Tell me and see if you can beat mine.
By the way everything I say is true. You can ask my mother.
I used to play soccer. My dad was one of the coaches, and he was very competitive. My soccer skill wasn't the best but it would be a lie to say that I wasn't "one of the better players". Thus, he pressured me really hard to get better. Most of the time I would goof off and talk to other kids, purposefully fall on the ground during a practice game, or cut corners when doing running drills. I'm not sure if anyone even liked me on my team.
Well one day this kid named John (who was known for being smart) told everyone about this awesome game called Starcraft. At the time my expertise lied in Tiberian Sun. After he explained that Starcraft was similar, I was determined to buy it. Not two days later I begged my Grandmother to go and purchase it for me. She did, as she usually does. She has done so with every Pokemon game up to Ruby (yeah that is kind of recent fuck off).
Having 56k at the time, starting the program up and going online right away was my mission. Since back when I was in 5th grade not everyone had the internet. So Earthlink to me was the absolute shit. Although it sucked when I stayed home "sick" and my mother was like "Why can't I get through the line? Were you playing video games all day?" And I'd tell her oh she must have called when I was on the phone with 'Grandma', which was a blatant lie. Think she believed me though. Anyways, so logged in and played a few games immediately with Zerg. Blizzard maps. I'll never forget my first game on Challenger. Some Terran who had a sick ranking on the ladder was playing me. I don't remember what the fuck I was doing at the time but all I remember was four vultures entered my base before my Spawning Pool was done. At that time we exchanged some remarks like "Fuck you hacker" and he replied quite meanly. If memory serves me correct his name was "MSpiral".
Well after doing some UMS, which I found way more entertaining at the time, I met a guy in some massing game. We played a shitload of massing games 2v2 and he taught me everything there was to know about them. Mainly how they were all rigged and we needed to be Goku and Vegeta. Anyways we chilled in some chat channel and he then proceeded to tell me he fingered chicks and worshipped Satan. That is cool and all, and then I log off. So what the fuck do I do next? I go up to my mom and am like "YO MOM I MET THIS GUY AND HE WORSHIPS THA DEVIL AND STICKS HIS FINGERS INSIDE OF GIRLS". And that is why I am not currently in Korea.
Anyone else?

lolz
it was back in april 98
i was playing a lot of wc2 so had been looking forward to sc for a while
then one day my brother surprised me through having gotten it wohooo!!
that bastard had already played the 4 first levels of terran campaigns before I got to see it though, but then we played a game me protoss him zerg on diablo (5 player map, I started near 4, him around 6)
i remember we were just building all units and stuff like that not really knowing anything, but after 40+ minutes I won the game
i remember being left with the impression that zerglings > reavers rofl

Haha back in april 98 also. Was waiting for the game to come out, bought it on day 1 when it was available in my city.
I did the first Terran mission and logged in straight to bnet (got account #2xxx something) joined the first game I found : it was a FFA on bloodbath. I chose Terran and I remember there were 3 Terrans and 1 Protoss and the Protoss guy was way better (or at least it felt that way) and just rolled over me with Zealots !
Thats why I started off with P and only did zealot rushes for I don't know how many games before switching to Zerg after getting my ass handed to me by 2 hatch hydra rushes.

lol my first real game was during the summer/fall of 98 vs a neighbor who had just bought the game.
I was toss and mass cannoned all the chokes available on whatever map it was( can't recall) thinking turtling was smart as P (lol) anywho she was terran and since i placed only as many pylons as necessary she went battle cruisers and ghosts, then proceeded to yamato and nuke all my pylons to deactivate my cannons, i massed goons but lost. . . damn tanks
thats right my first game was a loss to a girl.

I saw some guys playing SC in a net cafe, and i remember those huge, badass energy-golems (archons) ripping trough the masses of ugly creatures, and than i saw zerg buildings morphing, which was the most disgusting thing i saw till that in a monitor. (i was like 10 year old or so)
I knew i have to play this game, i wasnt' that excited since i saw Wolfenstein 3d, so i got into it, got better than all of my friends, than i entered bnet, when i was able to beat eveyone i got to know online, i entered iccup as a barely D ranked player

So In 1999 I was with a bunch of friends who had some speed. We all began to rail it. A few hours later we got some 40oz and vodka+oj. Everyone except the driver chick was faded, she kept doing speed instead. We drove around all night doing more speed. Someone had the idea to stop at staples and steal some air duster/dust off and we took big hits of that crazy shit.
So later that night we all go back to my one friend's house who's parents were out of town and we all crash out on his floor/room. The one asian girl who was 18 (I was 15) was laying with me cause we had a little connection going on. The next day she began sucking my dick right there on the floor while everyone was sleeping. It was kinda weird. A few hours later someone showed up with a bunch of 40oz and we all got drunk again. She pulled me aside when no one was looking into his sister's room who was gone as well. And she got on top and started grinding me.
We fucked a good 30 minutes and the other people figured out what was going on and kept trying to barge in and throw shit at us from the crack in the door or whatever. It was funny. I couldn't cum and I was really drunk after like a 40 and a 32.

There was this gay Filipino dude in my high school who kept bragging about how good he was in Starcraft so I bought the game, played it for a few weeks and then kicked his ass. That is how my Starcraft story began.
I still suck though.

I believe it was during the school year of 2001. My friends had started talking about StarCraft during Art class, and I always tried to talk with them based off my knowledge of the Terran Demo Campaign. I got owned when they mentioned High Templar. No idea what it was. Then my friend had a birthday party, my other friend gave him the battle chest, and we watched him play. He was so gosu, with the 60 APM, thinking Zero Clutter was for pros, and playing on Brood War. Since he had the Battle Chest, and he already had regular SC, he just gave me his copy.
I thought it was the coolest thing ever, never playing the entire SC game before. Later, a completely unrelated friend taught me how to make Archons, and what Arbiters do. I started playing fastest, getting cannon rushed all the time. Switched to low-money because of forums, starcraft.org, gosugamers.net, warboards.org (Now starcraft.org), etc. I kept reading guides for Brood War, never anything for Vanilla.
After reading a bunch of guides, I was convinced MMF was imba, switched to Terran, and bought Brood War. After that, it was just switching races, and getting better.

It was probably sometime back in '02 - '04, one of my friends who lived across the street had StarCraft on his computer. I remember seeing a bunch of marines raping up some zerglings and was instantly hooked. I need to get that game. In 5th grade(a year or so later) a friend of mine let me borrow the CD (which didn't come with the cd-key so I was stuck playing single player) and I played through the campaign multiple times (using cheat codes XMFD).

My older brother got SC in summer or fall 98 and since we shared a PC back then I was introduced to it right away. I remember playing through all the missions except the Zerg ones (I think I stopped at the one where youre just running around with Hunter Killers and are supposed to rescue stuff). Few months after we finally got Internet (128k ISDN yay) and of course started to play online immediately.
I played pretty much everything (low, bgh, fast) and it was just amazing. People from my town would also start to play and soon we all got stuck on playing moneymaps which was the shit back then because in Germany there has been a really huge Vanilla moneymap community.
For my first online experience, I really can't remember what map or race I played. But what I do know is I loved Protoss from day one and never even thought about switching to another race for the whole entire 11 yrs I'm playing online. The very first game I can remember though was a FFA vs random ppl on B.Net on Diablo. I was so confused by the map and just built random stuff but I won after like 2:30h.
Sadly it'll be never like that again

Winter 99'. My parents invited some friends over and they brought their son with them (was 2 years older then me). At that time I was playing Warcraft II. They said that if I liked WC II so much I might be interested in StarCraft. The next day I went to his house and watched him play the zerg campaign for about 2h and decided to give the game a try. He said that he actually wasn't into it too much, and preferred to play sports games (racing and football). So I borrowed it from him for 1 week, then 1 month, 1 year.... until he said I could keep it. In return I gave him some gameboy crappy games.
I don't remember my 1st game, but I have a memorable one from 99'. We played 3v3 on BGH and everyone chose protoss. We all massed goons off of 1 base and decided to meet in the middle for the showdown. It was soooooo cool seeing 6 different colours of goons on the battlefield freezing up xD.

Hmm, my cousin introduced me to it, being a video game enthusiast as early as 8, I managed to pick up the basics of the game. I was more of the casual player back then and I used to cheat my way to finish the campaign.
My first online experience was a game with my cousin, we were both Terrans and we got raped hard by the Zerg AI. I remember desperately building a turret to detect a lurker and I can't recall if I didn't finish the turret or if the turret didn't detect the lurker....
Got back to the game December of 2007, played a FFA game with my friends because we were bored with DotA and CS. That FFA game turned to a 1v7 rape (me being a part of the 7) and I decided to get better to beat my friend who raped us all. Too bad he does not want to play with me when he discovered that I played the game day and night..

I was very obsessed with wc2, and was even able to get my dad to pay for kali for me at the time (no small feat). We weren't very well off, and had a pretty terrible computer at the time. I still played the hell out of wc2 though, and later diablo... which was borrowed from a friend, and was my first experience in hiding things on computer from inept parents. My family was strictly religious, so even getting games like wc2 and starcraft took some effort, but diablo was a serious no.
Anyway, I was obviously into anything Blizzard created at the time, so I picked up SC when it came out (thankfully my dad was into sci-fi, and actually liked playing SC himself, so it was smooth-ish). We hadn't upgraded our computer, but it could still run SC alright. The 28.8 modem left quite a bit to be desired, though.
I played a bit of the 1v1 ladder at the time, but for some reason never got into it as much as I did wc2, at least at first. I had a lot of fun playing, but I ended up getting sidetracked on b.net at the time. I became a bit of a social whore in BC1 (Blizzard Chat 1), and most of my games for a long time were big ffas with friends there. I lagged miserably in 8 player plains of snow, hunters and such, and I honestly don't remember why people let me in games in the first place. Seriously.
I remember finally around the time replays were introduced (something I was so incredibly amazed at), I saw some replays of a few really good players at the time, some of which were top wc2 players as well. That got me into becoming good, but eventually I got caught up in MMOs and... well, that's a completely different story. I didn't get into following the SC pro-scene heavily until years later...

Summer 98, a friend of mine got a 2nd comp, we modified a small room in his house to install both comps and then started playing wc2 and red alert. Soon after his brother came back with a brand new disk of sc.
We must have spent 10+ hour to find how to play on lan with 2 comp and only 1cd (for some reason there was no way to burn the cd), once that was done, our lives were ready to be fucked up.
At start we played a lot of 2vs comps on maps like orbital death or hunters, but i grew tired of it and went to b.net (where i got my ass kicked pretty hard). 1st game on internet was a 3v3 against buddies playing together, called themselves the "007 clan", i dont know if they were good, but its sure that we were complete noobs, the defeat was swift and bloody as hell. It was fun enough for me to stay 10 years though.

I had seen a footage/pics of sc and was already at the stage of addiction on sim city 2000 and wc 1/2(plus other various pc games). When I finally got my hands on the actual game I went straight to b.net and got owned by lings. So I played zerg and never knew how to make lings and lost again. Straight to campaign I went.

I was a veteran WC2 player and so were my friends. I had a rich friend who always got the new games before I did.
During new years 98->99, I went over to his house and he was playing it (SC Vanilla). It was one of the Terran missions... the one where they introduce wraiths and dropships. I stared in awe at the screen. It was literally the most awesome thing I had ever seen. The colors, the shapes, the sounds (especially the SCVs mining, I love that sound for some reason) entranced me.
Ever since then I have been addicted.

Played LAN with my cousin. I played Terran, he played Protoss. He DT-rushed me three times. He never told me I had to build detectors.
|
I won my very first game of starcraft I ever played, I hadn't even seen this game before.
It was vs a friend I got to know trough diablo1, he had already played some sc. It was TvT, and I won with massing tanks and using engineering bay to see up to the cliffs inside his base =) I was so clever^^
