Today I sit by my desk contemplating every and each word I am about to put on the paper, because a new age has come, winds are changing and filling air with new and foreign fragrances, terrifying yet so intriguing.
It is the odor of Change, a new world order. But to understand significance, sheer extent of recension looming above us we must take a look back for everything has a beginning as well as end.

"I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt have no other gods before Me."
- The Bible, Exodus

In the begginning there was a Chaos, dull, dark and terrible to behold, yet from this Blizzard of possibilities emerged Art, a way of living and philosophy of life. Many experienced it as a passing shadow, a few adopted it, most were blind to its utter perfection but there were two, who embraced it to its fullest, two messiahs, where could be only one and thus the battle ensued for there can be only one Emperor.

And so they settled down. Lim Yo Hwan assembled a team, a team to win the stars, for he knew, this is not over, not ever whilst Storm Zerg draws breath he must have successors and when Hong Jin Ho saw that he joined with the best in a futile attempt to turn the tide yet they tried and they gave their best in a clash of titans.

Yes, KTF of old was destined to lose, never to defeat their rivals in red, but they fought, their battles was hard and terrible and even outmatched they never surrendered, never backed down and died in Style.

"Remember us." As simple an order as a king can give. "Remember why we died." For he did not wish tribute, nor song, nor monuments nor poems of war and valor. His wish was simple. "Remember us," he said to me. That was his hope, should any free soul come across that place, in all the countless centuries yet to be. May all our voices whisper to you from the ageless stones, "Go tell the Spartans, passerby, that here by Spartan law, we lie." (Dilios)

More followers of the truth gathered and more teams were formed to compete for eternal glory in the thin air of Olympus.
Yes, (T)

BoxeR emerged victorious but his success was also his undoing, a bittersweet failure, his Dynasty his undoing as Cheater terran, who loved victory - (T)

iloveoov.
But as the scene grow more contenders appeared, Tornado Terran - (T)

NaDa being the most distinguishable.

By the power of terran they established their dominance as lead Titans, Bonjwas of the old, each with his ups and downs, but their greatness was indisputable.
And yet there still were contenders for their throne God of War - (Z)

July, Protoss heroe (P)

Reach and Dreamer toss - (P)

Nal_rA, The Perfect Terran - (T)

XellOs and uncountable others, because that was the essence of Starcraft, philosophy of life - to be the best, to strive for perfection, ultimate victory.

Never compromise. Not even in the face of Armageddon. That's always been the difference between us.. (Rorschach)

Yet other other races grumbled, too long and and too hard was Terran supremacy, whole Olympus stirred after one challenger after another rose to fight and were soundly beaten down, one after another till The Maestro came. (Z)

sAviOr of the zerg race unleashed terrible fury of long underestimated race to overthrow old Titans in a perfect symphony of destruction.
Gods cheered, at last was their time to rule the Olympus, to engrave their names in the history, but they were sorely mistaken for Maestro established dominance more terrible and complete anyone ever imagined was possible.

Dismayed gods turned to their best assassin, (P)

Bisu was his name, but after he, with the help of (T)

firebathero crushed (Z)

sAviOr and rescued the Olympus The Revolutionist was his title among low and high.

The Fall of the last of the Great Bonjwas ushered a new age, a new State of Starcraft where even Tyrant (Z)

Jaedong and The Ultimate Weapon is only best of the equal.

All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others. G.Orwell

Yet the Blizzard was not done, they saw they have created perfection, but also observed, that it is appreciated only by few and they were confident they could do better, to capture hearts of all. And So they did. A New Age is coming, Age of Men! Gods still linger in their heights confident to never abandon their teachings, but a new religion is spreading across masses - Starcraft 2 has come!
Embrace the new, but learn about Gods and Titans of old!

*My only wish is that this blog is only a buildup for all these great articles (of whom I have linked some) found at ‘’Final edits’’’-link for these are undoubtedly some of the best pieces of writing about Starcraft ever created.
Everything has history, a remarkable source, this is it for foreign starcraft scene as ancient Greece is for Western civilization. Learn your history!
