I was stationed in Korea in 2003- 2006... I loved being able to watch it on TV I couldn't understand Korean very well but was so fun to watch... I remember in 2004 I was walking on the beach in Busan with my GF and we came across what we thought was a concert but it was the finals. No clue who was playing but still a very cool memory.
You would have been in the thick of it in that era.
holy shit good thing you werent stationed in Iraq!!
@@AoE2Replayscoast guard vs army
So jealous lol
@AoE2Replays guess I have the overflow of people going to basic when I did to thank for that. I was a hold under for 3 weeks waiting to get into basic training summer of 02... then when I finished my job training I was a hold over while they tried to find a unit to send us to. Me and 8 other classmates who were airborne all got dumped in Korea after like 6 weeks of being held in our training unit but done with training
Love these throwback vids, Tasteless.
side note. idk if it was the game tasteless watched, but in one of the finals, Yellow got 3-0ed by Boxer in 3 bunker rushes. That series traumatized Yellow and he said he had a really hard time recouping. Also, he lost to Boxer quite a bit in important matches, granting himself the nickname Runner-up lol. Now, they're both celebrity statuses in korea and are big in Poker scene. Yellow actually won few international tourneys if I recall. I adore these 2 because, though not in professional form, they continue to have event matches against each other and Boxer still pretty much owning Yellow in SC and continues to trash talk lol
If you want more Yellow/Boxer action, you should check out the Korean show The Genius Game. It's a game show where a bunch of Korean professionals compete in games of wit and strategy for a grand prize. Yellow appears in S1 and S2 and Boxer appears in S2.
You're thinking of the EVER 2004 OSL semifinals. Widely considered one of the best tournaments of all time. Boxer vs iloveoov in the finals in a dramatic 5 game series.
4:01 "a quarter of a century".
EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!
Reviewing historically significant games with commentary is a great format. Will def watch more of these if you keep making en.
+1
I agree! Love this.
Production back then was so amazing. The shots and of the crowd and players really add to the viewing
I like this Starcraft history series! Continue, please!
I can't believe I used to watch Starcraft in such low quality when I was younger lmao how could I tell what was going on
CRT monitors?
My friend used to call zerglings “wolves” because thats what he thought they looked like.
I remember streaming of gom.tv and it was potato quality most of the time but all my buddies came together and wed spend the day watching it on a big tv.
The quality wasn’t that bad. It’s just that everytime this video gets passed around, re-saved, etc.. it loses quality.
@@barnicletoast we used to called them the dogs.
This was the first professional E-Sports match i ever watched (already on youtube iirc), and it was absolutely mindblowing seeing those people with their racer jackets playing computer games in front of such a big frantic audience with the casters going bonkers. This got me hooked immediately. Absolutely legendary game
Yes, please, more of those historic games! Really love it.
The first bunker rush was when I discovered you could build a bunker and marines before a supply depo on Bloodbath in order to kill your ally in a 2v1computer game
Lol, what?
Probably first 4 scvs on minerals, scv 5 builds barracks and bunker, barracks makes 4 marines. Supply used: 9/10
I got to meet Boxer at MLG Orlando 2011. There were a lot of popular esport athletes there but Boxer was the only one that made me star-struck.
Love these videos. Please keep doing them! The nostalgia hit from this sort of content will never get old.
5:02 Nostalgic Gaming Chair we still have,it never break easily , unless you've done extreme parkour flexing on it while playing in the local PC Bang. Great Times , Tassels !
I remember seeing Grrr on TV here in Quebec! After he won the championship. He was my hero. He played SC on tv at a French show in Quebec and everyone saw what SC was. He was fast with the keyboard and mouse.
later on the "3 yeun bung" (3 consecuitive bunker rush) incident happened which is still used today in korean slang when u own someone 3 times with the same strat/character....
poor yellow
poor yellow
For the SC2 players that never played SC1, units wouldn't auto-attack the builders. They would auto-aggro towards the military units. So you could hold position your SCVs, and the zerglings would run straight past them and try to get at the marines. You had to target SCVs manually with lings.
That's not true, the kings will cause the scv will attack the lings and get attacked back.
What a great video you should do a series of the origins of iconic SC1 & SC2 strategies.
so nice to see you cover starcraft history.
Damn bro this takes me back! At first I was like lol look how bad the quality is, but once the action started I was completely focused, just like way back when that was just the way vods looked
watch StarCraft in 240p like blizzard intended
love the content tasteless, starcraft is timeless. getting back into sc2. despite its flaws and historical growing pains, we’re so lucky to have two immaculate (all things considered!) RTS to share this passion in such a cool universe! much love to you and sean and artosis
Gotta love your history content. Thanks for putting this stuff together!
During that time , i don't even know how to speak english, cabled channels where i learned it little by little. Then there's this K-Pop group called: Wonder Girls. that song is advertise generally in southeast asia. That spark my K-Pop gig 🇰🇷
still have the "SUNKEN COLOOONIE SUNKEN COLLOOOONIEEE" in my ear after over 20 years
These old school vids are verrry cool. I completely missed this period so seeing a look back is awesome
Yellow looking super fancy and ready to be with at least ten moves ahead just to get bunker rushed.
4:05 Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, so this is where that guy with the paper sun visors came from. I've seen him memeing around the internet here and there.
His friend sure looks like he wishes he had some.
Its just so cool SK had these matches on tv 20+ years ago, I have 500 tv channels and still no video games on them.
i remember hearing about boxer ages ago when i was in middle school and had a friend who was insanely good at SC... (actually my friend always referred to Lim)... then i saw him and Yellow (Hong Jin Ho) on the korean gameshow the Genius, which made me seek out this game a few months ago... awesome to rewatch it with Tasteless commenting, thanks so much
It was such an epic era with those stadiums packed with screaming fans.
Ill always remember getting up at 3am to watch moletrap and diggity cast games.
Ah nostalgic. I played during the days of X'ds, D22-Soso, D23-Gad, CoP~ etc etc. Good memories.
where was the bunker?
There wasn't one. Obviously he could have made one if he had to but he didn't. There's another famous OSL match between BoxeR and YellOw (EVER OSL semi finals 2004 thx Google) where BoxeR successfully bunker rushed YellOw in three consecutive games. At the time BoxeR said hatch first cannot hold the rush and Z must go pool first, this was also before drone drilling became better etc.
Fun fact from YT comment on the tripe bunker rush:
"It was said that july was boxers practice partner when he prepared for this semi finals. July had to play over 200 games of stopping bunker rush while boxer kept refining bunker positionings and timings for each map. It was said that afterwards, july became one of the best zerg players at stopping bunker rush, repeatedly beating players like nada oov xellos when they tried to bunker him."
These types of videos are fun.
The map they using called "Sauron", a remake version of official ladder map Ashirigo.
Great coverage Tasteless, love these historical videos. Boxer is my favorite esports player of all time.
This is why i don't get strategy names: "bunker rush" without bunker, huh ? I guess this might count as BC rush, as obviously this was the follow-up. Anyway, great content - keep up the good work, we love SC
i love how crunchy these old vods are, it kinda sucks that we'll never them in high quality but its so nostalgic because thats how the game looked 20 years ago when i was watching these replays shortly after the matches came out.
I saw it live on tv and I don’t remember them being this bad of quality. Anyways good times
The fact alone that we could identify units, buildings and what was going on on this video filmed by a toaster from 1999 shows to me one big problem with allmost all new RTS games: The visuals are not as crisp, clear and easy to destinguish when done in a 3D-Style. At least the games I have seen all lack behind games like StarCraft and AoE2. It always becomes kind of more blurry and kind of hazy. Do you think they will ever make another game as crisp and well designed as those incredibly well thought out games from around 2000?
Just look at the super well thought out design of the terran buildings for example: A depo has this huge vents on top and the sides, the barraks is standing on legs with overall more delicate features, the factory has an octagonal shape, the command center is round like a flying saucer. All those shapes are very easy and quick to destinguish. In SC2 the features are not standing out as well - in my opinion.
The game that got me into pro BW back in the day was BoxeR vs Garimto.
Can you do one on first professional Muta stack micro?
9:20 Exactly. More volatility is fun.
Slayers'boxer came on the scene right after patch 1.08 that added the replay feature. First real player to show what terran can do.. youtube didn't exist then.. and vods took forever to download
This was a really fun watch. Turns out I'll be here for anything marked Starcraft History.
I always wanted one of those jackets, they where so cool back then
Hell yeah
I used to play Us West in one of the worst clans but I was our best player.
We were playing in a single elimination against another clan. I was random player at the time, I ended up clutching the tournament and winning it for us by cheesing every game after the rest of my team was eliminated.
Was such a funny experience in the last game I 5 pooled and they got soo mad they started calling me trash but I had won so I was still able to shove it in their face.
The fucking cool guy shades Yellow has on lol. Peak 2000s
Is there anywhere that does a really good deep dive into the evolution of Starcraft strategy in pro play over the years? I would love like a documentary style that talks about the changes in mapmaking/game knowledge/etc
Was this actually a bunker rush? I missed the bunker. Either way love the old content!
recently a player in ZS figured out you can rush a base in their opponent's natural and starve them out.
I remember downloading this game from somewhere back before TH-cam (was it team liquid? Fucking ages ago) and watched with friends. It was insane, we all went nuts too when the boys were pulled. There was just nothing like this at the time for our favorite game. Classic
The highlight of my gaming adventure is playing vs MarineKing's proxy rax bunker rush and coming out ahead, still lost though. X)
Thanks for sharing some StarCraft history with us! Great video
Lore content is great, Tasteless. I think you can do a lot of cool stuff with this.
broodwar was lightning in a bottle, new games miss the mark big time, instead of lighting in a glass bottle we get trucker pee in a plastic bottle, sitting on the side of the freeway
Sunken hp was reduced from 400 to 300 in the last balance change. I think 1.16. that game was from 2002 in that game sunk would have had 400hp.
Watched wcg2002 final live boxer vs yellow fun times.
Bro, it will be awesome it you keep doing Starcraft history videos!
Please comment the video where July Zerg Micro Muta his heart out to win the Golden Mouse!
would love to see more of these
Love this man! You should do more content like this! You know so much, would love to hear about all the epic gamer moments!
I am sure you get asked this all the time, but did you watch the korean variety/puzzle show The Genius?
Yellow/Jinho is on it, and in season 2 Boxer comes on it as well to mess with him. It's so great. Fansubs out there
Man this takes me back. I miss the old bnet so much bros
This is like watching Lumiere workers leaving the factory.
Amazing! Part of esports history! Starcraft was such a breakthrough..
Rushing is the best entry experience in rts games. Nothing is more satisfying than rushing your school friends since 1998 ❤
And most friends doesn't pull workers to help with the defense, instead says _Mercy_ 😁
Would love to see the boxer bunker rush glitch vod commentated! ❤
Boxer didn't event scv pull though. People had done that before because scvs have more hp.
This IS THE VIDEO of Starcraft
I wonder if these old starcraft videos could be upscaled somehow, I think there have been some big advancements in video upscaling
That'd be sweet
OGN (Ongamenet) now uploads AI enhanced matches on their TH-cam channel.
@@changbaek2321 That's crazy! Nice info
@@changbaek2321 But what's the channel name? I can't find it
www.youtube.com/@TVOngamenet@@markmuller7962
love your format! thanks for the vids
“This was uploaded 177 years ago.”
This is the content I want to see.
Boxer is the only personality I've been a fan of, the Boxer's vs Yellow era was amazing
I think I became TERRAN because of Lim yo Hwan. Thank You for the memories brother.
Where can I go to watch modern pro casted broodwar games?
SC2 had some exciting moments from the era when people were still figuring out the game too. IdrA leaving the game because he thought hallucinated colossus were real and Naniwa being a manchild on stage to name a couple.
This was really cool, would love to see a whole history series from you.
Super interesting for SC2 viewers with no experience in BW like me as well :)
Love these videos Tasteless! Keep them coming!
The old ball mice, I remember my logitech "pilot mouse" best mouse ever 🙂
The crazy part is that Boxer bunker rushed 3 games a row in a best of 5 and won 3-0. It was crazy mind games. He wouldn't do that again, right???
This must be digitized from a VHS-recording of the event! Holy moly that's bad quality! Fun clip though!
This video highlights the beauty of sc2 quality of life and attempts to balance the game through map design.
This made me miss the potato footage age for a minute or 2, thanks for that. blacksheepwall
I remember watching first games of Terran doing wall and fast factory. I was like WTF is he doing. He needs to make marines or he will die. Protoss walking in front of the wall with zealots, can't get in and one marine is shooting at them behind the wall. Hilarious.. 😆
I know it's off topic, but compare a siege tank's base armor to a carriers. Honestly WTF were the devs thinking? 'Wrap the siege tank in tinfoil, that'll be good, eh?'
Why are all terran units armored with paper mache?
you gotta remember this game was never meant to be a competitive sport lol
They are glass cannons, and are meant to be
Not a single bunker was made in this original bunker rush...
Yellow couldn't beat him in starcraft so he beat him in Variety Shows instead
Has he done a video on the Bisu build game yet?
The Power Rangers outfits era truely was a wild time. 😅👌
Need more of these
StarCraft 1 replays would play a different game after you just played it
5:27 so they just had the game on that big wall and the players in front? The players could just turn their heads and maybe catch their opponents base without having to scout for it :D ?
2:50 so Terran profits more from knowing where Zerg is? because of course the Zerg overlord will spot you much sooner.
Preview thumbnail: the original bunker rush.
Replay: no bunkers.
I feel let down.
He did it in sc1 and sc2. Do we think Slayers Boxer is gonna come back for one final early game hurrah in stormgate. Probably not but it would be cool if he was the eternal early game innovator
enjoying this history vids
Boxer!! the real goat!
third strike music in the background
Omg the panic of seeing all the scvs
Korean commentators were so high energy 😂
The music copyright claims are such bullshit
Footage of the crowd looks like 1930a Germany
