If one went back and looked at the quality of Brood War play back in its very early days (thinking 1998-2001 kind of era) I imagine there would be some similarities in terms of the strategies employed being unrefined, simply by dint of lack of experience and exploration.

EDIT: On that note I seem to recall mumblings about a ZK game wiki being made at some point. Anyone know what's become of that?

EDIT 2: I suppose a wiki kind of already exists, but it's kind of offical and you have to go through the deprecated Googlecode to edit it.

Are ZK players bad?
