Jinro vs Idra for the foreigners' champion in Korea - the Emperor Boxer starting his own clan - MKP and the curse of the Kong ...but the stories nowadays are what keep me around - soO breaking his own Kong's curse (and the SKT T1 Zerg image while he's at it) - the rise of new/old players like Dream and Dark against the old guard like Maru and Life - the explosive Proleague entry of Sbenu and their crew of old allstars - the struggle of the Brood War greats like Flash and Fantasy to regain their peak With the frequent Blizzard updates, and intense public interest in LotV, I'm hopeful that we can build something that will really last, and keep inspiring generations of gamers to come. Here's to another 5 years! | ||

I will remember forever the day I discover sc2 esport, I was watching street fighter top 8 of evo on youtube and I saw Jaedong vs Bomber in suggestion I cliked on it and my mind was just blown. I played many rts in my youth Age of Empire, Empire Earth, Rise of nation, warcraft 3 and even Brood war but never online and watching Bomber destroyed Jaedong on is way to the 2013 season 2 championship I discoverd a new aspect of these game that I had no idea existed. Before SC2 rts were preaty much just going around with a buch of unit and watching them fight, economiy was not a factor neither was having multiple production building (since you just have to wait to have more money an unit right?), but with sc2 I discoverd actual strategy, delicate micro and amazing macro, even if I did not understand everything I could see the skills of the player and the speed at which they play the game. In the following week I watched preaty much all the great Hots game of 2013 and then I started to watch tournament live ( the first game I ever watch live was the qualifier for wcs america with Natanias proxi thor dropping a terran, I think Xeno, saddly I could not understand the awesomeness of that at the time) and from then on I just keep watching every tournament and discovered the greatest website of all in TL. I also started playing the game, I felt first hand the rush of adrenaline, the salt of defeat, the joy of victory and the satisfaction of adapting and becoming better. Only sc2 is able to give me these rollercoaster of emotion. Starcraft 2 is not only something I love, it is a part of my life Long live SC2!!! | ||

Invisible skill cap that is APM. Constant striving to execute closer and closer to perfection. Watching something that I know I can never replicate. Then being able to replicate after hours of practice. Although my passion is lost, the good memories are there. GLHF | ||
