Somehow, I've finally found them somewhere deep inside my room. I was pretty sure I brought them with me when I moved to Cadana in 2002, but it took 9 years to find them. I was only grade 9 back then, and the only thing I cleary remember is that I only had money for a single subway ride back home and missed the very last train after staying up for the whole thing including the award ceremony.
Those late 90's haircuts are golden I feel so old now.
Wow I never knew koreans actually had hair like that for a time.
such a awesome treasure indeed. Much respect!
Good GOD their hair! That is rather cool though.
11 years.....Antique? Still a nice poster.
then, how did you get home?^^ nice!!
OMG nice ! I was 5 when you earned this poster :D

11 years or almost the entire lifetime of the biggest ESPORT in history. I'm jealous.
Oh my god, I did not know Kerrigan played brood war when she was a human+ Show Spoiler + I'm talkin bout the 4th person from the left
Thats pure gold! Awesome. I think there are a lot ppl out there who would give a lot of $$ for this precious poster
HOT-Forever had the best hair. He was also my favorite player since he would win with 6lings vs whole armies by playing really agressive and keeping the other player in his base. (that's the 4th from left lol )

Uhh have you watched starleagues? Past couple of leagues it has been a zerg fest all around.

Before Boxer came and subsequently made BW mainstream in Korea. This is truly an amazing find and something that will surely gain value over time.

You have an 11 year old poster and this is your first post on TL? Where have you been? :D

this exactly, its like a wayne gretzky hockey card, you should actually get it covered. Not laminated but covered. RELEVANT:+ Show Spoiler + Keep it secret. Keep it safe just think if starcraft ever blows up to become mainstream one day, they will cover its history so you will see all of these guys, and that poster will become a legendary poster especially with an autograph. too bad not all the autographs are on it.
Man i loved HOTforever, Grrrr, and GARIMTO. I miss the old BW days very much T_T
Jealousy to the max. Very very cool.
His ID was (xD's)Grrr back when I played Starcraft 1 (Not BW).. Didn't know about TL back then, but I heard his name being whispered in many a battle.net channel.. His name was so mythic and magical to me Ahh.. The good old days

2000 OGN King of Kings - Game List Interesting how many players off-raced back then: TheBOy, Freemura and Grrrr... Guillaume even played all three races against Kook Ki Bong (including ZvZ !). Also, I am pretty sure the finals were the first VODs of Korean ESPORT that I saw.

wow, old, freaking awesome
This is really cool, love old memorabilia I was probably in 5th grade when this was made, right about the time I picked up the game. Good times
I only didn't recognize the first two in the list. Heh, Garimto's hairstyle. Must have been great for a Canadian to be there as Grrrr wins.
OMG EPIC!!! haha nice, lol at haircuts back then (not bad, but totally different lol)
So jelly (Still chuckling at Grrrr, the last white player to compete and beat Koreans in a BO5)

Usually, busses run later than subways. Not having enough money for a bus, I had to ask the driver that my mom would pay the fare on my stop. Thankfully, things went smoothly and I safely got home. I didn't live in Seoul back then, so busses took more money than subways.

If you look at relative lifespans of events, then it could be considered an "antique". Maybe "vintage" is a better word, but i dunno. It depends on how far you want to take the idea of something's age & history
