  Korean here. Right on era matching and editing. Not only it is great game documentary but also great video itself as historic documentary. Huge respect. I remember that after high school, me and friends hit the PC bang, played StarCraft with ball mouse and CRT screen. Back then, I had more stamina than I do now, and most importantly, had more hair.

  Another reason the original StarCraft could spread so well is because you were able to install the multiplayer version of the game on multiple PCs from a single disc.

  &quot;There was always more StarCraft to be played.&quot;<br><br>I appreciate the nod back to Melee in this line. SC and Melee really do have a lot in common.

  As a Korean who is in mid 30s who played Starcraft at PC bangs that looked just like in the videos, massive respect. Thanks for making this awesome video. If you need any interviews about that era I would gladly help as I watched a lot of esports on tv while hiding from my parents.

  &quot;StarCraft was never meant to be played the way Koreans played,&quot; - and in this documentary, you&apos;ll never find out anything about our clickbait title as we ramble on about everything else but not at all about what got you to click.

  This needs to be like.. 10x as long. More people deserve to know that e-sports peak was Korean Brood War between 2000 and 2012! We will never see anything like it ever again.. And I&apos;m very glad I was there to see it all (through the PC monitor of course, but still..). <br><br>Really good stuff, dude!

  Really excited to see the rest of this. Starcraft is a series I know very little about other than its massive popularity to this day in Korean esports, and this seems like a rather untapped idea for a video series.

  Ah! You cannot be serious! You can&apos;t just rope me in with such a well made video and not give me the rest. You better be working on Part 2 quickly because I&apos;m am hungering over here. I had no interest in professional StarCraft and started watching this on a whim, yet now the full documentary is one of my most anticipated. You absolutely nailed it. Had to subscribe because I have to see the rest!

  Bisu, Flash and Jaedong brought the game to a level not thought possible at the time. They deserve endless praise!

  I was in Korea when StarCraft came out. It was big. I remember being amazed that they were treating it like a traditional sport with fans and even crying groupies.
