Always thought the Dota 2 Hot Bid was shorter.
He's more compact, which makes him more aerodynamic.

that was one of the funnest threads, Nada was like 33-3 with very few games going over 20 minutes, Yellow was like 99-7 or something insane
People were so excited about the idea of just playing them that they didn't care about ladder rank at all. You'd have the pro smurfs in C4 or something because they just started and the top players would throw all their points away just for a game with them.
Those were just different times though. You had to manually report all your games back then!

i think that period coincided with when bwchart came out so everyone just loaded all the korea dream team replays into it. saw a terran with 400 apm - 'yep, that's definitely nada'

There should be a starcraft history thread imo. So many questions I want to ask there.

Only difference I can see is that with more activity (assuming SC:R helps the scene greatly), there might be more players around for practicing with etc... but I don't see it making that much of a difference tbh.

foreign all stars vs korean clans will probably be the extent of interaction between us and koreans.

Day9, tasteless, artosis, all these other people that get critiziced for the strangest things, had been playing BW, fueled by passion for over a decade by the time SC2 came out and all these oppurtunities to make a living came along.
SC2 is a great game too, it's the most modern RTS out there and it's created a lot of epic moments/gameplay on really big platforms and since it came out Esports has only grown each year....
But for people who literally grew up with brood war, and loved it so much that they travelled the world to play tournaments, and grasp at straws just to be able to do anything for the game they loved, you should only be happy they are coming back at the first chance they get to experience this game again in modern times.
For years, there was hardly a playerbase left, Brood War didn't run well on modern pc's and there were definitely not any tournaments. It was really difficult to come back to try and play that in a completly dead scene, compared to sc2 which had tournaments every month, and wasn't a bad game to begin with.
SC:Remastered is ensuring that there might be a competitive environment for BW again, And I hope to see everyone come back and play because it's going to be fucking awesome. Those people we all grew up with while playing the game with and against each other, they are friends. Throughout the years everyone went their own way, a lot of people in sc2 or other esports related jobs, and a lot of people in academic carreers or other 'real world' carreers. A lot of us lost touch. I look forward to play with all my friends again in a game that all of us love...That's the most exciting part about all of this.
Even though i've played SC2 for 6 years, for me personally, it was never the same as BW. I had a really good time travelling, competing, playing countless tournaments everywhere. Being part of such a highly competitive scene was really fun, no matter what the game was. In the first few years the entire WC3 scene and BW scene came together and everyone tried their best at this new game, it was exciting as hell. Competition is a huge part for anyone who gets into difficult RTS games to try and improve himself. So it didn't matter that the game was sometimes stale, lots of great games were happening too in SC2. But it could never compare to the pure love you felt when you were a child trying to play BW and create art..
Well said Ret.

He also lost against Liquid`Venice during that wgtour run, which I genuinely believe is the only time progamer Nada ever lost against a player with less than a third of his apm.
Pretty sure skyinthesea was never one of the ones caught hacking.
I don't know if renoma (aka Eliza) was officially caught hacking (he won one of the WSLs, I think it was season 3), but that was always the rumor. I almost wish he was though, because that adds an extra layer of awesomeness to his games against Trek in the knockout stage, who I think got caught hacking in that tournament or in some other wgtour game around that time. Also...since the statute of limitations surely are up...I don't think it was ever revealed at the time, but the reason renoma played terran and zerg in the final tournament (after playing zerg all season) was because he had his teammate Freshen play certain matchups for him.
Those were some of the most fun days on BW. Hopefully there are similarly fun days ahead for BW!

Yes, all of that was just a trolling, made for some reason

Man, this feels like a thread from 2004 with how many TL people and players are posting. The only thing we are missing is Rekrul.
