Only WC3/FT for me, but I mostly liked playing the custom games (like...the original Aeon of Strife (ok I know it was originally a BW map!) and DotA maps) and the RPGs. To be honest, I never really got into Warcraft because I found it difficult to tell whose units were whose. I also didn't much care for the aesthetic and the hero aspect of it. And there weren't any audience-stopping moments like there were in BW.

What's the funniest/craziest moment you've seen in BW/SC2? Like FBH jumping into the sea to celebrate a win, or someone doing crazy shit during a pro game like Larva.

Off the top of my head:
Jaedong v Flash Nate MSL Game 3 (who can forget how crazy this was and how many people grabbed pitchforks.)
Tossgirl v Yellow Destination where Yellow won with only drones casted by the Violetak guys was hilarious.
Any of FBH’s ceremonies.
Much’s pylon heart vs FBH on Othello
Yellow vs Bisu HBR was a crazy game. The world collectively creamed its pants that day.
And of course, the greatest moment ever was Deezer vs Combat-ex grudge match. Followed up closely with Combat-ex almost beating Parting in WCG (would’ve won too if he just waited for more zealots).

One game that really comes to mind is the Jaedong's Constipation game. And Lazy's self-kill nexus versus Shuttle in 41TV SL. NoNy's arbiterrrssssss and my all-time favorite foreigner moment; Idra's cancel CC into an actual, GG ragequit. Also there are a number of unnotable "THIS GAME" games. Outside the game, I can remember Hyun's drunken selection ceremony entrance and Leta's crossdressing antics and the pros doing some outdoor activities in the Afreeca era.

I'm glad you mentioned the Jaedong constipation game. I just watched it and read a thread about it. One of the funniest things I've ever seen. Any other funny moments or crazy slip ups like that you guys can think off? Like Free's Pylon blunder against Flash.

I'm loving this thread. Helps me discover the brood war history that I didn't get to see. I was to busy with work and WoW at the time.

What keeps you motivated to consistently do such high-quality volunteer work for TL and stick with it for so long?
I ask because I'm currently running an online tournament organization for the game Minion Masters and I'm having a hard time acquiring volunteers and ensuring everyone stays motivated.

Mostly the thing that motivates me and has kept me motivated for a long time is the people I meet and met doing this. If your volunteers don't feel like part of a group, they will not stay from my experience, so make them feel at home

I wanted to be a part of something big... Something huge. TL was THE news website for all things related StarCraft. Being able to contribute and eventually join staff was a dream come true. And I got to do it all for the game that I love the most in this world. I couldn't see a downside.

Because I wanted to become esports famous! Did I make it?

On a more serious note, I just really liked TL's coverage in general and once I got back in BW, I liked SSL coverage. I thought their write-ups were great and did my own writeups (you'll have to see my 20k blog for details). Also, I liked TL in general and wanted to contribute so I just kept contributing and contributing till I'm here. Thing is, you want or rather you need to create such a great and fun atmosphere that anyone who joins will have a hard time leaving the group and people will want to volunteer. Not sure what the incentive is but building relationships is key. I've lost track of how much jokes and convos we've had in BW staff, lots of good stuff and even those that have "left" are still there.
