Can't believe we lost MBC and WeMade PirateZerg and Ozsucksballswithoutme's team wasn't all that much to write home about but it has been a year of up and downs. Absolutely great writeup<3

I like this )). Nice write up man. I enjoyed reading it.

To the folks getting sad that BW is dead or something, no... Brood War in Korea alone is more popular than any other competitive video game :|. It's a national pro sport in Korea, recognized and managed by the Korean government, and is the only video game that has appealed to all sorts of people in a society rather than just gaming nerds. It's not dead, nowhere close. It will only die when Kespa decides to switch it over to SC2, which seems they're in the process of doing.

Been disappointing for me for BW because Jaedong just hasn't been playing so hot for what seems like all of 2011 (I know not all but feels ) . Hope he can dominate in 2012.
When I think of something else, something will go here

aghh the tears can't stop falling , my first thread in tl.net to be spotlighted <3 , didn't expect it to be welcome by many people , felt like I just won the masters or something . Got to stop feeling good . Thanks I will think about writing up a small section for jing ho and all other veterans who retired if I can .

In the meanwhile I will listen to this song and cherish the small victory :D

Fixed that for you.

Anyway, great write-up and fantastic job! I'm super new to following Brood War but even I was able to appreciate Jangbi's OSL finals <3

I also really enjoyed following this season of ProLeague, I'm proud to say I didn't miss a single match, even if half of my Liquibets went horribly wrong.


lol .. I want KT to be last.


you should want more of your team to do better than another team to fail.

otherwise you'll feel more disappointment than happiness.


I don't have a specific team. I just want KT to be last. =


but why?
I know this isn't the place to ask but its so intriguing to see a total anti-fan.


I don't like dominating figures like Flash. I mean, he already broke the game. After having to witness his 2010 and 2011 run, It's safe to say that there will never be another player to top Flash and I think the only thing that is going to bring Flash down is going to be his age. And no one likes that.

I want a player who can match Flash NOW or else, BW will be dead when Flash starts to suck and then no one likes BW dead. You have to notice this since every game the commentators compare A-teamers to Flash, Bisu, Stork, and Jaedong. If these guys starts sucking and no one can top the level of play these guys these, then we are not far from being a fan of a dying scene. TBLS are the pillars of the current BW, and there is a current need to smash these pillars while they are strong.

I got hooked on BW when Bisu was the leading man of the scene and I've patently waited for a zerg to topple him. Jaedong came but also his bane, Flash. Then 2010 came. I do not know where to place Stork here ..


Fanboyism aside, you're pretty spot-on in that there is not a lot of new blood entering the BW scene. This is probably the largest long-term threat BW faces. What are the new players that have cycled into the scene since 2008-9? Wooki? Rain? Action? We can probably count them on one hand...
It is easy to lead a successful life, but hard to lead a meaningful one.

Nice read, good effort Sawa
It was definitely a very rough year, August and the months afterwards before PL (and the other good news) started were very hard to stomach. So much talent was lost. I actually fear the coming August, even though it's pretty far away. But I hope and pray for another successful year of proleague and OSL. May the BW gods look over us kindly and find Team 8 a sponsor.

I am looking more to these players: Baby, Hydra, Bogus, Stats, Fantasy.

They really don't have to be new players. With the number of games reduced bin the current PL and the removal of MSL, I don't think we will be seeing more from these players' true potential. What we need are more games to be played. Progamers complained about the games they had to play last season. Now, I think they can even barely play at all and with the absence of MBCH, WMF, and Oz; there is even a less saturation of players to play against other players. Baby, for example, when WMF was still around, he could play against TBLS which would mean we can guage him more and can be a a potential next 'TBLS'.

I don't know if I am making any sense to you guys but the idea is in my head and I just can't convey it right. All I know is that Flash needs to go down. Along with the KT because they 're the defending champion.
It's either the holes of my nose are getting smaller or my fingers are getting bigger. /// Always Rooting for the Underdog. Hyuk/Sin/Jaehoon/Juni/Hyvva/Hoejja/Canata //// Hiding in thread somewhere where BW is still in it's pure form here on TL.
