Nothing will ever replace it. Nobody who came after it will be worth listening to because they didn't know about it. Those who didn't understand it and follow it as a part of their life will always be vain of their own abilities, completely ignorant to the fact they are a mere shadow of the legends that fell before them. There will never be a substitute for the hole in our hearts. Certainly not to be filled by the inferior ego-filled one that murdered him.

It's funny because you're either a) missing the point or b) being really insensitive.

This is embarrassing on all sorts of levels.

To lose someone you've known so well, someone who has known you... is inexpressible. Words, communication, are fundamentally limited, and tragedy is somehow too sublime and too strong for us to convey it. Take care, man.

worst part is he's not even dead yet. He got shot in the back by his little brother and is just laying on the ground waiting to bleed out and there's nothing we can do about it.

I hope things work out for you in your life. I'm sure you know this better than me, but whatever happens to you, TL will be here.

I met this guy what is soon 4 years ago.

What a great friend, he is really changing, I hope I can appreciate his changes. I feel sad for those who met this very precious friend many years before me. I dont regret learning to know him late as I probally would be too young to appreciate him.

But what a great friend he was

I remember the days, sitting in my living room, staring at a tube-TV watching the KPGA, and watching the old school OSL where they wore space suits and shit. It feels like just yesterday I was watching the legend of the fall, the rise of Reach, the birth of the Cheater Terran, epic finals comebacks (XellOs, GGPlay), the birth of a bonjwa, the revolution, and many many more great memories. I will miss you old friend.

And although you maybe on life-support. I will be there with you until the end. Until we can no longer see your face, until you have been completely replaced, my first love.

I feel exactly the same. Never got to know him well until these past 3 odd years. Before that, we would only greet each other in the halls. But these past 3 years we grew extremely close, sleep be damned. Rooting hard every time Oz took to the stage, fighting to dispel the JaedongOz label, with sporadic success. My days spent wondering how they would perform in their next game, endlessly calculating their chances of success, and wondering which version of the team would show up on a particular day.

Well said. The yearning to share with others will forever be stifled. We can no longer look and point to this most established and presitigious scene as proof of BW's supremacy and legitimacy.

I was somehow still clinging on to hope after the first media day with the anouncement of the combined leagues, but it finally really hit me that its gone forever, leaving this gaping hole in my heart, with this latest anouncement. And it sucks feeling so empty. Looks like real life may have to take over to fill in this gap, but I really don't want to....

I understand the blog is about brood war, but he didn't judging by his post. And no, it isn't embarrassing; it is amusing.

I too have met him late, and I regret not spending more time with him. But his memory lives on, and we can enjoy the past still. That's something.

One last hurrah. For him.
