StarCraft was never meant to be played the way Koreans played

Who tf is flaSh? Boxer’s Terran ruled Brood War

So escapism

Where is the rest?

wheres part two

What foresight to start the Korean Esports Association. I watched BoxeR growing up. Now, I only really follow League of Legends' professional scene.
It makes sense why Korean teams have been so dominant in RTS games, they were way ahead of the curve and established infrastructure to grow young talent at a very early time.

Sad to see that in Korea, at the very beggining of e-sports they considered it as an actual profession, while in my country, Brazil, 20 years latter this is still a debate.

I was much better than XDsGrrr back in the day, Koreans feared me, lolololol. I thought my invite to Korea was spam mail so I stayed in university. Not many know the true #1 world didn't even compete.

Back in 2000 when i was first introduced to starcraft brood war, i was blown away with it's gameplay. I find myself playing all day with friends during weekends and sometimes during weekdays after school. Looking back now it was one of the fun days during my highschool days.

Cannot wait for the next part!

if anyone is wondering, the title of this video is bait. there is no satisfying answer in the video.

3 months old with no part 2, sorry to say but you fell flat on your face with this video. dont recommend channel clicked

Yeah, this 3 part thing is pretty stupid move man. You should have waited until you finished the whole documentary and released it as one long video. It would have garnered more views and more acclaim. What you did here was a really bad move for your views and monetization.

?
SlayerSBoxer was much more popular and influential than Flash..

get to the fucking point brother

This video tells me precisely nothing about why or how Starcraft as a game was not meant to be played how Koreans played it.
I thought this was going to be about how broken Starcraft is fundamentally as an RTS game, or how it basically ruined RTS games for generations because every other company tried to emulate Blizzards success instead of making RTS games

When's part II?

My CD key is 3716316338971 I don't mind if 19 other Koreans use it... I don't really play anymore

Can you make a video on why Mexicans are so good at Street Fighter

4737593590087 was my SC1 CD key. I still remember it. You're saying 1 key for every 20 Koreans? Where'd they get the other 19 keys, am i right? Lol. Great video. Cheers!

This is so nostalgic.. olaying broodwar over lan with my friends in the locan internet cafe.. good times.

What about the space invader tournaments we had in the 1980s? lol

In Korea, "Boxer" is cosindered the father of all professional e-sport players. He literally created a profession.

That clothing is so sick 😄

So the title was pretty just BS

Great introduction, but then the video ended. Where are the meat and bones where you make your points?

I'm sorry but the first place in the starcraft mount rushmore would be definitely Slayers Boxer, Flash would be like a spot 4.

im sorry but if you ask any korean that grew up during that time who it was that shaped the esport, not one would say flash. almost everyone would say boxer or yellow or even reach. that was a big miss. the impact of flash was definitely huge, but by the time flash was rising through the ranks, starcraft was already there to stay in korea.

where is part 2?

You mean, StarCraft was never meant to be played... well.

I could be misremembering the amount but Logitech sponsored a Command and Conquer tournament for $100,000 in the 90s, early days, during Dialup. (I just found a book the history of competitive gaming, it said TEN gave away 250,000 over 4 seasons in 1997).

All games aren't meant to be played the way Koreans play lol behold my LoL bot farm

What a great video. So much nostalgia, I miss the 90's

I didn't know that KeSPA was a government organization
Koreans really know how to win the Civilization cultural victory. They recognize all the opportunities and have greatly succeeded in capitalizing on them

This how you make a video. WOW!

"One legally purchased copy for every 20 Koreans."
It took me a few seconds to realize this wasn't about piracy. It just meant 5% of Koreans owned Starcraft (legally).

Well I may not be Korean but I also don't play starcraft

The video in the title starts at 7 minutes and a half into this 10 min video. What clickbait.

I think the first three on mount rushmore are Flash, Jaedong, Bisu undoubtedly

Watching this video felt like watching an episode of Chart Party from secret base.

PC 방 is something that came from an era where people couldn’t afford pc computers but i will be honest PC cafes are a perfect place to hang with friends and really can create a competitive environment

Where is part 2?

part 2!

Starcraft to koreans is what HoMM 3 is to eastern europeans

PC방 좋다~~^^

"StarCraft was never meant to be played the way Koreans played," - and in this documentary, you'll never find out anything about our clickbait title as we ramble on about everything else but not at all about what got you to click.

part 2?

Korea paved the way for all eSports
