I know exactly which game this is just by the thumbnail. The Overlord creep drop, Spine Crawler rush. That was an all time favorite and a build I never saw again after this game.

Freesaga vs Artosis is also interesting for just being so... meh? And full of "why did he lose that" moments that make little sense in hindsight.

I know this game isn't as early as some of the others posted in here, but it does do quite a bit in showcasing how nuts WoL could be back then.


This is a GREAT game and probably my favorite one from the entire WoL era.

I do want to caution against rose-colored glasses without throwing cold water on your hype, though. This finals is mocked in the KR community for getting too big a live venue that barely anyone showed up to . It's really not a good example of how hype WoL was (best example for live turnout Korea might be Mvp vs Squirtle).
AdministratorHey HP can you redo everything youve ever done because i have a small complaint?

Not necessarily wacky, but man I loved TSL3 - especially the Semifinals series between Thorzain and Kas

There was one legendary game where a zerg built an evolutionary chamber first instead of a spawning pool. What was most hilarious to me about it was that Tastosis was really trying to figure out what was the strategy and couldn't believe it was a mistake.

I found the game again once a few years ago, but not sure any more details. I think it was a small map.


I kind of want to see that now :/

Well as I said before, shame it had to be MC vs Seed. I'm certain if a more marquee match up had been on the program that evening it would have drawn more attention. The intent was there though, a shame they couldn't have given Mvp vs Squirtle as you mention (best finals of all time IMO) the same sort of treatment.

Just bad timing. Unfortunately thanks to how hard that finals flopped it pretty much killed our chances of getting anything like it again.

I tried to start something like this a long time ago (but someone beat me to it) :

Tons of game here : https://tl.net/forum/starcraft-2/313668-cool-unusual-starcraft-2-games (from WoL to LotV)

ONLY stupid / Crazy games

Also wanted to trick people with a vod of reality vs soulkey but that would be really really mean.

Why was Nestea spine rush never done again? With the way LoTV economy works making a proxy hatch makes more sense, but it doesn't explain why it never happened again in WoL or HoTS.
Has foreign StarCraft hit rock bottom?

you need lair to drop creep from overlords, it worked against anypro because he expanded with just cannons for defense and basically no units, but that's not popular anymore

Aw shit this is a goldmine, exactly what I was hoping for, many many thanks. For a second I thought you were saying that The_Templar was your alt account lol. If I ever compile a bunch maybe I'll risk the 5 year bump

I'll express my gratitude by playing reality vs soulkey in the background sometime this week while I'm doing some work.

We really need a fun tournament on version 1 WoL. Broken reapers and all.

You could hold a map making contest with the goal of balancing it with maps, then hold a player tournament on it.

don't think anyone expected after this series, he would become a decent player.

i was actually in korea during that time and the date of the GSL finals was actually clashing with the OSL finals (last ever BW OSL too) until OGN postponed it a week in order to secure a larger venue (it was initially tied in with some esports festival thing at coex mall which eventually was deemed too small of a venue). however it turned out that the esports festival would be hosting some proleague games on that day as a replacement so that threw the last minute KTX plans to busan out of the window.

one of the most vivid memories from that trip was sitting in the lobby of the mokdong studio for the semi-final and seeing DRG just crying for a solid five minutes after his loss to MC.

So many games, and I still can't find that JulyZerg cheese. Am I the only one who was marked by it, or is it just completely lost?
I bear this sig to commemorate the loss of the team icon that commemorated Oversky's 2008-2009 Proleague Round 1 performance.

Did a bit of LR sleuthing and I think I found it: 2011 january code a versus oDin on, indeed, delta quadrant Unfortunately I don't think those vods are on anywhere other than the gomtv website and are region locked to some degree. If you track down a replay give us a link!
