Warning: there are SPOILERS from PL and MST games today.

It's a working day for me. I didn't watch the live broadcasting, just updated TLPD regularly. My boy got his 90th PL victory, good. Someone lost his first game after the transfer, don't care. A long TvT, not interested. New maps are IMBA for Protoss again (?), shut up and do your job.

I didn't realize it's a good start of the new season until I heard Nal_rA say "thank you" in Korean and Kingdom was sitting next to him on the commentator bench with the same shirts and ties. I was like first Bisu Face (:O) then Sheldon Face (: D). I knew this would happen someday but I never thought it did happen today. Nal_rA and Kingdom, plus it's a Bisu game, what else can I ask for as a Protoss supporter all the time? (Maybe a Dinosaur) I admit I was angry when Devil Toss took the OSL trophy from Angel Toss 6 years ago. Who cares now? They are legends we admire and respect. I love to see they are together on another stage but still SC-related.

What's more? Happy to see Bisu perform so well after the off-season. Though I have to say he looks more handsome today because of the makeup. Compared to his fishing and diving photos when T1 took a trip to Saipan, the spotlight, delicate makeup, fangirls' screaming and Protoss are more suitable for him. He took away the breath of every spectator with amazing minesweeping control and dual recalls. His game is entertaining as always. You kicked off the new season with a good start. See you in a month (WCG finals starting on Nov 11).

And....I didn't know what exactly happened with GGPlay today. Sometimes photos said more than words. Though I was never a GGPlay fan, I don't even remember the scores of his final versus Iris, a veteran deserves respect. This happens to every progamer, the military draft or eventually the retirement. I saw lots of players from the old fashion time leaving recent years. It doesn't hurt that much, they are remembered. Not by all, but someone will remember.

An "old" man leaves, then a young Baby was crying. He was stopped at one step away from MSL. He may not be another Flash (Flash won an OSL at his current age). But I wish him the best next season.

Old rivalry, new colleagues, the smile after a sweet victory, saying good-bye to the old and keeping fighting to the young. I still feel I'm emotionally involved with the progaming scene. I guess that's why I keep coming back to it. It entertains me now as it did many years ago.

Good night, Seoul. Good luck to all in the new season!

Wrist injury. I'm glad to see him get a formal send off. Good luck to him, hopefully we get some updates about what he's doing afterwards.

Everybody should remembers GGplay vs Iris epic final. One of the best final game of that BO5 series.

GGplay always looks so boss in a suit and tie, like he'll pull out a deathnote at any moment. Sad to see him go.
