This just reminds me how the production value for BW TV is just top notch.

OP you nailed it, EVER 2007 was my favorite as well.

Bacchus 08 has a special place in my heart. The moment when sAviOr spreads his arm and all that gave me goosebumps then, and it still does

*miss you savior

Nuke did Bacchus 2009 even better thanks to his music. See the start of this video.

I wish they did another like ever 07. I think it is probaly my favorite, but I would like it a lot more if I was familiar enough with the progamers of the time to be able to know who is who based on drawings.

edit: Could only pick out Bisu by looks, and got Nada and savior by name.

Quite honestly, when I worked on the ISL intros, I went through several intros to get some ideas.

(Only counting intros starting from Daum OSL/GOMTV Season 3)

Here's my top 3 picks from OSL:

1. Ever OSL 2007

There were no limits on this intro, since it was a cartoon. They were able to do anything that they want without players creating awkward pauses or having bad facial expressions. In addition, the theme fit very well throughout the tournament. Simply the best intro ever.

2. Bacchus OSL 2010

Some may argue that there are better intros, but I really liked this one. Going back in history, OSL made their own media team to make intros/graphics for the Starleagues, starting from Daum OSL. The themes go: Fire -> Cartoon -> (Players having fun? Not sure how I can put this theme in one word) -> (Same here, but showing how buff/tough people were) -> 'Be The Legend' -> 'Save the World' -> Water -> Hand drawing -> Airline -> Alien/Foreign -> 'The Originality' The intro was very well executed, with side theme of the past winners between the players who were in the round of 16 spot. And who can forget the final intro that was almost 40 seconds long? Better than any other final intro I've ever seen.

3. Incruit OSL

'Be The Legend' (cough Boxer cough) Everyone wants to leave their name as OSL winner. Everyone wants their name on the hall of fame at the E Stadium. They want to become the legend. Though players like oov didn't qualify, they put him in the intro simply to go with the theme, and wow. It came out excellent in my opinion. Did I mention that Boxer looks awesome at the end of the intro when he sits down on the chair?

Notable mentions:

EVER OSL 2009. Very well made intro. I was debating whether to pick this over Incruit.

Batoo OSL: Another one that fits the theme very well.

Daum OSL. REACHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Maybe I'll do MSL later; however, OSL is better overall.

EDIT: Top 3 WORST intros I've seen

3. Bacchus OSL 2009 FINALS (and finals only). Ok we've all seen the cool water effects. And the extra intro that we get for final is... 2 photos of players soaked in water? Seriously? Looking back at this finals intro reminds me of TSL3 intros: they were good until finals. It looked like a 2 second job. Seriously. Take whatever you had previously, and just add new words or 1-2 new pictures. At least Bacchus OSL had a different music. (To TSL3 staff: Intro was awesome until I saw the finals. The games were pretty good though)

2. Avalon MSL: Seriously, you guys say this is an upgrade to MSL, yet its been the same style intro as.... let's count. GOMTV 4th, Lost Saga, Arena, and now this. Seriously, these 4 intros have very similar themes/style, and I simply got BORED over this intro. Thank god the finals intro was.... wait it was basically the same thing nvm.

1. Nate MSL. They just did CG graphics throughout the whole thing until near the end where they BARELY show the players. Not the way to do an intro. Though I was going to put this 2nd worst due to the finals intro (much better, actually fitting to the theme), thinking about the actual finals changed my mind.

The thing that got me into Starcraft weirdly was getting shown these intro videos to the OSL/MSL tournaments. This is the biggest thing I wish GSL would adopt. They got me interested in who these badass Korean people were doing and why it looked like they were all going to fight to the death.

So which one was your favorite? I have a preference for Ever OSL 2007:

I really really liked the latest Bacchus OSL intro for some reason. And then while the league was going on, I turned on KROQ for some reason for the first time in maybe two years, and they're playing the song used in the intro, by Linkin Park. I almost literally peed my pants.

And the Legends one are all so sick.

My two favorites have already been posted (EVER OSL 07, Bacchus OSL 08) but one that doesn't have a video posted is EVER OSL 2009, which would probably come in at #3 for me.

(Though supernovamaniac mentioned it in his honorable mentions)

I really liked 2008 batoo osl. Bacchus 2010 and Bacchus 2009 are both good too. Ever 07 is the best but I didn't watch the proscene back then :/. I liked Avalon and the current ABC mart for MSLs.

I like most of the intros actually lol. I'm surprised no one mentioned it yet Ever 2009 really grew on me.
