Firebathero proleague ceremony
This is a throwback to the time when Firebathero did the most ridiculous ceremony I’ve ever seen. It was when he won Proleague in Brood War. I thought it was relevant as he played in ASL last night. You don’t need to know the game at all, the victory celebration is ridiculous though. Watch it […]

If Stephano played Brood War
‘Chiu on This’ is a short and regular opinion blast Stephano is the greatest non-Korean to ever play StarCraft 2. Twelve days ago he tweeted that he was enjoying his first foray into Brood War. So a natural question is: what if he had played BW earlier? Would he have been a pro? The simple […]

SC2 seven for seven, never forget
‘Chiu on This’ is a short and regular opinion blast Yesterday, StarCraft 2 did some campaign about seven things you loved about SC2. I’ll probably get around to doing something along those lines, but here are two lists I wrote up in the meantime. Seven games I’d save if all of SC2 history was erased tomorrow: […]
