It was definitely later in 2010 that I started following, but I especially remember Husky casting at MLG and HuK winning against MC. I didn't know it at the time, but HuK was one of the few players to win a championship (prior to the fall of Kespa) against a strong Korean lineup.

It's honestly wild to think that it's been a whole decade of Starcraft 2, and two whole decades of Broodwar now.

Despite all that's changed in my life over those 20 years, Starcraft has always been a constant!

Watched at the beginning until around HotS, then stopped and came back 3-4 years ago.

Started watching SC2 videos in 2017, mostly old Husky Videos and Lowkos replay casts on YT. First live game I watched was early 2018 IEM Katowice.

Dreamhack Winter 2010 final between Mana and Naama is the first competitive game I remember watching, and I kept watching ever since.

I've been watchin since the beta. TLO has been my favourite progamer back then and he played one of the first professional games that I watched. Back then I have almost exclusively watched German broadcasters, such as BodomReaper, Khaldor and later Mori. I was actually pretty late on the Korean Starcraft scene, I could only watch these 240p vids via Gom Player. I was actually more occupied playing Raynor Party than ladder

I really followed nonstop in early 2012, but had seen other stuff sporadically in 2010 and 2011

I stumbled across TBs first SanDisk invitational by accident. I had been playing the game for a while but no idea or interest in esport. That changed. Must have been 2015.

Started in the Broodwar time. But the fever never got lost. Than Wings, Heart and now Legacy. SC2 is a wonderful game!
Congrats!

Chose 10 but its 9.5, began watching youtube casts (HDstarcraft and husky) between open season 2 and 3, so got scarred by open season 3 terran bunker/worker pulls.

Been in and out since WoL launch. I liked SC back in the BW days, but I never followed the competitive scene much, since I had other priorities and obligations, but when SC2 came out, that wasn't the case, so I got into watching a lot. Never had people interested in playing often, which demotivated me to play much more than campaign and VS AI games. I just watched competitive stuff every so often, kept up with reading news. But once LotV came out and matured by a couple years, I found people to play and chat about SC2 with so I'm back with more consistency.
Never quit. Never back down.
