I appreciate the calmer, documentary style nature of the video and the narration is really well done. I hope you continue to make videos like this, Artosis.
Thanks for this document step bro. I’m only 1 minute in and already know you should make more. You and Tastless are the ONLY true voices of StarCraft. Legends! Your passion gives me CHILLS!
As someone who has only started watching the Esports side of things in the last 5 or so years, these bits of history which give context to older players and their achievements are amazing. I hope that you continue making this type of content RT!
I vividly remember watching that finals against fantasy. I was a huge JD fan at the time and it was so depressing watching him lose those first 2 games. Honestly, fantasy just looked like the better player that series and even the games JD won didn't inspire a lot of confidence because they were early/fast wins and not outplaying him in the mid or late game. The final game, game 5, was SO CLOSE and the only game I remember in it's entirety. Before the vulture drop fantasy jumped 1 vulture over the mineral patch that lead behind JD's main when JD had only 2 slow zlings....which would have been game ending but JD sent a drone or two with his zling and trapped the vulture just in time....and then the vulture drop came in just as JD's first mutas hatched and got quite a few drone kills, enough that JD had to immediately win...and he had just enough muta and scourge to kill the valk+turrets, but had JD waited even seconds he would have been hopelessly behind. I don't remember the exact time line, but I remember this as being around JD's peak and when he was feared most....like I want to say that KTF all kill that included beating flash on the final game on rush hour was right around the same time as this final....i just remember this OSL win and that KTF final happening really close to each other and everyone just thinking JD was unstoppable....and by the time that 3rd OSL final against yellow[arnc] rolled around it was a bit anticlimactic because there wasn't a single BW player on earth that thought yellow had a prayer of winning. JD was like 70% ZvZ at the time...everyone expected him to steamroll through yellow and he did just that.
Dude, this is so cool. I' loooove to get more videos like this. Not only because the history is interesting, but also because of you. I couldn't imagine a better person to research and present this, as you're a part of the game's history as well.
This was amazing and very well produced. I was especially impressed with the use of visual descriptions such as showing which player or perks was which visually with a label. Really sped up the pacing and made this a joy to watch. Nice work! This is incredibly accessible to a wider audience than just Starcraft fans. Simple and concise.
It's crazy that I love this game so much moreover JD is my favourite player and I was just 2 years old while he was in his prime so I could never be there to watch him winning tournements and instead I have to suffer watching him been eliminated over and over again. It's a bit sad to watch the best zerg in the history of the game unable to do anything because of his wrist. Anyway, thank you Arty, thank you for keeping the history of the game and this lengend's legacy alive
I'm not sure if Stork was considered a "heavy favorite" in the 2007 EVER OSL finals. They were both considered pretty weak at the matchup, but Stork may have had a slight edge in odds just because of his experience already.
I really LOVE these type of videos. You have so much knowledge about starcraft, not only mechanically, but historically. I know you know many stories and anecdotes bc of your casts, so I hope you continue to make more of these videos
Sick video, legit the best one you have ever released on this channel! Would love to see more content like this! Two small notes: 0:40: Kespa era ended in 2012 with the TVing OSL, not in 2010 when SC2 came out. Also pretty sure the video shown is from a SC2 Team house... 3:57: This is a great example of why AI Video upscaling sucks for old BW vods. This looks way worse than the original pixelated clip.
Really exciting direction for your content man, I feel like the history of broodwar deserves a lot more attention because it set the stage for so much. I hope you get to the 1000 likes asap. Thanks for being awesome.
Can you pivot to only doing docu stuff like this thanks. No honestly, this kind of content has the opportunity to do VERY well and grow you on the YT side. But what do I know
OMFGLMAO HIS VOICE BROKE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Dude are you all like 6 years old? This is why being a content creator is so annoying sometimes, because you know that if even the slightest thing is off our not perfect about your work, the low-skill chimps in the audience will jump around and screech about it.
These types of videos are awesome Artosis. For someone who hasn’t followed the pro league these types of videos make me feel like I witnessed it myself and all of the epicness
hella good video! I was always curious about how impressive a player Jaedong was during his prime.. I always think back and remember that he def revolutionized Zerg and how its played and remember him being a dominant force in the scene.. but this vid really help summarize his journey, could def been a few mins longer but hella good trip down memory lane!! ps, should do a video for each of the golden mouse winners, cause i didnt know A) there were 4 of em and B) that u had to win 3 straight OSL's to claim it.. Nada and Jaedong, maybe there was a Protoss player in there?? MAYBE BISU!? PWEEZZ
Absolutely fantastic video. I would love to see a comparison of flash vs jaedong careers and why jaedong fell short of becoming the fifth bonjwa even though he got THIS crazy achievement.
my favorite player to watch in his peak managed to make great comebacks from impossible situations and when he has the lead he never loses legendary killer indeed
please more videos like this, more people need to know the history of brood war and appreciate it as the hardest esport of all time and the birth of all esports
2008, Cologne. I went there for WCG to see Grubby win in WC3.He did win btw and I even exchanged a coulple of words with Cassandra, and Grubby himself. It was also the time I saw Jaedong's Muta micre. He came in, attacked, the marines played their attack animation but the Mutalisks were out of range before the Marines could hit.
I think we needed more hype. I get all this cause I'm a player, but if this is to be understood by someone with no history in starcraft, it should be done in the style of something like the conquering jak series by thaRixer. Although that is a bit insane in scope, but explaining muta micro at least would have been very useful.
So sick, love you sharing your knowledge in this format. Exceptional storytelling of an exceptional story. So much respect. Thank you Artosis for carrying on the legacy of Starcraft.
Great stuff i love the history stories of sc1 and 2. My favorite moments in the past where the times of stephano and MC. I would stay up late to watch them play finals etc.. Also remembering Maru play when he was 14 years of age he went for a fast 4 command centers build and made it work. Later he would start beating innovation. And another thing is ofcourse serral becoming the first time blizzcon world champion from outside korea. Lately the unbelievable match between serral and clem, inwhich clem was at 1/2 of the units lost vs serral.
if only you would make more gaming history videos Artosis. You got the voice to do it my dude. Doesnt just have to be SCBW, you could literally do similar stuff with other games too.
This remind me of the earlier years of YT when sc content was much much more sparse, I used to watch low qual replays of JD games, im fairly certain I watched every available one back then.
Didn't expect video like this, but it makes perfect sense. Very few people know all the stories of broodwar from being there like you do. If anything id say you should work on your storytelling skills, but the idea is perfect.
