I was playing Counter Strike 1.6 back then, and cod 4.

Then I bought sc2 and I was so bad at it at the start, not evne know wtf a build order is. I would stop making scvs after I trained like 9.

Then a cloacked banshee would fly into my base and I would only have 2 marines. But then I never got pissed and I learned about huskystarcraft's video about a terran standard opener and fom then on I just started playing normally. Then I learnt about Day9 and became a better gamer. Now im in mqaasters league dam sc2 has been a good friend

I remember playing a custom game as protoss against the AI, and made a void ray. They were so fking awesome and I just void ray rushed every ladder game and got thrown into silver. lol...

[Aean(:]

I remember when i first started playing (near the release date).. i didnt know AI hard-very hard-insane collect minerals faster then you.. i spent hours trying to copy their build second for second but never could.. so frustrated -_- (bronze). i was like wtf how they do that so fast.. and id be like.. i probably didnt make stuff fast enough and redo it all over again

I remember when I first got the game and I thought the HD and Husky were super good at the game/casting.

When it first came out I was visiting my gf in brisbane and about to head to splendour in the grass (a 3 day music festival) as soon as that was over, picked up a copy of SC2 in brisbane, flew back to sydney, installed it and played for about 3-4 hours straight. Oh and no campaign crap i just jumped straight into 1v1's.

I had finally gotten into an endgame raiding guild on WoW after months of grinding the required ilvl.... SC2 got released and I never logged on to WoW again.
come to think of it.... i sorta miss it... now that i stopped sc2...

I remember a year ago I was able to end my last drought from my SC2 smack.

The period post-beta and pre-release was hard. So very hard. *Shudders to remember.*

I remember trying to decide on a race. First I thought I would play Protoss cause they looked cool, and has big lasers.

Then I saw FD play Zerg...

My journey to getting SCII is not interesting at all , I got it like a month after release from EB after seeing trailers and gameplay.

[Malik]

i got i about 2 months after release and have never put it down since ^^

[Maggot82]

Never played a better game in my life since SC1

[johnnyli]

I remember when i bought the game on the release day. I played 5 games and lost them all then decided to quit for 6months lOl.!

[TABottles]

I had no idea what Starcraft was last september, I blindly bought it at EB games without any knowledge of the community and epicness that comes with the game. I ran home got it installed but my laptop couldn't run it.. =/ i had the game for about 5 months before i could play it on my new computer. I purchased Brood War as i couldn't handle lurking B.net forums for another month :/ Brood War is awesome, but my excitement playing sc2 for the first time after marvelling from the sidelines for half a year was the sweetest game experience ever.
I then proceeded to lose all my placements and join my pals in bronze

Also here's a link to my first ever win! http://www.sc2replayed.com/replay-videos/11623

I remember back in Bronze-Silver I kept losing to MMM simply cuz I refused to make banelings as they seemed horribly cost-inefficient to me then.

Now I make 20+ banes without hesitation.

My flatmate brought the game at release, and kept pestering me to buy it. I didn't get it until we were at the very end of season 1 - and I proceeded to jump straight on the ladder.

My flatmate hadn't actually played multiplayer yet, so we spent a couple months playing 2v2's as a TT bronze team - we didn't realise how good stim was, and refused to use it because it took away health :P

[nirvAnA]

I remember Kowi was telling me how he was having trouble with this Terran called RedArchon. My PvT was beastly back then so I was like look PvT is easy, ill show you! Then beat RedArchon 5-0 and sent kowi the reps, with a different build each game. Now its a different story though, i think i'm 2-18 vs redarchon in our last 20 games oh how the times they are a changing. FML!

[Zanderax]

I remember thinking HF was short for High Five. I'm not sure if I was High at the time.

I disagree, you were just cheesy, and the players you were playing sound terrible... -.-;;

But, i remember getting home from the snow at like 11:30pm and going down to the EB-games launch still wearing my ski pants i was in such a rush to pickup sc2 at launch, and then played through the entire campaign that night.

I did the entire single player campaign in a night / morning too, my gf and I stayed up till mid morning playing SC2 after midnight release (she works at EB games) and I took the next day off work with the intention to sleep, but instead slept for a few hours and spent all day doing 1v1s and 2v2s LOL
