Microsoft's Zone was the scene back in the day. The "official" ladder was like 5 separate independently run websites tracking 1v1 vods submitted to GameNoob. The Zone lobbys were password protected, and the only way you could get invited into a lobby was by trying out with any of the handful of professional clans, and actually getting your vods reviewed by pros. Otherwise, you'd just wander around the unlocked lobbys and play cbt or 4v4 black forest random, (of which everyone would end up losing to the one guy who rolled britons lmao). Good times.
Day9 talked about this story very briefly back in story 100 as well lol; albeit back then the kid said something about vultures killing your workers instead of DTs ua-cam.com/video/NJztfsXKcPQ/v-deo.html
The qualifier got announced a day or two before it happened so since I lived in the area I was one of the only two people who showed up for bw (other guy was warming up on fastest and ended up taking the travel voucher money instead of attending). Ended up playing vs sadist (not Artosis) in the first round and then rekrul in losers bracket. I'd never played on LAN latency so I miscontrolled a lot in the beginning and ended up throwing my prep out after that and tried some weird proxy build that slog4 was warming up with before the tournament on korhal. I felt bad at the time because I thought I could have played a lot better but it's always fun reminisicing with my brother (who took me to long beach for the event) about the time that I was "one of the best starcraft players"

First time ever playing paintball... probably Vegas kid's age. Get dropped off at this place with my brother and a friend. Jeans, t-shirts, that sort of thing. Rent crappy guns that barely function... All of us placed on a team against grown men wearing full camo, ghillie suits, etc. with 1000+ dollar paintball guns using compressed air, etc. It was a lot of fun.
I have a similar story. I was dropped of at a paintball place with a few of my friends. They placed 20+ junior high kids against 2 paintball professionals on a small arena style course with the inflatable beer cans/Doritos/snakes. Not a single kid made it past 1/3 of the field. Took maybe 4 minutes total.
[Edit***] If USA finals was in Long Beach, that was definitely 2004 lol, I was there playing Halo - I was also at the Vegas regional qualifiers obv, what a beautiful gringy disgusting LAN Center it took place at
I played a bunch of WC3 in 2004 and remember resources like SK-gaming having news about tournaments, replays etc. Didn't Starcraft have ANYTHING back then? :P
I miss the Day9 Daily series so badly :( Hilariously story though, I can totally imagine Artosis absolutely mauling any competition no matter who it was lol
Is that card real? It's weird that it ends with "in a random order." instead of "in any order". Am I really supposed to shuffle 3 cards and not remember their order? Should I offer the 3 cards to my opponent so they can cut them?
I think Wizards has just made bottoming cards in a random order standard ever since "Recross the Paths" was broken by playing no lands in your deck, letting you just completely stack your deck.
reminds me of this moment ua-cam.com/video/TJU8u10FhM0/v-deo.html where round 1, a 12 year old played against a tour points leader in street fighter. at least it was fast, aye.
I appreciate the hyperbole, but I think you're getting a bit confused about the state of things in 2007/2008. There was plenty of Starcraft content on UA-cam already. There was the ICCUP ladder. Yes, Google was already the dominant search engine at that time.
When Despy walks across the desk: "i feel so emasculated when she does that." Wow! That explains so much! Ranting about kids games in that emo whiny voice makes him feel masculine! That is backwards! Hahaha!

"I challenged a 12-year old kid to a starcraft game and WON" - Dan Artosis Stemkoski
That gave him chills
You know a story is fire when it's called "Vegas Kid" and the word *Vegas* isn't even uttered until 9 minutes into the 16 minute story.
Reminds me of the old SC2 Funday Monday stories
An expanded explanation on the Day9 Daily 100 story, very nice.
God this content is the *exact* reason I Day9 is my favourite youtuber.
The Vegas Kid's name? Greg "Idra" Fields.
is this true?
@@11_Hashtagged_11 Well, it was either Idra or Einstein, but my money's on Idra.
Idra born in 1989, which mean in 2004 he would be 15 already
And I dont think you can mistook a 15 years old to a 12 years old

I don't think I've laughed harder in ages, love this story.
This highlight is missing the bit where Day[9] mentions that the kids handle in game, was 'Starcraft', oh soo good
According to Liquipedia Vegas Kid's name was just "StarCraft" and he managed to take a game off someone. Imagine losing to Vegas Kid.
That ok, I can chill this game... and then wtf zerg...
The kid probably used his knowledge about DTs to the max XD
How did you find this, for natural reasons it was very hard to google a player named starcraft lol
@@metallsnubben I just went to the WCG USA 2004 page and looked at who Artosis beat in the first round.
I imagine someone fed him a game just to like... Cheer him up after getting bodied probably 3 times in a row in under 5 minutes.
When he brings up The Revenant i lost it right there
I love Day9's starcraft stories. It reminds me of all the SC remastered events with Geoff, Dan, and Nick that were the best
god i wish Sean played some SC2 at any point, i'd watch immediatly...we miss you bud. happy you're doing great
I had hope for a while but..

@@WhismurWanders They got a new film
Imagine playing sc2 in 2021 LOL
@@neelzen9975 yes, imagine playing a game you enjoy. why would anyone ever do that? damn, I just cant figure it out.
This was my favourite story tangent and made me cackle
Great story, would have been even better if the Vegas kid was some gaming prodigy and spanked Artosis over his knee though
that stuff only happens in movies
he knew how to make DTs, that gives even a literal monkey a 10% winrate against arty
I remember laughing this hard with the story about his car
I'll be damned, Nazgul the founder of Team Liquid was a contender in the WCG 2004 as well. That was one legendary tournament.
Can someone PLEASE find this KID right now, and have DAY9 talk to him about this experience?! PLEASE!!!

huanghe?
If I had played starcraft competitively those days, the Vegas Kid would have owned me. Felt like a pro just by owning the campaign
I'd pay such good money to watch a VOD of that game
You can hear this story every three years and still be amused, no problem. Just checked.
I just wanted to say that I already heard this story a LONG time ago in some other stream/video but by golly I want to hear it again.
I remember this story from Daily 100, loved it then, love it now
so this is the same kid in your "my life of starcraft daily 100" :D
Storytime with Uncle Sean is best time ;)
i remember going to one of the last magic PTQ's in spokane washington (usually just a local crowd) and running into GerryT, Rich Hagon, Jesse Hampton
This story reminded me of the wild wild west the internet used to be. Ah good times.
And that kid's name? Sean Bouchard.
I haven't watched Day9 in months, but first? Thanks, algorithm.

Got called to the stage by the hosts and said prepare for cheese.
I want the replay of that game so bad.
plot twist, las vegas kid is artosis
The version of Looper I've always wanted!
I never tire of this story. XD
I give you props for feeling emasculated when that cat ran up. +1 like, and comment.
Why can’t I like this 1000 times
More starcraft content!!!!! I'm still playing broodwar to this day
I rewatched the 100th daily like 2 weeks ago, I can't wait to hear more about this
This feels like an origin story.

That kid? He later grew up to be Greg "IdrA" Fields.
Some OG shyt right here, my sweet summer children ;)
Story time wooooooooooo!
How dare you Sean, I still use my Yahoo email address!
Wonder where Vegas Kid is today
aw i was hoping you were gonna bring back billy lol
I feel old and depressed because I can relate to your memories and I am lucky to not have gray hair at my age.
let's gooooo Day9!
Vegas Kid story's awesome. Artosis matchup lol.
Wow I was there for the 1v1 no rush 15min days !! ❤❤
Aww poor Vegas Kid.
I bet the Las Vegas Kid could take some games off Artosis
sick T-Shirt Day9. Love it :D
Golden times
Did Dan confirm the story?
I played a bunch of WC3 in 2004 and remember resources like SK-gaming having news about tournaments, replays etc. Didn't Starcraft have ANYTHING back then? :P
I refuse to believe that back then people played above 100 APM.
Wonder where Vegas kid is now.
I have to know where you got that shirt!
Day9 daily 100 gives us a glimpse
That still pops up in my feed once in a while. That's how I found him.

waiting for day9 to just do a littttttttttttttttttttttle revisit of starcraft brood war
Mmmmm, Chrono Trigger
What's the opposite of an Artosis pylon? (also what episode did you tell that joke on - gotta share it on Artosis's Twitch).
The opposite of an Artosis Pylon is two pylons.
Any way we can get the replay of that match?
NO YOU CANNOT OK
@day9 dude, i am older than you, wtf??? this is the story that i am gonna tell my kid soon...and LT was best map!!!
