Line 2: [[File:Star-craft-brood-war.jpg\|thumb\|400px]] {{quote\|''[[Badass Boast\|Only Blizzard could reinvent the RTS]]''\|Ubisoft's (''Starcraft''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s distributor in France) [[Tagline]] for the game. }} ''[[Warcraft]]''... [[In Space]]!<ref>It's far more sophisticated!</ref> Initially released in 1998, ''[[StarCraft]]'' took the ''[[Warcraft]]'' style of gameplay that had made Blizzard famous and adapted it to a [[The Future\|26th century]] setting.

Embraces this image by his [[StarCraft II\|sequential career]], frequently leaving without the customary "gg" and insulting fans and fellow pros alike, but otherwise being fairly pleasant IRL and critical of his mistakes rather than criticizing others. * [[He's Back]]: Julyzerg, Ever OSL 2008. * [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]: Terran players often get mine-dragged.
