It's the first TL thread I've ever read when someone linked it on 2+2 like 4 years ago.

Why in the hell does TL not have an archival topic history sub-forum?

it used to have a hall of fame section, but most of the threads were silly things like how do i download ram

i'm not sure why they got rid of it

what? there is only 1 epic thread about asking how to download ram.

oh and how to forget about veg

It's pretty much the same thing. SC2 isn't mature yet, so there is a lot of hype and easy money, but the life lessons are the same. Pro-gaming is one of the worst professions.

Why was this bumped?

Did something happen?

I read hits not too long ago such a great read, really sad and inspiring at the same time.

For some it is great, for others it isnt, for some it may even be terrible. But you cant say that it is generally terrible.

When I read Rekrul's story I always had to imagine what Flash would have thought when he would have read this in 2005 when he was probably still a lot worse than Rekrul at that time...

...and ever since then Rekrul has been the bringer of bad omens, the bearer of dark secrets from the underworlds, and generally "He who is to be dreaded and believed" when he shows up in a thread.

I always enjoy reading this. It's funny that poker has played such in large role in some former BW players' lives.

interesting read. i would love to see the five year update.

edit: i would also like to see idra's story for his sc1/sc2, and the other foreigners' experience for sc2. sc2 seems so much easier to get into the "pro" scene because the scene is still in the infant stages.
