Recently, I found them uploaded to various starcraft-related youtube accounts, and watched through them. There appear to be only 5 episodes, though each is a few hours in length. They showcase some of the best games of the last 10 years (or at least the ones that MBC was broadcasting, I guess), with our good friend Nal_rA presiding.
While watching, I noticed there was very little information on most of the episodes, and decided to compile at least a listing of the games themselves. Be warned, many of the games have comments I added that could be taken as spoilers (though the vast majority of them are by no means recent).
Also, I don't know Korean at all really, so it would be awesome if someone could translate the themes for each episode, and maybe the general ideas and flow from game to game as well. Any corrections are awesome too!

That Intotherainbow vs. Cloud game is so hilarious.
|
God, that girl's accent is annoying... -____-;;
I'm watching episode 2 now. A compilation of the funnies and quirks cannot be missed. Thanks for bringing this up.

I know you're just a Nal_rA fan boy and like seeing him in those redunkulas outfits Qibing. Good write up. I know a little Korean and i believe you have them mostly correct....except you forgot to put Nal_rA at the begging of each episode.
Episode one : Nal_rA Winning Strategy Episode two: Nal_rA Craziness ect....
wonder who picked the games?.......

Wow... I got so nostalgic reading many of these, especially Peter's Toona all-kill with the record setting reaver.
I recognized and remembered almost every single one of these, with the exception of a proleague game here or there.
I feel old. 
Edit - I thought this was like a highlight clip or something, but it's litterally every game, full duration... Holy FUCK that's 9-10 hours worth of the best SC since the game was created. 
Edit 2 - I just noticed they only have up to episode 3 uploaded... that means there is another 5-6 hours on top of the earlier 9-10. WOW.

btw, I don't think the map is right for Rainbow vs Cloud in ep2...the tileset is completely different. In the video, it's jungle, yet TLPD shows it as desert?

You're right - It's the jungle version of Jim Raynor's Memory. Fixed, thanks!

Oh yeah thanks OP for the game info, I copied it to the video description on Youtube. Also thanks to LosingID8 for translating the title and description of each episode.

|

Awesome. I'll keep this updated with those translations so the thread isn't filled with my speculation only!
Also, onn youtube it might be best to split the description to specify exactly which games are in each part. Episode 1 already has that accomplished, so:
Ep2: Part 1 - first 2 games Part 2 - next 3 Part 3 - next 2 Part 4 - next 3
Ep3: Part 1 - first 4 Part 2 - next 4
That's all that's been uploaded so far.
