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. No no. I wanted to take over the OP a while ago but Templar had more time than me. | ||

On the subject of TvT in early WoL, the first time I played vs TLO was right after he joined TL. We were playing on Kulas Ravine and the first contact our units made was in the middle of the map. We were both Thor rushing, and I knew right then I would like this guy lol | ||

If you track down a replay give us a link!Very grateful to you for finding the opponent though! Also hilarious to see a bunch of comments about how its an old, common cheese  . I'll update if I ever manage to get my hands on it. | ||

I like to think of purity and industry as scrap station's twisted, evil sibling. | ||

There's a reason the pvz expand build was 3 gate expand with mass sentries and sim city (and they still got busted all the time). Do you think neeb would remember the proper building locations for 3 gate expand on xel naga caverns? How would a Terran 1 rax expand against protoss when they don't have quick reapers? Yes there were some concepts that the early players were just not focusing enough on, like creep spread and scouting. But the rushes were powerful and the maps were small. Did yellow get triple bunker rushed from boxer because he was bad or ignorant? No, of course not. The build was strong and boxer had amazing micro. Would a B Zerg hold it today? Not likely. | ||

Daybreak and Frost in particular were among the very best that we've seen. Metropolis gave us that insane Mvp vs Squirtle match in 2012 as well. | ||
