Proudest Video Game Achievement

I used to play Starcraft Brood War very competitively. Obviously sucked compared to the Korean pro gamers but on the online ladders I'd play exclusively Koreans which was always fun, cause they were the best competition. On this one ladder called iCCup, the ranks went from D- to A+, with another rank above A+ called Olympic. Everyone in Olympic and A+ ranks was a Korean progamer, anyone from A to B+ was a very, very, very solid player. B and B- were also very hard to get.

One night I decided to play some games. I lost the first one and then won something like 14 straight and went from C to B-, pretty much exclusively against Koreans. Some of the people I beat ended up getting B+, meaning they were really, really good. Those were definitely the highest level games I've ever played and when you hit that rank, you get respect from a lot of people. Man that game was fun.

Thinking about it refueling and landing the jet in Top Gun nes was hard as ****. No problems doing the missions in fact kicked ass in the missions but refueling in midair and landing were a bitch to do.

So you should or could be getting a call from the White House to take care of that pesky North Korea army if need be right?

What the **** is the deal with Koreans and Starcraft? I've never understood that.

I think it's just cause the game came out in 1998, right when the Internet became a really big deal in Korea and they were capable of better speeds and what not. The game just came out at the perfect time. It was just the game to play at the gaming cafe's that they all go to and it caught on and of course is still going, although Starcraft 2 isn't near as popular there as Brood War was. It's easy to see Brood War came out in 1998 and wonder how people could play it for so long competitively and not get bored, but up to last year when Blizzard basically killed it off in favor of the newer game, Brood War was still changing and new build orders and strategies were being created. Pretty amazing when you think about it.
