Not sure if you can find a different place to put your socials but they're blocking half the minimap. Bottom-right would only hide the production buttons which are much less important to look at for an observer. idk if that's just straight from the stream or if that's been added in by editing but either way it's very distracting. Always love to see a breakdown of classic SC1 history though!
I think right-aligned it would block seeing the unit upgrades but it would be better. Agreed it's distracting :)
He could create a black box to go over the bottom right buttons to make it look nice too. Would be easy and yeah better to see.
@@--Nabe-rius-- Or he could just remove them as no one is going on Twitter or Instagram to get SC content...
He could also get an animated one that cycles through all his socials. Would be much nicer and feel less intrusive.
"Look at how far this expansion is, on the minimap!"
**Minimap is covered by socials bar**
The Netflix show is called "The devil's plan".
Grr is one of 12 players in a reality show. He is in the first episode of trhe first season.
Tasteless, the oldest non-produced, none pro, televised to 2 TVs match happened in 1998 when the game released.
I got the game, my dad in law was an antena technician in Poland. A real wiz with TVs and antenas. To this day I have no idea how he did it, but he saw me play 1 day and I said it's like a chess match in Sci-fi setting, I wish this was televised. He said "hold on". Took a few hours, but he hoocked it up in a way that you could see me play in the living room on a big colour TV and in the kitchen on a black-n-white TV.
Ah, good times. Now I'm almost 41.
From Spain here is another fan of this wonderful game, I fell in love with Starcraft since I played it in 1998 in single player, years later around 2007 I saw a compilation of Boxer plays on UA-cam and I was stupefied. One day I told myself "I have to go to Korea to experience the esports environment", and it was not until the summer of 2018 when I saw the KSL (I couldn't go before to see the Kespa era), on a trip to Japan I traveled on my honeymoon and I was lucky enough to live one of my dreams. Post data: I met you and Artosis, I shook your hand and took a photo with you. Thank you for this video and for continuing to do live shows. From Spain they love you Tasteless.
Spain❤
Same here got hooked back to starcraft in 2007 (played in 2000?) due to youtube , the videos were fantastic and dragged me online quick !
I was 4 in 2000
same here from Spain, no travel to korera tho! nick BoX (clanes Out, '55', iSS, gL...)
Tasteless- these videos are fantastic! It’s great to have these stories and histories recorded. I’d love to have you and the boys talk about the WCG and the foreign SCBW scene as well
Tasteless is the original caster. He didn't even know. I can't tell you how entertaining the first videos in the early 2000s were. At the time, no one had seen anything like it. What a legend.
DJ Wheat was the original shoutcaster I believe.
@@misterkefir I mean the style of game-casting that we see these days, where Tasteless was the first caster who was both entertaining and knew everything about the game at a high level. He was first to be genuinely entertaining and funny.
tasteless was my introduction to watching casted pro games. i watched the day9 videos to learn how to play better and somehow found out about casted professional vods from there. i don't know the history of who was first or anything, but i do think tasteless is the de-facto starcraft caster, if i am gonna show starcraft to people who don't know, i want to show them a game with tasteless casting, he doesn't just do the dry play-by-plays, he doesn't forget to explain the basics, and he makes it interesting for non gamers
But the first televised match was Skelton, in 1999, in the Tooniverse Progamer Korea Open
Can we get video of that? That would be epic
My new favorite series. This should be a required watch in any game design curriculum.
I´m glad the old VioleTAK account does still exist which is almost as old as UA-cam itself. That man was a saint for BW with how many games he upload to which i simply had no other access to otherwise.
Im about your age Tasteless, grew up playing SC and Brood War, and as a Canadian, was a huge fan of X'Ds~Grrrr... This is a blast from the past for me, thanks for doing these reviews. I've been waiting for someone to start doing something like this. Would love to see more of these reviews from the earliest days of SC and BW, maybe even some history on some of the earliest, non Korean players and tournaments with players such as Zileas, Maynard, Pillars, Thor, eVERLAST, nTT, Agent911, INcinerate, TillerMaN, {PH}Pepe, ~jolly~, etc... (the list goes on).
Loving the old broodwar history and videos.
Love this history, would love to see more history of even old metas over the years and some recasting of old world championship games
Love these StarCraft History videos, thank you from Belgium!!
That 3rd Strike music in the background, gorgeous.
I wish they would bring back some of these outfits. I'm sure playing in your everyday clothes is a lot more comfy, but damn it, it isn't nearly as cool.
Though I bet that badass sleeveless blue/white shirt Boxer was wearing was his everyday clothes. He was probably out there getting into "The Warriors" style gang fights before matches, being a bad enough dude to rescue the South Korean President. He was the Emperor, after all.
I like it too! It's like watching the power rangers battle it out in video games
I can recognize this caster trio everywhere, they still casting BW 20 years later, even tho i cant understand a word, they know how to hype the game
None of these casters are still doing BW afaik.
The APM measurement tool was bwchart. You had to dump replays into it if I remember correctly.
History indeed! Look at these young nerds
Keep making history videos! It's crazy how much everything has changed. What's funny is I bet most current Blizzard employees don't even recognize that SC2 is what made streaming explode and become what it is now
I love that style of old school games where they don't just fast exp, but they do something interesting. Even something like slow overlord lurker drop etc..
Man this brings back good memories...the struggle was real trying to find videos of these games in the early 2000s. I remember somehow coming across some illegal link that you opened up inside Microsoft media player there let you watch a lot of the old OSL/MSL matches.
Bro, first cast I watched you do was Draco (P) vs Midas (T). Epic match, you were so entertaining. Been a fan ever since. Your content has got me through some tough days too.
3:33 look how many random players there were
I remember my games pre-Broodwar, and they were indeed full of such tactics, and we expanded when the current base was about to get empty.
I think that maps like BGH made us realize how much economy is important, and how you could play macro instead of microing a squad of units.
16:12 we can't see the mini map cuz of the social media overlay :(
Complaints aside, this is an AWESOME piece of BW history
Oh hell yeah, love retro games! It would be awesome if you did more, especially during the era where you played. Id love to get insight on how much was understoof and what some of the concepts being developed at those times were
I know Grrr from the poker world! It's really cool to see what he was doing before that.
I've been enjoying these historical videos.
Tasteless you've been killing it with great content lately!!
Mad flex with the clear orange N64 in the back ground i might say!
Grrr/Guillame was on "The Devil's Plan" on Netflix
dude i love the low quality of this vods, is there something nostalgic about the bad sound and the pixel graphics that makes me enjoy it even more
Love your content!
I think there is a big opportunity with starcraft to do more historical videos. @tasteless Have you ever looked at the History of "GAME" speedruns videos by summoning salt? That style of video is pretty interesting. In SC, there have been so many developments with the meta over the years that I personally would love to learn about. Some examples: Muta micro, hold position lurkers, or how metas changed over the years and how the game evolved. Love your content!
Replays were patch 1.08 in may of 2001. Apm was not calced until.... I forget the app. it was around 2004 if I recall
The show Guillaume Patry is on is called The Devil's Plan, btw.
This is priceless... Thank you, legend!
The Devil's Plan is the show I actually recognized him as soon as you mentioned him on Netflix haha!
These types of videos are awesome
Thanks tasteless
Love this content~! Myself from Quebec, it was insane how much of a legend Grrrr... was in the region.
LOVE all the starcraft history stuff you are doing
4:47 This my Mineral lines in custom maps 1 vs 7
this brought back memories, didnt they wear whacky costumes in the first wcg's aswell or am i remembering it wrong?
i watched the norwegian documentary on when slayer went to korea in 98 the other day. the gaming booths looked wild right from the getgo xD
I'm loving these historical videos. Keep it up man!
Why is there a time traveling Hookah in the middle of the room? Is that where all the smoke is coming from? Hot boxing the studio?
I'd kill for an HD Boxer vs Grrr series.
I am definitely very very interested in any historical style SC and SC2 content that you would be willing to make!
Your job casting in Korea gives you such a unique insight, and you're great at making informative content.
Starcraft Esports history content is surprisingly hard to come by. Other esports seem to have much more historical content available to watch, but for Starcraft it feels like you have to hope someone tells a story in a stream or broadcast (like Tastosis for example
the costumes and smoke lollll
ibuki 3s theme
love this kind of content, keep it up ❤
Not having instant access expansion locations and less reliance chokes could be better for more dynamic games.
maps are the way they are now to balance the game. island maps were cool too but we only see really strange island maps now that you couldn't even make with the blizzard map editor, because the original ones were totally imbalanced.
Hey, getting so nostalgic from those videos. Thanks, Tasteless! What a beautiful game this was, and stills is. And how talented were those 'giants' on the shoulders of whom everything afterwards stands. Maybe you can comment another epic foreigner in Korean Starcraft progamer scene- Draco? He was one of the very best😊[personal favourite for foreigner for me at least] Cheers, man!! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for this Tasteless! Love me some StarCraft history
XRRRRR; pillars, mayem. Those were the names.
I love those costumes, it's like out of the Legend of the Galactic Heroes anime. (The old 90's OVA one, haven't watched the new stuff) They're space commanders over their armies, totally thematical! Almost wish there was more of that these days, and to not mimic more athletic sports with the jerseys and stuff.
I also remember back when, I used to play terran and almost everyone else I played with played zerg because... 4 pool I guess? (Zerg rush was vernacular even among us somehow, 10-14 year olds in like 2001) So I always built a barracks and a bunker on top of my main ramp, and after holding their rush I could move out and kill my opponent. This was simply LAN in like youth centers after school here in Sweden, not ladder.
I went to Diablo II pretty quickly afterward so never got too into the more competitive modes myself, but I remember that koreans = "they play computer games as a sport lol" became a thing even in those early days, even though a lot of information about it wasn't readily available unless you were really into it.
This is amazing! I love these history videos, thanks :)
What a piece of eSports history Tasteless showed us today maaan
Man what's up with that setup and the costumes? 😂😂😂
I think it was cool af. This is how the future looked like in the year 2k lol
Love the 3rd strike soundtrack ❤
StarCraft: Brood War is the expansion pack for the military science fiction real-time strategy video game StarCraft. Released in December 1998
BW release date was December 18, 1998
? @@misterkefir
@@tunneltu yes
Omg yes give me historical breakdowns.
There were some videos up here on yt from the pre-osl "tooniverse Progamer Korea open" from 1999.
Edit: found the entire tournament ua-cam.com/play/PLxkhU3mwQUQtCiHI1B7CIkLCovJh7g-mJ.html&si=M2low9Jbl8n8ZA0X
Lost Temple was "the thing".
Is that the soulkey that sk terran gets its name from?
a foreigner won he first televised game! thats crazy
I really enjoy your channel Tasteless. Congrats and go on! Hello from Spain to you all
handsome baby Tasteless 2000 -> bearded daddy tassels 2023
I'd love to hear about the history of the Korean caster you mentioned. I'm a huge league fan and never made the connection that he got his start in Brood War. :O
Grrrrrrr,seriously old school
This was super cool to watch. Thank you
weirdest scenario I've ever seen
Plz review all the costumes they were some were lit
@tastelessTv A Norwegian documentary team followed "Alias Slayer" as hes nickname was. As he flew to Korea and won a tournament. Im pretty sure he meet "ilovestar" in the finals. ua-cam.com/video/pzoc-oOs3wU/v-deo.html
He was pretty much seen as the fastest player back then. This was early in the year 2000.
Great content @tasteless :)
Grrr oh wow, this is wild.
Tasteless looks really good for someone who is almost 40. It's probably because he plays Protoss :P
so cool, tnx!
i like these history videos
Great series!!! Continue!!!
It's really sad a lot of these classic games are hard to find.
Was there much if any competitive Starcraft before Brood War, even in Korea?
Wooowowowow that was a healthy dose of Y2K! It's so wacky to look back! Quarter of a century already... Personally, I'd love to see more like this!
And like you said, this was before the world was unified across the internet and you didn't have many tools. You had to go treasure hunting for stuff!
@TastelessTV please consider moving the banner, its blocking the mini map..
Hey Tasteless. Love the content! Could you put your links on the sidebar when showing brood war? It's covering up the minimap.
There were things before SC that would have certainly blown up just as big if they had the ability to be spread online more. Like look at this vid for Street Fighter in 1993. The setup and even player skill blow my mind for its time. My understanding is that televising the above for SC actually broke copyright laws and they lucked out by no major consequence. Perhaps a big reason why nobody did it before this. I thought Tasteless was going to talk about that more.

...so what is thst ball structure in between the desks? Decoration?
Love the video, if you could maybe not cover some of the screen in the next one, that would be even better!
would you consider talking about combatex vs TL mod match?
The rest is history
finally you are doing great videos nowadays, and the days of cringey thumbnails and content is hopefully over! subbed
3rd Strike music at the start??
nice video tasteless
is it possible to hide the social media id's so we can see the minimap?
Sorry, do i get this clear?! Starcraft was actually the FIRST Game ever what was televised in the hole ESports History?!
These games are what I knew when I played way back in the day. I watch modern players and am befuddled at the wizardry they perform.
i bleed star craft will play it ... forever
Hey man I love your content and everything you and Arty do for the scene. Unfortunately I have to complain here, as it's frustrating trying to appreciate this video when so much of the map is covered up by the graphic that includes your other links. Maybe you could make it more translucent or remove it after the beginning part of the video for future things like this? It's hard to appreciate the absurdity of the map when I can't actually see it. Love you buddy
The Devil's Plan
tasteless please dont pause the game during a battle
