Three years ago on July 27th StarCraft 2 was unleashed upon the world, a day I remember very vividly because it was the first midnight release I ever attended (even now the only other one I've been to was HotS - which I was at as a professional) and also because I wrote the newspost on TeamLiquid to commemorate it.

It's hard to believe it's already been three years, from humble beginnings in the corner of an MLG in Raleigh to packing auditoriums and stadiums world wide. Remember the good times, with HuK winning a PvP finals in a day when people thought 4-gating was the only viable Protoss build, and MorroW winning an IEM over IdrA with a 5-rax reaper build that was patched nearly immediately after. Or the time Fruitdealerwon a GSL in an age when no one thought Zergs could win, defeating every opponent as an imagined underdog before the match.

Let's celebrate with a blast from the past, an amusing video with made with Liquid`TLO clowning people for Day[9]'s release party: TLOwnage.
