Just wanted to say thank you all so much for your awesome response. I am truly flattered and humbled that this video has become so popular.
StarCraft and eSports have really affected me in a spectacular way. I have rarely been so enthusiastic about something in my entire life. I’ve long wanted to help the community grow and refine, and I’m so glad that my first ever real contribution has received such a stunning response! To clarify some stuff:
-- This montage wasn’t meant to be exhaustive. I know that some amazing people (Fruitdealer, MC, a few foreigners) and events (IEM, ESL, Homestory Cup, the literally dozens of other foreign tournaments) weren’t well represented, which sucks. Someone even mentioned “American bias”, which was hilarious since I’m Australian lol. I wish I could have included them all, but it was pretty hard finding footage for what I did end up including – let alone every big name to grace the SC2 scene.
-- My geographical knowledge sucks, so the dots on the map were supposed to be vague and weren't meant to mean anything substantial. Sorry!
-- There are a few editing mistakes, and stylistically the editing could’ve seen improvement. This took me over two weeks to put together - too long for me, too short to create anything truly magnificent - so I was a bit fatigued by the end of it. If there’s a next time, I’ll start it well in advance and use all the skills I’ve got to make it even better. :D
-- Tracklist: Steve Jablonsky - Arrival to Earth, Treat - Roar, Blood Angel - Expand Your Horizon, Swedish House Mafia - Save the World
Once again, so incredibly humbled! I literally trembled at the response, and to see people like HuK liking it… man, I’m just so amazed. I love you all!
