This was AWESOME. Sadly they didn't show any images of match fixers, but I guess it's no less than they deserve. And I sincerely hope for a Korean Air OSL 3 in the very near future, they do a hell of a job.

I'm surprised I also missed this much (Brought into the scene in 2008). It brings a tear to my own eye, reading what I never saw since 1998, but I can only hope for the best.

I can only hope SC2 will bring out a culture this immense, this spectacular. The Brood War fans seem to have such a deep understanding of the players, the game, and of just the spirit of StarCraft.

Long live Brood War, let us all toast our glasses! Rejoice, for SC2 will bring upon greater times! Perhaps even the MSL, OSL, and Starleague will move into SC2. I can't imagine how well that would bring SC players together. Even now, with just TLO and Nazgul, we're all sticking together. It's...I can't describe it with words.

BoxeR and YellOw looking tough at each other during the IOPS OSL opening. After the filming, both cracks a smile.

BW is so fucking amazing

Well, at least his name and ID are still in the list of participants.

Savior, Hwasin, Luxury, Yarnc, go.go ... too bad they couldn't resist temptation.

so sad.

i watched this over and over again.

the montage was already posted in blogs but it deserves to get more attention.

The first thing I noticed as well.

Also:

Reach is hot.
July with red hair is awesome.
Elky!
I wish I followed broodwar when there were space uniforms. I feel like they should bring those back.

I almost cried watching this... But I would love to see one made by the MSL.

I love Savior (started watching a lot of BW that time) and I cry when I see Yellow getting silver like 10 times...T_T

Its so hard to be a zerg/protoss fan (or a terran hater LOL).

PS: I love nada.

who was that older man talking on the big screen at 6:20 and what was it about?

The subtitle said "My beloved son" so it was probably the player's dad

While watching this, I felt like i missed out on a large chunk of history as i only recognized from the 2007 Ever OSL. Also, I felt a strange feeling that this may be one of the last OSLs that will be hosted. I really hope this feeling is false. >.<

i watched this video, having recently seen every osl finals, and it was so awe inspiring to see all of those legends in one tournament. NaDa, Boxer, iloveoov, Reach, July, down the list... The background music was good too

I can't believe it... this video was so amazing. I'm sure if Blizzard were to watch this... they would realize that they weren't killing simply a game... somehow BW transcended such trivial boundaries into a culture, a life, a phenomenal feeling beyond words.

I need a hug.

That was a fun video. It was cool to see some players who you have never herd of appear over and over. Best.god is the one who comes to mind now, but there were others.

The other thing that I found revealing was (P)

Reach in perticular. When someone created that "best protoss ever" thread, I was suprised to see reach even on there, having only seen his airforce games (not at all impressive) and with one title to his name. But to see his name come up again and again was amasing, from the 4th one ever all the way through to the most recent one.

Reach, the Hero of Protoss, is easily one of the most important Protoss players to ever play the game. Top 3 would be like, Reach, Nal Ra, and Bisu (in to particular order since I don't want to go down that road). Mantoss forever!
