After the partydude post I feel so tiny... I am glad to hear you are OK now man, and your story is really incredible.
A lot of years ago I tried to play SC but I sucked so badly that I quit even the campagin lol. I didn't understand the game at all... I had zero experience on things like that.
After many years my girlfriend told me to play BW with her, to try because his brother usually played. She wasn't good either hahaha, we played 2 vs 1AI and lost! lol. It was kind of sad but I got fun with her... then we fought and said "Ok,let's better fight on a BW game", and we played... I won abusing cloaked ghosts vs her Templars, and she got angry... we never again played it.
Then 5 years ago there were the 2 happiest weeks on my whole life. I won't tell the whole stoyr but the thing is that SC2 was comming out, for some reason I was exciting, even after almost non playing BW really too much, but the trailer with Vikings simply make a mark on me.... and my girlfriend was wanting to play it. So I bought a copy for her, and his brother oviosuly bought one as well, they started playing and the game looked sooo fun, that I tried it too.
Later... I started to see GSL, it was a whole new world for me, and joined a clan, where we got lot of fun practicing and learning, playing among us (going from Bronze to Platinum). The pro-scene and the emotional moments simply touched me, the FruitDealer win, the NesTea finals, that speech! Do you remember it? And finally I knew WhiteRa, and watched this video:
After that, SC2 became part of my life, but sometimes I stay a little away from it... and come back always again hahaha, to keep in touch with my old friends, watch more pro-games, and keep trying myself, taking it easier than before to get fun instead frustration about losing.
But yeah, everything was so incredible emotional and good about SC2... specially the early stages. I still remember all that because it was so new for me that nostalgia make it feel better lol
Starcraft is the single game that has me hook as long as it has. After 5 years I'm still following tournament a lot. Even if I don't have that much time to play anymore, the link I made with the people from this game are absolute. They are some of the nicest people I ever met. All for a single game

I wanted to thank you all for being so awesome and supportive. You guys are the reason i joined the community, and seeing all these wonderful posts makes me so happy. <3 you all.
I started playing when I was 4, and that's all I played was StarCraft, almost every day. I had StarCraft down to the point where I was beating people at StarCraft Trivia in the chat channels with bots about stats (e.g. how much something costs). When StarCraft II was released, I was 13 and went to the midnight release at GameStop. I wasn't able to play it for some time, due to terrible graphics cards, but when I did get to play it, I LOVED IT!!!!!! It was so much like the original, but so different as well. StarCraft II really got me into the competitive aspect of gaming. I'm not very great, but I still enjoy the game.
Like everyone else says, thanks for the memories!!! Let's continue to make more of them!!!
Sc2 is a game where you never stop learning. It brings out all your emotions when you put your heart into it, whether its playing with friends and meeting new people, or trying to make it to GM.
For a few years of my life, I'd say Sc2 helped me cope with health issues as it was a way to deal with stress.
Coming home off of 3rd shift work, I got to hear what the beautiful tasteless and artosis had to say in GSL!
Many things and people to love when SC2 comes around. Will never get old.
My dad purchased SC:BW for me when I was about 7 years old. Growing up playing StarCraft every day, all day, every summer, every weekend, with friends, with my dad, with my cousins. It was a grand experience growing up. It taught me a lot about dedication and how to improve. It taught me a bit about programming (SC:BW editor). I learned about bots and all of the sort through battle.net.
Fast forward to SC2:WoL. I purchased SC2 for my dad. Having had such fun experiences with him as a kid. Now I'm far better than him, but we still play together occasionally, just like 15 or so years ago now. He still plays mostly team games, and mostly Protoss. I still play Zerg.
I remember very emotional moments where SC helped make me happy. I remember very happy moments that SC contributed to. I remember time stamps in my life, for example when my dog got hit by a car on a hot summer day in 2003. I was playing Brood War when my dad came in to break the news.
SC, I believe, has made me a better person and has certainly taught me a lot. I thank my dad for buying it for me at such a young age, and I thank Blizzard for making the best game on the planet.
When I went to college after graduating HS, I didn't really know anyone. I didn't really enjoy high school, and I was only going to college because I was told that I needed to, by my parents, by my teachers, by everyone.
My Freshman year was terrible. I was a shut-in, I didn't get along with my roommate, I didn't know anyone, I didn't really even have any friends to talk to from back home. I ended up meeting someone who played BW. I had played back in high school, and I was never very good, but it gave me a common ground with someone. For the next 4-5 years, we played StarCraft: Brood War, and then StarCraft 2 together, along with some other people we met who also loved the game.
I ended up getting an apartment, and we would get together to watch the GSL Finals, staying up until 3, 4 or 5 in the morning just to watch together, half the time passing out before we even got to see the final game.
StarCraft basically got me through college, it found me my friends, and I still love to play it, even if I suck at it. I still watch the tournaments, still keep up with the pro-scene. It's such a huge part of my life, I can't imagine ever giving it up.
#WhyILoveSC2 SC was the first game that I played on a PC and it's epic story drew me in like no other game ever has. There was not a single character that I did not love or love to hate. The year SC2 came out, I was in the military. After all the time I spent waiting for SC2, it was everything I hoped for and more. I was quickly drawn into the game in a much bigger way as I began to watch pro games and follow pro players throughout the WCS. Now we come to the final chapter and i can't wait to see what is in store.
WHY I LOVE STARCRAFT? I remember playing broodwar enjoying hours and hours of fun although I was never really good with the game. Then it came out, STARCRAFT II WoL trailer came out, I was in so much shock and could never believe that the best game in the world is taking everything to the next level! I remember watching Stephano playing on the big screen and Jaedong being his best! I went through a tough time and somewhat of depression during WoL to early HotS.
Thank you Blizzard and Team Liquid for bring competitive entertainment! It would be amazing if I won but i don't expect to win this prize but if you were to notice my gratitude and see how much Starcraft ll means to me, that is all I ask. <3 ^^ Congratulations 5 Glorious Years !

That's a very unique feature within StarCraft, if you play other games (FPS, Mobas)... players typically blame others but in SC2, you can't.
I find that to be really cool and unique about SC2. Also because SC2 has such great memories and personalities.
Well u cannot blame any teammate but ppl love to blame their loss on opponents race being OP, they always gotta blame something. Also what i love is that it doesnt rely on luck, well maybe in some cases there are a small bit of luck involved , though small bit of luck can be pretty good for a game, at least on viewers perspective. And i love the community around, and all esport events and playing around with build orders is a big deal for me, and the thing u keeping your mind healthy by thinking of many things at the same time and multitasking. It must be supergood for the brain tbh, though its very stressful game, not like u can lean back and take a cup of coffe while playing ;D its nice to have hearthstone as an option that u can stop by and relax ;D
