Might be the best article written yet, I can't say though, because it will probably take me a few days to read through all of it.

R.I.P. MBC, Hopefully I'll see you again in forty years when I'm old and fat

As someone who has only seen a handful of assorted BW games, I must say that this article is beyond words. So informative, intriguing, beautiful and touching. If nothing else, I will vow to watch all of those 25 games, to learn to appreciate the beautiful game and MBCGame.

Thank you Teamliquid and thank you MBCGame.

Though the amount of blood sweat and tears that went into this tribute was high, it could never have truly been enough to do over a decade of BroodWar the justice it deserved. With that said, I would like to thank everyone at TeamLiquid today and over the years for introducing me to this incredible esports phenomenon. For me, this community served as the window through which I could observe history unfold.

To MBCGame. To esports.

One in the same.

Excellent write up. Even those of us that favour SC2 over BW feel the burn at seeing MBCGame go. And for it to be replaced by a music channel, there is no justice

It's probably true alas.
But could you really write an article about the greatness of MSL without mentionning him ?

If he wasn't the cockiest out of all match-fixers, I would have been fine with his MSL run write-up.

Maybe he's second in line to Luxury, but both players did not show that they 'regret' what they did in the past and are still making money off from BW.

Also, I can't say goodbye. There was never a proper farewell, nor a sincere 'farewell' notice/news from MBC Media+. All I've seen is the apologies from the commentators and a forced program which introduced so many puns attacking MBC Media+. Call me an idiot for not saying goodbye, but MBCGame never got the respect it deserved in January, 2012.

MBC was what first got me into starcraft, and I'm extremely sad to see it's passing. There will always be a special place in my heart for you and your casters. Thank you for giving me some treasured memories.

Edit: Nate OSL was my first OSL, and the reason I fell in love with the legend LEE JAE DONG

Even as someone who has never watched Brood War, never watched the bonjwas perform miraculous acts of digital perfection, and never known of the rich history behind MBCGame until today, I was moved by this tribute.

Wonderful work guys. I'm sure the people behind MBCGame and the players that played in it would be proud to know that their legacy was honored in such a way.

Thanks for taking the time of putting this together. Just watching the ending video is enough to feel the loss this causes, the rest just makes it feel worse. :/

The top 25 game section is nice, will have to work through the ones I havn't seen yet.

This article is the peak of online gaming journalism, an excellent display of skill, determination and passion.
And MBC and the MSL is the only thing that comes to mind right now that deserves such a high level of attention, amazing job TL.
And farewell MBC, although i've only been following since a year you already felt like a friend i've had for a lifetime, ggyo.
