So I'm in Korea and I'm watching OGN right now... the games just ended, trophies given, etc etc... and now they're running this montage... but here's the thing. Whereas other OSL's usually have a montage for the past season, this epic compilation is showing footage, qualifiers, and winners for EVERY OSL EVER. It started about 5 minutes ago and it looks like it's gonna go for at least another ten minutes.
It's amazing. Really, I didn't get into watching starcraft till 2007 so I missed out on the first 4 bonjwas pretty much... so this is not only a history lesson but gives me an appreciation just how much emotion is imbued in 30 seasons of OSL. From the players to the fans and the commentators, from awkward space suits to The Rock's ceremonies to a fan placing a flower on some player's desk to Anytime's tears... and all the while with OGN's trademark high production quality.
Amazing. Pro starcraft is amazing... has been amazing? I don't know... the "last" word is thrown around a lot these days, not just from uneducated fools but even in the commercials, commentators and etc. After today, it really feels like Starcraft has been figured out; and honestly, I never expected sc2 to be so ready to be a capable replacement. Seeing the rise of the GSL, watching today's finals, watching this montage... maybe today marks the end of an era.
Or maybe not... brb, need to watch this.

emily cho talking.
rough translation: more than us approaching them, the fans came to us. I've become an esports fan... and I love them. I love the fan of esports (she cries)

Noooo, missed this. Hope someone uploads it

Well it is the OSL's 10th Anniversary. It might just be that they're looking back on the last 10 years of history. Some might interpret it as a final look back, but I don't see it that way.

This. Exactly this. 10th anniversary is a huge thing, especially considering it was the first starleague ever outside of Korea.
Please please please someone upload this ASAP<3

Yep, I missed this, though I heard someone mention there was an epic ending in IRC. Hopefully someone can upload it somewhere, 'cause that's something I'd love to see.

Pro Starcraft will always be amazing.
I believe Starcraft has an infinity of great games in it. Right now we are just in an era, only a matter of time before it ends and a new one begins. Maybe SC2 will trigger this somehow by bringing people's attention to the OSL or something, kind of like what just happened to you. Most people on here don't know about anything before Savior's reign, and that is sort of sad because the game was much different then. As much as I hate him now, he really changed things forever.
I don't think SC2 has that kind of dynamic in it. It's too transparent. But that is just me, and when the money stops flowing and both the expansions come out I guess we'll see how much staying power it has.
EDIT: Yeah during the games they kept playing montages as well. And every one that Nada was in he was totally badass; especially when he holds his golden mouse in front of the camera. He's just like, "This is mine. I fucking earned it. Remember my name because I am one of the greats."

I watched this too, it was amazing.
As a relative newcomer to the BW scene, it was awesome to see scenes and full player lists from all of the old OSLs. Really makes you appreciate the history and drama...

The montage definitely gave me a chilling feeling that this was the last Starleague... very somber and they paid respects to EVERYONE, even the previously unmentionable Savior. It seems the song lyrics were trying to tell us something,
It's quiet
It's cold now
I'm waiting
To fall down
You showed me
That I need hope
That I need change
And change is coming my way
But I still feel the same
I still feel the same

err, hope someone uploads this

It was supposed to be an emotional song, and emotional songs usually have depressing lyrics. Not saying it couldn't be some kind of message though, but it's hard to tell.
