So in just under 3 days time we have the Australian launch of Heart of the Swarm and we will wave goodbye to Wings of Liberty! So I thought I would create a thread where we can put our best or worst memories and experiences of WoL and generally reflect on what has been a time of great change in the esports scene and gaming in general.
I want this to be a generally positive thread, but don't be afraid to QQ about something you hated. But you will feel bad. And we won't.
For me my best experiences were competing in tournaments for the first time, both online and at LANs. I'll never forget how nervous I was in my first match at ACL Gold Coast, but I loved it!
Best: nearly getting out of groups at acl brisbane and spectating wcs. Worst: ACL Melbourne.
QQing: Banshees. Everytime those mofos outrange my spore crawlers by 1 ******* hex I want to kill myself.
Best: Beating NaNiwa
-also beating value in g1 of that wt finals and seeing spartaz in chat saying "holy shit has he really got this"or something to that effect.
- Meeting lots of new people be it thru sc2 or barcrafts
Worst: -
QQ: if hots stays similiar to how it is now, im outties, not having fun with this game atm
GreekBest: Beating PoxJerg with my T MUAHHHAHHAHAH HOWMOD
Honestly my best experience was just being a part of this community. Thank you to all the SC2SEA members and ETL boys who made my time here so meaningful.

Best:
Meeting and being a part of this community, watching myself develop, having a chance to be on the more team creation and management side, dealing with sponsors etc etc
Worst:
Losing silly games in tournaments, getting dropped by drop hackers//hacking in general

Best of WoL: Probably finding Sc2sea and in terms meeting my fellow ToR members. Definitely the highlight of Wings for me
Proudest Moment: Beating DanO with my
Not so great: Going inactive for 4 months, because my graphics drivers were bugging out TT
Been a crazy WoL, of which only really the last year I have been active.
Just realised today I have almost been on SC2SEA for a year (13-March).
So many great moments for me in the last year and not a lot of bad moments. WCS was definitely the highlight for me and in all honesty I think the not so great moment was not being able to ladder as much as I wanted to due to work.
Community be pretty amazing so thanks to you all for your support of me and everybody else!
WoL. i had never played starcraft before this, i had wrote off rts games as a thing of the 90's. its showed me how much fun and in depth a game can be. WoL will always have a special place in my heart, it brought me into a community of amazing people, and the best weekend of last year was going to WCS and meeting aussie pros and just having a great time. thanks to justice and mattyb for helping me play this game and teaching me how to play.
Best moment: was probably when i finally beat justice or mattyb in a 1v1, all the hard work paying off finally and i was on par with my teachers xD
Proudest moment: Snorkelling a beer on stream.
worst moment: getting cocky and trying to do another snorkel and vomiting.
Best Memories:
Fighting my way from Bronze to Silver,
Joining SC2SEA and Fusion Slugs!
Meeting some fantastic people in BarCraft in Molly Malone's couple years ago and IEM 2012 and other events.
(Bryan Nirvana, Sean Flamga whom I played UT against in IEM, Antelope, YongMing, Chadmann, etc)
Worst: Getting Cheesed in my very first Match in the ladder.
Missing out on every single BSG Open because of Commitments Would love to see a change since I can't get out of BSG for a long time.

Best tournament memory:
OxygeN knocking out mOOnGLaDe in the first Blizzard SEA invitational. Which meant I played oxygen in the WB SF instead of glade!
Worse Tournament Memory:
Losing to oxy too lol
Best memory:
Being the top protoss finisher in all the major tournaments for the first 6 months or so
Getting cast by Husky and HDStarcraft way back in the day
Winning with aLt in SEAL 2
Being able to beat pig with random stalker builds lol
Worse memory:
probably all the drama that wasted our time, thankfully most of them have left our community!
