I was looking at this picture just now and it made me depressed oddly enough, seeing it made me remember how much I used to get hyped for these rivalries and how I'd stay up until absurd hours in the morning to watch the games live, I follow a lot of tournaments to this day but none made me feel even half as passionate as the old SCBW tournies.

I don't really have much else to say on the topic but it just brought back a lot of good memories too so maybe it will for some other people too.

The page I saw it on if anyone's interested

Damn, even during the pre-2010 slumps Flash went through, his rank never dipped lower than 6th. So amazingly skilled and consistent.

i also grew up on those four. i started watching when stork won his first WCG i think. so he was always my favorite. also the silver curse was fun =p

i started following the NBA in the past few years but if had followed the NBA when i was following BW i would probably feel the same about duncan, kobe, and other players retiring as i would about flash/jaedong/bisu/stork retiring.

but i've moved on and watching byun play has been hype. i don't stay up anymore but watching the vods is still nice

The real crazy thing is all four are the "newer generation" of players in my mind.

FUCK I'm old.

dunno, depends. Fills me with joy to know we still see this guys play on the highest level. (not stork, Jaedong soon again most likely)

To me, the whole Sospa/Afreeca thing is very different to pro BW, but certainly has it's own appeal. Im not up every night anymore simply because i work a lot at my regular 40 hrs job, but the next big Starleague final certainly get's me go crazy again!
