WCG 2009 GF StarCraft Final, Set 1 - Jaedong vs Stork

[@iand6749]

decades (literally) later i still come back and rewatch. i played games (mostly counter strike and starcraft) on and off for years but this finals is what truly sparked my love for esports. the combination of epic micro, insane strategy/macro, and tastosis commentary; i feel so blessed to have lived through this timeline.

[@johandaugaarddrejer9009]

same, feel you!

[@ruitaozhou3042]

sc1 is the best.

[@rruzgarr97]

sc 2 has the graphics and all that but, really sc was something different. its so dark in a really awesome fashion and its really atmospheric I wish there were still sc 1 tournaments

[@therocks1682]

[@H1pNoZ]

The Rocks 1 is better

[@therocks1682]

i mean ``too``

2019 SC1 never dies ✌

[@rodrigoceballos7286]

People who say that SC2 is better than SC is that they have never played or at best of cases do not pass the bronze league and block a zerg rush. For me both games are equally good and perfect.

[@Kleavers]

Man that crowd roaring in the background is just awesome. I love this country.

[@marcgabuat6319]

here and thankful for StarCraft Remastered in 2017!

[@deadbutmoving]

An annoucer once asked Jaedong "What is best in life?" He responded "Crush the Terrans, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of the Protoss."

[@SorcAimanos]

Look at that crowd! Imagine SC2 having that these days

[@arkaridge]

@marines345 they have. WCG is held in a different location every year. Apparently it's going to be held in LA, USA this year.

[@pavelshchegolevatykh5447]

Watching this in 2017

[@ThailIPU]

"Let's just say if there's a fire in here, everyone's gonna die." That line alone made the whole thing worth it.

[@Loppy2345]

Shame Starcraft 2 was never this epic :(

[@stefancraft1]

Indeed, if they only kept focusing on this game and never released SC2... That would of been awesome , at least for me

[@jasonstobbe6509]

+Loppy2345 True...but then again I never played SC2...looked too insane for me. Love the simplicity of Star Craft.

[@SorakaOTP462]

Starcraft 1 is shit, so many things are unbalanced. Even coding sucks, large group of units can't even go through tight spaces.

[@stefancraft1]

+Rolandas Grigaitis That game was made in 1998 and you compare it to games these days? Lol

[@SorakaOTP462]

stefancraft1 Then at least stop saying shit like SC2 was never this epic. You didn't say that, but you agreed with his opinion.

[@DcBstarcraft]

Wow it is hilarious to look back only a couple of years and see the graphics we used to have

[@darkmanddk]

@NebraskaGrunt you can read a really good article about it on teamliquid. But a few reasons is that after Warcraft and Diablo, Starcraft with its great potential came out. This was at the same time where broadband and internet cafes all around Korea began to flourish. This meant that a lot of people were playing. And then little by little some chances were given to show SC on TV and such and then in the end it turned out really big.

[@wahhmann123]

so many elements of sc1 removed in sc2, for one you cant even kill protoss reinforcements because they can just pylon + warp to their current force.

[@sotadern]

is the protoss dragoon (idk whats the spelling) removed?

[@Droga24.7]

JustARandom Guy123MC There's another unit that can be warped in the Access: the Stalker, who can shoot both air and ground and have great mobility, with a spell that can makes them to teleport. The dragoons were "improved" in the protoss story and now they are called immortals, a Robotic Facility unit that can only shoot ground but has a shield that protects them from attacks that does great damage (In other words, they can't receive more than 10 damage), so tanks in siege mode and so aren't effective against them. And they're badass.

[@sotadern]

is it powerful as the dragoon?

[@wahhmann123]

JustARandom Guy123MC yea its definitely better, it has a blink spell that can teleport the unit and up ramps and is very mobile

[@sotadern]

ok. i still love the dragoons though

[@LeninKGB]

Oh darn it,that was something!The fancy graphics and sophisticated innovations of Starcraft2 pale before the unexcelled good old game play of the original game!Love it!

[@MusicSuperspace]

watching this makes me wish they never would have came out with sc2.

[@ITsupportian]

in America, sc1 was dying... I couldn't find someone to play multiplayer.. I had to go to Korean server

[@Kleavers]

I just love this whole quote about how busy it is. I come back to this video every time for it :D 1:52

[@silverstringsgia]

sc1 is BETTER than sc2!

[@vattasy1617]

no way!

[@dukekim8753]

no games inckuding LoL will never be better than sc1,

[@Codex_0613]

Duke Kim by "LoL", u mean League of Legends? how can u compare LoL to Starcraft since they aren't EVEN the same mechanic and gameplay wtf?

[@dm.9310]

Yes, That's very true. SC1 is the best :D

[@dukekim8753]

Codex i'm comparing with all type of game with different type of mechanisms. and yes, im saying that starcraft brood war is arguably one of the greatest game of all time. brood war is the reason why Esport is so big today because everything happened from Koreans playing sc1 broodwar and then foreign countries started doing the same thing. basically LoL and other games wouldve not been popular like right now if it wasn't sc1. I may sound like a total but im just a Korean .

[@devinjohnson5440]

I could never sit through a starcraft 2 game, and I watched this from begining to end. Amazing.

[@thetayz72]

This recording quality is pretty cancerous for an official cast, even by 2009 standards.

[@theGreasyDuster]

Amazing match, one of my favorite matches ever in fact

[@D3va92]

Let the haters hate! I love both SC and SC2 there is no point to compare them... If you dont like SC2 go play SC its not like anyone cares what you do. Also to those crying about balance and all(mines) are just low skill that have no skill at micro. Personaly i like mines. That teamdmg is awesome! Adapt and improve and stop crying ffs

[@juicyz0z0]

@Rzamortis This is a Finals in a different country, not a weekly Code S match. Pull your head in, they get hyped at GSL finals even more than they do in this vid.

[@awguo3013]

sc1 forever =.=

[@Kleavers]

Damn I love that crowd just rushing when something exciting happens. I still want to be in a crowd like that while watching an epic game....of Starcraft II :D I have to admit I really miss a lot of information SC2 observers get. Like what was in that Shuttle.

[@meelia4188]

All these people saying Starcraft 1 was better just because it was "harder" are just so wrong. By their logic they should all stop using their mobile phones and use fog signals to communicate.

[@SCDJMU]

SC:BW is art.

[@you8should7win]

@TheShadoek If you notice, the FIRST scout is always to the opponents base. They never check any where els first. Just the opponents base. THEN they take all the minerals and gas like you said. I just think its weird how they always seem to make the right scout EVERY time.

[@dieglhix]

[@Cambaudio]

This is absolutely awesome, I had no idea this went on. Kind of makes me want to game more again, I gave it up thinking it's pointless, turns out it's a sport!

[@awakenedsoul2638]

In starcraft 2 the reason why its not fun to play in my opinion is because first the game is not a balance game. Protoss is hard to beat too powerful for terran and zerg. Second blizzard didn't allow you to play lan. 3rd blizzard became too greedy released 3 games, first wings of liberty then heart of the swarm and legacy of the void rather than releasing the game that it has 3 races in one game and then releasing the expansion with additional troops and buildings maps ang campaign like they did in Starcraft. There are other several reasons than this. Starcraft 2 will never reach the popularity, kind of gameplay, replayability, fun to play and a well balance game like its predecessor Starcraft and Starcraft: Brood War. See, becoming a greedy game developer will make your games look bad and fans will lose faith slowly. Starcraft on the other hand is still popular until this day and I am hoping they will bring back Starcraft: Brood War in world championship tournaments.

[@awakenedsoul2638]

Brad Maxwell Respect your opinion. That is on Twitch. But here in youtube Starcraft: Brood War until this day have many followers, many people watch it until this day. Starcraft is an old game that is why Starcraft 2 has more people watching it so its logical, ON TWITCH. Don't tell me to get over it because I typed this for Blizzard to know their mistake before they release starcraft 3.

[@windowslogo3577]

they couldn't care less about the fans. They sold the games. They are happy.

[@awakenedsoul2638]

Ignas Valatka Do you agree with me?

[@windowslogo3577]

[@TheShark447]

Late wrath with the argent tournament kinda sucked. I also feel the zone design was lack luster, minus Howling Fjord maybe. I thought it was a decent expansion though, it just couldn't add up to BC or Vanilla. Cata requires no words though

[@mjshorty101]

Just got news that Jeadong retired, so sad, but im returning to this video because this is literally the first esports match I watched, exposing me to esports in general, and I became a jeadong fan ever since!

[@crunk4124]

StarCraft II is a fucking joke... Roaches ? Queens ? gay tactics and BLOBS ... StarCraft/BroodWar was fucking made for pros... you've got to play it with real micro and it actually takes skills to play it... with indeed some real balanced teams. Dafuq Blizzard stop ruining your own games... I'm telling you I am not giving a penny for their garbage anymore.

[@TheShark447]

crunk4124 They sacrifice the hardcore gamers for social gamers, more money that way, at the expense of integrity. That's why I turned away from Blizz. They had their golden era in the early two thousands. StarCraft, Diablo 2, then Warcraft 3, and then World of Warcraft immediately after, and now they have ruined all 4 just as quickly in the last couple of years

[@crunk4124]

Ishkur '' They sacrifice the hardcore gamers for social gamers, more money that way, '' Sad, but true

[@starfire2373]

+crunk4124 What if i told you, that it was the starcraft 1 community that fcked up starcraft 2

[@Gfors85]

sounds to me like you did not even bother to buy starcraft 2. its epic in campain and if you really would know the game, you would see that its sooo much more than just broodwar units wich makes it even more complex and advanced. So if you want to continue massing carriers, battlecruisers or guardians dont play Sc2, but if you actually can play starcraft, you will love it.

[@crunk4124]

''sounds to me like you did not even bother to buy starcraft 2.'' I did, that's what I said it sucks. As for ''massing carriers, BC and guardians'' I'm guessing you never seen a Finale of BW VS a finale of SC2 lol

[@Cambaudio]

@Amehtana Thanks!

[@Fallen608]

>2021 still enjoying SC1 content >Try to increase video quality.. ah yes, 360p era KZbin :) Seriously somebody needs to catalogue Tastosis SC1 content for easy viewing.

[@tathtath]

its soo cool to see all those fans! I love competitive gaming!

[@KoreanShinsa]

@thimy69 toss play doesn't require as much mechanical skill as zerg and terran. (aka good micro.) a big part of toss play is scouting really. you have to anticipate and see what the other player is gonna do, especially in a pVz game.

[@mcbirdythebirdy123]

playing this game on n64 is stil awesome :D never gets old...well only when i lose :(

[@blackMAMBA724]

This game is just too perfect. I hope SC2 is as balanced and allows for comebacks like that.

[@mine929]

@hhhsks jaedong is the zerg player, and stork is the protoss player

[@MolecularLevel]

@oldgreglova123 imo i found sc2's learning curve wider, even though im not new at sc at all, maybe i had sc1 tactics too solid and the sequel had enough changes to feel them

[@OneEyedJack1970]

@mik3p0wer That's why you make a copy of the cd and play off of it. You might want to see if you can find a no cd crack. You won't be able to reinstall the game, but you should be able to play off of your existing installation.

[@dnzota]

@Zenyatoo Thank You!

[@econdrone]

I love how the announcer referred to this as "sports"

[@naeseion]

They're actually much more different than that. The ease of control and macro alone in comparison is an enormous difference in the way the games play. The ease with which you can get together a 200/200 army and lead it around in a one control group ball versus SC1s 12 unit and individual production selection presents huge differences in ability needed to play well. This also applies at a pro level.

[@hadifirmansyah9709]

this bring memories... thx for the vids 😊

[@calvinwolff4350]

The best thing are the close ups to the players: Jaedong is like: 😠 All the time, but yet so concentrated. Stork is like: 😦 All the time but it does not matter if he did something well or something bad. He is always like this. I love these guys 🥰

[@117CamBam]

I recently started playing SC. It may be the best game I've ever played. I think I like Terran best.

[@1_Man_Media]

starcraft truely is just like sports in north america this reminds me so much of watching all the UFC's always 10 minuites of drinkability before the first punch. Hope SC2 can bring e-sports to us.

[@TheWilsapopp]

@diekontrolleure because sc2 was made in 2010... this game was played in 2009

[@ErikBramsen]

This is awesome! Is there any other way to review the game than by a video?

[@oxx0xx0xx0]

Yeah I noticed that too, however it doesn't really get as much attention as the console games do.

[@notdead31]

what made starcraft1 so aweseome was though it was so hard to control and master all the races where still so balanced it was just perfect for competitive play.

[@SuperMudz]

Actually that was a deliberate call they made, with the squad selection limit. Probably so players wouldn't go: select all, A + Move. These things do actually help define a game experience.

[@컴앤돼지코]

too happy that i can see these guys playing starcraft 1 thanks to Afreeca Tv

[@lumtaroc]

so awesome. such great players.

[@wildwest1832]

honestly probably the hardest rts game to play ever made. Highest skill ceiling.

[@IzeTheJukebox]

Read the beginning label. "WCG 2009 - Chengdu, China"

[@knolsnol]

"All he has left now is this mineral base, which Jeadong is about to say 'L-O-L no' to" great commentary!

[@Vargas3499]

When starcraft 1 remastered comes out I'm definitely jumping on that. Hope there will be official tourneys for the game, that'd be so damn epic

[@kopk888]

just curious is it good to spam cannon in your base? and why none of them have a large army of air units?(i just started playing starcraft 1 ;p)

[@lilkev098]

:O this is intense...been messing with sc2 for months but top teir brood war is just as good

[@superbarajaso]

It´s just insane how he recovered from that, i can´t wait to see what he can do in SC2

[@dreamsofmishra]

@150rex haha you have no idea. It's a national sport in South Korea, their level of gameplay is insane.

[@vinijdc]

1º - If you didn't notice, there is three games of the finals here. Since it is a bo3, obviously, if Jaedong won game nr.1, Stork won game nr.2 for sure. Otherwise we wouln't have game nr. 3. Got it? 2º- If you didn't check how many games are here and you don't want to be spoiled, JUST DON'T READ THE COMMENTS! The comments page is here to people comment abou the video AFTER watching it. There is no sense for anyone to comment about a video without watching it first.

[@SquallLionhart409]

@Itsallover57 uh... for it to be a spoiler, doesn't it have to be something that ISN'T expected?

[@Dismal626]

[@Burnft]

@Chavalierdeon No problem man :)

[@Igorsov]

@petvnla Yes, they will

[@contris1]

@TruePlayerrr ok, and what about chess? you have definitely more physical activity playing a game like sc1 with 250+ apm

[@hhhsks]

can some1 enlighten me? which team is Jaedong playing? and which team is Stork playing? either way, both teams are doing a pretty insane job. 2 cheers for gamers!

[@mcbirdythebirdy123]

FIRST. STARCRAFT SECOND. QUAKE 2 THIRD. COUNTER STRIKE Best Games for me.

[@33LB]

@glittereeo i agree with you, although keep in mind that darts and snooker are officially called "sports", and require very little physical activity. i don't agree with darts and snooker being sports either.

[@CrownedSerpent]

[@knifed91]

I have a question... Do they play of fastest or slower speed? Meaning i cant imagine on fastest, how are they able to handle all of the unit's micro...

whats the opening music called anyway? i dont mean the 'beyond the game' but the one prior

[@123TauruZ321]
