and because of it they didn't pay attention to acquiring dota they thought the map makers would just port it over to sc2... big mistake so much potential money for blizzard... still i prefer sc2 over dota 2.
@@reginaldkenneth47 Strong, yes. But the hype back then is still unmatched. There was what, like 8 seasons of GSL that year with massive ro128 brackets for the qualifiers, plus weekend offline foreign events like MLG every single week.
@@lindhardt4 You'd be surprised at the amount of people saying they miss watching SC2 and not watching current SC2 esports, acting like it's actuially dead, that I have seen. It gets annoying after a while. Good that you still watch.
The King of Wings. He may not be the most decorated anymore at the end of SC2, with players like Maru, Innovation, etc. But to me, he will always be the greatest terran of all time.
MVP is, and will always be, the top player. He and Nestea. Always remember them just dominating. I would go back to those days in a second. The game was so much more fun back then. As a protoss player it pains me that I just listed a Zerg and Terran, of course MC had a great run too.
I think it's really important to know that MVP was dealing with massive wrist issues. He barely got to the finals against Squirtle. He was supposed to lose. His APM was incredibly low the entire tournament run. About a half slower than all his opponents. He won that GSL despite all of that.
I really want to say I miss the old days where there're super close all in cheesing games unlike nowadays: the players just out-macros the oppoenent, but .... meanwhile I don't want to start a game with 6 probes either
For me Life is the king , which by the way was the one who denied MVP of his 5th GSL championship and that was life first GSL and he's a royal roader as well of that season and he's just 15 yrs old ,mvp was 21, also a triple crown holder
Yeah, but Life REALLY effed up his career with that matchmaking stuff... Even if we don't count that, let's not forget that the set MVP play against Life was very close and went to a full 7 games. And it was in the Broodlord/Investor Era where Zerg was completely broken. And the GSL map pool pretty much guaranteed a 3rd base, making turtling out Hive very easy. Terran units are essential worthless against Fungal Growth. It was so bad that in that year's Blizzcon, there were only 4 Terran players out of the 32 who participated. Oh, and MVP at the time was playing with an injured spine that caused numbness to his wrist and essentially took away his ability to play mechanically, so much so that he became a well-known Cheese player. To quote the Liquidpedia ranking of the greatest SC2 player of all time: " he (MVP) was playing against the second greatest player of all time in his prime, in the strongest meta zerg has ever had, with a broken spine, and still took him to the 7th map."
Ya Life will always have a special place in my heart, it's a shame what happened with the match-fixing. I was so upset when that happened. I wish he is still playing.
hes my first sc2 player idol. LG.MVP.. the Squirtle vs mvp one are epic. credit to Squirtle bringing the game from 3-1 to 3-3. but in the end mvp still won it. ma man.
I hope SC2HL will do a MMA video, not the fighting sport but the player. Cause he was a King in Wings. In my opinion. He was clutch in the GSTL with SlayerS and did the triple crown. Like Mvp. Speaking of which... Mvp seem to have just dropped off the face of the earth. Disappeared xD
Nice video, thx for all your work! Could you turn up the volume in the casters comments a bit? Some of them were way quieter than the rest it seems to me.
@@Drdrdrdrdrdrdr I don't think that's an issue. He was the player of 2018 and even if he accomplishes nothing from today and on, he'd still be a legend of the game. I don't think Jaedong fits, as most of his accomplishments were in Brood War rather than SC2 and the SC2 accomplishments he does have are nowhere near what any of the 8 I've listed have. MMA I considered, but I personally think Zest is a better fit.
@@TheHarrie93 Yeah, agree on Life (hence the questionmark). His accomplishments are certainly enough to get included were it not for the scandal. Taeja I could see getting included, but I don't think he outshines any of the 8 above unless Life gets excluded. Can't see Stephano happening.
@@Drdrdrdrdrdrdr No clue how recency has anything to do with this list. Also Jaedong was not that big in SC2. MMA though was really good. But at the same time there are a lot of players that could also get nominated.
Have some GREAT GREAT memories from MVP and Byun! There's a lot of nice ones with protoss (MC, White-Ra (Special Tacticts)) and zergs (IdrA, DongRaeGu, Stephano) also but that's about Terrans. Nice!
@@KingOfBlades27 I don't think so because I started watchibg/playing in 2017. The comment now are much more analytical than before. The only times I felt so much hype recently were the 4th GSL in a row from maru Last game against ty and the blizzcon finale between rogue and serral.
@@SC2HL yes the matches are good but they don't "sound" fun as the matches in the early WoL or begining of LotV. (great content on this channel by the way :))
Depends really how you look at it. Yes, he won a lot of foreigner tournaments. But he never was the top korean pro. So it is hard to call him the best player at that time.
These are great... only one criticism... are you REALLY just gonna gloss over THE GREATEST game and comeback in sc2? MVP vs Squirtle with the archon toilet and tech switch? 🥺
If there is any korean viewer that speaks English and would be able to translate (add interviews in captions), hit me up on @SC2HL
Thanks for this series man, didn't play in the early days but still appreciate the throwback
Sure. I'll tell that to my Korean friends
Im korean and eager to do it, but I don’t know what "hit me up on @SC2HL means" how do I reach u guys?
I think u guys meat twitter but Ill leave my contact here hoonori97@gmail.com
사랑해요
Keep this series coming its amazing
starcraft was so hype back then, i miss that shit :D
and because of it they didn't pay attention to acquiring dota they thought the map makers would just port it over to sc2... big mistake so much potential money for blizzard... still i prefer sc2 over dota 2.
You guys would be surprised to find out that *gasp* SC2 esport is still going strong. Nothing's stopping you from watching.
@@reginaldkenneth47 Strong, yes. But the hype back then is still unmatched. There was what, like 8 seasons of GSL that year with massive ro128 brackets for the qualifiers, plus weekend offline foreign events like MLG every single week.
What a dumb reply. We're still watching
@@lindhardt4 You'd be surprised at the amount of people saying they miss watching SC2 and not watching current SC2 esports, acting like it's actuially dead, that I have seen. It gets annoying after a while.
Good that you still watch.
Then he opened up a Korean BBQ and lived happily ever after... LMAO
The King of Wings. He may not be the most decorated anymore at the end of SC2, with players like Maru, Innovation, etc. But to me, he will always be the greatest terran of all time.
Wow, Moonglade looking good with short hair as well. Nice to see him and Wolf again. Miss the Korean teamleagues so much.

Man i seriously miss this guy. Especially when zergs are destroying all the terrans, it keep reminds me of his mechanic.
Having been introduced to SC2 in the middle of heart of the swarm era, these are so cool to watch
best sc2 player of all time and is not even close.
injuries killed him, but if he had stayed healthy, he would still be winning gsls!
This feels sooo nostalgic for me..Early StarCraft 2 was some of my best gaming memories.
Mvp is probably my all time favorite player. Absolute beast, a terran icon.
LOVE IT! MC next? Thank you for the fantastic content.

His APM was incredibly low the entire tournament run. About a half slower than all his opponents. He won that GSL despite all of that.
Taeja and Byun had their days as well.
Right now Maru, Innovation, TY, Cure and Clem are the top Terrans.
I worry for terrans... Zerg players of late have really one up their game.
@@slevingaius Yeah Serral, Renyor and Scarlett are killing it now.
And MMA was amazing for a while
After watching your latest highlight between MVP vs Stephano in 2023, I have to come back and watch this one all over again =))))))))))
History was made.
Maru the man, the myth, the legend, the king.
WOW got the chills, Great work , keep it up!
Thanks for bringing out this finals BO7, only saw the archon toilet and it was so delicious to watch in its entirety with all the hype
Mvp will forever be the King in my heart.
Amazing video, very hyped for the series to continue, thanks for this!
My favourite player, even into the beginning of HotS. I'll miss you, MVP.
legends, it be great to get update on what they are doing now at the end.
IMMvp will always be the king in my heart
Great memories, thank you!
We really need the Archon Toilet highlights video! MVP versus Squirtle!
They probably wanted to show him highlights of winning lol, so instead showed the last game 😋
I really want to say I miss the old days where there're super close all in cheesing games unlike nowadays: the players just out-macros the oppoenent, but .... meanwhile I don't want to start a game with 6 probes either
MVP was insane checked out his matches a few months ago, man that guy had so much big brained plays.
Great video, brings back old memories of the game
duuude, yes! another one! i've been waiting :D!! Thank you @SC2HL
For me Life is the king , which by the way was the one who denied MVP of his 5th GSL championship and that was life first GSL and he's a royal roader as well of that season and he's just 15 yrs old ,mvp was 21, also a triple crown holder

Damn. Should have included the archon toilet to show how serious Squirtle was.
hes my first sc2 player idol. LG.MVP.. the Squirtle vs mvp one are epic. credit to Squirtle bringing the game from 3-1 to 3-3. but in the end mvp still won it. ma man.
notable game is, the game 5. despite squirtle winning the game. but is an epic game. just watch it now. its a must watch series.
The most famous archon toilet of all time. What an awesom series! =D
I hope SC2HL will do a MMA video, not the fighting sport but the player. Cause he was a King in Wings. In my opinion. He was clutch in the GSTL with SlayerS and did the triple crown. Like Mvp. Speaking of which... Mvp seem to have just dropped off the face of the earth. Disappeared xD
that game 5 vortex vs BC, after all these years, I still remember
IMMvp and Nestea will always be the GOATs.
I love me some good sc2 stories.
Got goosebumps watching that final
really awesome to know about the history for someone who just started :D keep it up!
Greatest of all time.
Love this series!
good video MVP was a force in WoL unlike any other.
No one has effect how Starcraft is played today more then MVP imo, when I watch TY play today I often think of how like MVP he plays.
Love this series! Keep it up!
I will always be a loyal follower of the King of Wings.
For me he is the GOAT. Universal style.
Got teary-eyed
mules are broken. god i love this series
love love love this video. make moaarrrr
good series!
Nice video, thx for all your work! Could you turn up the volume in the casters comments a bit? Some of them were way quieter than the rest it seems to me.
Best king of SC 2
There must be a stephano episode, he really was the best non Korean of all time before the serral era. Keep up the good work.
It was all Zergs tbh. It was Scarlett, Snute, and Stefano. All s’s as well... kinda odd.
Can you PLEASE put these into a playlist on your channel? Thank you!
My guess for the other 8: MC, Serral, Maru, Innovation, SoO, sOs, Life (?) and Zest.
MMA or jaedong over serral bc serral is too recent
Taeja, his summer runs were insane. I'm not sure if Life will be honored since his scandal. Stephano may get a spot as well.
@@Drdrdrdrdrdrdr I don't think that's an issue. He was the player of 2018 and even if he accomplishes nothing from today and on, he'd still be a legend of the game.

He deserved his name, MVP
Just realized Maynard has dreads. He's wildin'
We want maru and stephano
very unfortunate during his last days of competing he developed nerve problems in his hand and arm
he is all time number 1 terran
I really would wish Cure to be inlcuded in this series.
Have some GREAT GREAT memories from MVP and Byun!
There's a lot of nice ones with protoss (MC, White-Ra (Special Tacticts)) and zergs (IdrA, DongRaeGu, Stephano) also but that's about Terrans. Nice!
Who comes next? I need to know!!! Btw i hope the series end with a fking epic serral video
This could benefit from some volume normalization
ProxyWolf POG
Still my favorite SC2 player.
the GOAT!

No one:
MVP: 👁 👄 👁
So much hype/fun in those matches. What did change until today ?

I guess Scarlett won't be in this series then.

Please do Spanishiwa! I feel like he was all the rage for less than a year, and then... gone.
Still the GOAT

Again I ask, what do you use to download the GSL VODs? Please respond.
You can download them from starcraftvods.com/ or just use a UA-cam video downloader.
@@SC2HL And what video editing software do you use?
@@SoundwaveSC ms paint
Make video for sos he were the cheseest player in sc 2 history and the best mikro player with maru and serral
These are great... only one criticism... are you REALLY just gonna gloss over THE GREATEST game and comeback in sc2? MVP vs Squirtle with the archon toilet and tech switch? 🥺
So where is mvp now and is mvp better than before?
They better not do Serral.
Can you do MMA ?
Mvp vs maru plezzzzzz
Waiting for poll jaedong and hydra
Keep waiting. Neither will get a video like this, because they were not kings.
Long wait for Hydra, Jaedong is a hard maybe
Thumbnail be like🗿
Bonjwa
How about whitera? King as a player and as a human.
Stephano?
I love this series, but the sound effects are annoyingly loud, and make it harder to actually hear what people are saying.
Y los subtítulos en español? =v
SC2 el mejor juego del mundo!!!
you forgot to mention MVP had horrible and pathetic performance for last year or so before his retirement. Nobody is unbeatable forever. T.T
Do one for MC :)
He really should get one.
@@KingOfBlades27 yee my favorite player
